ITEM NUMBER 11, AFTERNOON, CHRIS MCCOLLIN, PLANNING COORDINATOR DEVELOPMENT SERVICES.
ITEM NUMBER 11 IS A CHANGE IN PLAN AMENDMENT FOR THE EXTRATERRITORIAL JURISDICTION MILITARY PROTECTION AREA DOWN OFF OF LACKLAND.
THE ACTUAL ADDRESS IS, UH, 1 0 7 8 7 MARBACH ROAD, CHANGING IT FROM COMMUNITY COMMERCIAL TO BUSINESS INNOVATION.
THERE WERE 80 NOTICES MAILED OUT, UH, ZERO IN FAVOR, ONE OPPOSED AND NO REGISTERED.
UH, NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATIONS, UH, THE APPLICANT SEEKS TO AMEND THE EXTRATERRITORIAL JURISDICTION.
MILITARY PROTECTION AREA, LAND USE USE AS STATED FROM COMMER COMMUNITY COMMERCIAL TO BUSINESS INNOVATION.
MIXED USE BASED ON THE IMMEDIATELY ADJACENT LAND USE CATEGORY OF URBAN LOAD DENSITY RESIDENTIAL.
THE PROPOSED BUSINESS INNOVATION, MIXED USE LAND USE IS NOT APPROPRIATE FOR THE AREA IMMEDIATELY.
ADJACENT PROPERTIES ARE INCLUDE SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL USE.
UH, LAND USE TO THE WEST ACROSS MARBACH CONSISTS OF URBAN LOAD DENSITY RESIDENTIAL AND IS THE SITE OF FRANCIS R SCOBY MIDDLE SCHOOL.
THE EXISTING COMMUNITY COMMERCIAL LAND USE DOES NOT ALLOW FOR USE AS AN RV PARK RESORT.
UH, THAT SAID THE REQUESTED BUSINESS INNOVATION MIXED USE CATEGORY INTRODUCES POTENTIAL LAND USES THAT WOULD AUTHORIZE DOZENS OF HIGH INTENSITY INDUSTRIAL USES THAT ARE INAPPROPRIATE FOR THEIR SURROUNDING AREA.
THE BUSINESS INNOVATION MIXED USE CATEGORY WITH AUTH AUTHORIZED HIGH-TECH FABRICATION, PROCESSING AND ASSEMBLY, AND OTHER INDUSTRIAL USES AMONG OTHER, NONE OF WHICH ARE APPROPRIATE FOR A PARCEL.
SHARING THE PROPERTY LINE WITH NEARLY THREE DOZEN SINGLE FAMILY HOMES WITH A MIDDLE SCHOOL LOCATED ACROSS THE STREET STAFF'S.
[00:10:01]
EMPLOYMENT FLEX USE NOT ONLY PERMITS THE RV PARK BUT WOULD LIMIT OTHER USES TO SMALLER SCALE OFFICE RETAIL ART, STUDIO WAREHOUSES, ART ORIENTATED FABRICATION, CREATIVE BUSINESSES AND WORKSPACES.ADDITIONALLY, THE HIGHEST INTENSITY COMMERCIAL ZONING DISTRICT DEEMED COMPATIBLE WITH THE EMPLOYMENT FLEX MIXED USE CATEGORY IS C TWO, WHICH CURRENT, WHICH MATCHES THE CURRENT COMMUNITY COMMERCIAL LAND USE CATEGORY.
STAFF RECOMMENDS DENIAL WITH THIS ALTERNATE RECOMMENDATION OF EMPLOYMENT FLEX MIXED USE.
THE APPLICANT AND HIS AGENT ARE BOTH PRESENT FOR QUESTIONS.
CHRIS, DOES THE APPLICANT HAVE A CAN YOU PLEASE COME TO THE STAND STAND PODIUM? PODIUM.
HELLO COMMISSIONERS, IF YOU CAN JUST STATE YOUR NAME PLEASE.
I'M THE PRESIDENT OF RELIANCE INVESTMENTS.
UH, WHO OWNS THAT PROPERTY? UM, WE WANTED TO DO RV PARK AND SOME AUTO REPAIR SHOPS.
AND, UH, THE EXISTING ZONING IS NOT ALLOWING US PROPERLY DO THAT.
UH, EVEN THOUGH PRIOR TO 2019 WE WERE ABLE TO, AFTER M P A WAS ENFORCED, WE CANNOT DO IT.
SO AS THE STAFF RECOMMENDS, THEY DENY THE WHAT WE ASKED FOR, BUT THEY'RE RECOMMENDING THE ALTERNATIVE ONE AND WE ARE FOR IT.
UH, I KNOW THERE'S ONE, UH, CITIZEN TO BE HEARD.
YEAH, I, I HAVE SOME QUESTIONS, ESPECIALLY IF IT'S JUST GONNA BE A REZONING OF THE REZONE STATE.
