1 0 7 0 1 2 0 AT SEVEN 11 MONTANA.
PROPOSED CHANGE FROM AE DASH TWO A H O D TO I D Z DASH TWO A H O D.
MEDIUM INTENSITY INFILL IS CONTRARY TO THE FA TOMORROW COMPREHENSIVE PLAN.
NEIGHBORHOOD PROFILE AND PRIORITIES FOR DENVER HEIGHTS DRAFTED AFTER THREE YEARS OF COMMUNITY WORK.
THE DRAFT RECOMMENDS, QUOTE, ADJUSTING THE ZONING MAP FOR U D C CHAPTER 35 TO SUPPORT DEVELOPMENT THAT MORE CLOSELY
[00:20:01]
REFLECT DESIRABLE ASPECTS OF HISTORIC DEVELOPMENT PATTERNS.FURTHER THE PLAN CALLS TO QUOTE, CONSIDER REZONING SOME AREAS TO A ZONE THAT PERMITS SLIGHTLY LESS DENSITY, BUT STILL ALLOWS DIVERSE INFILL HOUSING WITH SMALL SCALE, MULTI MULTI-FAMILY HOUSING AND ADAPTIVE REUSE OF EXISTING BUILDINGS TO INCLUDE MORE DWELLINGS SUCH AS RM FIVE END QUOTE.
AS THE DRAFT PLAN WARNS AND AS WE'VE RECENTLY SEEN, ALLOWING HIGHER DENSITY INCENTIVIZED INCENTIVIZES DEMOLITIONS IN OUR NEIGHBORHOOD, GRANTING THIS REQUEST IS CONTRARY TO DESIRABLE ASPECTS OF HISTORIC DEVELOPMENT PATTERNS.
THE ESSAY TOMORROW COMPREHENSIVE PLAN DRAFT CALLS FOR WHICH INCLUDES LESS DENSITY, DIVERSE INFILL HOUSING, ADAPTIVE REUSE OF EXISTING BUILDINGS, PROPER SETBACKS AND FRONT DOORS AND WINDOWS ORIENTED TOWARDS STREET.
LASTLY, RENTING THIS REQUEST WILL CONTINUE TO INCREASE THE PROPERTY TAX ASSESSMENTS RAPIDLY COMPARED TO MANY OF THE RESIDENT'S ABILITY TO PAY, THUS MAKING IT IMPOSSIBLE FOR MANY HOMEOWNERS WHO HAVE LIVED HERE FOR GENERATIONS TO REMAIN IN THEIR HOME.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION OF MY COMMENTS OPPOSING THIS REQUEST.
I LIVE AT 1123 WYOMING STREET.
MY PHONE NUMBER IS (830) 313-3950.
I AM IN CALLING IN REGARDS 2 7 11 MONTANA.
UH, IT IS CASE TWO DASH 2 0 2 2 DASH 1 0 7 0 0 1 2 0 AND I AM EMINENTLY OPPOSED TO THE REZONING.
UM, AFTER LOOKING AT THE SITE PLAN, THE DEVELOPMENT THAT THE, THAT THE DEVELOPER IS PROPOSING IS COMPLETELY OUT OF SYNC WITH THE REST OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD.
UM, I AND I QUESTION THE DESIRE TO BUILD SOMETHING NEXT TO A BODY SHOP OR A PAINT SHOP WITH ALL THE CHEMICALS THAT THEY USE.
UM, I WOULD HATE TO SEE THIS PARTICULAR LOT REZONED BECAUSE IT'S GONNA CAUSE US TO LOSE MORE HOUSES ALONG THAT BLOCK BECAUSE IT CREATES A SITUATION WHERE THERE'S A PRECEDENT FOR REZONING IN THAT AREA.
SO ONCE AGAIN, I'M OPPOSED TO IT.
I BELIEVE IT'S OUT OF CHARACTERISTIC FOR THE NEIGHBORHOOD.
AND IF I'M NOT MISTAKEN, WE HAD IT, THERE WAS A HEARING ON THIS LAST YEAR AND IT WAS OPPOSED AND THEY WERE DENIED THE ZONING CHANGE.
IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, PLEASE, PLEASE FEEL FREE TO CALL ME.
I AM THE VICE PRESIDENT FOR THE WESTWOOD SQUARE NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATION.
I RESIDE AT FORTY SIX OH SEVEN ELIZABETH ALLEN AND MY PHONE NUMBER IS (210) 838-3597.
UM, I WOULD LIKE TO OPPOSE THE ZONING CASE NUMBER Z 20 22 1 0 7 0 0 1 1 2 1.
UH, THE ADDRESS IS 1411 BRADY BOULEVARD.
IF THIS REQUEST IS, IT WILL IMPACT SEVERAL RESIDENTS IN THE NEARBY AREA NEGATIVELY DUE TO THE EXCESSIVE TRAFFIC AND NOISE AND THE CELL OF ALCOHOL.
IN ADDITION, AMPLE TIME HAS NOT BEEN GIVEN IN ORDER FOR THE NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATION TO INFORM THE RESIDENTS OF THE CHANGE REQUEST AND HOW IT CAN IMPACT THE NEIGHBORHOOD.
OUR FOCUS IS TO KEEP OUR NEIGHBORHOODS SAFE.
AND NOW WE SAY CONVERTING A CHURCH TO A PARTY HOUSE.
UH, PLEASE CONSIDER NOT NOT APPROVING THIS REQUEST.
THANK YOU SO MUCH AND HAVE A GOOD DAY.
AND THERE'S NO ONE PRESENT TO SPEAK ON EITHER OF THESE TWO ITEMS. SPEAK NOW.
UH, THIS IS, THESE ARE DISTRICT TWO AND DISTRICT FIVE CASES.
SO COMMISSIONER WATSON TO YOU FOR POTENTIAL MOTION.
ARE WE SUPPOSED, DID YOU ASK TO SPEAK ON
I THINK WE MIGHT'VE HAD YOU ON THE WRONG NUMBERS.
WHICH NUMBER ARE YOU HERE TO SPEAK ON? UH, SEVEN 11 MONTANA.
UM, I THINK YOU MIGHT'VE THOUGHT THAT WAS, THEY WERE HERE FOR, UM, 13.
OH, IS THAT MR. GTA? YES, THESE ARE THE
[00:25:01]
GTAS.SO WE WILL HAVE, WE WILL CALL THEM UP NOW AND YOU CAN SPEAK.
I COULDN'T FIGURE OUT WHAT, UH, I WOULD DOCUMENT IT WOULD WANT TO SHOW.
WE HAVE A FAMILY OWNED BUSINESS ON 1702 EAST COMMERCE.
I WOULD LIKE TO THANK THE BOARD FOR LETTING ME SPEAK.
UH, A AND A BODY IS A 50 YEAR OLD, 54 YEAR OLD, UH, THIRD GENERATION BUSINESS.
UH, WE WERE PREVIOUSLY GRANTED PRESERVATION RIGHTS IN 2008.
I WOULD LIKE TO REFERENCE THE ENVIRONMENTAL TEXAS ADMINISTRATIVE CODE TO THE BOARD MEMBERS.
UH, THIS CODE SIMPLY STATES THAT ANY BUILDING THAT IS 200 FEET AWAY FROM AN EXISTING SPRAY BOOTH WOULD REQUIRE A FILTER STACK TO BE AT LEAST 1.2 TIMES THE HEIGHT OF THE NEXT ADJOINING BUILDING.
OUR SPRAY BOOTH IS 80 FEET AWAY FROM THE PROPOSED SITE AT SEVEN 11 MONTANA STREET.
THIS CONSTRUCTION PROJECT WOULD COST OUR SHOP UPWARDS OF 300,000 REQUIRING A SPRAY BOOTH THAT, THAT HAS A 100 FOOT STACK.
THIS COST SHOULD BE PAID BY THE BUILDER OF SEVEN 11 MONTANA STREET.
I WOULD ALSO LIKE TO MENTION THAT YOU, THE ZONING BOARD GAVE UNANIMOUS DECISION ON DENYING THE SAME BUILDER TO REZONE LOT AT 1712 EAST COMMERCE.
THIS DECISION WAS MADE DUE TO EMERGENCY RESPONSE VEHICLES, LIMITED ACCESS TO THE FAMILY DWELLINGS.
LOCATION OF THIS PROJECT IS IN BETWEEN TWO AUTO REPAIR SHOPS.
THE SAFETY ISSUES THAT WOULD ARISE TO THE RESIDENTS OF THIS SAID FAMILY DWELLING, UH, IS AA BODY HAS WRECKERS PICKING UP AND DROPPING OFF 24 7, 7 DAYS A WEEK.
UH, YOU, THE BOARD DENIED THE REZONING REQUEST WITH A UNANIMOUS DECISION BASED ON THE CONSTRUCTION PROJECT BEING IMPRACTICAL NOR SAFE FOR THE RESIDENTS OF THIS PROPOSED FAMILY, UH, DWELLING.
THE FINAL DECISION WAS MADE WITH ONE REQUEST THAT THE BUILDER IN QUESTION IS TO MEET WITH AA BODY AND PAINT TO DISCUSS THE PROPOSED PROJECT.
THE BUILDER STILL HAS NOT DONE SO SINCE THEN, THE BUILDER HAS DECIDED TO MAKE THE LOT NEXT TO OUR BODY SHOP A TRASH DUMP.
SEE PICTURES, UH, THIS IS ON THE FRONTAGE OF E-COMMERCE.
VISIBLE TO ANYONE WHO DRIVES BY THIS CIRCUMSTANCE NOW APPLIES TO THE CURRENT ZONING REQUEST.
ONCE AGAIN, THE BUILDER HAS NOT BEEN IN CONTACT WITH A N A BODY TO ON THE PROPOSED PROJECT, UH, A N A PAINT BODY.
UH, WE'RE IN FAVOR OF CONTINUED DEVELOPMENT ON THE EAST SIDE, BUT NOT AT THE RESIDENTS OR THE BUSINESS OWNER'S, UH, EXPENSE.
WE ARE WILLING TO COME TO THE TABLE AND WORK WITH ANYBODY SEEKING TO BENEFIT OR, AND ENRICH THE EAST SIDE OF SAN ANTONIO.
ALRIGHT, ANY FURTHER PUBLIC COMMENTS ON THIS ITEM? THERE WAS ANOTHER JOHNNY GTA.
ALRIGHT, NOW, UH, THESE ARE DISTRICT TWO AND DISTRICT FIVE CASES, AND I WOULD NOTE FOR THE RECORD THAT COMMISSIONER WHITE HAS JOINED THE MEETING.
UM, AND SO THE MOTION IS TO COMMISSIONER WATSON FOR POTENTIAL MOTION.
UM, I MOVE TO CONTINUE FOR, UH, TWO WEEKS TO JUNE 21ST.
AND ITEMS 15 AND 16 ITEMS 15 AND 16.
IS THERE A SECOND? SECOND MOTION.
UH, SECOND FROM COMMISSIONER REBATO.
I'M SORRY, I DIDN'T, I HEARD SOMEONE ELSE BUT I SAW HIM.
ANY DISCUSSION? COMMISSIONERS TO MY LEFT.
ALRIGHT, THE MOTION IS FOR A CONTINUANCE OF ITEMS 15 AND 16 TO JUNE 21ST.
MOTION PASSES FOR CONTINUANCE.
UH, AT THIS TIME WE WILL MOVE ON TO OUR INDIVIDUAL ITEMS IF YOU WERE HERE FOR ANY OF THE PREVIOUS GO.
AND ENJOY THE REST OF YOUR DAY.
[00:30:01]
OUR FIRST ITEM FOR INDIVIDUAL CONSIDERATION IS ITEM NUMBER EIGHT.UH, LET THE RECORD REFLECT THAT COMMISSIONER GREATHOUSE IS LEAVING THE HEARING ROOM AND THE TIME IS ONE 30 AND COMMISSIONER GREATHOUSE HAS LEFT THE HEARING ROOM.
UH, IF WE COULD READ ITEM NUMBER EIGHT INTO THE RECORD, PLEASE.
