[Work Session]
GOOD AFTERNOON EVERYONE.WE WERE HAVING SOME TECHNICAL ISSUES.
UM, BUT I'M GONNA CALL THIS WORK SESSION INTO ORDER AND, UH, I'M JOHN BUSTAMANTE, CHAIR OF THE ZONING COMMISSION.
UM, BEFORE WE GET INTO, UH, THE SUBSTANCE OF OUR WORK SESSION, I DO WANT TO, UH, TAKE NOTE OF TWO THINGS.
ONE, WE HAVE A NEW COMMISSIONER, UH, MACRO BOTTLES, MR. BOTTLES, WOULD YOU LIKE TO INTRODUCE YOURSELF TO THE COMMISSION? YEAH, AND I LOOK FORWARD TO MEETING ALL OF YOU IN PERSON, ALTHOUGH I THINK I KNOW TWO OR THREE OF YOU ALREADY, UH, GAIL AND, UH, UH, UH, ALSO, UM, UH, KEN.
UH, SO, AND, AND THANKS FOR LISTENING IN THE ORIENTATION ALSO, JOHN, I APPRECIATE YOUR SUPPORT.
UH, I'VE BEEN IN SAN ANTONIO FOR OVER, UH, 33 YEARS.
VERY ACTIVE IN DISTRICT NINE AND IN, UH, THE AIRPORT GROWTH AND COMMISSION ALSO.
SO, UH, YOU'LL SEE ME AROUND AND I'M PRETTY INVOLVED ALSO ON SECURITY ISSUES, UH, FOR DOWNTOWN.
AND I WORK FOR A GROUP OF RESTAURANTS, UH, ON THE RIVER WALK AND, AND A FEW OTHER PROJECTS, UH, ALL UH, DEALING WITH THE GROWTH OF SAN ANTONIO.
THANK YOU SO MUCH, COMMISSIONER ROBERTOS, WE'RE HAPPY TO HAVE YOU AND WE LOOK FORWARD TO THIS FIRST MEETING WITH YOU.
THE SECOND ITEM IS, UM, IT'S SOMEONE'S BIRTHDAY, SOMEONE VERY NEAR AND DEAR TO ALL OF OUR HEARTS HERE ON THE COMMISSION.
AND SO CAT HERNANDEZ, HAPPY BIRTHDAY.
I WILL NOT ASK PEOPLE TO SING 'CAUSE I DON'T THINK WINCING IS MUCH OF A GIFT AND GIVEN MY VOICE, THAT'S WHAT IT WOULD BE.
UM, BUT STILL, I WANTED TO NOTE THAT IT IS YOUR BIRTHDAY AND WISH YOU A HAPPY BIRTHDAY.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY AND WELCOME MR BAR.
WE'LL HAVE TO, UH, FOR WHEN WE'RE MEETING FIRST AND WE'LL HAVE A REAL CAKE,
IF, IF, IF THE CITY ALLOWS IT.
ALRIGHT, BUT NOW LET'S GET DOWN TO BUSINESS IN THE WORK SESSION.
UM, COMMISSIONERS, UH, ANY COUNTS, UH, ITEMS TO BE PULLED, UH, RECUSALS, UH, ANYTHING ELSE THAT WE NEED TO ADDRESS RIGHT NOW? AND I'M GONNA START WITH COMMISSIONER GREATHOUSE, 'CAUSE I THINK THERE'S A GREAT NUMBER OF THINGS THAT SEEMS TO RECUSE HERSELF FROM, YES.
UM, SO I NEED TO RECUSE FROM NUMBER ITEMS NUMBER 2 6 8 15 16.
UM, BECAUSE 21 IT SAYS THAT IT IS SAN ANTONIO AFFORDABLE HOUSING INC.
BUT THEN IN PARENTHESES IT SAYS SAHA.
SO, UM, IF, IF IT'S SAHA, THEN I DEFINITELY NEED TO RECUSE IF THERE IS A QUESTION AS TO WHETHER OR NOT SAN ANTONIO HOUSING AUTHORITY IS INVOLVED.
IT'S IN FACT, IT'S IN FACT THE HOUSING AUTHORITY.
SO IT LOOKS LIKE YOU'LL PROBABLY NEED A RECUSE ON THAT ITEM.
OKAY, SO THEN ADD 21 TO THAT LIST AS WELL.
JUST TO RECAP THEM, WE GOT ITEM 2, 6, 15, 16, AND 21.
IS THAT CORRECT? EIGHT AND NUMBER EIGHT.
ALRIGHT, COMMISSIONER GREATHOUSE, ANYTHING ELSE YOU WANNA ADD TO OUR AGENDA?
UH, COMMISSIONER JONES? UH, YES.
COULD I GET COUNTS ON 18 AND 19? ON ITEM 18 THERE WERE 21 NOTICES, MAILED ZERO WERE RECEIVED IN FAVOR OR OPPOSITION AND THERE WAS NO RESPONSE FROM GOVERNMENT HILL ALLIANCE NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATION AND THE CONSERVATION SOCIETY IS IN SUPPORT.
AND THEN YOU SAID ITEM 19? YES.
ITEM 19 HAD 18 NOTICES MAILED ZERO RETURNED IN FAVOR OR OPPOSITION AND THERE IS NO NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATION.
AND DID, DID, UH, AND FOR NUMBER 18, DID THE OWNER AGREE WITH THE DE DESIGNATION? THE HISTORIC DESIGNATION? YES.
[00:05:03]
SEEING ANY, UH, STAFF, IF YOU COULD GIVE ME THE COUNT FOR ITEM 15 PLEASE.ITEM 15 HAD 19 NOTICES MAILED ZERO RETURNED IN FAVOR OR OPPOSITION AND THERE WAS NO RESPONSE FROM TANA OR PALM HEIGHTS NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATION.
ALL RIGHT, THANK YOU COMMISSIONERS.
CAN WE JUST SEE THE INDIVIDUAL ITEMS AGAIN? THANK YOU COMMISSIONER ROME, IF WE COULD, RIGHT NOW WE HAVE ITEMS 2, 3, 4, AND FIVE ON INDIVIDUAL COMMISSIONERS.
ANY OTHER ITEMS TO ADD TO INDIVIDUAL? UH, COMMISSIONER MCDANIEL? SORRY I DIDN'T JUST SAW YOU.
UH, I'M JUST CURIOUS BECAUSE WHERE DID, I'M SORRY.
ITEM SEVEN MOVE TO, IS THAT BEING CONTINUED OR I DIDN'T SEE THAT ONE.
ITEM SEVEN IS CURRENTLY ON CONTINUANCE, UH, TO JULY 20TH IS THE REQUEST CONTINUANCE.
AND IF I COULD JUST GET, UM, ACCOUNT ON ITEM 20.
I, I NOTE THAT WE HAD OPPOSITION TO THAT CASE.
ITEM 20 IS, HAS 35 NOTICES MAILED ZERO RETURNED IN FAVOR, FIVE RETURNED IN OPPOSITION.
UM, THERE'S NO RESPONSE FROM CANTANA NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATION.
TWO WERE RECEIVED IN OPPOSITION OUTSIDE THE 200 FOOT BUFFER, AS WELL AS A PETITION WITH EIGHT SIGNATURES IN OPPOSITION.
UM, WITH RESPECT TO THE, UH, COMMISSIONER FOR THAT DISTRICT, DID YOU PLAN TO PULL THAT DOWN FOR DISCUSSION? UH, IT IS CURRENTLY SET FOR CONTINUANCE TO AUGUST 3RD.
ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? UH, COMMISSIONER OAL? YEAH, SO ITEM SIX, DID COMMISSIONER GREATHOUSE, DO YOU HAVE TO RECUSE FROM THAT ONE? YES.
I'M NOT SURE I SAW THAT ON INDIVIDUAL.
UH, I THINK WE NOW HAVE A SEPARATE GREAT HOUSE RECUSAL, UH, AGENDA
I I THINK IT'S GONNA BE PART OF THE COMBINED HEARING, SO WE'LL, WE'LL GO AHEAD AND SEPARATE, SEPARATE OUT THE RECUSALS, UH, UNLESS YOU WANNA PULL IT.
UH, COMMISSIONER O'NEAL, UH, WE'LL SEPARATE OUT THE RECUSALS AND THEN GO INTO THE CONTINUANCES FIRST.
WE'LL BE HOW WE DEAL WITH THAT.
UH, THE TIME IS 1 0 1 COMMISSIONERS, UNLESS THERE ARE ANY QUESTIONS, WE WILL STOP THE WORK SESSION AND GO UP.
SORRY, I JUST WANNA MAKE SURE THAT, UM, CAN WE SCROLL BACK UP TO THE, TO CONSENT? UM, I JUST WANNA MAKE SURE THAT EVERYTHING THAT I NEED TO RECUSE FROM IS PULLED OFF OF THERE SO THAT I DON'T GET INTO THE MIDDLE OF IT AND THEN HAVE TO TRY TO, THAT I DON'T WANT IT TO GET MESSY WHEN I'M TRYING TO RECUSE IN THE MIDDLE OF THAT, SO, OKAY.
YEAH, SO WE ARE REARRANGING RIGHT NOW, SO JUST GIVE US A BIT.
[00:10:02]
NOW I THINK WE'RE KIND OF COORDINATED NOW.SO WE HAVE THE COMBINED HEARING NUMBER TWO THAT ARE STILL ELIGIBLE FOR APPROVAL BY THE COMMISSION, BUT THEY ARE RECUSAL, SO THERE'S COMBINED HEARING NUMBER ONE, THEN COMBINED HEARING NUMBER TWO, KEEP GOING.
SO 6, 8, 15 AND 21 ARE A COMBINED HEARING.
NUMBER TWO FOR THE PURPOSE OF A RECUSAL ONLY, ONLY SINCE SEVEN, 16 AND 20 ARE ON COMBINED HEARING NUMBER THREE THAT MAY HAVE A, A RECUSAL, BUT THEY'RE ALSO, UM, FOR CONTINUANCE DIFFERENT DATES.
AND THEN THE LAST WE HAVE IS NUMBER TWO, BUT THAT WAS ALREADY ON INDIVIDUAL HEARING AND SO THAT'LL BE PERFECT.
THANK YOU COMMISSIONER GREATHOUSE.
UH, COMMISSIONER'S LAST CHANCE QUESTIONS BEFORE WE GO INTO PUBLIC HEARING.
COULD YOU PLEASE SCROLL UP BECAUSE UM, I DON'T HAVE THE COMBINED HEARING ONE.
THERE MUST BE AN UPDATED LIST.
I HAVE ONE THAT SEEMS OUTDATED.
SO COMBINED HEARING NUMBER ONE.
YEAH, YOU'LL HAVE TO DISREGARD WHAT UH, CHRISTIE SENT EARLIER 'CAUSE ALL IT ALL CHANGED NOW.
YEAH, IT'S COMPLETELY DIFFERENT BUT I'VE GOT IT NOW.

WITH A HOUSE A BARN STORAGE SHED AND A WELL, THE EASTERN BOUNDARY OF THE SITE IS WITHIN A FLOODPLAIN.UH, HOWEVER, NO SENSITIVE FEATURES WERE OBSERVED ON SITE NOR NOTED ON FILE.
SO IS RECOMMENDING APPROVAL WITH ALL ENVIRONMENTAL RECOMMENDATIONS WITHIN THE REPORT TO INCLUDE 57% PERVIOUS COVER FOR THE OVERALL SITE, UH, FLOODPLAIN BUFFER AND, AND THE WELL SHOULD BE PROPERLY PLUGGED.
UH, IS THE APPLICANT PRESENT? SORRY TO UNMUTE.