STATE YOUR NAME, PLEASE STATE YOUR NAME.
THE PROPERTY ADDRESS IS 1911 GHOST DANCERS.
AND, UH, SO, SO THIS, THIS QUESTION COMES UP BECAUSE, UH, SO IT'LL BE MULTI-USE.
IS THAT STILL GOING TO INCLUDE THE RV PARK RESORT? SUPPOSEDLY, WHAT THAT'S STILL INCLUDED.
AND THEN IF WHATEVER, WHATEVER PLANS THEY, THEY COME UP WITH, IS THERE A PRE, I GUESS A PREDESIGNED THAT RESIDENTS COULD VIEW OF THE PLANS THAT ARE GONNA BE, UM, FOR THE BUILD OF THE COMMUNITY OF WHATEVER THEY'RE GONNA DO THERE? UH, THEN THAT WOULD ANSWER QUESTIONS ON TRAFFIC LEVEL, NOISE LEVEL, TAX, PROPERTY, UH, IMPLICATIONS TO THE RESIDENTS AROUND THE AREA.
I BELIEVE SOMEBODY MENTIONED 80 RESIDENTS OR 80 LETTERS WERE MAILED.
THERE'S MORE RESIDENTS AROUND THE COMMUNITY AND CERTAINLY THE SCHOOL COMES INTO PLAY, UH, PROPERTY OWNERS, PROPERTY VALUATIONS AS WELL.
WHAT DOES THAT DO TO THE PROPERTY VALUATION FOR THE RESIDENTS? AND THEN MORE IMPORTANTLY, IF THIS WAS MILITARY, UM, A LOCALE, IS THIS GONNA BE PURPOSE FOR THE MILITARY PERSONNEL? IF IT IS, GREAT, BUT IF IT'S NOT, WHAT ARE THOSE IMPLICATIONS TO THAT PROPERTY AS WELL AS A MILITARY INSTALLATION? SO USE OF LAND.
SO I, I CAN CHIME IN, UH, TRY TO ANSWER SOME OF THOSE.
SO, UM, THIS IS LOCATED IN WHAT'S CALLED THE MILITARY PROTECTION AREA.
IT WOULD BE OPEN TO THE PUBLIC.
UM, THE QUESTION ON WHETHER OR NOT YOU WOULD BE ABLE TO SEE A DESIGN, UH, OR LAYOUT FOR THE RV PARK AHEAD OF TIME, THAT'S NOTHING THE CITY CAN REQUIRE.
THAT'S SOMETHING IF THE DEVELOPER CHOSE TO SHOW, HE CERTAINLY COULD, BUT WE, WE WOULD NOT REQUIRE THAT.
UH, TRAFFIC WILL BE REVIEWED BY BEXAR COUNTY AS PART OF THE BUILDING PERMIT PROCESS.
AND THEN THE APPROVALS FOR OPENING THESE USES IN THE E T J M P A REQUIRE WHAT'S CALLED A CERTIFICATE OF COMPATIBILITY ISSUED BY OUR DEPARTMENT.
SO IF EVER THEY CAME IN, YOU KNOW, LET'S SAY IT WAS AN RV PARK FOR 25 YEARS, THEY SOLD IT, SOMEONE ELSE CAME ALONG LATER AND WANTED TO OPEN UP A RESTAURANT OR WHATEVER IT WAS, THEY WOULD HAVE TO COME TO OUR DEPARTMENT AND GET A NEW CERTIFICATE OF COMPATIBILITY SO THAT WE COULD SIGN OFF THAT THE USE IS CONSISTENT WITH THE LAND USE CATEGORY UP FOR CONSIDERATION TODAY.
SO YOU ANSWERED MY FIRST QUESTION.
SO THE, THE RV PARK IS STILL IN THE, ALL THESE OTHER THINGS THAT WERE MENTIONED IN THE DEVELOPMENT, CORRECT? RIGHT.
SO WHAT THEY'RE SEEKING APPROVAL OF TODAY IS A, IS A LAND USE CATEGORY.
UH, THAT CATEGORY CAN PERMIT A NUMBER OF DIFFERENT USES, ONE OF WHICH IS AN RV PARK.
OUR ALTERNATIVE RECOMMENDATION OF A LESS INTENSE DISTRICT WOULD ALLOW THE RV PARK, BUT IT WOULD NOT ALLOW SOME OF THE OTHER USES THAT CHRIS MENTIONED IN HIS PRESENTATION THAT WE FEEL ARE NOT COMPATIBLE.
HEAVY INDUSTRIAL USES WOULD NOT BE ALLOWED IN THIS CATEGORY.
GENERAL INDUSTRIAL USES WOULD NOT BE ALLOWED IN THIS CATEGORY.
AND AT THIS POINT WE REALLY DON'T KNOW, I GUESS NO ANALYSIS HAVE BEEN MADE ON PROPERTY VALUATIONS, PROPERTY TAX IMPLICATIONS.