MY NAME'S FOREST WILSON, SENIOR PLANNER WITH DEVELOPMENT SERVICES.
UH, SO ITEM NUMBER EIGHT IS THE BEACON HILL AND ALTA VISTA LARGE AREA REZONING.
THIS IS PHASE ONE FOR BEACON HILL.
UM, SO YOU CAN GO TO THE NEXT ONE.
SO THESE ARE JUST SOME OF THE, UH, EXAMPLES OF THE LARGE AREA REZONING PROJECTS THAT HAVE BEEN ACCOMPLISHED OVER THE LAST FEW YEARS.
HERE WE ARE AT BEACON HILL AND ALTA VISTA.
IN THE NEXT STEP ARE, WE HAVE WEST END HOPE IN ACTION AND WESTWOOD SQUARE.
SO JUST A QUICK BRA BACKGROUND, CITY COUNCIL APPROVED A RESOLUTION NOVEMBER 9TH, 2017, DIRECTING DEVELOPMENT SERVICES TO INITIATE A LARGE AREA REZONING TO APPROPRIATE ZONING DISTRICTS FOR PROPERTY LOCATED IN THE BEACON HILL AREA.
AND SO THESE ARE THE HISTORY OF ZONING IN BICKING HILL FROM THE ORIGINAL ADOPTION IN 1938 DOWN TO CURRENT IN 2017.
OUR LARGE AREA ZONING PROJECT, AND THIS IS A QUICK, UM, OVERVIEW OF OUR PROCESS FOR THE LARGE AREA REZONING.
SO THE CURRENT ZONING OF THE PROPERTIES IS A MIXTURE OF R SIX, MF 33 R M FOUR C TWO, AND THE 2001 ADOPTION OF THE UNIFIED DEVELOPMENT CODE CONVERTED ALL THE 1938 AND 1965 ZONING DISTRICTS TO THE CURRENT ZONING DISTRICTS.
AND THIS CONVERSION CREATED SOME NON-CONFORMING USES.
AND SO THE STRATEGY JUST INCLUDED, UM, FIELD AND DATA ANALYSIS CONDUCTED BY STAFF TO MAKE APPROPRIATE ZONING RECOMMENDATIONS BASED ON THE CURRENT USE OF PROPERTIES.
AND THESE, THESE ARE THE COMMUNITY MEETING DATES FOR THE MEETINGS WE HAD WITH THE BEACON HILL NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATION, THE ZONING AND URBAN DESIGN TASK FORCE IN ADDITION TO THE COMMUNITY IN PERSON AND VIRTUAL MEETINGS.
SO THIS IS, UH, WE LOOKED AT, UH, 1037 PROPERTIES AND WE HAVE 292 REZONING RECOMMENDATIONS.
AND THAT IS, UM, WHAT WE'RE RECOMMENDING TODAY.
AND SO THIS IS, THIS SLIDE IS A BREAKDOWN OF OUR RECOMMENDATIONS.
UM, SEE THERE'S 292 AND IT'S A MIXTURE OF, UM, VARIOUS ZONING DISTRICTS WITH VER THE, THE BIG ONE I WANNA POINT OUT IS VARIOUS RESIDENTIALLY ZONED PROPERTIES ARE CONDITIONALLY ZONED FOR TWO OR MORE DWELLING UNITS, UM, TO AVOID NON-CONFORMING USES.
SO YOU SEE A LOT OF THE, UH, CONDITIONAL USES THERE NEXT.
AND THERE ARE NO PLAN AMENDMENTS.
SO ALL, ALL OF OUR RECOMMENDATIONS ARE CONSISTENT WITH THE MIDTOWN NEIGHBORHOOD PLAN AND GO NEXT.
AND THESE ARE JUST THE FUTURE LAND USE FROM THE MIDTOWN NEIGHBORHOOD PLAN AND THE MATRIX THAT WE FOLLOWED IN THAT PLAN.
AND THIS IS A MAP OF, UH, WE BROKE THE BEACON HILL AREA INTO A NORTH AND SOUTH SECTION AND THIS IS THE NORTH SECTION AND THE RED SQUARES ARE THE ONES THAT WE ARE RECOMMENDING ZONING CHANGE FOR.
AND THE NEXT ONE IS THE SOUTH.
SO THIS IS JUST A BRIEF OVERVIEW OF OUR PROCESS.
WE, UH, MET WITH THE TASK FORCE, HELD COMMUNITY MEETINGS, DID OUR FIELD AND DATA ANALYSIS.
AND UM, HERE WE ARE AT ZONING COMMISSION.
UH, THESE, UH, IS JUST WHERE THE INFORMATION THAT WE HAVE AVAILABLE ON THE WEBSITE.
SO, UM, THE ONLY OTHER THING I WANTED TO MENTION THAT PROPERTIES WERE REMOVED FROM THE STRATEGY IF ALREADY APPROPRIATELY ZONED FOR THEIR CURRENT USE.
UM, THERE ARE, THERE ARE 1,108 NOTICES MAILED THREE RECEIVED IN FAVOR, SIX OPPOSED.
AND THE BEACON HILL NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATION IS IN FAVOR AND STAFF RECOMMENDS APPROVAL.
UM, ANY PUBLIC COMMENT? WE HAVE ONE VOICEMAIL.
SIMA COLVIN 8 1 7 WEST MAGNOLIA AVENUE ZONING CASE ENDING IN 2 9 6 BEACON HILL LARGE AREA REZONING.
DEAR ZONING COMMISSIONERS, ALMOST FIVE YEARS AGO, OUR FORMER COUNCIL MEMBER ROBERTO
[00:35:01]
IN SEVERAL DISTRICT ONE NEIGHBORHOODS.THIS REQUEST WAS A RESULT OF URGENT PLEAS FROM THOSE NEIGHBORHOODS ABOUT INCONSISTENT ZONING THAT ALLOWED DEVELOPMENTS INCOMPATIBLE WITH NEIGHBORHOOD PLANS.
BEACON HILL IS FORTUNATE TO HAVE HAD A COMPETENT AND DEDICATED GROUP OF NEIGHBORHOOD VOLUNTEERS THAT HERALDED THIS PROJECT THROUGH SPENDING UNTOLD HOURS OVER THE LAST TWO YEARS REVIEWING ALL ZONING CHANGES PROPOSED BY D S D AND REQUESTING REVISIONS TO SOME.
THIS INCLUDED PHYSICALLY VISITING ALL PROPERTIES ON THE LIST TO MAKE SURE THAT THE GOAL OF THE C C R WAS BEING ADHERED TO.
WHILE THE FINAL LIST ISN'T PERFECT, IT IS A MUCH IMPROVED VERSION OF WHAT WE STARTED WITH AND WILL OVERALL PROVIDE BETTER DEVELOPMENT RESULTS FOR THE COMMUNITY.
I PERSONALLY WISH TO THANK THE MEMBERS OF BEACON HILLS ZONING AND URBAN DESIGN COMMITTEE WHO DID THE WORK AND THE D S D STAFF WHO WERE ALWAYS PROFESSIONAL AND RESPONSIVE.
I WOULD ADD THE CAVEAT THAT I STILL THINK THERE IS TOO MUCH OF A BURDEN ON THE NEIGHBORHOODS THEMSELVES TO REVIEW AND DOUBLE CHECK AND VERIFY, ET CETERA.
I SUPPORT THE FINAL REVISIONS THAT WERE WORKED OUT BY STAFF AND BEACON HILL SUBCOMMITTEE AND UNANIMOUSLY APPROVED BY THE ASSOCIATION MEMBERS PRESENT FOR THE VOTE REGARDING THE CHANGE TO 1 0 0 8 GRAMERCY.
I ASK THAT THE ZONING COMMISSION SUPPORT A CHANGE TO R SIX WITH THE CONDITIONAL USE FOR THREE UNITS.
THIS CHANGE WOULD BRING THE ZONING CLOSER TO BEING IN LINE WITH THE NEIGHBORHOOD PLAN IS CONSISTENT WITH THE C C R AND WITH THE OTHER CHANGES BEING REQUESTED, I WOULD OPPOSE ANY OTHER INDIVIDUAL CHANGES FROM THE REQUEST AS IT IS BEING PRESENTED TODAY AS THAT WOULD CIRCUMVENT THE GOOD WORK THAT'S BEEN DONE AND THE PROCESS THAT'S BEEN PAINSTAKINGLY ADHERED TO.
WE DO HAVE ONE PERSON SIGNED IN TO SPEAK.
ALRIGHT, MR. WOODWARD, IF YOU WOULD INTRODUCE YOURSELF, GIVE US YOUR ADDRESS AND GIVE US YOUR POSITION PLEASE.
I'M THE PRESIDENT OF THE UPTOWN NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATION AND RESIDE AT 8 23 FREDERICKSBURG ROAD.
THANK YOU ALL FOR YOUR SERVICE TO THE CITY OF SAN ANTONIO AND FOR THE OPPORTUNITY TO SPEAK TODAY.
UM, TODAY I'M ALSO HERE AS A CONCERNED SAN ANTONIO.
I'M CONCERNED THAT THE POLITICAL ACTIONS OF A PRIVILEGED FEW ARE STRIPPING FUTURE GENERATIONS OF RIGHTS AND OPPORTUNITIES WITHOUT THEIR PARTICIPATION OR CONSENT.
I'VE TRIED TO HAVE THIS DISCUSSION WITH FELLOW NEIGHBORHOOD LEADERS, INCLUDING THOSE LISTED, BUT WAS ACCUSED OF AGEISM, SMEARED AS A BIGOT AND BULLIED OUT OF THE ROOM.
NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATIONS CONSISTING EXCLUSIVELY OF HOMEOWNERS CONTINUE TO HAVE THEIR WAY WITH THE PUBLIC PROCESS WHILE TENANTS AND BUSINESSES WORK TO SURVIVE, THEN ULTIMATELY SUFFER THE BRUNT OF THE CONSEQUENCES UNDER THE GUISE OF CULTURAL AND HISTORIC PRESERVATION.
ACTIONS LIKE THIS LARGE AREA REZONE, SERVE TO PURGE THE NEIGHBORHOOD OF THE VERY DIVERSITY AND CHARACTER THAT MAKES THEM SPECIAL.
HISTORICALLY, BEACON HILL WAS NOT MADE UP EXCLUSIVELY OF SINGLE FAMILY DWELLINGS AS THE BRANDING OF THESE 200 SOME ODD PROPERTIES AS NON-CONFORMING SUGGESTS BUSINESSES, MULTI-FAMILY PROPERTIES OF VARYING SIZES, AND THE TENANTS WHO OCCUPY THEM REPRESENT THE MAJORITY AND THE FABRIC OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD.
THIS IS BUT A MICROCOSM OF THE CORRUPTION THAT PLAGUES OUR COUNTRY'S PUBLIC PROCESSES.
WHILE THE WORKING CLASS WORKS, LOBBYISTS AND SPECIAL INTEREST GROUPS STEER PUBLIC SERVANTS TO DO THEIR BIDDING.
CODIFIED POLICIES LIKE THIS ENSURE THE RICH GET RICHER, THE POOR, POORER, AND THE DIVIDE WIDER.
THAT'S ALL THAT'S SIGNED IN TO SPEAK.
THIS IS A DISTRICT ONE CASE, UH, BUT COMMISSIONER GREATHOUSE HAS RECUSED.
SO I WILL HAND IT OVER TO COMMISSIONER SIPES INITIALLY FOR QUESTIONS.
I DO HAVE ONE QUESTION FOR STAFF.
UM, RELATIVE TO THE, THE, THE SPEAKER'S COMMENTS, UM, THE, THE THE NUMBER OF, UM, CDS, YOU KNOW, CONDITIONAL USES FOR MULTIPLE UNITS, THAT WAS TO WHAT I, THE WAY I SEE IT IS IT'S PRESERVING THOSE, UM, MULTIPLE UNITS ON THAT SITE.
CORRECT? IT'S NOT, IT'S, IT'S SO THAT THEY'RE NO LONGER NON-CONFORMING, BUT THEY ARE NOW ALLOWED TO, TO, UH, STAY ON THAT SITE, CORRECT? CORRECT.