CAROLINE MCDONALD WITH BRANDON ORTIZ, ONE 12 EAST PECAN HERE ON BEHALF OF THE APPLICANT FOR THE ZONING APPLICATION.
WE DO HAVE A PRESENTATION PREPARED, UM, FOR THIS ITEM STAFF, IF YOU COULD PLEASE PULL, PULL THAT UP.
UM, JUST THIS CASE, WE'VE BEEN WORKING ON THIS CASE SINCE THE END OF 2020.
WE, UM, I KNOW THERE'S NO TECHNICALLY NO NEIGHBORHOOD OF RECORD, UM, ON THE CITY'S WEBSITE, BUT THERE IS THE ARBOR AT SONOMA RANCH, UM, TO OUR WEST AND THEN THE SONOMA RANCH, H O A TO OUR NORTH.
UM, VERY EARLY ON, EVEN BEFORE SUBMITTING THE ZONING COMMITTEE BEGAN DISCUSSING, UM, THE POTENTIAL REZONING AND PROJECTS WITH THEM.
UM, SO WE BELIEVE WE'RE AT A GOOD PLACE AND WE'D LIKE TO MOVE FORWARD WITH, WITH THE ZONING.
UM, TODAY, SO I THINK I SEE THE, UM, PRESENTATION UP STAFF.
OH AND I FAILED TO MENTION WE DO HAVE OUR OTHER TEAM MEMBERS HERE FOR THE PROJECT.
WE HAVE RICK HOLLAND AND MIKE FULTON WITH FULTON DEVELOPMENT.
AND THEN WE HAVE TOM CARTER WITH P DAWSON, OUR ENGINEER.
THEY WILL BE AVAILABLE FOR ANY QUESTIONS.
UM, HERE ON SLIDE TWO, YOU CAN SEE THE ZONING MAP IN THE AREA.
THE PROPERTY IS, UH, C TWO, C THREE C ONE WITH ALL APPLICABLE OVERLAYS.
WE ARE SURROUNDED BY DEVELOPMENT RESERVE, UM, THAT BLUE AREA TO OUR WEST.
THAT IS THE ARBOR AT SONOMA RANCH.
WE DO HAVE, UH, MULTIFAMILY AND OTHER COMMERCIAL USES AROUND US.
THIS IS AGAIN, A DISTRICT EIGHT CASE.
WE ARE REQUESTING AN M F 18 ZONING DISTRICT, WHICH IS NOT ONLY CONSISTENT AND COMPATIBLE WITH THE SUBURBAN TIER LAND USE DESIGNATION AND THE NORTH SECTOR PLAN, BUT IS ALSO A COMPATIBLE TRANSITION BETWEEN THE COMMERCIAL ALONG 1604 TO THE SINGLE FAMILY TO THE WEST.
UM, JUST FOR REFERENCE, THIS IS PART OF THE STEEL FAMILY RANCH.
UM, AS YOU CAN SEE, UH, OR YOU SAW ON THAT PREVIOUS SLIDE, PLEASE GO TO SLIDE FOUR.
NEXT ONE, SORRY, WITH ALL THAT, THE EXAMPLE RENDERING.
UM, SO THE DEVELOPER IS FULTON DEVELOPMENT.
UM, THEY HAVE A NUMBER OF PROJECTS, UH, NOT JUST HERE IN SAN ANTONIO AND TEXAS, BUT THROUGHOUT THE COUNTRY.
UM, WE ARE REQUESTING THE MF 18 ZONING DI DISTRICT NOT FOR THE TRADITIONAL GARDEN STYLE RENTAL, UM, THAT WE SO OFTEN SEE.
UM, BUT YOU CAN SEE HERE IN THE RENDERING, UH, IT'LL BE A BUILD TO RENT FARM STYLE COMMUNITY.
UM, THE EXAMPLE THAT YOU SEE HERE IS, UH, PART OF THE BIRDSONG AT ALAMO RANCH.
IT IS A, I BELIEVE, NEARLY COMPLETE, UM, VERY SIMILAR, UM, DEVELOPMENT OVER AT ALMA RANCH IN 1604 WITH AMENITIES, UNIQUE FLOOR PLANS.
UM, AND, YOU KNOW, GATED AND LANDSCAPING FEATURES.
THIS IS SUBSTANTIALLY SIMILAR TO WHAT WILL BE AT THIS HOUSEMAN LOCATION IF, IF THE ZONING IS APPROVED.
THIS SLIDE FIVE, UM, IS A CONCEPTUAL SITE PLAN.
YOU CAN SEE, YOU KNOW, IF YOU DO THE MATH WHILE THE MF 18 WE'RE REQUESTING ALLOW APPROXIMATELY 612 UNITS.
WE HAVE BEEN WORKING WITH THE ARBOR SONOMA RANCH AND SONOMA RANCH, H O A ON CERTAIN DESIGN AND DEVELOPMENT RESTRICTIONS, INCLUDING TO OR INCLUDING LIMITING THE NUMBER OF UNITS TO 400, WHICH IS ABOUT 12 UNITS PER ACRE.
UM, HERE ON SLIDE FIVE, THE CONCEPTUAL SITE PLAN, UM, YOU CAN SEE THERE'S TWO ACCESS POINTS.
ONE ON SONOMA, ONE ON HOW WIND SHARED GREEN SPACE.
UM, SOME OF THE OTHER DEVELOPMENT RESTRICTIONS THAT WE ARE AGREEING TO WILL BE, UM, 30 FOOT BUFFER AND 50 FOOT BUILDING SETBACK FROM THE ADJACENT HOMES.
UM, WE'RE ALSO AGREEING TO LIMITING THE HEIGHT TO ABOUT, UH, ROUGHLY TWO STORIES.
[00:45:01]
OUR, THE DEVELOPMENT RESTRICTIONS WERE SENT TO THE, A NEW RANCH IN THEIR ATTORNEY IN MAY, 2021.AND WE ARE COMMITTED TO WORKING WITH THEM AND, UM, GETTING THOSE FINALIZED BEFORE COUNCIL.
UM, YOU'LL SEE HERE THIS IS A CONCEPTUAL COMMERCIAL SITE PLAN THAT WAS DONE IN ABOUT 2007.
UM, YOU, WHEN WE COMPLETED THE REZONING FOR THIS TRACK, UM, YOU COULD SEE THE VARIOUS COMMERCIAL USES THAT ARE ALLOWED BY WRIGHT IN THE CURRENT ZONING DISTRICT.
YOU'LL ALSO SEE WITH THE TABLE BELOW THAT THE PEAK HOUR TRIPS OR RATHER DAILY TRIPS PERMITTED IN THE CURRENT ZONING IS ABOUT 16,000.
UM, WITH THE COMMERCIAL USES THAT ARE ALLOWED THERE ON, WITH THIS REZONING TO MF 18, IT'S ABOUT A 78% REDUCTION IN TRAFFIC.
UM, AND THAT'S JUST, WE WERE PROPOSING 485 UNITS, SO THAT WOULD BE APPROXIMATELY 3,550 TRIPS.
BUT WE'VE COME DOWN FROM THAT NUMBER, SO IT'S EVEN SUBSTANTIALLY LESS THAN, THAN WHAT'S STATED ON THAT SITE PLAN.
UM, SO WE HAVE BEEN WORKING WITH THE HOAS IN THE AREA WORKING ON SITE PLAN AND DEVELOPMENT, UM, FOR ABOUT 6, 7, 8 MONTHS NOW.
AND WE ARE READY TO MOVE FORWARD WITH THE REZONING AND RESPECTFULLY REQUEST YOUR APPROVAL OF OUR REZONING REQUEST.
UM, AND WE ARE AVAILABLE FOR ANY QUESTIONS YOU MAY HAVE.
IS THERE ANY PUBLIC COMMENT? NO, SIR.
WE DON'T HAVE ANY LIVE CALLERS OR VOICEMAILS.
UH, THIS IS A DISTRICT EIGHT CASE, UH, COMMISSIONER O'NEAL.
UM, I HAVE A QUESTION FOR STAFF FIRST.
UM, CAN YOU EXPLAIN WHY, UH, THE ADJACENT PROPERTIES ARE STILL, STILL HAVE THE DEVELOPMENT RESERVE ZONING CATEGORY? IT DOESN'T LOOK LIKE, UH, WE DON'T KNOW EXACTLY WHY.
WE'D HAVE TO DIG INTO THE HISTORY, BUT IT LOOKS LIKE THEY ARE ASSIGNED THE DR ZONING DESIGNATION, WHICH WOULD ALLOW THEM TO BE DEVELOPED AS SINGLE FAMILY, OUR SIX SINGLE FAMILY.
SO IT WAS JUST SOMEHOW AFTER ANNEXATION THEY NEVER GOT A CHANGE IN ZONING? YES, MOST LIKELY.
WHEN THIS WAS DONE IN, OH GOSH, AT LEAST 10 YEARS AGO OR SO, THIS IS WHEN, UM, UH, PLANNING DEPARTMENT THAT USED TO DO THE ANNEXATION WOULD BRING THEM INTO THE CITY, UM, AND ASSIGN THEM DR WITH THE INTENT OF TRYING TO GO BACK AND, UH, REZONING THEM, UH, TO WHAT WAS DEVELOPED OR WHAT WAS PART OF THEIR MASTER DEVELOPMENT PLANS.
MOST LIKELY, UH, THESE AREAS DID NOT GET, UH, REZONED AGAIN.
UH, BECAUSE RIGHT AROUND THAT TIME WE PROBABLY HIT THE RECESSION IN STAFF, UH, WAS, UH, OUR, OUR STAFF RESOURCES WERE DECREASED AT THAT TIME.
SO IT'S JUST NEVER BEEN REZONED SINCE ANNEXATION.
AND THEN, MS. MCDONALD, I'M SORRY, I KNOW YOU SAID THIS A BUNCH OF TIMES, BUT I WAS LOOKING AT MY NOTES AND ALL THE CHANGES AND NUMBER OF UNITS.
CAN YOU JUST CLARIFY AGAIN, UM, NUMBER OF UNITS? YES.
UM, WE ARE NOT TO EXCEED, UH, 400 UNITS.
UH, THAT IS ALL THE QUESTIONS I HAVE.
COMMISSIONER O'NEAL, UH, COMMISSIONERS, ANY FURTHER QUESTIONS? SEEING NONE AND HEARING NO OUTCRY COMMISSIONER O'NEAL FOR DISCUSSION AND MOTION TO YOU.
UM, YES, THIS HAS BEEN IN THE PLANNING STAGES FOR A LONG TIME.
UM, I, I ATTENDED A COUPLE OF VIRTUAL MEETINGS ON THIS.
I, I KNOW SOME NEIGHBORS WERE CONCERNED ABOUT THE, THE, THE ADDITIONAL TRAFFIC AND TRAFFIC SAFETY.
UM, BUT THAT OF COURSE IS IN COMPARISON TO WHAT'S THERE NOW, WHICH IS NOTHING.
AND AS MC MS. MCDONALD SAID IN COMPARISON THAT WHAT COULD BE PUT THERE WITH C TWO.
THIS IS, UH, A SUBSTANTIAL REDUCTION.
I REMAIN A LITTLE CONCERNED ABOUT CARS BEING ABLE TO MAKE A LEFT TURN OUT OF THIS DEVELOPMENT, BUT, UH, GIVEN THE TRAFFIC PATTERNS AND, AND TEXT DOT DOESN'T SEEM TO BE REQUIRING ANYTHING ELSE IN THERE.
UM, I DON'T THINK THERE'S ANYTHING WE CAN DO ABOUT THAT.
SO, UM, I AM GOING TO MAKE A MOTION FOR APPROVAL OF ITEM TWO WITH ALL STALLS.
ALRIGHT, IS THERE A SECOND? SECOND.