PROPERTY VALUATIONS ARE ASSESSED BY BEXAR COUNTY.
THEY'RE NOT ASSESSED BY THE CITY OF SAN ANTONIO.
SO OUR DEPARTMENT DOES NOT HAVE A SAY IN HOW THE COUNTY ASSESSES TAXES.
[00:15:01]
YOUR NAME, SIR? MY NAME IS LOGAN SPARROW.THAT'S ALL THE QUESTIONS I HAD.
UH, THE APPLICANT IS WILLING TO TAKE THE ALTERNATE RECOMMENDATION TO EMPLOYMENT AND FLEX MIXED USE.
DO ANY COMMISSIONERS HAVE ANY QUESTIONS FOR STAFF OR FOR THE APPLICANT? I, I JUST HAVE ONE, ONE QUESTION.
UM, THIS IS IN THE E T J, CORRECT? YES.
SO THERE'S NO ZONING, CORRECT? THERE'S NO ZONING.
SO WE REGULATE BY THE LAND USE CATEGORY ONLY.
IF, UM, IF WE WERE TO ALLOW TIME FOR THEM TO, UH, GET TOGETHER AND RESOLVE THIS, UM, I WOULD LIKE TO PROPOSE THAT, UH, RESOLVE WHICH ISSUE THE, UH, WILLING TO WORK OUT, UH, A DIFFERENT, UH, APPROACH.
AND I WAS, UH, PROPOSING THAT MAYBE WE GIVE THEM THE TIME TO DO THAT.
TO HAVE A CONSIDERATION FOR THIS.
CAN I MAKE, UH, OUR NEIGHBOR, THE, THE PROPERTY IS 21 ACRES.
IT HAS ABOUT 2000 FEET ALONG THE MA AC CROWED WHERE THE PROPERTY IS CLOSE TO THE MOST OF THE NEIGHBORHOODS IN THE, YOU CAN SEE IN THE SOUTH SIDE NEXT TO DOLLAR GENERAL.
THAT'S ON THE CORNER, UH, THAT'S, UH, UPPER LEVEL.
AND THEN IMMEDIATELY LANDS DROPS DOWN, UH, AT A LOWER PORTION.
AND, UH, REST OF THE NEIGHBORS HAVE A STEEP, UH, BACKYARD TO OUR PROPERTY.
AND IT'S, UH, IT'S MOST OF THE, UH, HALF OF THE PROPERTIES, UH, IN THE FLOOD ZONE.
SO MOST OF THE, THE RV PARK RV STORAGE IS GOING TO BE NOT GOING TO BE CLOSER MUCH.
UH, WE, WE ALSO GOING TO HAVE SOME DRIVE-THROUGH RESTAURANTS AND SOME OFFICE BUILDINGS, WHICH IS, AND, AND ALSO GOING TO BE A RECREATIONAL, UH, LIKE, UH, UH, EVENT CENTER, WHICH IS GOING TO BE HELPFUL FOR THE NEIGHBOR NEIGHBORS.
I DO TAX ACCOUNTING FOR SEVERAL OTHER RE PARKS.
UH, MOST OF THEM ARE NEW MEXICO, UH, KIRTLAND AIR FIRST BASE.
MOST OF THE 65% OF THE CLIENTS, THE RE PARKS ARE FROM, FROM THE BASE.
SO THE RE PARK IS GOING TO BE EXCELLENT SERVICE FOR THE MILITARY.
SO THOSE OTHER USES THAT ARE MEANT THAT WERE JUST MENTIONED, ARE THEY ALLOW ALLOWED IN THE CURRENT LAND USES PRO OR WHAT? THEY THEY WOULD BE ALLOWED THE PROPOSED IN THE CURRENT LAND USE, THE LAND USE CATEGORY THEY INITIALLY REQUESTED.
AND THE LAND USE CATEGORY THAT IS STAFF'S ALTERNATE.
I'D LIKE TO GO AHEAD AND MAKE A MOTION TO, UH, APPROVE THE AMENDED, UH, STAFF RECOMMENDATION OF, WHAT WAS IT? EMPLOYMENT MIXED FLEX MIXED USE EMPLOYMENT FLEX MIXED USE.
SO MOTION TO APPROVE ALTERNATE RECOMMENDATION OF EMPLOYMENT FLEX MIXED USE MADE BY COMMISSIONER PECK.
SECOND BY COMMISSIONER, VICE CHAIR SIEGEL PROMOTED YOU VICE CHAIR CARILLO HAYNES, CAN WE PLEASE TAKE THE VOTE? COMMISSIONER PECK? YES.
COMMISSIONER CARILLO HAYNES? YES.
MOTION PASSES FOR STAFF AMENDMENT.
FINAL ITEM FOR INDIVIDUAL CONSIDERATION IS NUMBER 15.
STAFF, PLEASE PROVIDE A PRESENT PRESENTATION.