SO THE GOAL WAS TO ALIGN ZONING WITH THE CURRENT USE OF PROPERTY.
SO, AND, AND NONE OF THOSE ARE ADDING ADDITIONAL UNITS, BUT, BUT THEY'RE NOT LIMITING THEM ANY? NO, NO, NO, NO.
IT'S SIMPLY UPDATING TO WHAT IS CURRENTLY THERE.
[00:40:01]
WHERE IF THERE, IF THE PROPERTY WAS ZONED MF OR RMM, THEY HAVE THE ABILITY TO, TO ADD ADDITIONAL UNITS.IF WE'RE PROPOSING DOWN ZONING THEM TO A SINGLE, UH, FAMILY RESIDENTIAL BASED DISTRICT WITH THE CONDITIONAL USE, THEN THEY ARE LIMITED TO JUST WHAT'S ON THE GROUND.
BUT THAT'S HOW THEY CURRENTLY EXIST TODAY.
THAT'S HOW THEY CURRENTLY EXIST.
HAVE I COMMENT ON THAT? NO, MR. WOODWARD, UNLESS SOMEONE ASKS YOU A QUESTION.
UM, COMMISSIONER S SIPES, DO YOU WANT TO FOLLOW UP? UM, NO, I'M COMING.
UM, ACTUALLY FOR US BEFORE YOU SIT DOWN, MR. WILSON RATHER, UM, I HAVE A QUICK QUESTION AND THEN I'LL GIVE IT TO YOU.
COMMISSIONER WHITE, ARE YOU AWARE OF ANY SITUATIONS WHERE THE BUILDING IS A STRUCTURE THAT CAN FACILITATE MULTIPLE UNITS ON A SINGLE PROPERTY BUT MAY NOT BE IN USE WITHIN THIS LARGE AREA REZONING? NOT THAT I'M AWARE OF.
COMMISSIONER WHITE, MR. WOODWARD, MR. WOODWARD.
SO BRINGING THAT, COME ON, COME ON UP AND HE'LL ASK YOU A QUESTION.
YOU WERE GONNA MAKE A COMMENT AND I'M CURIOUS WHAT IT WAS.
THE ZONING CHANGE IS EFFECTIVELY GRANDFATHER IN THESE HISTORIC USES, BUT PROHIBIT THEIR USE GOING FORWARD.
ANY DOWN ZONING REDUCES THE POSSIBLE USES OF A PROPERTY.
WE DON'T KNOW WHAT THOSE POSSIBLE USES MIGHT BE, BUT BY REMOVING THEM, WE ARE PRINCIPALLY REDUCING THE NUMBER OF USES FOR A GIVEN PROPERTY.
WE ARE IN A HOUSING CRISIS, WE NEED MORE UNITS.
THIS PUSHES THAT IN THE WRONG DIRECTION.
AND JUST TO STAFF AN OBVIOUS QUESTION.
ALL, ALL THESE PEOPLE THAT ARE IN THE LITTLE RED BOXES, THEY'RE, THEY ALL GOT NOTICE OF OF THIS? OF COURSE.
EVERYBODY WITHIN THE, THE ENTIRE BOUNDARY GOT NOTICE.
WHITE COMMERS TO MY LEFT QUESTIONS, COMMISSIONERS TO MY RIGHT.
I GUESS I HAVE A FURTHER FOLLOW UP QUESTION IN LIGHT OF MR. WOODWARD'S, UH, COMMENT.
UH, CAN WE GO BACK TO THE TABLE, UH, THAT IDENTIFIES WHERE THE VARIOUS DOWN ZONINGS ARE OR ZONING CHANGES ARE? EXCUSE ME.
UM, ALRIGHT, SO DO WE HAVE, WHAT DO WE HAVE HERE? IS THERE ANY MF THAT WAS EXISTING HERE WITHIN THE LARGE AREA REZONING? UH, YES SIR.
THERE WAS SOME MULTIFAMILY THAT WERE DOWN ZONED BASED ON, AGAIN, THE CURRENT USE OF THE PROPERTY.
AND WHAT WAS THAT? MULTIFAMILY ZONING.
AND THIS MAY NOT BE THE RIGHT, UH, ANALYSIS TO LOOK AT.
THE ONLY, I BELIEVE THEY WERE ALL MF 33.
DO YOU KNOW HOW MANY LOTS THAT WAS NOT OFF THE TOP OF MY HEAD.
DO YOU KNOW APPROXIMATELY WHAT AREA THOSE LOTS WOULD'VE COVERED? UH, I BELIEVE SO.
I, I DON'T KNOW IF THIS WE'D HAVE A PERCENTAGE OF HOW MANY PROPERTIES WITHIN THE BOUNDARY THAT WERE DOWN ZONED AS A RESULT OF THESE RECOMMENDATIONS FROM A MULTI-FAMILY TO A SINGLE FAMILY, UH, ZONING DISTRICT WAS ABOUT 41%.
UM, I THINK THAT'S MY FINAL QUESTION.
ANY FURTHER QUESTIONS? LEFT FURTHER QUESTIONS? RIGHT.
UM, COMMISSIONER SIPES TO YOU FOR A MOTION.
UM, I APPRECIATE THE, THE, THE SPEAKER'S COMMENTS.
I, I AGREE WITH, WITH, UH, THAT WE ARE IN A HOUSING CRUNCH.
UM, BUT FOR THIS CASE, I, I, I APPRECIATE THE CITY AND THEIR OUTREACH.
UM, AND THE, THE FACT THAT THERE WERE NOT MORE SPEAKER OR NOT ANY REALLY OF, OF THE SPEAKERS OF, OF, OF THESE PROPERTIES OPPOSING THEIR REZONING, UM, TO ME SPEAKS, SPEAKS THAT, UH, OF KIND OF A CONSENSUS OF AGREEMENT.
SO WITH THAT IN MIND, UM, I WOULD LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE WITH AN AMENDMENT FOR THE 1008 WEST
[00:45:01]
GRAMERCY TO R SIX CD FOR THREE UNITS.UH, THERE'S A MOTION AS STATED ON THE RECORD FOR APPROVAL.
IS THERE A SECOND? I'LL, I'LL SECOND THAT.
OH, I'M GONNA GO WITH COMMISSIONER.
COMMISSIONER ORTIZ IS THE SECOND.
UM, ALRIGHT, SO THERE'S A MOTION FOR APPROVAL, UM, WITH THE EXCEPTION OF 1000 1008 GRAM WEST GRAMERCY, UH, TO AN R SIX CD WITH THREE UNITS.
YES, I SHOULD HAVE WRITTEN THAT DOWN.
DISCUSSION COMMISSIONERS TO MY LEFT.
YEAH, JUST BRIEFLY, UM, I WAS SORT OF SHOCKED AT THE 41% NUMBER.
IT'S, THAT'S, I MEAN, CLEARLY CHANGING THE CHARACTER OF WHAT COULD BE IN THIS NEIGHBORHOOD IF, IF THE CURRENT OWNERS WANTED TO TO USE THEIR PROPERTIES DIFFERENTLY, BUT AS COMMISSIONER SIPES SAID, IT APPEARS THAT THE OWNERS WHO ARE HAVING THEIR PROPERTIES REZONED DO NOT HAVE AN ISSUE WITH IT.
SO BECAUSE OF THAT, I'LL SUPPORT THE MOTION.
COMMISSIONER WATSON, UM, SORT OF ECHOING, UH, COMMISSIONER WHITE'S COMMENTS.
UM, BEACON HILL DOES HAVE A VERY ROBUST AND VERY TRANSPARENT REZONING PROCESS, WHICH I WANT TO COMMEND.
THE NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATION FOR.
UM, EXECUTING AND NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATIONS IN THE URBAN CORE ARE VOLUNTARY.
THEY'RE, YOU ARE NOT MANDATED TO PARTICIPATE OR PAY ANYTHING TO BE INVOLVED IN THEM.
UM, LIKE A HOMEOWNER'S ASSOCIATION, WHICH I THINK IS IMPORTANT TO REMEMBER IN A LARGE AREA REZONING LIKE THIS, EVERYONE IS NOTICED AND WE'VE SEEN THAT OWNERS AND TENANTS WHO CAN PARTICIPATE IN THIS NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATION HAVE SUPPORTED THIS.
UM, AND FOR THAT REASON, I AM GOING TO BE SUPPORTING THIS MOTION THOUGH I DO THINK MR. WOODWARD'S POINTS ARE WELL TAKEN ABOUT CHALLENGES TO PUBLIC PARTICIPATION, EXCUSE ME, AND TRANSPARENCY IN SOME OF THESE PROCESSES.
BUT IN THIS CASE, UM, I THINK WE'VE SEEN THAT THE NEIGHBORHOOD HAS PRESENTED WHAT THEY, THEY ENVISION FOR THEIR, THEIR FUTURE AND THEY HAVE A RIGHT TO DO THAT.
ALRIGHT, ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION? COMMISSIONERS TO MY LEFT.
SEEING NONE COMMERS TO MY RIGHT.
UM, YEAH, I THINK, UH, LIKE COMMISSIONER WHITE, I WAS SOMEWHAT SURPRISED BY THE 41%.
UH, HOWEVER, UM, THAT BEING SAID, I LIVE IN A NEIGHBORHOOD WHERE IT SEEMS LIKE THROUGH A CONVERSION, A LOT OF TRADITIONALLY SINGLE FAMILY HOMES WERE AUTOMATICALLY CONVERTED TO MF 33.
THERE DOESN'T NECESSARILY APPEAR TO BE ANY RHYME OR REASON TO THAT.
AND YOU KNOW, I THINK MR. WOODWARD, TO YOUR POINT, TO THE EXTENT THAT A MULTI-FAMILY HOUSING IS THE PROPER ZONING, WE CAN FIX THAT THROUGH INDIVIDUAL ZONING CASES AND WE SHOULD HOPEFULLY GET THOSE.
AS YOU KNOW, WE TRY TO ADDRESS THE HOUSING ISSUES IN OUR CITY.
UM, SO I WILL BE SUPPORTING THE MOTION AS WELL.
ALRIGHT, SEEING NO FURTHER DISCUSSION, COMMISSIONER S SIPES IS GONNA RESTATE THE MOTION AND THEN WE'RE GONNA HAVE A ROLL CALL VOTE.
I'M GONNA MAKE YOU DO, THE MOTION IS TO APPROVE WITH AN AMENDMENT FOR 1008 WEST GRAMERCY TO R SIX CD FOR THREE UNITS.
THE MOTION IS AS READ BY COMMISSIONER SIPES INTO THE RECORD WITH A SECOND BY, UH, COMMISSIONER ORTIZ ALMOST WENT BACK TO WATSON.
COMMISSIONER GREATHOUSE IS RECUSED.
UH, IF WE CAN GET COMMISSIONER GREATHOUSE BACK IN PLEASE.
ALRIGHT, WE ARE GOING TO MOVE ON NOW TO ITEM NUMBER TWO.
THIS IS SLIGHTLY DIFFERENT THAN WHAT WAS PRESENTED EARLIER, BUT WE'RE GONNA GO BACK INTO NUMERICAL ORDER NOW.
SO WE'RE GONNA START WITH ITEM NUMBER TWO.

THEIR COMMERCIAL ZONING AND USE IS PERMITTED IN THE AREA AND THE PROPOSED REZONING WOULD ESTABLISH ADDITIONAL C TWO ZONING ALONG THE SECONDARY ARTERIAL.

UM, HOWEVER, THE PROPOSED MF 25 LOW DENSITY MULTIFAMILY RESIDENTIAL DISTRICT IS
[01:00:01]
ALSO APPROPRIATE ZONING FOR THE AREA.THIS PROPOSED HOUSING WOULD BREAK UP THE EXISTING COMMERCIAL PROPERTIES WITHIN THE AREA AND OFFERS HOUSING OPTIONS FOR THAT 1604 REGION.

THE, THE CURRENT ZONING IS C TWO AND C THREE, BUT AS YOU CAN SEE, THE AREA AROUND US IS ALSO C TWO TWO AND C THREE.