UH, THERE IS A MOTION FOR APPROVAL WITH ALL SAS RECOMMENDATIONS AND A
[00:50:01]

UH, COMMISSIONER GREATHOUSE, IF YOU WOULD RETURN TO THE MEETING.
DO I SEE COMMISSIONER GREATHOUSE? YES, I DO.
THE TIME IS 1 44 AND COMMISSIONER GREATHOUSE HAS RETURNED TO THE MEETING STAFF.

[01:05:01]
REALLY A, A HIGHWAY FRONTAGE PROPERTY.UH, THIS IS IN THE PART OF TOWN OBVIOUSLY ON 1604, UH, RIGHT WHERE JONES MALTSBERGER AND BULVERDE, UH, COME TOGETHER AND THEN, UM, INTERSECT WITH 1604.
SWITCHING INTO, UH, SLIDE NUMBER THREE PLEASE.
UH, AND THIS IS JUST, UM, A LITTLE BIT MORE ZOOMED OUT.
UH, YOU CAN SEE SOME OF THE SURROUNDING USES, UH, MOSTLY COMMERCIAL DEVELOPMENT.
YOU HAVE A LARGE, UH, CHARTER SCHOOL, UH, ACROSS JONES MOSSBERG TO THE SOUTH.
UH, BUT PRIMARILY COMMERCIAL DEVELOPMENT.
UH, AS STAFF MENTIONED, THE CURRENT USE OF THE PROPERTY, UH, ALTHOUGH WE'RE WE'RE ZONED R SIX AND AND HAVE BEEN REALLY SINCE ANNEXATION, THE CURRENT USE OF THE PROPERTY, UH, WHICH HAS BEEN THERE PRIOR TO ANNEXATION, IS A LANDSCAPE BUSINESS, UH, WHICH IS, UH, REALLY AN INDUSTRIAL USE.
THE, UH, USE IS ALLOWED BY RIGHT IN, UH, L UH, OR EVEN I ONE.
UM, SO ALTHOUGH WE'RE ZONED TO R SIX, UH, WE'VE BEEN MORE OF AN INDUSTRIAL USE FOR, UH, FOR A COUPLE DECADES.
UM, SWITCHING TO OR MOVING FORWARD TO SLIDE FOUR, UH, AND YOU CAN GO THROUGH THESE FAIRLY QUICKLY.
UH, SLIDE FOUR SHOWS OUR, UH, LAND USE PLAN DESIGNATION.
WE ARE IN THE SAN ANTONIO INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT, UH, VICINITY LAND USE PLAN, UH, PROPERTIES CURRENTLY COMMUNITY COMMERCIAL.
UH, AND WE'RE ACTUALLY RIGHT NEXT TO, UH, THE START OF A, A PRETTY BIG REGIONAL CENTER, UH, NODE GOING TOWARDS THE INTERSECTION OF, UH, VERDE IN 1604, UH, COMMUNITY COMMERCIAL THAT, UH, CURRENT LAND USE DESIGNATION IS CONSISTENT WITH OUR REQUEST FOR C TWO.
UH, IF YOU FLIP TO SLIDE NUMBER FIVE, UM, YOU SEE THE ZONING THAT, UH, THAT IS ON THE GROUND NOW.
UH, MOST OF WHAT'S AROUND US IS C TWO OR C THREE, WHICH IS CONSISTENT WITH THE LAND USE DESIGNATION YOU JUST SAW.
UH, WE ACTUALLY HAVE SOME I ONE ABUTTING US TO THE WEST.
UH, AND THEN YOU SEE OUR R SIX SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL ZONING, UH, THAT REALLY STICKS OUT, UM, KIND OF OUT OF PLACE THERE, UH, BEING ALONG 1604 SURROUNDED BY THOSE OTHER COMMERCIAL USES.
AND, AND AGAIN, THE PROPERTY, UH, HASN'T BEEN USED FOR WHAT IT'S ZONED FOR, FOR, FOR DECADES.

THIS WILL BE THE NEW, UH, CORPORATE HEADQUARTERS FOR LOCAL COMPANY, UH, GENERATIONS FEDERAL CREDIT UNIONS.
SO THEY WILL BE, UM, UH, PLANTING THEIR FLAG THERE.

Staff recommends Approval. (Joyce Palmer, Senior Planner, (210) 207-0315, Joyce.Palmer@sanantonio.gov, Development Services Department).]
ITEM NUMBER FIVE IS A REQUEST TO REZONE FROM RMM FOUR A H O D TO RMM FOUR H L A H O D LOCATED AT 8 28 NEVADA STREET.47 NOTICES WERE MAILED, ZERO WERE RETURNED IN FAVOR OR OPPOSITION.
THERE WAS NO RESPONSE FROM DENVER HEIGHTS NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATION.
THE CONSERVATION SOCIETY IS IN SUPPORT AND THE PROPERTY OWNER OPPOSES THE REQUEST.
THE CURRENT RMM FOUR RESIDENTIAL MIXED DISTRICT IS AN APPROPRIATE ZONING FOR THE PROPERTY AND SURROUNDING AREA.
THE BASE ZONING REMAINS THE SAME AND THE HL IS SIMPLY THE ADDITION OF A HISTORIC LANDMARK OVERLAY.
IS, IS THE APPLICANT PRESENT? YES.
HAY, IF YOU WOULD PLEASE INTRODUCE YOURSELF AND PROVIDE THE PRESENTATION.
UM, STAFF, IF YOU DON'T MIND GOING AHEAD AND PULLING UP THE PRESENTATION THAT WE SENT OVER.
UM, UH, I'LL GO AHEAD AND INTRODUCE MYSELF.
I'M THE SCADA SE PROGRAM MANAGER AT THE OFFICE OF HISTORIC PRESERVATION.
UM, THE CASE THAT'S BEFORE YOU TODAY IS THE LANDMARK DESIGNATION OF 8 28 NEVADA.
AND WE ARE HERE BECAUSE CITY COUNCIL HAS ACTUALLY ASKED STAFF TO INITIATE THE DESIGNATION AT THIS PROPERTY.
UM, I'M NOT SEEING THE PRESENTATION YET, BUT I'LL GO AHEAD AND GET STARTED SO WE DON'T, UM, HAVE A DELAY.
IF YOU COULD JUST GO TO SLIDE TWO, THAT'D BE JUST FINE.
UM, THIS PROPERTY IS A SINGLE STORY CRAFTSMAN STYLE RESIDENCE.
IT WAS BUILT IN 1918 BY ED STEVENS SONS FOR JOHN AND NONA TINSLEY.
IT'S LOCATED IN THE DENVER HEIGHTS NEIGHBORHOOD IN CITY COUNCIL DISTRICT TWO, AND CURRENTLY JOSE CASTRO AND CARL HERRICK ARE THE PROPERTY OWNERS.
OKAY, ON THE SLIDE THREE, UM, THIS PROPERTY CAME TO OUR ATTENTION BECAUSE OF A DEMOLITION REQUEST IN JANUARY OF THIS YEAR.
AND O P'S REVIEW INDICATED THAT THE PROPERTY WAS POTENTIALLY SIGNIFICANT.
UM, A REQUEST FOR A FINDING OF HISTORIC SIGNIFICANCE WAS HEARD BY THE HISTORIC AND DESIGN REVIEW COMMISSION ON MARCH 17TH.
AND THE H D R C AGREED WITH STAFF THAT THE STRUCTURE WAS ELIGIBLE FOR DESIGNATION AND SENT THE CASE TO CITY COUNCIL IN APRIL.
UH, CITY COUNCIL THEN AGREED THAT THE PROPERTY WAS ELIGIBLE AND DI DIRECTED STAFF TO BEGIN THE REZONING PROCESS.
UM, THE H D R C VOTED IN SUPPORT OF THE DESIGNATION CASE ON JUNE 16TH.
OKAY, YOU'LL GO ON TO SLIDE FOUR.
UM, JUST A FEW BRIEF NOTES ABOUT
[01:15:01]
THE HISTORIC SIGNIFICANCE OF THE PROPERTY.UM, STAFF EVALUATED, UM, THE PROPERTY FOR SIGNIFICANCE BASED ON THE ELIGIBILITY CRITERIA THAT ARE, UH, WITHIN THE U D C AND FOUND, UM, THAT IT MET FOUR.
SO FIRST, UM, BECAUSE OF ITS LOCATION WITHIN A HISTORICALLY BLACK NEIGHBORHOOD WHERE NEARLY ALL OF THE HOMEOWNERS AND RENTERS WERE PEOPLE OF COLOR.
UM, UH, REMARKABLY, UH, ON THIS BLOCK IN PARTICULAR, FAMILIES, UH, TENDED TO LIVE IN THEIR HOMES FOR MULTIPLE DECADES AND GENERATIONS.
FROM THE 1910S THROUGH, UM, AT LEAST THE 1950S, UH, IT MET CRITERION NUMBER FOUR BECAUSE THE HOUSE WAS BUILT BY ED STEVEN AND SONS, WHICH IS THE SAN ANTONIO COMPANY THAT WAS FOUNDED IN 1866 AND REMAINS IN BUSINESS STILL TODAY.
UH, CRITERION FIVE, UH, FOR ITS, UM, UH, REPRESENTATION OF THE CRAFTSMAN STYLE, UH, RETAINING CHARACTER, DEFINING FEATURES, UM, INCLUDING CLAPPER SIDING, EXPOSED RAPTOR TAILS, TRIANGULAR KNEE BRACES, UH, FRONT GD PARTIAL WIDTH PORCH, UM, AND A BATTERED SKIRT ALSO CLAD IN THAT SAME CLAPBOARD.
AND THEN FINALLY, UM, CRITERION NUMBER 13, BECAUSE OF ITS LOCATION WITHIN THIS NEIGHBORHOOD THAT HAS BEEN IDENTIFIED AS STAFF AS AN ELIGIBLE LOCAL HISTORIC DISTRICTS, THIS BLOCK IN PARTICULAR IS QUITE INTACT.
UM, AND CRAFTSMAN STYLE HOMES JUST LIKE THIS ONE ARE LARGELY THE DOMINANT STYLE HERE.
IF YOU'LL GO ON TO SLIDE FIVE.
UM, SO AS I MENTIONED, BOTH THE HISTORIC AND DESIGN REVIEW COMMISSION AND CITY COUNCIL HAVE FOUND THAT THIS PROPERTY IS ELIGIBLE FOR LANDMARK DESIGNATION AND CITY COUNCIL HAS DIRECTED STAFF TO INITIATE THIS, UM, ZONING CHANGE, WHICH WOULD DESIGNATE A 28 NEVADA AS A LOCAL LANDMARK.
UM, THAT CONCLUDES MY PRESENTATION AND I'M AVAILABLE FOR QUESTIONS.
HAY, UH, STAFF, DO WE HAVE THE OWNER OF THE PROPERTY? YES, HE SHOULD BE ON THE LINE.
HE IS IN THE MIDDLE OF A HURRICANE RIGHT NOW, SO HE SENDS APOLOGIES IF HE GOT DISCONNECTED.
UM, MR. HERRICK, ARE YOU ON THE LINE STILL, SIR? IF YOU ARE, PLEASE PRESS SIX TO SPEAK.
UH, I THINK WE GOT YOU THERE FOR A SECOND.
MR. HERRICK, ARE YOU THERE? MIGHT HAVE TO HIT STAR SIX AGAIN.
YES, I CAN HEAR YOU CLEARLY TOO.
IF YOU WOULD, UH, INTRODUCE YOURSELF AND I BELIEVE YOU OPPOSED THIS DESIGNATION, IF YOU COULD TELL US ABOUT THAT, PLEASE.