GOOD AFTERNOON, MARCO RAVI, PLAN COORDINATOR FOR ZONING.
UH, NUMBER 15 IS LOCATED AT 43 11 BLANCO ROAD, UH, IN THE GREATER DELVY AREA.
COMMUNITY PLAN, GOING FROM NEIGHBORHOOD COMMERCIAL TO REGIONAL COMMERCIAL, 22 NOTICES WERE MAILED OUT SIX IN FAVOR.
ZERO OPPOSED NO RESPONSE FROM THE CENTRAL LOS ANGELES HEIGHTS
[00:20:01]
OR NORTHMORE NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATION.AND ONE ADDITIONAL IN FAVOR, OUTSIDE 200 FEET, THE PROPOSED LAND USE AMENDMENT FROM NEIGHBORHOOD COMMERCIAL TO REGIONAL COMMERCIAL IS REQUESTED TO THE PROPERTY TO SEE.
THE PROPOSED REGIONAL COMMERCIAL IS NOT APPROPRIATE AND TWO INTENTS FOR THE PROPERTY.
REGIONAL COMMERCIALS FOR HIGH INTENSITY COMMERCIAL USES AND IDEALLY LOCATED IN THE INTERSECTION OF MAJOR ARTERIALS AND HIGHWAYS AND EXPRESSWAYS.
REGIONAL COMMERCIAL PROPERTIES ARE ALSO ESTABLISHED ON PROPERTIES THAT ARE GENERALLY 20 ACRES OR MORE IN SIZE.
THUS, THIS REQUEST IS COMPLETELY OUTTA SCOPE AND CHARACTER FOR THIS SITE.
UH, THE APPLICANT HAS OFFICIALLY INFORMED ME THAT HE IS AMENDING TO C TWO, WHICH WOULD AMEND THIS TO COMMUNITY COMMERCIAL.
UM, AND THE APPLICANT IS HERE FOR ANY QUESTIONS.
JUST TO CLARIFY, HE, WE WOULD NOT NEED TO, TO CHANGE THE LAND TO USE.
YOU WOULD STILL NEED TO CHANGE BECAUSE IT'S CURRENTLY NEIGHBORHOOD COMMERCIAL.
UH, SO HE WOULD STILL NEED, UH, PLAN AMENDMENT TO COMMUNITY COMMERCIAL, SIR.
I'M A RETIRED TEACHER FROM NORTHEAST I S D, AND UM, I'M TRYING TO PUT A BUSINESS IN MY PROPERTY.
UH, I HAD, UH, I'VE BEEN LIVING FOR MANY, MANY YEARS THERE, LIKE 30 YEARS.
SO RIGHT NOW WHAT, UH, I THINK WILL BE FAIR IS TO CHANGE TO ZONE TWO, SINCE SOME THREE WAS DENIED.
UH, I'M TRYING TO PUT A BUSINESS DUE TO, YOU KNOW, UH, THE ECONOMY OF THE COUNTRY RIGHT NOW.
I WILL BE A FAMILY BUSINESS AND MOST OF THE, MOST OF THE BUSINESS AROUND MY PROPERTY HAVE C TWO AND C THREE.
SO I'M REQUESTING A C TWO AT LEAST TO BE ABLE TO PUT A BUSINESS FOR MY FAMILY AND FOR ME TO BE ABLE TO SURVIVE THE CRISIS AFTER THE PANDEMIC, WE REALLY HAD A HARD TIME.
AND THIS REPRESENTS ME DUE TO THE AGE.
HE'S THE ONE THAT RUNS MY, OKAY, GOOD AFTERNOON TOO.
UM, WE, WE TRY TO REQUEST A C THREE.
YOU CAN STATE YOUR NAME, PLEASE, SIR.
I'M HERE FOR THE 43 11, UH, RESOLVING CASE.
SO ORIGINAL, UM, WE ASKING FOR, UM, C THREE ON THIS PROPERTY, BUT THE CITY IS, UH, HIGH INTENSITY FOR, FOR, UH, THIS AREA.
SO, UM, WE TRY TO DO THE AMENDMENT TO GO DOWN TO THE C TWO.
AND, UM, I, I HAVE SOME PICTURES HERE RIGHT NOW.
BLANCO ROAD IS A 99, IS I GOING TO SAY A HUNDRED PERCENT, BUT IT'S 99% COMMERCIAL.
UH, WE HAVE, UH, I, I TOOK SOME PICTURES AROUND THE, THE PROPERTY, THAT KIND OF BUSINESS WE HAVE AROUND, UH, LESS THAN ONE MILE AROUND US.
IT'S NORTH SOUTH, IT'S, UM, MCDONALD'S, OUTAN, SONIC, BIG BUSINESS, SMALL BUSINESS, LIKE, UH, THE STAR SHOP.
THIS IS THE FRONT ON BLANCO ROAD.
ALL THE FENCE, UH, UH, ON HERE IT'S GOING TO, UH, BLANCO ROAD.