I WANTED TO SHOW THAT IT'S IMPORTANT TO SAY HOW MUCH COMMERCIAL THERE ACTUALLY IS ON THIS CORNER.
IT'S A LITTLE, IT'S A LITTLE TOO MUCH.
AND SO THIS IS ACTUALLY BREAKS UP THE ZONING BY PROVIDING SOME HOUSING.
IF YOU GO TO THE NEXT SLIDE AND, AND ACTUALLY WAS ALREADY PLANNED AS PART OF THE NORTH SECTOR PLAN.
THIS WAS ALL REGIONAL COMMERCIAL, WHICH, UM, IS, HAS MF 25 AND MF 3 33 AVAILABLE.
SO, UM, OUR DENSITY IS, IS STILL UNDER 25.

THE PROPOSED USE IS NOT CONSISTENT WITH THE ESTABLISHED DEVELOPMENT PATTERN OF THE, THE SURROUNDING AREA.
WHERE SURROUNDING PROPERTIES ARE PRIMARILY ZONED R FOUR.
ALTHOUGH THE SITE IS CURRENTLY ZONED C TWO AND THE SITE HAS PREVIOUSLY BEEN UTILIZED FOR MEDIUM INTENSITY AUTOMOBILE USES INCREASING THE INTENSITY BY ADDING A CONDITIONAL USE FOR AUTO AND LIGHT TRUCK REPAIR IS NOT APPROPRIATE GIVEN THE SURROUNDING RESIDENTIAL SINGLE FAMILY USE.
STAFF RECOMMENDS DENIAL AND THE APPLICANT IS HERE TO AN ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS AND THIS CASE WAS CONTINUED FROM APRIL 19TH.
IF WE COULD ADD THE APPLICANT PLEASE.
I OWN BILL EMRY ROOFING COMPANY.
MY SON AARON HAS BEEN OUR MECHANIC.
WE HAVE TRUCKS THAT
AND UM, MY BOSS DIED TWO YEARS AGO AND SO I BOUGHT THE COMPANY AND, UM, BECAUSE OF ITS GOOD REPUTATION, HIS WIDOW SOLD THE LAND WE WERE ON AND UNDERSTANDABLY SO AND SO WE SCRAMBLED TO BUY A PIECE OF COMMERCIAL REAL ESTATE TO PUT MY LITTLE OFFICE ON AND WE'VE DOWNSIZED AND MY MECHANIC, MY SON, WHAT WE'D LIKE TO DO, I KNOW IT'S ZONED C TWO IS EXTEND A LITTLE MORE SO HE CAN HELP THE NEIGHBORHOOD OUT WITH RISING GAS PRICES, AUTO PRICES.
UM, THE NEIGHBORHOOD LOVES US AND WE WANT TO, YOU KNOW, EARN THEIR HEARTS AS WELL AS THEIR BUSINESS AND, UM, GET HIM TO WHERE HE CAN WORK ON THE NEIGHBORHOODS, VEHICLES.
I THINK IT WOULD BE LIKE A C TWO SS.
SOMEBODY TOLD ME E EVERYTHING'S ALREADY THERE.
ALL WE HAVE TO DO IS LIKE CLOSE IN ONE, UM, CARPORT.
SO EVERYTHING'S ALREADY THERE.
UH, WE'LL PROBABLY CALL YOU BACK UP.
UH, DO WE HAVE ANY PUBLIC COMMENT? NO ONE SENT IN TO SPEAK.
THIS IS A, WHICH CASE? THIS ONE'S DISTRICT FOUR.
UH, CAN I HAVE THE APPLICANT'S, UH, BACK AT THE PODIUM, MA'AM? YEAH.
SO, UM, EMBRY ROOFING, IS THAT THE COMPANY THAT, UH, BILL EMBRY ROOFING COMPANY? YEAH, BILL EMBRY STARTED IT.
HIS DAUGHTER AND SON-IN-LAW HAD IT.
AND WHEN HE PASSED AWAY TWO YEARS AGO, I WANNA KEEP IT GOING.
UH, YOU KNOW, IT'S KIND OF, UH, VERY ODD THAT YOU HAVE A C TWO ZONED PROPERTY THERE ALREADY.
UH, AND RIGHT NOW YOU UH, YOU ARE HERE BECAUSE THERE, HAS THERE BEEN ANY ZONING VIOLATION? IS THAT WHY NO ZONING VIOLATIONS? NO.
I JUST HAVE A LITTLE OFFICE BUILDING THERE.
I DON'T BUY A LOT OF ROOFING MATERIAL AND KEEP IT THERE.
IF THERE'S EXTRA, WE TAKE IT BACK TO THE VENDORS.
UH, THE REQUEST NOW IS TO CHANGE IT FROM C TWO TO C C TWO CD FOR, UH, AUTOMOBILE REPAIRS.
WILL YOU BE OFFERING THE, UH, REPAIR SERVICES TO THE PUBLIC? WE'D LIKE TO BE OPEN TO ANYBODY.
ESPECIALLY, UM, WE'VE HAD LIKE CUSTOMERS COME IN, ASK FOR OIL CHANGES OR WHAT'S THIS NOISE? WHAT'S THAT NOISE? AND WE'D LIKE TO SERVE THE COMMUNITY.
AND I UNDERSTAND YEARS AGO THERE USED TO BE A FILLING STATION THERE, AN AUTO STATION THERE, AND A LITTLE ICE HOUSE.
SO IT'S BEEN A BUSINESS FOR MANY, MANY YEARS.
A LOT OF MY CUSTOMERS WILL SAY, YEAH, WE KNOW THAT PROPERTY.
SO WHAT WE'D LIKE TO DO IS, I KNOW SOME AUTOMOTIVE REPAIR WORK IS ALLOWED TO DO A LITTLE EXTRA IN CASE WE HAVE A CUSTOMER THAT SAYS, OKAY, WELL WHAT'S THIS NOISE? AND IT'S MORE THAN JUST AN OIL CHANGE NEEDED.
UH, YEAH, IT, I LOOKED AT THE HISTORY OF THE PROPERTY.
IT USED TO BE RESIDENTIAL, THEN IT CHANGED TO R SIX, ET CETERA.
THEN FINALLY CHANGED TO C TWO SOME FEW YEARS AGO.
UH, TYPE OF USE THAT YOU REALLY TRYING TO DO HERE.
SHOULD BE IN C THREE OR A C TWO CD FOR AUTOMOTIVE REPAIRS.
[01:10:01]
THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME.UM, I WANTED TO ASK A QUESTION WITH A CITY STAFF PLEASE.
CAN THE CASE MANAGER COME UP? YEAH.
RECOMMENDATION, YOU ARE DENYING THE MM-HMM.
UM, IS IT BECAUSE OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD? UM, IT'S JUST 'CAUSE OF THE SURROUNDING RESIDENTIAL SINGLE FAMILY CHARACTER.
SO WE FELT THAT CONDITIONING IT TO A C THREE USED WOULD BE TOO INTENSE FOR THE NEIGHBORING AREA.
UM, OF COURSE, UM, NO ONE CAME IN TO SPEAK, BUT JUST THAT'S WHERE STAFF'S POINT OF VIEW WAS.
UM, I'M GONNA PASS IT TO OTHER FELLOW COMMISSIONERS IF THEY HAVE ANY QUESTIONS.
ANY COMMISSIONERS ON MY LEFT WITH QUESTIONS? NO COMMISSIONERS ON MY RIGHT.
IT'S UM, LIKE EVERYTHING IS THERE.
THERE WOULDN'T BE A BIG TRUCKS AND STUFF LIKE THAT.
IT WOULD JUST BE NEIGHBORHOOD VEHICLES FOR REPAIRS.
UM, COMMISSIONER KAMATH, I GUESS IT'S BACK TO YOU.
AT THIS TIME, YOU KNOW, I, UH, I WOULD LIKE TO GO WITH THE CITY STAFF RECOMMENDATION AS A DENIAL FOR THIS APPLICATION BECAUSE THE TYPE OF USE THEY'RE REALLY DOING IS FOR C THREE.
SO, UM, I MOVE THAT WE DENY THE, UH, REZONING APPLICATION FOR C TWO CD AT THIS TIME.
UM, THERE'S A MOTION FOR DENIAL.
IS THERE A SECOND GOING ONCE? MM, NO SECOND.
UM, MOTION FAILS FOR LACK OF A SECOND.
WOULD SOMEONE LIKE TO MAKE AN ALTERNATIVE MOTION? I ACTUALLY HAVE A QUESTION FOR STAFF.
IS THERE AN ALTER, CAN WE ADD SPECIFICS TO THE CURRENT ZONING THAT THEY HAVE TO MAYBE KIND OF A WIN-WIN FOR BOTH? WELL, BECAUSE IT'S A CONDITIONAL USE, UH, THERE CAN BE CONDITIONS THAT ARE PLACED THAT WE CAN, UH, THEN ENFORCE THROUGH THE ORDINANCE, SUCH AS HOURS OF OPERATION, UM, ANY ADDITIONAL SCREENING, THINGS LIKE THAT.
QUESTION FOR THE APPLICANT? YES, SIR.
WOULD YOU CONSIDER ANY OF THESE? UH, YES.
SO COMMISSIONER ORTIZ ARE, IS THAT YOU FORMULATING A MOTION? I'M ACTUALLY, SORRY ABOUT THAT.
I'M ACTUALLY GONNA MAKE A MOTION TO, I GUESS WE CAN, I'M GONNA LEAVE IT FOR THE DISTRICT, BUT I DON'T KNOW IF I'M SPEAKING OUTTA LINE, BUT MAYBE SOME CONDITIONS TO APPLY TO THE ZONING AND SEE IF WE CAN GO AHEAD AND COME TO A MOTION ON THAT.
IF I MIGHT ADD, WHY DON'T WE, WHY DON'T WE ASK SOME QUESTIONS OF THE APPLICANT REGARDING CERTAIN CONDITIONAL ALLOWANCES, UH, RATHER THAN SORT OF CONFER UP HERE.
UM, FOR EXAMPLE, ONE COULD INQUIRE ABOUT HOURS OF OPERATION OR SCREENING OR PENANT SIGNS OR THINGS OF THAT NATURE.
YES, THERE IS A COMMERCIAL PROPERTY KITTY CORNER TO US.
SO QUESTIONS, QUESTIONS, QUESTIONS, QUESTIONS.
SO, UM, CAN WE, WOULD YOU BE OPEN TO, UM, NINE TO UM, NINE TO TO FIVE? YES.
MONDAY OR MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY.
YOU KNOW, MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY YOU'RE GOOD WITH, YEAH, WE LIKE OUR WEEKENDS 'CAUSE WE WORK REALLY HARD.
MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY, NINE TO FIVE.
AND THEN, UM, I GUESS LIGHTING SOUND.
WHERE EXACTLY ON THIS LOT IS, IS THE MECHANIC WORK GONNA TAKE PLACE WHERE IT'S THE CARPORT? THERE WAS AN EXISTING CARPORT.
UH, WE KIND OF FIXED IT A LITTLE BIT, SO WE ACTUALLY ARE ATTRIBUTING TO THE NEIGHBORHOOD AND KEEPING IT SMALL AND FRIENDLY.
THE STORAGE SHED, MY OFFICE IS IN THE BACK.
UM, THERE'S A STORAGE SHED WHERE WE KEEP FANS WHEN IT GETS HOT.
[01:15:01]
SORT OF IN THAT LOWER, LOWER RIGHT HAND SIDE.OH, WHERE IT SAYS CARPORT, LOWER RIGHT HAND SIDE.
UM, DO WE NEED TO, I HAVE A QUESTION, UH, MR. CHAIRMAN.
UM, COMMISSIONER BOTTLES QUESTION.
WHAT KIND OF SERVICE ARE YOU ALL GONNA PROVIDE BESIDES OIL CHANGE? I MEAN, ANY REPAIRS, ANY, LIKE A TYPICAL GARAGE, WHATEVER WE'RE ALLOWED TO, SIR, WHATEVER IS PERMITTED.