UM, BASICALLY I'M A REAL ESTATE INVESTOR WHO'S BEEN INVESTING IN SAN ANTONIO SINCE, UH, 2012.
OUR GOAL WAS TO PROVIDE QUALITY, UH, PROPERTIES FOR THOSE PEOPLE WHO ARE MOVING BACK INTO NEIGHBORHOODS WHERE THEIR PARENTS HAD BEEN.
IN A LOT OF CASES THEIR PARENTS AND FAMILY STILL ARE, THAT ARE MORE CONSISTENT WITH THE LIVING STYLES OF THE 20TH AND THE 21ST CENTURY.
UH, THIS PROPERTY LOOKED, UH, INTERESTING TO US BECAUSE IT'S, UH, BEEN PRETTY HEAVILY DAMAGED BY, UH, PROBLEMS WITH FOUNDATION ROOF AND THE SIDING.
AND IT WAS, UH, OUR OBSERVATION THAT, UH, IT WOULD BE POSSIBLE TO CONVERT IT TO A TWO PROPERTY PREMISES LIKE SEVERAL IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD.
IN FACT, ONE JUST DOWN THE STREET FROM 8 28 WAS CONVERTED, UH, WITHIN IN THE LAST COUPLE YEARS.
SO, UH, OUR GOAL WAS TO PROVIDE QUALITY HOUSING AND UH, BASICALLY AT THE SAME TIME TAKE A PROPERTY THAT IS BEYOND ITS LAST LEGS AND, UH, PROVIDE SOMETHING THAT WOULD BE CONSISTENT WITH WHAT PEOPLE ARE REQUIRING, UH, TO LIVE IN.
AND THAT IS THAT THIS PROPERTY IS A, UH, TWO BED, ONE BATH HOUSE THAT HAS BEEN TOTALLY REORGANIZED, OR I WOULD CALL IT DISORGANIZED ON THE INSIDE, SO THAT, UH, IT'S NOT IN LIV, UH, CONDITION.
THERE'S A GENTLEMAN LIVING THERE.
WHEN WE BOUGHT IT, WE ALLOWED HIM TO STAY THERE UNTIL HE PASSED AWAY.
AND THEN IT WAS OUR GOAL TO CONVERT IT.
ONE OF THE REASONS THAT WE PURCHASED THE PROPERTY WAS IT WAS NOT IN AN HISTORICAL DISTRICT BECAUSE, UH, WE'RE VERY FAMILIAR WITH HISTORICAL DISTRICT TYPE, UH, ZONING REQUIREMENTS, BUILDING REQUIREMENTS,
[01:20:01]
PERMITTING AND SPECIALTIES IN THE AREA OF WINDOWS AND DOORS AND, UH, FASCIAS AND THINGS LIKE THAT, THAT ARE REQUIRED BY THAT DESIGNATION.SO WE DO OPPOSE THE, UH, PROCESS.
WHEN WE DID THE FIRST, UH, MEETING WITH ONE OF THE PLANNING COMMISSIONS, UH, WE LOST BY I THINK, TWO VOTES.
UH, AFTER MAKING OUR CASE, UH, THE CONCERN THAT WE HAD WAS THAT DURING THAT TIME, WE DID BRING UP THE TWO OTHER PROPERTIES IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD THAT HAD BEEN, UH, CHANGED THE TWO, UH, WHAT ARE CALLED SKINNY BUILDINGS.
UH, AND, UH, THE INDIVIDUAL WHO WAS, UH, PRIMARILY CONDUCTING THE MEETING, THOUGH HE WAS NOT THE CHAIR, SAID, WELL, THOSE ARE JUST OTHER PROPERTIES WE'RE NOT INTERESTED.
SO THAT KIND OF MADE US UNCOMFORTABLE IN THE PROCESS THAT WE WERE NOT EVEN BEING ALLOWED TO STATE WHAT, UH, OUR CONCERNS WERE FROM THE STANDPOINT THAT, YOU KNOW, WE BOUGHT THE PROPERTY WITH THE CONCEPT OF CONVERTING IT INTO SOMETHING THAT WOULD BE, UH, THREE OR FOUR BEDROOMS. THAT'D BE TWO OF THEM WITH TWO TO TWO AND A HALF BATHS, WHICH IS BASICALLY THE MARKET IN SAN ANTONIO, UH, AND IS ACTUALLY, UH, THE MARKET IN THE AREA THAT, UH, THIS PROPERTY IS IN.
WE HAVE SEVERAL OTHER PROPERTIES IN THE AREA, AND, UH, WE ARE SCHEDULED TO CONVERT THOSE TO, UH, THREE, THREE BEDROOM, UH, TWO AND A HALF, TWO, TWO AND A HALF BATH PROPERTIES IN THE MORE CONSISTENT, UH, LAYOUT, UH, THAT IS, UH, WHAT IS HOME TODAY.
SO WE, WE, WE, YOU KNOW, WE'RE NOT LOOKING TO CREATE, UH, DIFFICULTIES WITH THE CITY, BUT THIS IS, WAS REFERRED TO A REAL ESTATE WELL, COURSE, LIKE HOLD AS A PRACTICAL TAKING.
WE BOUGHT THE HOUSE TO OPERATE WITHIN THE NORMS OF THAT PARTICULAR NEIGHBORHOOD AREA.
TWO PROPERTIES HAD BEEN CONVERTED, UH, SUBSTANTIALLY THE SAME, UH, ERA.
I'M NOT TOO SURE ABOUT THE COMPANY THAT BUILT THEM, THOUGH.
I DON'T KNOW IF THAT IS A HISTORICAL, UH, ISSUE.
SO OUR, OUR GOAL WAS TO TAKE AND PROVIDE QUALITY HOUSING FOR PEOPLE WHO WANTED TO MOVE BACK IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD.
AND NOW WE ARE, UH, AT LEAST BASED ON THE LAST PHONE CALL THAT I WAS ON FOR 45 MINUTES BEFORE THEY INFORMED ME THAT THE, UH, THE GROUP HAD, UH, UH, THE, UH, ADMINISTRATORS HAD VOTED TO, UH, MOVE IT FORWARD.
AND WE WERE NOT EVEN ALLOWED TO MAKE A PRESENTATION.
SO I'M, I'M A LITTLE PERPLEXED, UH, I WOULD LIKE TO SEE THAT, UH, OUR PROPERTY RIGHTS WOULD BE, UH, RETAINED IN THIS AND WE WOULD BE ABLE TO FINISH THE PROPERTY IN THE WAY THAT'S CUSTOMARY, AT LEAST FOR TWO PROPERTIES.
AND I THINK THAT'S ACTUALLY MORE IN THAT PARTICULAR NEIGHBORHOOD AREA.
SO WE APPRECIATE YOUR REVIEW AND, UH, HOPEFULLY, UH, THE ABILITY TO PROCEED.
UH, PLEASE STAY ON THE LINE IN CASE THERE ARE QUESTIONS FOR COMMISSIONERS LATER ON.
IS THERE ANY PUBLIC COMMENT, MR. CHAIR? WE DON'T HAVE ANY PUBLIC COMMENTS, SO IF DR.
HAY HAS ANY FURTHER COMMENTS, SHE CAN PROCEED.
IF YOU HAVE ANY REBUTTAL, UM, PLEASE DO SO NOW, UH, I WOULD JUST LIKE TO POINT OUT THAT, UM, THE, UM, CASE PASSED THE HISTORIC AND DESIGN REVIEW COMMISSION HEARING WITH THE SUPER MAJORITY THAT IS REQUIRED FOR THIS, UM, TYPE OF REQUEST.
I FAILED TO MENTION THAT IN MY INITIAL PRESENTATION.
HAY, THIS IS A DISTRICT TWO CASE, UH, COMMISSIONER JONES TO YOU? YES.
I HAD A QUESTION FOR EACH, UH, DR.
HAY, ARE THERE ANY, I DIDN'T SEE A AERIAL MAP.
ARE THERE ANY OTHER HISTORIC HOMES IN THAT AREA? YES, MA'AM.
THERE ARE NOT ON THIS IMMEDIATE BLOCK.
UM, THE, UH, AERIAL THAT WAS INCLUDED IS, UH, SORT OF ZOOMED IN.
UM, BUT THERE ARE, UH, LOCATED ON DAKOTA AND ON IOWA.
UM, AND ON, UM, LET'S SEE, UH, CACTUS, I'M SEEING, UM, WITHIN, WITHIN A TWO TO THREE BLOCK RADIUS OF THIS, THERE ARE A NUMBER OF INDIVIDUAL LANDMARKS.
[01:25:02]
OKAY.JUST AT THE, THE, THE MAP I'M LOOKING AT DOESN'T SHOW, DOESN'T SHOW THOSE OTHER STREETS I STAFF.
IS IT POSSIBLE TO GET A ONE-STOP MAP UP THAT MIGHT INDICATE THE HISTORIC LANDMARKS OR OTHER HISTORIC STRUCTURES AREA? AREA? YES, SIR.
WE'RE PULLING IT UP RIGHT NOW.
IF YOU WANNA WAIT FOR THAT, OR IF YOU WANT TO ASK A QUESTION, A FURTHER QUESTION OF DR.
UH, NO, NO FURTHER QUESTIONS FOR DR.
DO, DO YOU HAVE A, UM, UH, ARCHITECTURAL ENGINEER, A ABOUT THE FEASIBILITY OF, YOU KNOW, YOU MENTIONED THE FOUNDATION AND, UH, PROBLEMS LIKE THAT.
UH, THE FOUNDATION ISSUES AND THOSE KINDS OF PROBLEMS ARE, THOSE OBSERVATIONS ARE BASED ON, UH, RENOVATIONS OF 53 LAKE PROPERTIES IN AREAS SIMILAR TO SAN ANTONIO'S EAST SIDE AND SAN ANTONIO'S EAST SIDE.
UH, THE FOUNDATION IS A POST AND PURE FOUNDATION, WHICH HAS BEEN SIGNIFICANTLY, UH, AND HEAVILY DAMAGED.
THE OUTSIDE OF THE BUILDING HAS A LOT OF THOSE PARTICULAR SITING, WHICH, UH, SEEMS TO BE SOMETHING THAT IS OF INTEREST TO THE, UH, THE, UH, HISTORICAL SOCIETY.
BUT I, I'VE NOTICED THAT THERE'S HUNDREDS OF THEM IN THAT PARTICULAR AREA OF SAN ANTONIO.
SO, UH, WE COULD GET A REPORT IF, IF YOU WOULD LIKE ONE.
WE HAD, UH, UH, ACTUALLY HAD A, UM, UH, ARCHITECT LOOK AT THE FEASIBILITY OF, UH, CONVERTING THE PROPERTY INTO THE TWO INDIVIDUAL HOMES MODEL.
AND, UH, HE TOLD US THAT, UH, BASED ON HIS STUDIES THAT, UH, THAT PROPERTY COULD BE CONVERTED THAT WAY.
AND THE TREE THAT IS, I GUESS, OF A PARTICULAR SPECIES THAT, UH, SAN ANTONIO DOESN'T WANT MOVED, WOULD NOT BE IN THE AREA OF THE BUILD.
AND BY THE WAY, I, I AM AN ENGINEER.
SO I RELY ON THAT, THAT TRAINING AND EXPERIENCE FOR THAT OBSERVATION AS WELL AS MY, UH, BUSINESS PARTNER.
UNFORTUNATELY, MOM WAS NOT DOING WELL SPENDING TIME WITH HER TODAY.
UM, WOULD, UH, ALSO MADE THAT OBSERVATION.
AND, UH, JOSE HAS DONE, I THINK I'VE ALWAYS BEEN INVOLVED IN PROBABLY A LOT MORE OF, UH, RENOVATIONS THAN WE HAVE.
BUT I DID, UM, CHECK THE HOUSE OUT CLEARLY.