SO IN FRONT OF US, WE HAVE A RESTAURANT ACROSS THE STREET.
WE HAVE A C TREE THAT IS A BEAUTY SHOP OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT.
I KNOW THAT SMALL PROPERTY HAS THE C TREE, BECAUSE WAS LONG, LONG TIME AGO WHEN THEY CHANGED, UH, THE ZONING.
BUT ALL THE, THE OTHERS AROUND, THEY HAVE C THREE OR C TWO ONE MILE AROUND.
SO THIS IS THE ONLY PROPERTY, UH, HAS A NEIGHBORHOOD COMMERCIAL.
SO THE REQUEST IS GOING, UH, DOWN FROM THE CITY, DO THE AMENDMENT AND TRY TO GET THE C TWO FOR, FOR THE CITY.
I THINK IT'S GOING TO BE FAIR FOR, FOR US AND FOR, FOR EVERYBODY HERE.
UM, I, YOUR RECOMMENDATION OBVIOUSLY IS THE, THE MOST IMPORTANT.
I WAS, UH, TALKING WITH, UM, THE PRESIDENT OF THE NORMAL NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATION.
THE NAME IS, UH, CELESTE QUINONE.
UH, UNFORTUNATELY SHE HAS A BIG ISSUE, FAMILY ISSUE.
UM, I THINK SHE'S AT THE HOSPITAL WITH HER MOM
[00:25:01]
AND SHE'S REALLY, REALLY, UM, SICK OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT.SO SHE'S BUSY WITH ANOTHER THINGS.
BUT, UH, SHE GAVE ME HER SUPPORT FROM THE, THE, THE ASSOCIATION.
BUT THIS HAPPENED AND SHE CAN, UH, WRITE THE, THE LETTER, BUT HER MIND IS IN ANOTHER THING, BUT SHE SAY SHE'S GOING TO SUPPORT, SHE RECEIVED THEM THE EMAIL AND WE ARE IN THE PROCESS TO, BUT THERE'S NO OPPOSITION.
UH, WE WAS TALKING WITH ALL THE NEIGHBORS AROUND 200 FEET BUSINESS OR, UM, HOUSES.
UM, AND NOBODY'S OBJECTING NOTHING.
THE IDEA, ACTUALLY, THAT PROPERTY USED TO BE LIKE 15 YEARS AGO, SOMETHING LIKE THAT.
UH, SMALL OFFICE FOR, UH, INSTALLATION OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT 20 YEARS AGO.
SO WE HAVE THE SUPPORT FOR THE NE THE NEIGHBORS.
WE HAVE THE SUPPORT FOR THE NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATION, AND WE HOPE WE HAVE THE SUPPORT FOR THE CITY
SO, UH, THAT'S THE REQUEST, UH, THAT DO THE AMENDMENT FOR THE C TWO.
UH, THERE'S ONE CITIZEN TO BE HEARD, UH, IAN BOLIO.
IF YOU CAN JUST STATE YOUR NAME.
UH, MY NAME'S IAN BOLIO, UM, HERE.
I'M OWNER OF THE HOUSE NEXT TO THAT PROPERTY.
UM, THEY ASKED ME, MS. ROSA ASKED ME TO SPEAK ON THEIR BEHALF AND I CONSIDER, I MEAN, I, I GREW UP IN THAT NEIGHBORHOOD.
UM, I OWN AROUND 10 HOUSES, AROUND PROPERTIES, AROUND, UM, AND THE REQUEST, I MEAN, I, I THINK IT'S FAIR THEY HAVE SUPPORT.
I TALKED TO THE, SOME OF THE NEIGHBORS AROUND ME.
UH, WE ALL DON'T HAVE ANY OBJECTIONS AGAINST IT.
UM, JUST HERE TO SHOW A LITTLE BIT OF SUPPORT.
UM, AGAIN, IT, IT LOOKS PRETTY FAIR.
PROPERTY IS PHASE TWO, BLANKER ROAD, WHICH IS EVERYTHING AROUND IT.
SAME, UH, BUSINESS ALL AROUND.
SO THEY HAVE THAT WHOLE FRONT TO IT.
SO I DON'T HAVE ANY OBJECTIONS TO IT.
I THINK IT'S PRETTY GOOD IDEA.
UM, IT DOESN'T, IT'S BENEFICIAL FOR THEM TO TRY TO START A BUSINESS AND, UM, NOT AFFECTING MANY.
I MEAN, WE'RE RIGHT NEXT TO 'EM.
NO AFFECTIONS TOWARDS US ACROSS, NO, NO.
IT DOESN'T AFFECT MANY PEOPLE.
SO IT JUST HERE TO SO SUPPORT ON THEIR BEHALF.
SO JUST
THANK YOU FOR YOUR PARTICIPATION.
AT THIS TIME, WE'LL TAKE, UH, COMMISSIONER QUESTIONS.