WELL THAT, IN THAT CASE, MOST OF THE GARAGES ARE OPEN FROM EIGHT TO SIX.
I MEAN, I JUST, BASED ON WHAT I KNOW OF EIGHT TO SIX, THE REGULAR HOURS, HE'S THE EXPERT.
LET ME INTRODUCE, MY NAME'S AARON.
UM, I'VE BEEN A MECHANIC FOR GOING ON 20 YEARS NOW.
I DID 15 YEARS AT THE, AT THE DEALERSHIP, FORD DEALERSHIP.
UH, SO I HAVE A LOT TO OFFER WHEN IT COMES TO AUTOMOTIVE.
UH, AS WHAT I'M DOING NOW IS NOT REALLY ENOUGH.
YOU KNOW, I'M BARELY USING A LITTLE PIECE OF MY SKILLS.
UH, I CAN BRING A LOT MORE TO THE TABLE.
EIGHT TO FIVE, NINE TO FIVE, MONDAY TO FRIDAY.
UH, IT'S NOT A BIG OPERATION AS YOU CAN SEE.
UM, GONNA KEEP IT REAL SMALL, YOU KNOW.
UM, TELL YOU WHAT, EVEN THOUGH I WASN'T HERE FOR SOME OF IT, I'M GONNA ASK SOME QUESTIONS.
UH, ARE YOU GONNA USE ANY SIGNS, LIKE BANNER SIGNS, WAVY SIGNS, THINGS OF THAT NATURE? I HAVE ONE FOR THE ROOFING COMPANY, BUT IF IT'S, YOU KNOW, NOT SUPPOSED TO BE THERE, I'LL TAKE IT DOWN.
UM, WHAT ABOUT DOWNWARD FACING LIGHTING? WOULD YOU AGREE TO THAT? DOWNWARD FACING LIGHTING? I'M NOT TOO SURE WHAT THAT IS.
IT'S ALREADY REQUIRED FACING LIGHTING.
UM, WHAT ELSE DO WE IT MEANS SHIELDED LIGHTING THAT, THAT FACES DOWN.
HOW ABOUT, UH, A SCREENED FENCE? IT'S EXISTING AND A SCREENED FENCE WOULD BE REQUIRED BY CODE ALREADY BUTTING RESIDENTIAL ZONING AND OR USES.
ANY OTHER CONDITIONS THAT ANY A, UM, ANY COMMISSIONER CAN THINK OF? YES.
COMMISSIONER, THE ONLY THING I WAS JUST THINKING IS WHERE THE REPAIRS ARE GONNA BE DONE.
ARE THEY GONNA BE DONE TOWARDS THE GT, I GUESS GTT BOULEVARD OR ARE THEY FACING TOWARDS THE PROPERTIES THAT ARE ADJACENT TO IT'S ALL OPEN RIGHT NOW.
SO STAFF, IF WE CAN GET THE PICTURE, UH, DO, CAN WE GET A PICTURE OF THE SITE? OKAY.
AND ON ONE SIDE WE HAVE AN EMPTY LOT BEHIND US.
WE HAVE AN ABANDONED BUILDING.
SO, SO IF WE LOOK HERE, UM, OH, CAN WE GO BACK TO THE OVERHEAD SHOT? UH, THE REPAIRS WILL BE BASICALLY BE DONE IN THE LOWER RIGHT HAND SIDE WHERE GILLETTE AND ROCKPORT YES.
DOES THAT ANSWER THE QUESTION? ALRIGHT, COMMISSIONER GREATHOUSE QUESTIONS, QUESTION FOR STAFF.
UM, C TWO, WE CAN HAVE OUTDOOR SPEAKERS.
C TWO DOES ALLOW OUTDOOR SPEAKERS.
WOULD YOU GUYS BE AMENABLE TO PUTTING ON A NOISE RESTRICTION THAT WOULD NOT ALLOW YOU TO HAVE OUT OUTDOOR SPEAKERS? YEAH, NO PROBLEM.
WE'RE, WE'RE NOT THAT KIND OF SHOP.
ANY OTHER CONDITIONS? QUESTIONS, COMMISSIONERS? SEEING NONE, I JUST WANT TO CONFIRM THAT THE TWO
THEY ALSO HAVE NO TEMP SIGNAGE.
I DIDN'T, I DIDN'T NECESSARILY PUSH THAT.
SO IF SOMEONE WOULD LIKE TO ASK ABOUT NO TEMPORARY SIGNAGE, ACTUALLY THEY, THEY'RE ALLOWED TO PUT BANNERS, BUT IF THEY DO HAVE TO GO THROUGH AN APPROVAL FOR A, A PERMANENT SIGN THROUGH, THROUGH A CITY PERMIT, SO, OKAY.
I, I WASN'T GONNA PUSH THAT ONE.
UM, ALRIGHT, I THINK WE'RE READY FOR AN ALTERNATE MOTION NOW.
ITEM SIX WITH CONDITIONS OF HOURS NINE TO FIVE, MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY.
UM, AND, AND ARE NO, NO OUTDOOR SPEAKERS.
AND THOSE ARE THE TWO CONDITIONS.
THERE IS A MOTION FOR APPROVAL OF ITEM NUMBER SIX WITH THE CONDITIONS OF NINE TO FIVE, MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY FOR HOURS OF OPERATION AND NO OUTDOOR SPEAKERS.
ALRIGHT, I'M GONNA GO WITH COMMISSIONER GREATHOUSE.
SHE WAS CLOSER, GOT TO ME FASTER.
ANY DISCUSSION COMMISSIONERS TO MY LEFT.
[01:20:01]
COMMISSIONER GREATHOUSE? YEAH.UM, I JUST WANTED TO SAY THAT I THINK WITH THE ADDITION OF THE NO OUTDOOR SPEAKERS, UM, I'LL BE SUPPORTING THE MOTION.
UM, JUST BECAUSE, NOT NECESSARILY ANYTHING TO DO WITH YOUR OPERATION, BUT JUST GOING FORWARD IN THE FUTURE, IF YOU WERE TO SELL THE PROPERTY, THERE COULD BE OTHER PEOPLE THAT WOULD BE ABLE TO OPERATE.
SO ZONING'S IN PERPETUITY, NOTHING AGAINST YOU OR, OR YOUR RIGHT OPERATION OR HOW THAT'S PERCEIVED.
JUST WANNA MAKE SURE THAT YOU UNDERSTAND THAT.
ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION? COMMISSIONERS TO MY LEFT.

ALRIGHT, WE ARE MOVING ON TO ITEM NUMBER 10.
MY NAME IS ELIZABETH STEWART, ZONING PLANNER WITH DEVELOPMENT SERVICES.
ITEM NUMBER 10 IS LOCATED AT TEN EIGHT SIX FIVE WEST LOOP 1604 NORTH GOING FROM C THREE TO MF 25 WITH ALL OVERLAYS STAYING THE SAME.
THERE ARE TWO NOTICES SENT OUT.
ONE IN FAVOR FROM THE PROPERTY OWNER, ONE OPPOSED.
AND THERE'S NO NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATION WITHIN 200 FEET.
THE EXISTING C THREE GENERAL COMMERCIAL DISTRICT IS AN APPROPRIATE ZONING FOR THE PROPERTY AND SURROUNDING AREA.
THE PROPOSED MF 25 LOW DENSITY MULTIFAMILY DISTRICT IS ALSO APPROPRIATE AND ALLOWS FOR AN ALTERNATIVE HOUSING TYPE ALONG THE WEST LOOP 1604 NORTH CORRIDOR.
THE PROPOSED MF 25 LOW DENSITY MULTIFAMILY DISTRICT IS ALSO A GOOD TRANSITIONAL ZONING DISTRICT ALONG THE CORRIDOR.
STAFF DOES NOT FIND EVIDENCE OF LIFE LIKELY ADVERSE IMPACTS ON NEIGHBORING LANDS IN RELATION TO THE ZONING CHANGE REQUEST.
THE PROPOSED USE IS CONSISTENT WITH THE ESTABLISHED DEVELOPMENT PATTERN OF THE SURROUNDING AREA.
PROPERTY TO THE NORTH OF THE SUB SUBJECT SITE IS A RESIDENTIAL SUBDIVISION.
THE PROPOSED MF 25 LOW DENSITY MULTIFAMILY DISTRICT IS A DOWN ZONING OF AN INTENSE C THREE GENERAL COMMERCIAL ZONING.
DISTRICT STAFF RECOMMENDS APPROVAL STAFF IS AVAILABLE FOR QUESTIONS AND THE APPLICANT IS PRESENT.
ALRIGHT, IF THE APPLICANT'S REPRESENTATIVE CAN COME FORWARD, PLEASE, I SHOULD HAVE A PRESENTATION FOR THIS AS WELL.
GOOD AFTERNOON, JAMES MCKNIGHT 1 1 2 EAST PECAN.
MR. MCKNIGHT, YOU'RE GONNA HAVE TO START SAYING APPLICANT'S PRESENTATION ITEM NUMBER.
I'D LIKE TO BUILD ANTICIPATION.
WHAT CAN I SAY?
SO THE STAFF ALREADY SHOWED YOU THE, UH, LOCATION OF THE SITE.
AND AS YOU CAN SEE, EVERYTHING AROUND US IS EITHER ZONED C THREE TO THE NORTH OF US OR IT'S ACTUALLY INDUSTRIAL TO THE OTHER SIDE OF US.
AND ACTUALLY, ALL OF THIS AREA IS SUBURBAN TIER IS PART OF THE NORTH SECTOR PLAN.
SO WE HAVE A PLAN AMENDMENT AS PART OF THIS TO BE A GENERAL URBAN TIER, WHICH YOU CAN SEE THERE'S A GENERAL URBAN TIER TO THE NORTH OF US.
AND THERE'S MORE ACTUALLY TO THE SOUTH OF US.
SO IT'S, IT CREATES KIND OF THIS, UM, TRANSITIONAL AREA BETWEEN WHAT'S TO THE SOUTH OF US AND WHAT'S TO THE NORTH OF US.
THIS IS A PROPOSED SITE PLAN FOR HOW WE'RE GONNA FIT, UH, THE MULTIFAMILY UNITS.
WE'RE PROPOSING AROUND, AT THIS TIME 360 UNITS, WHICH IS ABOUT 20 TO 21 UNITS PER ACRE.
SO IT'S STILL, UM, AGAIN, THIS IS NOT A, A HIGH DENSITY PRODUCT AND STILL PLENTY OF ROOM ON THIS 18 ACRES.
UM, AT THIS TIME, IF YOU COULD GO BACK A COUPLE OF SLIDES TO THE ZONING PLEASE.
SO I BELIEVE THAT THE, UH, OPPOSITION THAT WE'RE GETTING IS FROM THE, UM, PROPERTY OWNER REPRESENTATIVE TO THE, TO THE WEST SOUTHWEST OF US BECAUSE OF THE BUFFER IT COULD CREATE.
BUT I JUST WANNA SAY AHEAD OF TIME THAT, UH, WE ARE OPEN TO WORKING WITH THEM ON, UH, PRE COMING UP WITH SOME KIND OF SOLUTION SO THAT THEY'RE NOT STUCK NECESSARILY WITH A 30 FOOT BUFFER ALL OF A SUDDEN.
BECAUSE AT THE MOMENT, C THREE AND I ONE DO NOT CREATE A BUFFER YARD, THE CREATION OF THE MF 25, THAT DOES THEN, UH, CAUSE THAT BUFFER YARD.
BUT WE'RE DEFINITELY OPEN TO WORKING WITH THEM ABOUT THAT.
SO I'M HERE FOR ANY QUESTIONS.
[01:25:02]
THERE IS ONE PERSON SIGNED IN TO SPEAK CDI.SIR, IF YOU WOULD INTRODUCE YOURSELF, GIVE US YOUR ADDRESS AND TELL US ABOUT YOUR OPINION OF THIS PRO, PRO, UH, PROJECT.
MY NAME IS CDI 19 2 0 7 HABITAT CO.
UH, LET ME MAKE A CORRECTION TO JOE JAMES.