AND, UH, YOU LOOK AT IT STRICTLY FROM THE OUTSIDE, I THINK IT'S LIKE IN POOR CONDITION.
IF YOU GO INSIDE, UH, THE HOUSE, UH, THERE'S PLACES WHERE THERE'S HOLES IN THE FLOOR.
THE FOUNDATION IS, UH, OFF AS MUCH AS PROBABLY ALMOST TWO INCHES.
UH, VERTICALLY ISSUED GO THROUGH VARIOUS PARTS OF THE ROOMS IN THE HOUSE.
UM, AND, UH, WALLS ARE CRACKED AND CEILINGS ARE CRACKED.
SO IT'S NOT IN THE CONDITION WHERE IF SOME WERE TO SAY, WELL, COULD YOU JUST PUT A FEW THOUSAND DOLLARS INTO THIS AND RETURN IT TO ITS OLD PREVIOUS GLORY? UH, I WOULD SAY THAT THAT WOULD BE, UH, NOT PRACTICAL.
IT WOULD TAKE A HOLE FOR YOUR RUN UP, UH, COMPLETE FOUNDATION REBUILD, AND A NEW ROOF.
AND THEN, UH, SOME OF THE WINDOWS HAVE BEEN CRACKED AND BROKEN, AND BECAUSE OF THE FOUNDATION ISSUE ARE NOT SQUARED.
SO THEY'D HAVE TO BE RESTORED, IF YOU WILL.
AND I, I KNOW THE PEOPLE THAT, UH, ARE INVOLVED IN HISTORICAL SOCIETY KNOW THAT, UM, RENOVATING AND RESTORING A, UH, WINDOW OF THAT PARTICULAR PERIOD IS PROBABLY THREE TO FIVE TIMES AS EXPENSIVE AS A, UH, QUALITY FROM WOLF PAINT WINDOW, WHICH, WHICH WE WOULD, UH, USE IN THE NEW BUILDING.
THERE'S ANYBODY ON THE COUNCIL WOULD LIKE TO GO SEE FOR THEMSELVES.
AND, YOU KNOW, FIRSTHAND WHAT THE, THE, UH, INSIDE OF THE BUILDING, IN THE BACK OF THE BUILDING, UH, ACTUALLY LOOK LIKE.
[01:30:03]
OKAY.UM, I DON'T, I DON'T HAVE ANY FURTHER QUESTIONS, UM, IF MY OTHER CO UH, COMMISSIONERS HAVE ANY QUESTIONS.
UH, COMMISSIONERS QUESTIONS OF, UH, DR.
HAY OR MR. HERRICK? UH, I SEE COMMISSIONER MCGEE.
PROBABLY ASK THIS QUESTION EVERY TIME, BUT PLEASE REFRESH MY MEMORY.
SO, UM, AGAIN, SO IF THIS WERE TO, UM, HAVE THE HISTORIC OVERLAY, SO WHAT THE, THE PRIMARY CONCERN IS WHAT THE FACADE, RIGHT? NOT NECESSARILY, UM, THE INTERNAL, UM, WHAT'S INSIDE, RIGHT? AND, AND ALSO SECOND QUESTION, IF THE WINDOWS ARE NOT AVAILABLE FROM THAT TIME PERIOD, THEY WOULD BE ABLE TO GET, UM, PER, UH, DO THEY HAVE TO GET PERMISSION JUST TO GET SOMETHING THAT'S SIMILAR OR HOW DOES THAT WORK? THANK YOU FOR THOSE QUESTIONS, COMMISSIONER.
UM, SO THE, UM, THE QUESTION REGARDING, UM, THE, THE PURVIEW OVER THE PROPERTY ONCE, UH, IF, IF THE DESIGNATION IS PUT INTO PLACE, UM, YOU ARE CORRECT THAT, UH, IT IS WORK ON THE EXTERIOR OF THE STRUCTURE THAT WOULD REQUIRE APPROVAL BY, UM, EITHER STAFF OF THE O H P OR THE HISTORIC AND DESIGN REVIEW COMMISSION.
UM, UH, THE INTERIOR, ANY WORK ON THE INTERIOR WOULD NOT REQUIRE, UM, OUR REVIEW OR APPROVAL, UM, SPECIFICALLY REGARDING THE WINDOWS.
UM, UH, YES, SO THERE IS, UH, OF COURSE, UM, THE BEST PRACTICE IS TO, UH, REHABILITATE AND USE THE ORIGINAL WINDOWS AS POSSIBLE.
THERE IS, UM, CERTAINLY A PROCESS, AND WE DO DO SEE THESE CASES VERY REGULARLY WHERE THE PROPERTY OWNER COULD REQUEST TO USE A REPLACEMENT WINDOW, AND WE DO HAVE STANDARDS, UM, AVAILABLE FOR THEM TO REVIEW TO SEE WHAT KIND OF PRODUCTS ARE TYPICALLY APPROVABLE, UM, BY THE COMMISSION.
AND, AND, AND CAN YOU REVIEW AGAIN FOR ME THE, UM, UH, AVAILABILITY FOR, UM, SUPPORT FOR PEOPLE WHOSE HOMES HAVE BEEN, UH, DESIGNATED WITH THIS OVERLAY? IS IT LIKE TAX REBATES OR HOW, HOW DOES THAT WORK? THAT'S CORRECT.
SO THERE IS AVAILABLE TO, UM, UH, PROPERTY OWNERS WHO ARE DOING WORK ON DESIGNATED PROPERTIES, UH, WHAT WE CALL THE SUBSTANTIAL REHABILITATION TAX CREDIT.
UM, AND, UH, SHOULD A PROPERTY OWNER INVEST, UH, A, UM, ESSENTIALLY 30% OF THAT IMPROVEMENT VALUE BACK INTO THE PROPERTY TO EXTEND THE LIFE OF THE BUILDING, THEY WOULD BE ELIGIBLE FOR A 10 YEAR TAX CREDIT, UM, UH, ON CITY TAXES.
UM, IF, IF THEY WERE ABLE TO, UM, AGAIN, MEET THAT INVESTMENT THRESHOLD, WHICH, UH, LOOKING AT PROPERTIES LIKE THIS, UM, IT'S PRETTY EASY TO QUALIFY.
SO THIS WOULD BE A VERY GOOD CANDIDATE FOR THAT PROGRAM, IN MY OPINION.
AND AS TO THE ARCHITECTURAL STYLE, UM, THAT, UM, MADE THIS ONE OF THE CRITERIA TO MAKE IT ELIGIBLE, UM, IS IT, IS IT, UM, RARE NOW OR, UM, WHY THIS PARTICULAR STYLE? YEAH, SO K CRAFTSMAN ARCHITECTURE WAS REALLY POPULAR, UM, IN THE UNITED STATES, UH, BEGINNING IN THE EARLY 19 HUNDREDS AND STRETCHING IN SAN ANTONIO THROUGH ABOUT THE 19, UM, TWENTIES.
UM, UH, IN FACT, THE, THIS AREA IN PARTICULAR, UM, IS FULL OF VERY NICE EXAMPLES OF, UH, CRAFTSMAN STYLE HOMES.
THIS IS, UM, UH, ONE THAT HAS, UM, SORT OF INCREDIBLY, UH, RETAINED SOME OF THOSE VERY NICE DESIGN FEATURES THAT YOU CAN SEE, UM, ON THE FRONT FACADE.
UM, UH, AS WELL AS, AGAIN, THE, THE ORIGINAL SIDING.
UM, UH, THERE'S A HISTORIC DISTRICT ACTUALLY NOT TOO FAR FROM THE LOCATION OF THIS PROPERTY THAT, UM, IS, UH, ALMOST EXCLUSIVELY CRAFTSMAN STYLE HOMES.
SO, UH, IT'S IMPORTANT BECAUSE, UH, NOT ONLY OF ITS, UM, SORT OF AESTHETIC FEATURES, BUT IT ALSO REPRESENTS THIS IMPORTANT MOMENT, UM, IN, UH, IN, UM, THE DEVELOPMENT HISTORY OF THE CITY WHERE, UH, THESE, UM, STRUCTURES WERE VERY POPULAR IN, UM, RESIDENTIAL NEIGHBORHOODS THAT WERE BEING DEVELOPED AT THE TIME.
SO DENVER HEIGHTS IS ONE OF THOSE MIGHT HAVE IN COMMON WITH, UM, OTHER NEIGHBORHOODS YOU COULD THINK OF, INCLUDING ALTAVISTA, BEACON HILL, HIGHLAND PARK, UM, HAVE, UH, SHARE SIMILAR DEVELOPMENT HISTORIES, AND SO HAVE, UM, ALSO HAVE GOOD EXAMPLES OF THIS ARCHITECTURAL STYLE.
THANK YOU, COMMISSIONER MCGEE.
UM, QUESTIONS, COMMISSIONERS AND COMMISSIONER MCDANIEL.
[01:35:01]
WITH YOUR CAMERA, SO IF YOU ARE THERE, UM, AND WANNA TALK, PLEASE SPEAK UP.ALRIGHT, I DO HAVE A NUMBER OF QUESTIONS REALLY QUICKLY.
HAY, I THINK YOU MENTIONED, AND CORRECT ME IF I'M WRONG, THAT, UH, YOU WERE LOOKING AT, OR O H P WAS LOOKING AT THIS AREA FOR POSSIBLE DESIGNATION AS A HISTORIC DISTRICT, IS THAT CORRECT? UH, IT'S A, A LITTLE BIT MORE NUANCED THAN THAT, BUT, BUT YES, LARGELY SO.
UM, OUR DEPARTMENT HAS AN ONGOING SURVEY PROGRAM IN ORDER TO IDENTIFY POTENTIALLY SIGNIFICANT RESOURCES.
AND SO WE HAVE SURVEYED THIS AREA AND WE DO KNOW THAT THERE'S A DENSE COLLECTION OF ELIGIBLE RESOURCES THAT WOULD MAKE IT, UM, A, A GOOD, AGAIN, A GOOD CANDIDATE FOR A HISTORIC DISTRICT TO DESIGNATION.
BUT AS FAR AS BEGINNING THAT PROCESS OF DESIGNATION AS A HISTORIC DISTRICT, THAT REALLY HASN'T HAPPENED.
IT'S SORT OF JUST IN THE PRELIMINARY SURVEY STAGE.
UM, QUESTION, NEXT QUESTION IS TO STAFF, UM, YOU KNOW, ONE THING THAT DR.
HAY ADDRESSED AND THE OWNER ADDRESSED WAS THE NEED FOR A SUPER MAJORITY AT THE H D R C, UH, LEVEL OF REVIEW ON THIS.
UH, COULD YOU REMIND US WHAT IS THE STANDARD FOR OUR BODY, UH, FOR THIS TO GO FORWARD TO COUNCIL AS A RECOMMENDATION? WELL, FROM WHAT I UNDERSTAND, IT'S ONE OF THE BODIES NEEDS TO HAVE A SUPER MAJORITY IN ORDER FOR IT TO PROCEED TO CITY COUNCIL FOR CONSIDERATION.
AND SINCE IT SOUNDS LIKE H D R C HAD THE SUPER MAJORITY FOR APPROVAL, UM, IT WILL PROCEED TO CITY COUNCIL REGARDLESS OF THE OUTCOME.
UH, TO THE OWNER, MR. HERRICK.
UM, AND THIS MIGHT REQUIRE SOME FOLLOW UP QUESTIONS, BUT INITIALLY I THINK YOU MENTIONED THAT, THAT YOUR PLAN WAS TO PUT ON TWO HOMES ONTO THIS PROPERTY, IS THAT CORRECT? THAT'S CORRECT.
UH, VERY SIMILAR TO A PROPERTY JUST DOWN THE BLOCK.