UH, YEAH, ONE QUESTION IS, UH, WHAT IS THE, UH, CLASSIFICATION OF BLANCO ROAD IN THIS AREA? I'M JUST WONDERING ABOUT THE, WHETHER OR NOT THEY'LL HAVE ACCESS ONTO BLANCO OR THEY'RE GONNA HAVE PRIME ACCESS, UH, WITH THIS DEVELOPMENT WOULD BECOME COMMERCIAL.
THERE, THERE IS AN ACCESS OFF OF BLANCO.
IT'S OFF OF THE LOCAL STREET RIGHT NOW, AND I DON'T KNOW WHETHER THEY WOULD BE ABLE TO GET ACCESS OFF OF BLANCO.
COMMISSIONER SCHINDLER? NO QUESTIONS MR. MILAM? I HAVE A COUPLE.
WHAT IS THE BUSINESS THAT, UH, THAT THE APPLICANT WANTS TO START HERE ON THIS QUITE SMALL LOT.
THE APPLICANT STATES THAT HE, IT'S, UH, FOR VEHICLE SALES.
SO IF HE, UH, AMENDS HIS C TWO, IT HAD TO BE A C TWO WITH A CONDITIONAL USE FOR AUTO SALES ON THE ZONING PORTION OF IT.
AND SECOND QUESTION FOR STAFF IS THAT THE, THE MAP WE WERE GIVEN SAYS NEIGHBORHOOD COMMERCIAL AND THE APPLICANT'S SAYING THAT EVERYTHING AROUND IS C THREE? YES, THE NEIGHBORHOOD COMMERCIAL WAS ESTABLISHED AFTER THE ZONING WAS ESTABLISHED MOST LIKELY.
UM, THAT'S WHY A LOT OF PROPERTIES, THERE'S A LOT OF PROPERTIES THAT ARE C THREE BUT HAVE A LAND USE OF NEIGHBORHOOD COMMERCIAL BECAUSE THE OVERLAY OR THE PLAN WAS DONE AFTER THE ZONING, ANY REZONING OBVIOUSLY WOULD HAVE TO CONFORM TO THE PLANT THAT'S IN THE GROUND RIGHT NOW.
AND ONE LAST QUESTION FOR YOU, MONICA.
UM, IS, IS THERE ANY, UH, GRADATION IN TYPES OF AUTO SALES? I MEAN, I, I'M THINKING THAT'S A SMALL LOT.
I'M VERY FAMILIAR WITH THAT AREA AND IT'S, IT'S NOT A BIG SPACE.
UH, YEAH, SO THERE'S NO DIFFERENCE.
I GUESS AUTO SALES, AUTO SALES, UM, USUALLY IT'S THE C THREE USE, WHICH REQUIRES A 15 FOOT BUFFER, UH, 30 FOOT SETBACK FOR THE BUILDING.
UM, OBVIOUSLY THAT WOULD BE DIFFERENT IF HE HAD A CONDITIONAL USE.
UM, SO THE NEW REQUEST IS FOR COMMUNITY COMMERCIAL, CORRECT? THE COMMUNITY COMMERCIAL? NO.
YEAH, HE'S OFFICIALLY AMENDING
[00:30:01]
TO COMMUNITY COMMERCIAL.AND WHAT IS STAFF'S POSITION? UH, STAFF, UH, DOES NOT HAVE ANY NEW RECOMMENDATION.
AND WHAT ARE THE REASONS FOR RECOMMENDING DENIAL AND COMMUNITY COMMERCIAL? JUST OUTTA CURIOSITY, WHY WOULD YOU? UH, I MEAN, WE'D HAVE TO DO A DIFFERENT ANALYSIS.
UM, 'CAUSE HE IS AMENDING RIGHT HERE, RIGHT BEFORE THE MEETING.
UM, I WOULD KIND OF JUST SAY THE SAME THING.
UM, HE'S ABUTTING OR RESIDENTIAL.
UM, THE, THE USE ITSELF IS PRETTY INTENSE, EVEN THOUGH HE WOULD HAVE TO CONDITION IT DOWN.
UM, IT'S A NEIGHBORHOOD COMMERCIAL LAND USE AND A LOT OF THE PROPERTIES ALONG THIS CORRIDOR DOOR WE'RE, UM, OUR NEIGHBORHOOD COMMERCIAL.
AND HE HAS A NEIGHBORHOOD COMMERCIAL ZONING.
AND SO HE CAN ACTUALLY AMEND AT ZONING COMMISSION TO A C ONE CD FOR THE USE THAT HE WANTS AND STILL NOT HAVE TO CHANGE THE CURRENT LAND USE.
SO, SO STAFF'S NOT OPPOSED TO THE, UM, PROPOSED BUSINESS, RIGHT? I MEAN THEY'RE, THEY'RE, YOU'RE JUST OPPOSED TO THE CHANGE IN LAND USE DESIGNATION.