SAID JAMES, MY PROPERTY IS THE NORTH SIDE, NOT THE SOUTH SIDE.
AND ALSO MAKE A CORRECTION TO A STAFF REPRESENTATION IF STAFF.
STAFF SAID THAT THE NORTH SIDE IS RESIDENTIAL.
IF YOU WANT TO LOOK AT THEIR NORTH, UH, ACTUALLY THE WAY JAMES REPRESENTED IT, MY PROPERTY, IF YOU LOOK AT THE, THE 200 FOOT RADIUS, WOULD YOU BRING THAT 200 FOOT RADIUS? YEAH, MY PROPERTY IS RIGHT THERE AT 200 FOOT RADIUS.
THE PROPERTY LINE ON THE OPPOSITE SIDE IS RIGHT AT 200.
BY BASICALLY APPROVING THIS ONE, I'LL BE FORCED TO BASICALLY HAVE A 30 FOOT SETBACK LINE.
AND THEN I'M GONNA HAVE AN ALLEYWAY GOING ALL THE WAY BACK.
UH, TALKING TO JAMES AND TO THE, UH, REPRESENTATIVE OF THE APPLICANT.
THEY'RE WILLING TO GO THERE AND PUT A 15 FOOT, UH, BASICALLY BUFFER ZONE OF C THREE WITHIN THEIR PROPERTY, WHICH IS ALL PARKING LOT.
THAT'S NOT GONNA MAKE ANY DIFFERENCE WITH THAT.
I WOULD BE AGREEABLE 'CAUSE IT'S NOT GONNA IMPACT MY PROJECT.
IF YOU ALL HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, I'M MORE HAPPY TO ANSWER.
WE'LL CALL YOU UP IF WE HAVE ANY QUESTIONS.
THAT'S ALL THAT'S SIGNED INTO SPEAK.
THIS IS A DISTRICT SEVEN CASE, SO COMMISSIONER SIPES TO YOU INITIALLY FOR QUESTIONS.
SO, UH, MR. TI IS THAT, IS THAT HOW YOU SAY? SAY TI TI THANK YOU.
UM, MR. TI UH, SAID THAT Y'ALL WERE, UM, TALKING WITH EACH OTHER ABOUT, UH, RIGHT.
YEAH, SO IF WE, UM, REDUCED THE AREA THAT WE WERE REQUESTING TO LEAVE A STRIP ON OUR SIDE, THAT WOULD RE REMOVE THE SEPARATION, THE NEED FOR A BUFFER ON HIS PROPERTY.
AND SO IF WE JUST DIDN'T HAVE TIME TO PUT THE FIELD NOTES TOGETHER BEFORE TODAY, OTHERWISE WE CAN, UM, CAT CORRECT ME IF I'M WRONG, WE CAN RE REDUCE THE AMOUNT OF ACREAGE THAT WE'RE REQUESTING AND SO IT WOULD NOT AFFECT ANY THAT.
THAT WAS GONNA BE MY SECOND QUESTION WAS THE CAT, BUT, UM, ALRIGHT.
I DON'T HAVE ANY OTHER QUESTIONS.
ALL THANK YOU COMMISSIONER SIPES.
UH, ANY FURTHER QUESTIONS? COMMISSIONERS TO MY RIGHT.
UH, COMMISSIONER SIPES TO YOU FOR POTENTIAL MOTION? I'M STILL WRITING, BUT NO, THAT'S FINE.
I'M GOING TO MAKE A, A MOTION FOR APPROVAL AND ENCOURAGE, UH, THE APPLICANT TO, UH, CONTINUE TO WORK WITH THE ADJACENT PROPERTY ELDER, UM, ON, ON THE BUFFER.
UM, AND, UH, HAVE FIELD NOTES READY.
HOPEFULLY BY THE TIME THAT, UH, IT GOES TO CITY COUNCIL, BUT I THINK THIS IS A, AS, AS WAS STATED, UM, I THINK IT'S A, A NICE TRANSITION.
UM, YOU KNOW, I, I UNDERSTAND THAT LESLIE ROAD IS OUTSIDE THE CITY LIMITS, BUT THERE IS RESIDENTIAL ALONG THAT STREET AND, UM, I THINK THAT GOING TO AN MF 25 VERSUS A C THREE, UM, UH, PROVIDES A GOOD TRANSITION FROM, FROM, UH, THE HEAVIER USES OF COMMERCIAL.
SO MY MOTION WAS FOR APPROVAL, RIGHT? THERE IS A MOTION FOR APPROVAL.
UH, ANY DISCUSSION? COMMISSIONERS TO MY RIGHT.
UH, LIKE COMMISSIONER SIPES, I WOULD ENCOURAGE THAT THE FIELD NOTES ARE COMPLETED BY, LOOKS LIKE Y'ALL ARE GOING TO COUNCIL ON AUGUST 4TH.
BUT YOU CAN ENDEAVOR TO GET THAT DONE.
THE MOTION IS FOR APPROVAL OF ITEM NUMBER 10, UH, BY COMMISSIONER S SIPES.
AND HOW DID, HOW I, WHO DID THE SECOND COMMISSIONER WHITE WAS THE SECOND, SORRY.
[01:30:01]
FUENTES? YES.COMMISSIONER LU GALL ALLEN? YES.
UH, LET'S MOVE ON TO ITEM NUMBER 11, PLEASE.
MY NAME IS ANNE BENAVIDEZ, ZONING PLANNER WITH DEVELOPMENT SERVICES.
ITEM NUMBER 11 IS LOCATED AT 6 0 6 VIRGINIA BOULEVARD.
GOING FROM RMM FOUR TO RMM FOUR CD WITH THE CONDITIONAL USE FOR A NON-COMMERCIAL PARKING LOT AND ALL OVERLAYS REMAINING THE SAME.
THERE WERE 41 NOTICES SENT OUT WITH ZERO RECEIVED BACK IN SUPPORT AND ONE RECEIVED BACK IN OPPOSITION.
THERE WAS NO RESPONSE FROM DENVER HEIGHTS.
STAFF DOES NOT FIND EVIDENCE OF LIKELY ADVERSE IMPACTS ON NEIGHBORING LANDS.
IN RELATION TO THE ZONING CHANGE REQUEST.
THERE IS AN ESTABLISHED PATTERN OF COMMERCIAL DEVELOPMENT IMMEDIATELY SURROUNDING THE SITE WITH INTENSITIES RAGING FROM NEIGHBORHOOD COMMERCIAL TWO, GENERAL COMMERCIAL RESTRICTIVE ALCOHOLIC SALES DISTRICT STAFF RECOMMENDS APPROVAL AND THE APPLICANT IS HERE TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS.
ALRIGHT, IF WE COULD HAVE THE APPLICANT PLEASE, SIR, IF YOU WOULD INTRODUCE YOURSELF.
TELL US YOUR ADDRESS AND TELL US WHY YOU'RE, WHY YOU'RE SEEKING THIS REZONING.
UM, THE, THE REASON WHY I WAS ASKING FOR THE REZONING IS, UM, I HAVE A BUSINESS RIGHT ACROSS THE STREET FROM IT.
CURRENTLY RIGHT NOW, MY EMPLOYEES ARE ACTUALLY CROSSING THE CONGESTED STREET TO BE ABLE TO GO AHEAD AND PARK AND WALK ACROSS THE STREET TO OUR, TO OUR FACILITY.
SO RIGHT NOW WHAT I'M NEEDING IS, UM, I WANTED TO REONE THIS RIGHT HERE.
'CAUSE ONE I NEED, 'CAUSE ONE, I NEED A ACTUAL ENTRANCE TO THE, UH, TO THE LOT.
UH, SO I CAN JUST MAKE THAT THEIR PARKING, UH, SPACE INSTEAD OF WHERE THEY'RE CURRENTLY PARKING RIGHT NOW ON THE HACKBERRY SIDE.
UH, IF WE HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, WE'LL CALL YOU BACK UP STAFF.
IS THERE ANY PUBLIC COMMENT? THERE'S NOBODY SIGNING TO SPEAK.
UH, COMMISSIONER WATSON, THIS IS A DISTRICT TWO CASE.
SO TO YOU FOR QUESTIONS, UH, COME FORWARD JUST A COUPLE OF CLARIFYING QUESTIONS, WHICH IS WHY I PULLED THIS TO INDIVIDUAL.
SO, UM, WHEN YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT EMPLOYEE PARKING, IN SOME OF THE RESPONSES WE GOT THERE WAS MENTION OF COMMERCIAL TRUCKS OR THOSE COMMERCIAL TRUCKS JUST LIKE VEHICLES FOR YOUR BUSINESS THAT ARE BEING PARKED THERE.
HOW IS THE SITE CURRENTLY? RIGHT NOW? IT IS CURRENTLY WHERE I HAVE 'EM, BUT I ALSO HAVE A, A BIGGER LOT RIGHT ACROSS THE STREET ON THE HACKBERRY SIDE WHERE MY ACTUAL EMPLOYEES ARE PARKING.
SO WHAT I'M GONNA DO IS I'M PULLING EVERYBODY FROM THERE SO I CAN GO AHEAD AND TRANSFER EVERYTHING TO THE OTHER SIDE.
AND, UM, JUST A CLARIFYING QUESTION FOR STAFF, SINCE THIS CAME UP IN THE LETTER OF OPPOSITION WE RECEIVED, CAN YOU PLEASE, UH, REMIND US OF WHAT THE DEFINITION IS OF COMMERCIAL PARKING LOT AND NON-COMMERCIAL PARKING LOT? A NON-COMMERCIAL, A COMMERCIAL PARKING LOT IS A PAID PARKING LOT.
A NON-COMMERCIAL PARKING LOT IS A FREE PARKING LOT.
UH, SO JUST AS A CLARIFYING QUESTION FOR STAFF, AGAIN, THEORETICALLY YOU COULDN'T CHARGE TO PARK ON THIS SITE IF THERE WAS AN EVENT AT A NEARBY FACILITY.
TEMPORARY USES ARE TREATED A LITTLE DIFFERENTLY IN THE CODE, UH, BUT IT CANNOT BE A PERMANENT THING.
THANK YOU COMMISSIONER WATSON.
ANY QUESTIONS? COMMISSIONERS? TO MY LEFT.
COMMISSIONER HU UH, QUESTION FOR THE APPLICANT.
CAN YOU COME BACK AND EXPLAIN WHERE YOUR PARKING LOTS ARE LOCATED? I'M A DIFFICULT TIME UNDERSTANDING.
OUR PARKING IS ACTUALLY LOCATED, UH, IF YOU GO BACK TO THE OTHER ONE OR HE'S, IT'S ACTUALLY ON THE HACKBERRY SIDE RIGHT THERE.
WHICH IS, UH, I THINK IT'S, SORRY, MY EYESIGHT'S NOT THAT WELL, MR. LOPEZ, THERE'S A POINTER THERE.
IT'S, YEAH, THAT'S SIDE, THAT'S POINTING THERE.
OH, THERE'S A BUTTON ON THE SIDE.
THE ACTUAL PARKING RIGHT NOW IS HERE.
AND THEN YOU WANT TO USE THE, UH, VIRGINIA.
'CAUSE RIGHT THERE THE ACTUAL HACKBERRY SIDE.
THERE'S AN ACTUALLY LIKE A MAIN STREET.
THE, UH, VIRGINIA SIDE RIGHT THERE IS A RESIDENTIAL STREET.
IT'S ACTUALLY, THEY'RE THE ONLY, THE ONLY THING THEY'RE GONNA
[01:35:01]
HAVE TO WALK IS LIKE HALF THE DISTANCE FROM WHERE THEY'RE AT RIGHT NOW.AND DON'T FIGHT THE ACTUAL TRAFFIC AS, AS THEY'RE WALKING ACROSS.
SO RIGHT NOW YOU HAVE YOUR, UM, YOUR WORK TRUCKS PARKED ON THE VIRGINIA, UH, BOULEVARD AT UH, LOT RIGHT? A OUR TRUCKS? YES.
ANY FURTHER QUESTIONS? COMMISSIONERS? TO MY RIGHT.