THANK YOU, MR. ERIC, UH, TO STAFF, UH, GIVEN THE CONFINES OF THIS PROPERTY, THE AREA OF THIS PROPERTY, IS THAT ALLOWED BY WRIGHT, GIVEN THE CURRENT ZONING? I'M SORRY, CAN YOU REPEAT THAT, MR. CHAIR? UH, IT WENT BY REALLY QUICKLY AND KIND OF CHOPPY.
GIVEN THE INTENTION TO HAVE TWO HOMES ON THIS PROPERTY CURRENTLY ZONED R SIX AND REMAINING R SIX, JUST WITH THE HISTORIC OVERLAY, UH, SHOULD THIS PAST CITY COUNCIL, UH, ARE TWO HOMES ALLOWED AS OF RIGHT? YES, SIR.
UM, I HAVE NO FURTHER QUESTIONS, COMMISSIONERS, ANY FURTHER QUESTIONS? SEEING NONE, UH, COMMISSIONER JONES BACK TO YOU FOR DISCUSSION AND MOTION.
UM, I DON'T HAVE ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION.
UM, THE, WHEN, UH, THE REPRESENTATIVE FROM THE CITY COUNCIL, UH, MENTIONED THIS CASE, UH, APPARENTLY THEY ARE REQUESTING A CONTINUANCE.
I'M NOT SURE IF THAT REPORT WILL HELP THIS CASE OR, OR NOT, BUT, UH, THAT IS, THAT IS GONNA, AT THIS POINT, YOU KNOW, SINCE I HAVE A NEW COMMISSION, I MEAN A CITY COUNCIL PERSON AND ALL THAT IS GONNA BE MY RECOMMENDATION FOR CONTINUANCE SO THAT, UH, HE CAN PRESENT HIS CASE, ESPECIALLY WHEN THERE WAS CONFUSION OVER THE BACK, THE, THE MAJORITY OF THAT KIND OF THING.
UH, THAT IS WHAT I'D LIKE TO REQUEST IS CONTINUANCE.
UM, SO YOU'RE MAKING A MOTION FOR CONTINUANCE TO YES.
WHAT DATE? UH, I GUESS FOUR WEEKS.
UH, THERE IS A MOTION FOR CONTINUANCE BY DR.
UH, THERE IS A MOTION FOR CONTINUANCE ON AUGUST 3RD BY COMMISSIONER JONES WITH A SECOND BY COMMISSIONER HUEY.
UM, AND, UM, ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION, COMMISSIONERS SAVE IT FOR NEXT TIME.
[01:40:02]
THANK YOU, COMMISSIONER WHITETHE MOTION IS FOR CONTINUANCE TO AUGUST 3RD.
MOTION PASSES FOR CONTINUANCE TO AUGUST THE THIRD.
[6. 21-4565 (Continued from 06/15/21) ZONING CASE Z-2021-10700032 (Council District 8): A request for a change in zoning from "C-3 UC-1 MLOD-1 MLR-2" General Commercial IH-10/FM 1604 Urban Corridor Camp Bullis Military Lighting Overlay Military Lighting Region 2 District and "C-3 MLOD-1 MLR-2" General Commercial Camp Bullis Military Lighting Overlay Military Lighting Region 2 District and “C-3R UC-1 MLOD-1 MLR-2" General Commercial Restrictive Alcoholic Sales IH-10/FM 1604 Urban Corridor Camp Bullis Military Lighting Overlay Military Lighting Region 2 District and “C-3R MLOD-1 MLR-2" General Commercial Restrictive Alcoholic Sales Camp Bullis Military Lighting Overlay Military Lighting Region 2 District to "MF-25 UC-1 MLOD-1 MLR-2" Low Density Multi-Family IH-10/FM 1604 Urban Corridor Camp Bullis Military Lighting Overlay Military Lighting Region 2 and "MF-25 MLOD-1 MLR-2" Low Density Multi-Family Camp Bullis Military Lighting Overlay Military Lighting Region 2 District on 17.767 acres out of NCB 14857, generally located in the 12500 Block of West Interstate 10. Staff recommends Approval. (Lorianne Thennes, Senior Planner, (210) 207-7945, lorianne.thennes@sanantonio.gov, Development Services Department) ]
IF WE COULD MOVE ON TO ITEM NUMBER SIX.UH, WE CAN, WE CAN HEAR THAT SONG AND DANCE AGAIN.
ITEM NUMBER SIX IS A REQUEST TO REZONE FROM C THREE UC, ONE C THREE C THREE R, UC ONE AND C THREE R TO MF 25, UC ONE AND MF 25.
ALL OTHER OVERLAYS REMAINING THE SAME, GENERALLY LOCATED IN THE 12,500 BLOCK OF WEST IH.
10 62 NOTICES WERE MAILED, ONE WAS RECEIVED IN FAVOR, FIVE WERE RECEIVED IN OPPOSITION, AND THERE WAS NO RESPONSE FROM HUNTINGTON PLACE NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATION.
THE CURRENT C THREE ZONING IS APPROPRIATE FOR THE PROPERTY AND SURROUNDING AREA.
THE PROPOSED MF 25 IS ALSO AN APPROPRIATE ZONING FOR THE SURROUNDING AREA WITH GOOD VEHICULAR ACCESS AND PROXIMITY TO RETAIL AND EMPLOYMENT.
THE PROPOSED MF 25 ZONING IS CONSISTENT WITH THE EXISTING MF 33 IN THE AREA.
STAFF RECOMMENDS APPROVAL AND WE DO HAVE A VOICEMAIL AND A LIVE CALLER.
I BELIEVE WE'LL PLAY THE VOICEMAIL FIRST.
UM, I WOULD LIKE TO HEAR FROM THE APPLICANT FIRST IF WE COULD.
THIS IS COMMISSIONER GREATHOUSE POINT OF ORDER.
I'M, IT IS A, A RECUSAL, I'M SORRY.
UH, THIS GOT MOVED FROM THE RECUSAL, UH, LET THE RECORD REFLECT THAT THE TIME IS 2 41 COMMISSIONER GREATHOUSE ON AND HAS TURNED OFF HER CAMERA AND IS NO LONGER PARTICIPATING IN THIS MEETING.
COMMISSIONER GREATHOUSE, BECAUSE OF THE MOVEMENT OF THIS ITEM.
I FORGOT TO STATE THAT FOR THE RECORD, BUT COMMISSIONER GREATHOUSE IS NOT PARTICIPATING IN THE CONSIDERATION OF ITEM NUMBER SIX.
UH, IF WE COULD HEAR FROM THE APPLICANT, PLEASE.
YES, WE HAD A, WE HAD A CALLER ON THE LINE, BUT, UH, I THINK IT DROPPED.
WE'RE TRYING TO GET 'EM CONNECTED.
YES, WE, YEAH, HE, KEVIN ANDA, ARE YOU ON THE LINE, SIR? THIS IS DANIEL ORTIZ.
UH, YOU'RE ADDRESSING THE ZONING COMMISSION.
UH, GOOD AFTERNOON COMMISSIONERS.
THIS IS DANIEL ORTIZ WITH BROWN ORTIZ.
UM, UH, I HAVE NICK WALSH WITH N R P, THAT PROPOSED END USER AND APPLICANT HERE AS WELL.
I HAVE A BRIEF PRESENTATION THAT, UH, WE'D LIKE TO WALK THROUGH, UH, REGARDING THE ZONING CASE THAT COULD, UH, GET PULLED UP BY CITY STAFF.
AND I'LL GO AHEAD AND START, UM, HERE TO, TO SAVE A LITTLE BIT OF TIME.
UH, FIRST SLIDE, UH, THAT HOPEFULLY WILL COME UP MOMENTARILY, IS AN OVERVIEW OF THE EXISTING CIRCUMSTANCES OF THE PROPERTY.
IT'S ABOUT 17 ACRES, UM, OVERALL, UH, FRONTS ON I I 10 WEST, WHICH IS, UH, THAT HIGHWAY RUNNING ESSENTIALLY ALONG THE LEFT OF THE SCREEN, THE LEFT OF THE PROPERTY THERE.
UH, GENERALLY THE PROPERTY IS IN BETWEEN THE MAJOR INTERSECTION OF I 10 AND DAYS OF OLIVE, WHICH IS TO THE NORTH, OFF THE SCREEN TO THE TOP, UH, AND, UH, EBNER, WHICH IS OFF THE SCREEN, UH, TO THE BOTTOM THERE TO THE SOUTH.
UH, PRACTICALLY SPEAKING, A CLOSER INTERSECTION IS I 10 AND WOODSTONE.
UM, YOU CAN SEE, HOWEVER, PERHAPS
[01:45:01]
MORE IMPORTANTLY THAT, UH, OBVIOUSLY BECAUSE WE DO FRONT ON A HIGHWAY THAT, UH, WE ARE, UH, SURROUNDED BY EXISTING COMMERCIAL USES, UH, SURROUNDING OUR PROPERTY THERE, UH, TOWARD THE, THE HIGHWAY IS A, IS A LARGE FURNITURE, FURNITURE STORE AND A GYM, AND THEN IMMEDIATELY TO THE NORTH, A LARGE SHOPPING CENTER TO INCLUDE ANOTHER FURNITURE STORE, A MARSHALL'S, AND AN H E B.AND THEN OF COURSE, UM, UH, WHICH IS NOT ATYPICAL OF OTHER HIGHWAYS.
YOU HAVE YOUR COMMERCIAL COMMERCIAL PADS, UH, RESTAURANTS, ET CETERA, RUNNING ALONG THE FRONTAGE.
WE DO HAVE EXISTING SINGLE FAMILY, WHICH I'LL TOUCH ON HERE, UH, IN A SECOND, UH, IN MORE DETAIL, UH, IMMEDIATELY BEHIND US.
THEN MOVING ON TO THE NEXT SLIDE.
THAT IS JUST BRIEFLY THE EXISTING ZONING, WHICH IS CONSISTENT WITH EVERYTHING I JUST DESCRIBED.
YOU SEE, THE RED ESSENTIALLY IS ALL THE COMMERCIAL USES C THREE.
UM, INCIDENTALLY I'LL POINT OUT A COUPLE OF THINGS THAT ARE, NOTE WHERE THE IMMEDIATELY SOUTH, YOU'LL SEE R FOUR ZONING THERE.
UM, BUT THAT IN, IN REALITY IS ACTUALLY A SCHOOL FOR THE NORTH SIDE INDEPENDENT SCHOOL DISTRICT.
SO IT'S NOT SINGLE FAMILY IN PRACTICE.
AND THEN ESSENTIALLY TO THE BOTTOM RIGHT HAND, UH, OF THE SCREEN THERE, YOU CAN SEE EXISTING MF 33 ZONING AND USE, UH, A BUDDING THE SINGLE FAMILY, UH, R FOUR.
UH, SO MF 33 OR MF PERIOD, UH, ADJACENT TO SINGLE FAMILY IS OBVIOUSLY NOT, UH, NOT UNCOMMON.
SIMPLY TO, TO HIGHLIGHT WHAT STAFF DOES VERY WELL IN ITS PRESENT IN ITS SUMMARY, WHICH IS THAT, UH, THE REQUESTED REZONING MF 25 IS CONSISTENT WITH THE ALREADY EXISTING DESIGNATION IN THE NORTH SECTOR PLAN REGIONAL CENTER.
UH, AND IN PARTICULAR, WHAT I'D LIKE TO JUST SIMPLY POINT OUT STAFF, AGAIN, LISTS THE THE GOALS FROM THE NORTH SECTOR PLAN, BUT ONE IN PARTICULAR, UM, DISCUSSES THE, THE, UH, THE GOAL OF ESTABLISHING HIGH DENSITY ZONING AND IN PARTICULAR USING HIGH DENSITY RESIDENTIAL AS A BUFFER BETWEEN PRINCIPAL AND ARTERIAL ROADWAYS.