SO I MEAN, WE'D HAVE TO MAKE THAT DETERMINATION AND ZONING COMMISSION BECAUSE THE C ONE WOULD BE FINE.
IT'D BE FINE WITH THE LAND USE RIGHT NOW, BUT WHEN HE'S MAKING A CONDITIONAL USE FOR HIGH INTENSITY USE LIKE AUTO SALES, WE'LL HAVE TO TAKE THAT INTO CONSIDERATION ALSO WITH OUR RECOMMENDATION.
AND WHEN DOES THIS GO TO ZONING? I'M SORRY? WHEN DOES THIS GO TO ZONING? THE CURRENT ZONING NEIGHBORHOOD COMMERCIAL? NO, WHEN, WHEN DOES IT GO? IS THIS JULY 5TH? UH, JULY 5TH.
AND HAS STAFF ALREADY MADE A DETER DETERMINATION PER THE CURRENT REQUEST? HE'S ASKING FOR A C THREE.
UM, SO, OKAY, SO JUST, DOES HE UNDERSTAND THAT HE COULD DO WHAT HE WANTS TO DO, KEEPING NEIGHBORHOOD COMMERCIAL AND CORRECT? I, UH, WE SUGGESTED, UH, C ONE CD, UM, AND WE MADE IT CLEAR THAT EVEN THAT SUGGESTION WOULD NOT BRING AN AUTOMATIC, UM, APPROVAL RECOMMENDATION APPROVAL FROM STAFF.
BUT WE DID RECOMMEND THAT TO HIM.
I MEAN, I, I UNDERSTAND EVERYTHING AND I, AND I, I DO SEE BOTH SIDES BECAUSE, UM, I SEE WHAT HE'S TRYING TO DO THAT WHOLE CORRIDOR IS, IS, IS BUSINESS IS COMMERCIAL.
UM, I UNDERSTAND THAT THERE'S MORE INTENSE USE WITH THIS LAND USE DESIGNATION AND PROPOSED, UM, ZONING.
BUT I, I STRUGGLE TO SEE THE STAFF'S PERSPECTIVE, I GUESS A LITTLE BIT IN THE FACT THAT WE HAD A RESIDENT HERE WHO IS SUPPORTIVE, WHO OWNS NEIGHBORHOOD NEIGHBOR HOUSES IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD, UM, MAKES IT A LITTLE BIT MORE CONVINCING FOR THE, THE APPLICANT'S DECISION.
SO IT SOUNDS LIKE THAT THERE IS AN ALTERNATE PATHWAY DEFINED THAT MAY NOT EVEN INVOLVE THE PLANNING COMMISSION.
IF THE APPLICANT WERE TO WORK WITH STAFF TO SEEK A LOWER INTENSITY ZONING, THAT WOULD GO TO THE ZONING COMMISSION ON JULY 5TH.
SO I WOULD ACTUALLY SUPPORT A CONTINUANCE TO JULY 13TH IN ANTICIPATION THAT THIS WOULD GET WORKED OUT IN ZONING AND NOT HAVE TO COME BACK.
SO JUST TO MAKE IT CLEAR, IF THIS IS WORKED OUT AS ZONING COMMISSION AS A C ONE CD, THERE'S NO LONGER A NEED FOR THE PLAN AMENDMENT.
THIS, THIS IS THE MAP AROUND THE, THE PROPERTY.
SO WE CAN SEE OVER THERE AROUND, YOU CAN STAY IN FRONT OF THE MICROPHONE, THE PROPERTY.
IT'S, UM, UH, ACROSS THE STREET IS C THREE OH OH.
SO THIS IS THE PROPERTY, UH, SOMEBODY ASKED AROUND ABOUT THE, THE ACCESS.
THIS IS THE MAIN ACCESS ON BLANCO ROAD.
WE HAVE LIKE A DOUBLE OR TRIPLE, UH, SIZE DRIVEWAY.
THIS IS THE, THE FRONT OF THE HOUSE IN, IN BLANCO ROAD.
SO THIS IS C THREE JUST ACROSS THE STREET.
UM, THIS IS C TWO ALL AROUND THE PROPERTIES.
THIS IS R FOUR, BUT THEY DO THE MALIAN ON THE HOUSE AND THEY ARE USING A, AS A PARKING LOT FOR THE C THREE, UH, BUSINESS THEY HAVE RIGHT NOW.
SO STILL LIKE R FOUR, THAT'S THE ONLY ONE AROUND US, BUT THEY DO THE DEMOLITION.
IT'S A PARKING LOT FOR THE, THE RESTAURANT HERE.
SO ALL THE, THE FRONT OF BLANCO FROM JACKSON, KELLER TO FRESNO, IT'S BUSINESS AT THE FRONT.
SO I, WE HAVE THE HOPE TO, WE CAN DO SOMETHING FOR THE PROPERTY AND THAT'S A FAMILY, UH, BUSINESS WE CAN SET OVER THERE.