COMMISSIONER WATSON, BACK TO YOU FOR POTENTIAL MOTION AND DISCUSSION.
OKAY, WELL JUST, THE REASON I'M PULLING IT TO INDIVIDUAL IS SO THAT WE CAN CLARIFY THIS 'CAUSE IT'S A LITTLE BIT CONFUSING.
UM, SO I, I, UM, COMMEND THE APPLICANT FOR LOOKING OUT FOR THE SAFETY OF HIS EMPLOYEES.
THIS IS A COMMERCIAL ARTERIAL IN THE EAST SIDE AND THIS IS A LOCALLY OWNED BUSINESS THAT IS A GREAT BENEFIT TO THE NEIGHBORHOOD AND IT'S A GREAT OPERATOR.
UM, IT'S COMPATIBLE WITH A LOT OF EXISTING ZONING IN THE AREA.
UM, SO I AM VERY MUCH IN FAVOR OF THIS.
I AM GOING TO MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE THE REQUEST TO REZONE THIS TO RMM FOUR WITH CONDITIONAL USE.
UM, AND LEAVE IT TO ANYONE ELSE WHO WANTS TO CHAT.
THE MOTION IS FOR APPROVAL OF ITEM NUMBER 11.
IS THERE A SECOND? MOTION? COMMISSIONER BARTOS IS THE SECOND.
DISCUSSION COMMISSIONERS TO MY LEFT COMMISSIONER TO MY RIGHT.
THE MOTION IS FOR APPROVAL OF ITEM NUMBER 11 BY COMMISSIONER WATSON WITH A SECOND BY COMMISSIONER BARTOS.
COMMISSIONER LU GALL HOLLAND? YES.
ALRIGHT, WE'RE GONNA MOVE ON TO ITEM NUMBER 13.
MY NAME IS KORIN HOOPER, SENIOR PLANNER WITH DEVELOPMENT SERVICES.
ITEM NUMBER 13 IS A REQUEST FOR A CHANGE IN ZONING FROM C TWO, UH, COMMERCIAL, UH, TO C TWO SS, UH, COMMERCIAL, UH, WITH THE OVERLAYS REMAINING THE SAME.
THE ONLY DIFFERENCE IS WITH THIS REZONING THERE WOULD BE A SPECIFIC USE AUTHORIZATION FOR A PARTY HOUSE, RECEPTION HALL OR MEETING FACILITY.
AND THEN THIS IS LOCATED AT 36 42 2 36 78 KBRA.
THERE WERE 56 NOTICES MAILED OUT.
ZERO RETURNED IN FAVOR, ZERO IN OPPOSITION, AND NO FORMAL RESPONSE FROM THE LOMA PARK NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATION.
AS OF THIS TIME, UM, THE EXISTING C TWO COMMERCIAL IS AN APPROPRIATE ZONING FOR THE PROPERTY AND SURROUNDING AREA.
UH, THE PROPOSED C TWO SS IS ALSO A, AN APPROPRIATE USE, UH, THUS ALSO GIVING IT THE ABILITY TO HAVE A SPECIFIC USE AUTHORIZATION FOR A PARTY HOUSE RECEPTION HALL OR MEETING FACILITY.
AS YOU CAN SEE IN THE SITE PLAN, THE REQUEST DOES NOT APPEAR TO CONFLICT WITH ANY PUBLIC POLICY OF THE WEST SECTOR PLAN.
AND IT IS ALIGNED WITH THE GOALS INCLUDING, UH, HAVING AN ECONOMICALLY SUSTAINABLE COMMUNITY IN WHICH RESIDENTS HAVE A VARIETY OF EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITIES AND, UH, SUPPORTING INFILL AND REDEVELOPMENT OPPORTUNITIES, UH, WHEN THEY ARE WELL-PLANNED AND INCENTIVIZED.
WITHIN LOOP FOUR 10 STAFF RECOMMENDS APPROVAL.
UH, THE APPLICANT IS PRESENT AND THE, UH, PRESIDENT OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATION IS ALSO PRESENT AND SIGNED UP TO SPEAK.
IF THE APPLICANT CAN COME FORWARD, INTRODUCE THEMSELVES, GIVE US YOUR ADDRESS AND TELL US ABOUT YOUR PROJECT.
UH, MY ADDRESS IS 7 2 5 4 ENCHANTED FLAME STREET, SAN ANTONIO, TEXAS.
UM, I'VE OWNED A PROPERTY 33 YEARS AND, UH, USED TO BE A BALLROOM FOR ABOUT 45 YEARS AND, UH, WE CONVERTED IT TO AN ADULT DAYCARE FACILITY.
AND, UM, THERE MAY BE THREE ADULT DAYCARE FACILITIES LEFT IN SAN ANTONIO.
SO FOR SOME REASON, AND NOW I'D LIKE TO CONVERT IT BACK TO A BALLROOM, UH, IN LIGHT OF COVID, EVERYBODY WANTS TO GET TOGETHER AND HAVE A LITTLE FAMILY GATHERING.
IT'S NOT REAL BIG, BUT, UH, YOU KNOW, IT'S BEEN THERE 45 YEARS.
[01:40:01]
QUINCEANERA WEDDING, WHAT HAVE YOU.AND, UM, IF THERE'S ANY QUESTIONS, I'D BE HAPPY TO ANSWER.
UM, IS THERE ANY PUBLIC COMMENT? TERRY KILMER? YES, MS. KILMER.
I, UM, I MOVED IN LOMA PARK IN 1954.
THAT HAS BEEN MY NEIGHBORHOOD.
I HAVE SOMETIMES NOT BEEN A VERY GOOD NEIGHBOR, BUT I TELL YOU WHAT, I DON'T WANT ANYBODY TO COME IN AND MESS ME UP.
UH, THE SITUATION THAT MR. SANTANO TALKS ABOUT, UH, THERE HAS BEEN SOME NEGATIVE ISSUES IN BEHIND THE BUILDING AND WHENEVER IT WAS A NIGHTCLUB, AND THEN THERE'S SOME RESIDENCES JUST ACROSS THE, THE, THE ALLEY THERE THAT WOULD AFFECT THE PEOPLE AND HAD AFFECTED THE PEOPLE WITH A NOISE LEVEL.
NOW I LIVE FIVE BLOCKS AWAY FROM THERE, AND AT TIMES WHEN THEY HAD THIS OTHER BIG STUFF, I COULD HEAR THEM ALL THE WAY OVER THERE.
SO THE ONLY THING NOW THAT WE, MR. SANTANA AND I HAVE TALKED ABOUT IT HAS BEEN THAT, UH, HE SAYS THAT IT BEING, UH, UM, A HOMELESS MECCA BACK THERE, THAT HE'S GOING TO CLEAN IT UP, THAT HE'S GOING TO PUT A HIGH FENCE TO.
IT WOULD NOT AFFECT THE PEOPLE THAT GO TO THE PARTY HOUSE, THAT HE WILL HAVE SECURITY, WHICH IS VERY IMPORTANT DUE TO THE, UH, WE HAVE A METHADONE CLINIC RIGHT ACROSS THE STREET AND SO FORTH.
SO, YOU KNOW, WE HAVE TO BE EXTRA CAREFUL.
SO HE PROMISED, AND I HAVE IT IN LETTER, THAT HE WILL HAVE SECURITY INSIDE AND OUT AND IF SOMEBODY BECOMES DISRUPTIVE, HE WILL IMMEDIATELY CALL THE POLICE.
SO I THINK THAT HE WILL TAKE CARE OF HIS PROPERTY.
BUT WITH CONDITIONS, THE FENCING, THE LIGHT, THE SECURITY.
MS. KILMER, IF YOU WOULD, CAN YOU JUST SAY YOUR NAME AND YOUR ADDRESS PLEASE? OKAY.
MY ADDRESS 6 5 5 MARIA ELENA DRIVE, SAN ANTONIO 7 8 2 2 8.
ALRIGHT, THANK YOU MS. KILMER.
UM, I THINK, IS THAT ANY FURTHER PUBLIC COMMENT? THAT'S ALL.
SO WHAT, UH, AND I, YOU, YOU MADE IT CLEAR IS THE CONDITIONS, I UNDERSTAND THE CONDITIONS THAT ARE SOME THAT WE CAN DO AS ZONING COMMISSION, AND I'LL ASK SOME QUESTIONS OF STAFF TO GET THAT INFORMATION.
AND YOU CAN LISTEN AND THEN I MIGHT CALL YOU BACK UP AND SAY IF THAT TAKES CARE OF IT.
BECAUSE IT'S MY NEIGHBORHOOD, I UNDERSTAND THAT.
AND HE'S THE OWNER, SO HE'S BETTER TAKE CARE OF IT.
ALRIGHT, MR. CENTENO, UH, LET ME START WITH QUESTION.
UH, THERE BEING NO FURTHER PUBLIC COMMENT, YOU CAN, UH, REBUT I GUESS MS. KILMER IF YOU LIKE.
WE HAVE HAD A PROBLEM IN THE ALLEY, UH, WITH, UH, I GUESS HOMELESS.
UH, AND, UH, I'VE CALLED THE POLICE.
UH, I'VE ASKED THEM TO LEAVE AND, UM, THE POLICE HAVE COME, THEY'VE RESPONDED, GOT THEIR NAMES AND TOLD THEM, IF WE CATCH YOU HERE AGAIN, YOU'RE GONNA BE ARRESTED.
SO, YOU KNOW, WE'RE, WE'RE TRYING OUR HARDEST.
AND, UH, I WILL PROBABLY APPLY TO PUT A FENCE IN THE BACK OF THE BUILDING.
UH, BUT I'M WILLING TO, TO SPEND THE MONEY TO KEEP IT SAFE, MAKE IT SAFE.
UH, I'M JUST, UH, WE'VE HAD PEOPLE DIE IN THE BACK OF THE, OF THE BUILDING.
THEY JUST, YOU KNOW, HOMELESS, YOU KNOW.
SO YEAH, WE ARE GONNA TACKLE THAT AND, UH, WE'RE GONNA HAVE A LOT OF FAMILIES THERE IN THIS.
SO I, I, I NEED EVERYTHING REALLY SAFE.
AND YES, WE WILL HAVE SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT, UM, I GUESS MONITORING THE EVENT FOR THE DURATION AND MAKE SURE NOBODY GETS OUTTA HAND.
UM, MY, THIS IS A DISTRICT FIVE CASE, SO I'M GONNA TAKE THE FIRST STAB AT QUESTIONS, UM, STAFF.
THIS IS A SPECIFIC USE AUTHORIZATION.
UH, WHAT KIND OF, UH, CONDITIONS CAN WE PLACE ON THIS KIND OF APPLICATION THAT ARE ENFORCEABLE AS PART OF THE ORDINANCE? UH, YOU CAN DO HOURS OF OPERATION.
YOU CAN DO, UH, SOLID SCREEN FENCING.
[01:45:01]
IF, IF, IF FENCING IS TO BE CONSIDERED, THIS IS UNIQUE BECAUSE IT'S ALREADY AN EXISTING SHOPPING CENTER.SO IF YOU WANTED TO FURTHER BUFFER IT OR SCREEN IT, I WOULD ADVISE ADDING THAT AS A CONDITION.
UM, YOU COULD DO, UH, DOWNWARD LIGHTING AGAIN, BUT AGAIN, IT'S AL IT'S ALREADY REQUIRED.
UM, AND NOISES ALREADY CONTROLLED BY, UH, OTHER CITY CODES.
UH, YOU COULD HAVE NO OUTDOOR SPEAKERS SO THAT WAY IT DOESN'T PROJECT OUT.
UH, BUT, UM, I DON'T BELIEVE THIS KIND MOST, I THINK IT'S ALL ENCLOSED FROM WHAT I REMEMBER AS A KID.
UM, BUT, UH, FOR FAMILY GATHERINGS AND, UM, BUT YEAH.
BUT JUST, YOU WEREN'T IMPLYING ANYTHING ELSE, MS. HERNANDEZ? NO, I WAS
IT'S, IT'S REALLY A RECEPTION HALL WHERE YOU HAVE THE QUINCEANERAS, THE WEDDING, UM, RECEPTIONS, THE ANNIVERSARY PARTIES.