NON-RESIDENTIAL USES, I E COMMERCIAL USES AND LOWER DENSITY RESIDENTIAL HOUSING.
UM, SO IF YOU GO ONTO THE NEXT SLIDE, UM, YOU'LL SEE I THINK THAT THAT IS EXACTLY WHAT THIS, UH, PROPOSED MF 25 WOULD BE DOING, WHICH WOULD PROVIDE THAT TRANSITION OF ZONING FROM THE HIGHWAY TO THE EXISTING C THREE C TWO TO THE PROPOSED MF 25 TO THEN THE SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL FURTHER AWAY, UH, FROM, UH, FROM THE HIGHWAY.
UM, I THINK WE ALL READ IT PRETTY MUCH EVERY DAY IN THE PAPER THAT OUR POPULATION IS GROWING, UH, AND THERE IS A NEED FOR HOUSING AND IN PARTICULAR, UH, AFFORDABLE HOUSING.
N R P IS A PROVEN, UH, WELL-RESPECTED MULTIFAMILY BUILDER, AS YOU ALL PROBABLY ALREADY KNOW.
UH, ULTIMATELY IN PRACTICE, THE MF 25 REZONING REQUEST WOULD BE TO ALLOW FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF 60 UNITS ON ONLY FIVE PLUS OR MINUS ACRES OF THE OVERALL 17 ACRES.
WHAT WE HAVE AGREED TO IN PRINCIPLE, UH, WITH THE ADJACENT SINGLE FAMILY HUNTING HUNTINGTON PLACE NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATION, IS TO LEAVE ROUGHLY, UH, 12 AND A HALF ACRES UNTOUCHED IN ITS NATURAL STATE, WHICH WOULD BE THE 12 AND A HALF ACRES CLOSEST TO THE EXISTING SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL, THEREBY CREATING A BUFFER BETWEEN THE RESIDENTIAL AND THE PROPOSED 60 UNITS OF AT LEAST 450 FEET.
UH, WE'RE ALSO IN THE PROCESS OF, UH, FINALIZING RESTRICTIVE COVENANTS WITH THAT H O A, WHICH I WANT TO MENTION BRIEFLY ONLY, UH, BECAUSE THERE ARE SOME ITEMS THAT LOCK IN THE LAND USE ASPECTS LIKE BUILDING HEIGHTS, EXTERIOR LIGHTING, UH, AND SO ON AND SO FORTH.
UH, BUT ULTIMATELY THE 60 UNITS ON FIVE ACRES FURTHEST AWAY FROM THE RESIDENTIAL SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL CLOSEST TO THE HIGHWAY, UH, IS THE CORE OF THE ISSUE.
THEN OF COURSE, THE COVENANTS GO ON TO, UH, MANY OTHER NON LAND USE ISSUES LIKE PETS AND RESIDENTS AND, AND THINGS LIKE THAT.
SO, UH, WE BELIEVE THIS MEETS, UH, A PRETTY STRAIGHTFORWARD LAND USE ZONING REQUESTS.
IT'S CONSISTENT WITH THE NORTH SECTOR PLAN, AND WE THINK WE CAN FINISH, WE'RE CONFIDENT WE CAN FINISH THE DETAILS OF THE COVENANTS BETWEEN ZONING COMMISSION AND CITY COUNCIL, WHICH IS NOT FOR, UH, FOR THOSE REASONS.
WE'D RESPECTFULLY ASK FOR YOUR REQUEST OF THIS REZONING REQUEST.
AGAIN, I HAVE NICK WALSH WITH N R P, UH, IF THERE ARE ANY QUESTIONS.
ALRIGHT, THANK YOU MR. ORTIZ STAFF, UH, IF WE COULD GET THE VOICEMAIL AND THEN
[01:50:01]
THE LIVE CALLER PLEASE.I'M A RESIDENT OF THE HUNTINGTON PLACE SUBDIVISION AT 1902 INDIAN MEADOWS.
I'M CALLING TO EXPRESS MY OPPOSITION TO THE ZONING REQUEST REGARDING CASE V 2 21 DASH 0 7 0 0 0 3 2.
MY OBJECTION IS BASED ON THE FACT THAT WE DO NOT YET HAVE ANY COVENANTS IN PLACE BETWEEN DEVELOPER AND MY, UH, HOMEOWNERS ASSOCIATION.
AND ALSO BECAUSE AS I UNDERSTAND IT, THE N R P FUNDS FOR THIS PROJECT ON WHICH THE, UH, ON WHICH THE DEVELOPER IS BASING ITS APPROVAL HAS NOT BEEN APPROVED.
ALL RIGHT, MS. CHO, MARILYN CHO, ARE YOU ON THE LINE, MA'AM? IF YOU ARE, PLEASE PLAY PRESS SIX AND YOU WILL BE ADDRESSING THE ZONING COMMISSION, CITY OF SAN ANTONIO.
HI, UH, THANK YOU FOR CALLING ME TODAY.
PLEASE INTRODUCE YOURSELF AND, UH, TELL US WHAT YOU WANT.
I LIVE AT 1 4 4 0 7 CEDAR GLAD DRIVE, AND I AM THE PRESIDENT OF THE HUNTINGTON PLACE HOMEOWNERS ASSOCIATION.
UM, IT'S REAL IMPORTANT THAT IT, IT'S CLEAR THAT WELL-WRITTEN COVENANTS ARE KEY WHEN AGREEING TO ZONING CHANGES.
IN THIS PARTICULAR CASE, THEY WILL SET LONG-TERM EXPECTATIONS FOR THE COMPLEX NO MATTER WHO OWNS THE PROPERTY.
THEY ARE OF THE UTMOST IMPORTANCE, NOT ONLY FOR OUR NEIGHBORHOOD, BUT FOR OUR ENTIRE SURROUNDING COMMUNITY.
HUNTINGTON PLACE HAS NOT BEEN ALLOWED ENOUGH TIME TO WORK OUT AND AGREE ON COVENANTS.
WE WANT SOLID, CLEAR STANDARD STANDARDS SET IN PLACE THAT WORK IN THE BEST INTEREST OF OUR ENTIRE COMMUNITY FOR THE LONG HAUL.
THEREFORE, REGARDLESS OF WHOM IS MAKING THE REQUEST, WE ARE NOT ABLE TO SUPPORT THE ZONING CHANGE REQUEST AT THIS TIME.
WE ARE HOWEVER, HOPEFUL THAT WE CAN COME TO A MUTUAL AGREEMENT IN THE NEAR FUTURE WITH N R P.
THEY HAVE NOT YET BEEN APPROVED, UH, FOR THE FINANCING, AND WE WANNA MAKE SURE COVENANTS ARE IN PLACE SINCE THE ZONING RUNS WITH THE PROPERTY.
SO WE ARE ASKING THAT THE REQUEST BE POSTPONED UNTIL THE COVENANTS CAN BE COMPLETED.
IF YOU WOULD HOLD ON THE LINE IN CASE THERE ARE ANY QUESTIONS FROM COMMISSIONERS.
ALRIGHT, COMMISSIONERS, ANY QUESTIONS FOR MS. CHOATE? SEEING NONE, MS. CHOATE, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR TIME TODAY AND YOUR COMMENTS.
UH, LEMME CHECK ONE THING FIRST STAFF, ARE THERE ANY OTHER PUBLIC COMMENTS? NO, SIR.
UH, IF YOU'D LIKE A SHORT REBUTTAL, UH, UH, THANK YOU MR. CHAIR.
UM, TO ADDRESS THE TWO THINGS THAT THE, THE VOICEMAIL AND THEN, UM, THE H O A PRESIDENT ADDRESSED FIRST THE STATUS OF THE COVENANTS.
WE AGREE THAT WE'RE IN THE PROCESS OF, OF NEGOTIATING THEM BACK AND FORTH, BUT I THINK THE POINT THAT, THAT I'D LIKE TO EMPHASIZE FOR PURPOSES OF ZONING REVIEW TODAY IS THAT THE CORE OF THE REQUEST MF 25, UH, AND ITS CONSISTENCY WITH THE PLAN AND ITS CONSISTENT CONSISTENCY WITH THE EXISTING CIRCUMSTANCES OF ZONING SURROUNDING US WILL NOT CHANGE REGARDLESS OF WHAT THE FINAL DETAILS OF THAT, OF THOSE COVENANTS ARE.
AND IN PARTICULAR, UM, THAT THE COMMITMENT TO LIMIT THE TOTAL NUMBER OF UNITS TO A TOTAL OF 60 ON FIVE PLUS OR MINUS FIVE ACRES FURTHEST AWAY FROM THE RESIDENTIAL AREA, THAT THAT PART IS ALREADY SOLIDIFIED AND THE COVENANTS WILL NOT CHANGE.
AND SO WHAT WE'RE WORKING ON BETWEEN, UH, NOW AND ULTIMATELY WHEN THIS CASE GOES TO CITY COUNCIL OR ITEMS THAT PROBABLY WOULDN'T IMPACT, OR PERHAPS MORE FRANKLY I SHOULD SAY, SHOULDN'T IMPACT THE ANALYSIS OF THE ZONING COMMISSIONS SUCH AS, UH, BUILDING MATERIALS, FENCING MATERIALS, NUMBER OF RESIDENTS PER ROOM, UH, NUMBER OF PETS PER UNIT, UH, AND THINGS OF THAT NATURE.
[01:55:01]
UM, FROM A LAND USE PERSPECTIVE, WE THINK THIS IS, UM, UH, SUFFICIENTLY DEFINED, UM, TO, UH, RECEIVE SUPPORT AT LEAST AT THIS STAGE IN THE PROCESS.AND THEN SECOND, WITH RESPECT TO FINANCING, I THINK THAT GENERALLY ALSO FALLS WITH UNDER THE, NOT, NOT NECESSARILY A LAND USE PERSPECTIVE, BUT I'LL SAY THAT FOR NOW.
I DO HAVE NICK AGAIN, NICK WALSH WITH N R P.
IF THE COMMISSION WOULD LIKE TO BROACH THAT TOPIC, UH, PERHAPS BRIEFLY, THEN CERTAINLY, UH, MR. WALSH COULD ADDRESS THE FINANCING, UH, STATUS IN MORE DETAIL.
THIS IS A DISTRICT EIGHT CASE, UH, COMMISSIONER.
I JUST HAVE A COUPLE OF QUESTIONS.
UM, FIRST FOR DANIEL, UM, I I, I DO APPRECIATE THE, THE LOW DENSITY HERE, BUT, UM, I MEAN THAT'S NOT JUST BECAUSE OF THE AGREEMENT WITH THE NEIGHBORS, RIGHT? THAT THERE, THERE ARE SOME CHALLENGES TO THIS PIECE OF PROPERTY, IS THAT CORRECT? FOR, FOR WHATEVER SOMEBODY WOULD DEVELOP ON IT? YES.
THERE ARE SOME CHALLENGES ON THE, ON THE REAR OF THE PROPERTY.
UM, BUT, AND, AND TO ELABORATE ON THAT, I'LL, I'LL TURN OVER IT TO, UH, TO NICK.
UH, GOOD AFTERNOON, COMMISSIONER, THIS IS NICK WALSH WITH THE N R P GROUP 200 CONCORD PLAZA.
UM, YES, YOU KNOW, THE MAIN REASON FOR WHY WE ARE LIMITING THE NUMBER OF UNITS IS A COUPLE THINGS.
UH, THIS IS THE SECOND TIME WE'VE PROPOSED, UH, THIS DEVELOPMENT.
UH, WE'VE ACTUALLY DECREASED THE NUMBER OF UNITS THIS TIME AROUND IN ORDER TO ACTUALLY HELP APPEASE THE NEIGHBORHOOD.
UH, WE'RE GONNA HAVE ONE LESS BUILDING AND WE'RE GOING TO BE FURTHER AWAY.
AND SO A LOT OF IT HAS TO DO WITH THE AFFORDABLE HOUSING THAT WE'RE PROPOSING AND WE CAN ONLY GET SO MANY, UH, HOUSING CREDITS HERE.
UH, BUT, SO THAT'S THE MAIN DRIVER FOR IT.
BUT AGAIN, UH, THIS TIME AROUND WE WANTED TO GO LESS UNITS, ONE LESS BUILDING AND BE FURTHER AWAY FROM THE NEIGHBORHOOD.
AND THEN, JUST REAL BRIEFLY, BECAUSE I, I DON'T WANNA GET INTO A WHOLE LONG EXPLANATION ABOUT TAX CREDIT FINANCING, BUT CAN YOU JUST CLARIFY THIS FOR US, IN THE PROCESS OF YOU, UH, APPLYING FOR, FOR THE TAX CREDIT FINANCING, DO YOU NEED TO HAVE THE ZONING IN PLACE FIRST? SO THE PLAN, UH, COMMISSIONER IS WE WILL BE, WE ARE ON THE AWARD LIST AND THIS MONTH WE WILL GO BEFORE THE TEXAS DEPARTMENT OF HOUSING AND COMMUNITY AFFAIRS.
AND THEY'VE ALREADY GIVEN US THE DETERMINATION AND THE FINAL OFFICIAL VOTE COMES THIS MONTH WHERE THEY WILL GRANT US $15 MILLION AND 9% HOUSING TAX CREDITS, WHICH WE WILL THEN USE TO BUILD THIS AFFORDABLE HOUSING.
SO WE DO, THAT WILL BE FINALIZED PRIOR TO GOING TO CITY COUNCIL, WHICH TAKES PLACE MID AUGUST.
SO THAT IS ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT ITEMS THAT WE NEED, UH, TO ACTUALLY START THE PROCESS WITH THE STATE TO ACTUALLY BEGIN CONSTRUCTION, UH, BEFORE THE END OF THIS YEAR OR EARLY NEXT YEAR.
SO LET ME JUST MAKE SURE I'M UNDERSTANDING THIS.
YOU, YOU WILL NOT GET FINAL APPROVAL FROM THE STATE UNTIL COUNCIL APPROVES THE ZONING CHANGE.
IS THAT CORRECT? YEAH, THAT IS CORRECT, MM-HMM.
AND THEN, UH, JUST A QUICK QUESTION FOR STAFF WHERE IT SAYS, LEMME MAKE SURE I'M ON THE RIGHT CASE HERE.
UM, BUT THERE IS NO, UH, VISA OR VIA, SORRY.
VIA, UH, BUS ROUTE WITHIN WALKING DISTANCE, THAT SEEMS WRONG.
GIVEN WHERE THIS IS ARE IS THAT ABSOLUTELY CERTAIN, UM, MICHAEL IS TELLING US THAT HE BELIEVES THAT THE 97 RUNS THROUGH THERE.
COMMISSIONER, I'M VERY COMMISSIONER.
THERE IS A BUS ROUTE THAT YOU CAN WALK TO.
I WOULD ALSO ADD, COMMISSIONER, THAT THIS IS ON VIAS PLANNED ADVANCED RAPID TRANSIT NETWORK.
UH, SO WHILE IT'S NOT CURRENTLY IN PLACE IN THE FUTURE, WE'RE HOPING VERY, VERY NEAR IN THE FUTURE, UH, WE WILL BE ON THAT NETWORK THAT WILL BE RAPID TRANSIT FROM DOWNTOWN ALL THE WAY UP TO 1604.
THANK YOU, COMMISSIONER ROME, UH, COMMISSIONERS, ANY FURTHER QUESTIONS? AND COMMISSIONER MCDANIEL, IF, UH, YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS? UH, I'M STILL NOT GETTING YOUR CAMERA, SO YOU MIGHT HAVE TO JUST PIPE UP.
UH, COMMISSIONER, SO I JUST BEEN FOLLOWING ON.
MY COLLEAGUE WANTED TO ASK A QUESTION OF THE APPLICANT.
SO WHEN YOU SAY YOU'RE ON THE AWARD LIST, UM, AND HAVING A LITTLE FAMILIARITY WITH THAT, ARE, ARE YOU, UH, TELLING US THAT YOU ARE AUTOMATICALLY APPROVED? UH, YOU'RE JUST WAITING FOR THE, FOR THE FORMAL VOTE
[02:00:01]
OF THAT COMMISSION? FOR THE AWARD? YES.SO WE HAVE CLEARED THE UNDERWRITING MM-HMM.
UM, BUT THAT, THAT WILL BE CONDITIONED, OF COURSE, ON A NUMBER OF ITEMS SUCH AS OUR FINAL ZONING APPROVAL FROM THE CITY OF SAN ANTONIO.
SO I, AND I UNDERSTAND THAT, AND I, AND I KNOW WE'RE REALLY KIND OF LOOKING HERE AT A LAND USE AND WE'RE, WE GET OUT INTO THE WEEDED WITH SOME OF THIS DISCUSSION, BUT MY CONCERN IS THE DENSITY.
AND IF YOU DON'T GET YOUR ACTUAL APPROVAL FOR THIS, WHAT WILL HAPPEN? WILL N R P THEN LOOK TO RESELL THIS PROPERTY? UM, BECAUSE MY CONCERN IS IT'LL BE SOLD TO SOMEONE ELSE AND WE'LL BE BACK WITH 400 UNITS.
SO IT, WHAT WILL HAPPEN IS IF WE, IF WHEN WE GET OUR AWARD, IF WE DO NOT RECEIVE ZONING, UH, IN AUGUST, WE WILL, WE ACTUALLY HAVE THIS UNDER A PURCHASE CONTRACT.
UH, WE WILL TERMINATE THE ZONING PRIOR, UH, TO GOING TO CITY COUNCIL AND WE WILL TERMINATE OUR PURCHASE CONTRACT ON THIS PROPERTY.
IT WILL REMAIN IN ITS CURRENT ZONING.
AND SO THAT'S ACTUALLY THE SAME SITUATION THAT TOOK PLACE LAST YEAR.
UH, WHEN WE DID NOT WIN THE AWARD, UH, WE DID TERMINATE THE ZONING CASE AND IT REMAINED AS IS.
AND THAT'S A CONDITION THAT THE SELLER HAS REQUIRED AS WELL.
AND THEN, UM, I'M, I'M JUST CONCERNED HOW KNOWING EVERYTHING IS BASED ON THE NUMBERS AND TALKING ABOUT ACQUISITION PRICE FOR THIS PROPERTY AND THAT YOU'RE ONLY BUILDING 60 UNITS.
I MEAN, I I I'M HAVING A HARD TIME UNDERSTANDING THE JUSTIFICATION THAT THAT IS GONNA BE A SUCCESSFUL PROPERTY, UH, NOT THAT 60 UNITS WON'T BE RENTED, BUT THAT ONLY 60 UNITS ARE GONNA BE RENTED.
AND IT MUST BE THE TAX CREDITS THAT ARE GONNA BE WHAT MAKES THIS, I GUESS, A SUCCESSFUL VENTURE.
SO THE WAY THAT THE TAX CREDIT PROGRAM TYPICALLY WORKS IN THIS SITUATION, UM, IT IS 9% OR COMPETITIVE TAX CREDITS.
AND THE AVERAGE SIZE OF THESE DEALS ACROSS THE STATE, UM, ARE ANYWHERE FROM 50 TO, I'D SAY PROBABLY 80 UNITS MAX.
UH, AND THAT IS TYPICAL ACROSS THE STATE OF TEXAS AND THE AVERAGE METROPOLITAN AREA.
SO THIS IS A VERY TYPICAL TRANSACTION, UH, AGAIN, AFFORDABLE HOUSING AND DEEPLY TARGETED AFFORDABLE HOUSING.
UM, AND WE'RE VERY IN LINE, UH, WITH ALL OF THE DEVELOPMENTS IN THE STATE OF TEXAS THAT ARE USING THE SAME TYPE OF FINANCING.
AND THEN JUST QUICKLY, CAN, CAN YOU GIVE US A BREAKDOWN OF WHAT YOUR MEDIAN INCOME IS, HOW MANY UNITS SO THAT WE CAN UNDERSTAND, AND ANYONE THAT'S LISTENING CAN UNDERSTAND WHAT THAT MEANS? YES, ABSOLUTELY.
SO 100% OF OUR UNITS, SO ALL 60 OF THEM WILL BE AFFORDABLE UNITS.
SO WHAT THAT MEANS IS THAT THEY WILL HAVE INCOME AND RENT RESTRICTIONS FOR RESIDENTS.
SO ABOUT 50% ARE GOING TO BE, UH, YOU KNOW, INCOME RESTRICTED UP TO 60% OF THE AREA MEDIAN INCOME.
ANOTHER 40% ARE GOING TO BE RESTRICTED UP TO 50% OF THE AREA MEDIAN INCOME.
AND THEN THE REMAINING 10% OR SO WILL BE RESTRICTED FOR PE PEOPLE MAKING UP TO 30% OF THE AREA MEDIAN INCOME.
AND SO FOR A REFERENCE, THE MEDIAN INCOME IN SAN ANTONIO AND BEXAR COUNTY FOR A FAMILY OF FOUR IS $74,000.
UM, THAT'S ALL THE QUESTIONS I HAVE.
THANK YOU, COMMISSIONER MCDANIEL.
UM, ANY FURTHER QUESTIONS? COMMISSIONERS? SEEING NONE, UH, COMMISSIONER DR.
ROMERO BACK TO YOU FOR DISCUSSION AND MOTION.
UM, I THINK THIS PROJECT MAKES A LOT OF SENSE AND I SUPPORT IT.
UM, I THINK MULTIFAMILY, I'M REALLY JUST GONNA LOOK AT THE MF 25 HERE.
IT'S, IT'S A REDUCTION IN TRAFFIC.
AND THEN THE FACT THAT IT'S COMING IN THROUGH THIS PARTICULAR PROJECT MEANS THAT THERE'S A LOT LESS DENSITY THAN WE COULD HOPE FOR.
AND I MEAN, BASED ON EVERYTHING THAT THE STAFF SAID, WE MIGHT ACTUALLY WANT MORE DENSITY IN THIS AREA.
BUT AGAIN, I, I DON'T THINK THE LAND WOULD ALLOW THAT.
SO THAT JUST, THAT JUST IS WHAT IT IS.
UM, AND, AND WE GET AFFORDABLE HOUSING HERE.
UM, THE FACT THAT THE COVENANTS ARE NOT IN PLACE, I'M JUST NOT GOING TO CONSIDER THAT 'CAUSE THAT'S NOT SOMETHING WE CONSIDER AT ZONING COMMISSION.
BUT I DO THINK THERE ARE SOME DEMANDS MADE IN THE COVENANTS THAT ARE, ARE NOT FEASIBLE.
UM, BUT I DO THINK IT'S A GOOD PROJECT.
SO I'M GOING TO, UH, MAKE A MOTION TO RECOMMEND APPROVAL FOR ITEM NUMBER SIX.
I THINK I HEARD COMMISSIONER BARROS, BUT I THINK I HEARD COMMISSIONER MCGEE FIRST.
UM, SO THERE'S A MOTION FOR APPROVAL OF ITEM NUMBER SIX WITH BY COMMISSIONER DR.
O'NEAL, UH, WITH A SECOND BY COMMISSIONER MCGEE.