THAT'S WHY I REMEMBER AS A, AS A CHILD GOING THERE.
UH, IF, WELL, LET'S START WITH HOURS OF OPERATION.
UM, NOBODY WANTS A PARTY DURING THE WEEK.
IT'S MAINLY SATURDAYS, UH, OCCASIONALLY A SUNDAY, UH, DURING THE DAY.
BUT, UH, OUR HOURS OF OPERATION WOULD BE TILL ABOUT MIDNIGHT.
UH, I THINK THAT'S SUFFICIENT FOR FAMILIES, CHILDREN INVOLVED IN EVERYTHING.
SO I WOULD SAY THAT WOULD BE REASONABLE.
AND, UM, WE WILL HAVE, LIKE I SAID, SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT OFF DUTY.
UM, AND, UH, MY, MY BROTHER WILL BE RUNNING IT.
HE'S PRESENT, SO HE'LL BE THERE ALL THE TIME.
BUT YEAH, I, IT'S PRETTY MUCH ONE DAY A WEEK.
HOW ABOUT, HOW ABOUT I DO THIS, UH, IF I WERE TO SAY MONDAY THROUGH THURSDAY, 9:00 AM TO 10:00 PM WOULD THAT BE ACCEPTABLE? PERFECT.
FRIDAY AND SATURDAY, 9:00 AM TO MIDNIGHT.
SUNDAY, UH, 9:00 AM TO 8:00 PM WOULD THAT BE ACCEPTABLE? YEAH, THAT WOULD BE FINE.
ALRIGHT, LET'S GO ON TO THE NEXT ONE.
YOU'VE MENTIONED THAT YOU WOULD BE WILLING TO DO THAT.
IS THAT LIKE TOTALLY YOU CAN'T SEE THROUGH IT OR, SO I'M TALKING A CHAIN LINK FENCE.
SO SOLID SCREEN IS LIKE A WOOD FENCE.
OR, OR I WAS JUST THINKING JUST A REGULAR, JUST A REGULAR FENCE.
KEEP EVERYBODY AWAY FROM THE BACK.
WELL THAT WAY THEY CAN SEE THROUGH, SEE IF THE NEIGHBORS CAN SEE ACTIVITY.
IF I HAVE A FENCE, THEY CAN'T SEE WHAT'S ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE FENCE.
THAT'S A GOOD POINT, MR. AND, AND I RELY ON THE NEIGHBORS.
THEY, THEY DO A REALLY GOOD JOB OF, YOU KNOW, KEEPING THE, OKAY.
IF YOU WOULD, WELL YOU CAN, YOU CAN JUST SIGNAL TO ME, I THINK I DON'T WANT YOU NECESSARILY TO GET UP.
I MAY BE OLD, BUT I STILL MOVE.
ALRIGHT, SO MS. KILMER, THERE ARE SOME THINGS THAT WE CAN DO AS A ZONING COMMISSION.
AND MS. HERNANDEZ WENT OVER SOME OF THEM.
UH, WE JUST WENT OVER SOME OF THE ONES THAT MR. ENO WILL AGREE TO.
UM, SO WE'RE LIMITING THE HOURS OF OPERATION.
THAT SOUND OKAY TO YOU? THAT SOUNDS GREAT TO ME.
UH, NO OUTDOOR SPEAKERS TO TRY TO MITIGATE THEMSELVES? DEFINITELY.
UM, WE CAN'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT SECURITY.
THE SECURITY, WE CAN'T, WE CAN'T ENFORCE THAT AS A, AS A ZONING COMMISSIONER.
UM, SO OUR ZONING COMMISSION, WE CAN'T DO THAT.
UH, BUT I DID WANT YOUR OPINION ON THE FENCE.
THERE IS THE BACK OF THE SHOPPING CENTER, THEN THERE'S AN ALLEY.
UH, SINCE I WORKED WITH KIDS AND JUVENILE AND SO FORTH LIKE THAT, WE USED TO, WE USED TO CLEAN IT UP BECAUSE THEY HAD ALREADY MADE APARTMENTS AND EVERYTHING BACK THERE.
WELL, NOW IT CLEAN IT AND, BUT IT IS BEGINNING TO GROW AGAIN BY PUTTING THAT FENCE IN THERE.
IT WILL KEEP THE HOMELESS OUT OF TRYING TO SNEAK INTO THE PARTY HOUSE.
AND ALSO IT, THEY, THEY CANNOT GO INTO THE PARTY HOUSE AND HURT THE PEOPLE THAT MIGHT BE MAYBE ON THE BACK DOOR OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT.
AND, AND I GUESS MY ONLY QUESTION IS, DO YOU THINK THERE'S SOME BENEFIT IN HAVING THE FENCE BE SOMETHING
[01:50:01]
THAT YOU CAN'T SEE THROUGH? WELL, I'M NOT A FENCE PERSON, SO I, I I WOULDN'T KNOW.WELL, I, I THINK THIS WHATEVER, WHATEVER, I THINK WHATEVER IS THE BEST FOR MY COMMUNITY.
THE BEST FOR, FOR THE BUSINESS.
NOW, THE REASON I'M BEING SO PICKY IS THAT THE CITY GRANTED, UH, UH, HOMELESS SHELTERS ON THE NORTH SIDE OF RA AND THEY CLOSED DOWN, UH, UH, UH, CHILDREN'S, UH, DAYCARE, OPEN UP A METHADONE CLINIC.
I MEANT, HEY, WE HAVE CHOPPED LIVER AS FAR AS THE CITY'S CONCERNED.
SO WE HAVE TO BE EXTRA CAREFUL.
I THINK, AM I BEING UNREASONABLE? I DON'T BELIEVE SO.
I THINK, I THINK YOU'VE ANSWERED MY QUESTIONS THOUGH.
UH, ANY QUESTIONS? COMMISSIONERS TO MY LEFT? YES.
MR. SANTANO, IF I, IF YOU DON'T MIND, I DO YOU HAVE A LICENSE FOR CATERING OR HOW ARE YOU? NO, UH, I'M JUST THE LANDLORD.
WE'RE PRETTY MUCH JUST DECIDED TO OPEN THE BALLROOM AGAIN.
UM, WE'RE NOT LICENSED IN ANY WAY.
WE WOULD PROBABLY CONTRACT ALL THAT.
SO YOU DON'T HAVE A T A B C LICENSE? NO, NO, I DON'T.
SO ANYONE OPERATING RENTS THEIR FACILITY AND HAS TO BRING BOTH THE CATERING AND THE T A B C? THEY HAVE TO HAVE THEIR OWN.
I DON'T, I'M NOT, I'M NOT INTERESTED IN ALCOHOL OTHER THAN, YOU KNOW, I CAN'T TELL FAMILIES THEY CAN'T HAVE ANY SPIRITS, YOU KNOW, AT AN EVENT.
UH, VEN, I, I'M GONNA RELY ON VENDORS FOR THAT PRETTY MUCH PUT IT ALL TOGETHER.
I'M JUST GONNA RENT THE FACILITY AND MAKE SURE IT'S SAFE.
BELIEVE ME, THAT WILL BE THE BEST.
ANY FURTHER QUESTIONS? COMMISSIONERS? TO MY LEFT.
COMMISSIONER SIPES, THIS IS A QUESTION FOR STAFF REGARDING SOLID FENCE, UM, EXISTING.
IF THERE'S AN EXISTING CHAIN LINK FENCE NOW AND THE MOTION IS MADE FOR A SOLID SCREEN FENCE, CAN THOSE INSERTS THAT USED TO BE POPULAR BACK IN THE DAY THAT THE GREEN ONES YEAH, THE GREEN AND WHITE ONES, STUFF LIKE THAT ARE, DOES THAT QUALIFY AS A SOLID SCREEN FENCE? THAT WOULD QUALIFY AS LONG AS WE COULDN'T SEE THROUGH THOSE GREEN SLATS.
'CAUSE THAT'S WHAT WE, UH, THEY USED TO DO, BUT THEY'RE MADE OF PLASTIC.
YOU CAN PUT 'EM THROUGH, BUT YEAH.
AS LONG AS YOU COULDN'T SEE THROUGH THEM.
ALRIGHT, ANY FURTHER QUESTIONS? COMMISSIONERS? TO MY RIGHT.
UM, YOU KNOW, I THINK HAVING THIS AS AN ONGOING CONCERN, UH, WILL BENEFIT THIS COMMUNITY.
I BELIEVE IT WILL BENEFIT YOUR NEIGHBORS AND ALL OF THOSE PEOPLE.
I THINK IT WILL HOPEFULLY DISCOURAGE FOLKS FROM GOING INTO THAT ALLEY.
UH, I AM GOING TO, UH, MAKE A MOTION FOR APPROVAL WITH CONDITIONS.
UH, ONE OF THOSE CONDITIONS WILL NOT BE THE SOLID SCREEN FENCE.
I THINK, UM, YOU KNOW, MR. CENTENO, I THINK IT'S PROBABLY WORTHWHILE THAT YOU HAVE A FENCE THERE.
I THINK FOR YOU TO SEE THROUGH IT FOR YOUR NEIGHBORS TO SEE THROUGH IT WILL INCREASE EVERYONE'S SECURITY.
UM, SO AT THIS TIME I MOVE FOR APPROVAL OF ITEM NUMBER 13 WITH THE FOLLOWING CONDITIONS, HOURS OF OPERATION MONDAY THROUGH THURSDAY, 9:00 AM TO 10:00 PM FRIDAY AND SATURDAY, 9:00 AM TO MIDNIGHT AND SUNDAY 9:00 AM TO 8:00 PM ADDITIONALLY, THERE WILL BE NO OUTDOOR SPEAKERS.
IS THERE A SECOND? SECOND THEN? ALRIGHT, THERE IS A SECOND FROM COMMISSIONER BARTOS.
TO MY LEFT, I I JUST WANNA MAKE ONE POINT VERY CLEAR.
I WORK WITH A LOT OF VENUE PLACES.
SO WITH MR. SANTANO, THOSE HOURS THAT YOU READ ARE FOR THE RENTAL, THAT THAT DOES NOT MEAN STAFF COULD BE THERE CLEANING UP AFTER 10 O'CLOCK OR ONE O'CLOCK OR TWO O'CLOCK.
I MEAN, THAT'S A STAFF CLEANING TIME OR STAFF TIME.
SO THIS IS THE OPERATING HOURS FOR, FOR THE PUBLIC AND THE RENTALS.
I JUST WANNA MAKE SURE AND THAT IS CORRECT, THAT THAT IS THE PUBLIC ACCESS PORTION OF THIS WITH THE HOURS OF OPERATION.
ALRIGHT, ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION? COMMISSIONERS? TO MY LEFT.
THE MOTION IS FOR APPROVAL OF ITEM 13 WITH CONDITIONS AS READ ON THE RECORD BY ME.
SECOND BY COMMISSIONER BOTTLES ROLL CALL.

UM, QUESTION ON THE MAY 17TH MINUTES.
UH, ACTUALLY ONE, ONE CORRECTION, ONE QUESTION.
UH, THE CORRECTION IS THE VOICEMAIL THAT ANDREA GARZA, IT STATES PRESIDENT OF WOODLAWN LAKE.
SHE'S ACTUALLY PRESIDENT OF MONTICELLO PARK, WHICH IS ADJACENT TO WOODLAWN LAKE I THINK.
I THINK HER, SHE WAS SPEAKING IN SUPPORT OF WOODLAWN LAKE, I THINK IS HOW IT WAS.
UM, THE, THEN THE QUESTION WAS, UH, APPLICANT WAS ASKED IF HE WOULD AMEND HIS REQUEST TO ONLY HAVE MUSIC FROM 4:00 PM TO 12:00 AM IS THAT MUSIC OR WAS THAT OUTDOOR AMPLIFICATION.
AND IS THAT THE SAME? WAS THE OUTDOOR AMPLIFICATION? OKAY.
SO WOULD YOU LIKE THAT TO BE YES.