AND, UM, IT'S NOT NOTHING LIKE, UH, C THREE
[00:35:01]
PROBABLY RIGHT NOW IS REALLY, REALLY HIGH, BUT, UH, C TWO IT'S THE, I THINK IT'S MORE LOGIC BECAUSE ALL THEM HAS C TWO.SO IT'S NOT LIKE, UH, OH, WE ARE GOING TO MAKE THE DIFFERENCE ON THAT NEIGHBORHOOD ON BLANCO ROAD FROM MILES AND MILES BECAUSE WE ARE THE ONLY ONE ON ONE MILE DOESN'T HAVE THE C TWO OR C THREE.
SO I CONSIDER IT, UH, PROBABLY IT'S GOING TO BE FAIR FOR US TO GET THE C TWO, BUT THE DECISION IS ALWAYS USED.
SO THIS BODY HERE IS, IT CONSIDERS PLAN AMENDMENTS.
SO, UH, WHILE C TWO MAY BE SUITABLE FOR YOUR BUSINESS, AND I, I THINK WE ALL SUPPORT YOU WANTING TO DO YOUR BUSINESS, UH, CHANGING THE PLAN AMENDMENT COULD, IF THE PROPERTY SELLS, ALLOW A HIGHER DENSITY OR DIFFERENT TYPE OF USE.
UH, I THINK COMMISSIONER SIEGEL'S REQUEST WOULD BE GOOD BECAUSE THEN YOU CAN GO TO ZONING AND SEE WHAT THEIR DETERMINATION IS.
YEAH, IF YOU GO TO A C ONE CONDITIONAL USE, THEN THAT SATISFIES YOUR NEED.
WE WON'T NEED TO COME BACK HERE.
IF YOU DO GET YOUR ZONING FOR C TWO OR C THREE, THEN WE COULD CONSIDER IT AT THAT TIME.
SO, UH, WE'LL ASK FOR A FORMAL MOTION, BUT THAT'S WHERE YEAH, BUT I MOVE THAT THE CASE BE CONTINUED TO JULY 13TH.
YEAH, BECAUSE, YOU KNOW, IN CASE THEY DON'T APPROVE THE, THE BUSINESS FOR, UH, THE OURSELVES OR SOMETHING ON THAT PROPERTY, THE C ONE IS NOT FAIR FOR US.
YOU KNOW, C ONE IS NOT ALLOWED NOTHING, UH, TO DO, UH, ANOTHER BUSINESS IN CASE ON THE FUTURE FOR THE FAMILY WANTS A DO SOMETHING MORE, YOU KNOW, AN OFFICE OR SELL SOMETHING OR WHATEVER, IT'S GOING TO BLOCK FOR US THE FUTURE IF WE DON'T GET THE C TWO.
SO, UM, IT'S ALWAYS THE FINAL DECISION IS FROM THE, UM, C O D IF THEY GAVE TO US THE, THE PERMIT FOR THE OURSELVES OR LATER FOR ANOTHER THING.
RIGHT NOW ON THE NEIGHBORHOOD COMMERCIAL THEY PERMIT, UM, SMALL CAFETERIA OR THAT KIND OF THINGS.
UH, WE ARE ASKING, WE ARE GONNA ASK FOR A SMALL, UH, DEALERSHIP.
SO THE SPACE IS NOT LIKE, UH, WE ARE GONNA PUT A BIG, BIG THING WE'RE GOING, THEY, UH, AUSTIN ASK FOR US AT LEAST FIVE CARS.
SO WE KINDA WORK WITH THE CITY, LIKE, UH, RESTRICTIONS.
LIKE, UH, THEY SAY, OKAY, YOU'RE GONNA PUT A DEALER, YOU JUST CAN PUT 10 CARS OR YOU JUST CAN USE THE FRONT OR THE BACK ON THE PROPERTY OR NO LIGHTS AROUND OR WHATEVER IS GOING TO BE GOOD FOR US.
WE JUST LIKE TO PUT THE BUSINESS OVER THERE AND HAVE MORE OPTIONS ON THE FUTURE FOR THE FAMILY.
THAT IS THE REQUESTING, UH, FOR THE C TWO.
BUT C ONE IS, YOU KNOW, IT'S NOT PERMITTING NOTHING AROUND.
SO, SO YEAH, YOU HAVE TO MAKE THAT CASE FOR YEAH.
UM, IF WE DO COME BACK AND SEE YOU AND THE CONTINUANCE IS PASSES AND THE ZONING DOESN'T OR CHANGES AND WE HAVE TO RECONSIDER THE PLAN AMENDMENT, UH, CONTINUE TO WORK WITH THE COMMUNITY.
I MEAN, IT'S GOOD THAT YOU HAVE NEIGHBORHOOD SUPPORT.
THEN THE ASSOCIATION ACTUALLY HAVE SEVEN LETTERS, THE NEIGHBORS AROUND THE 200 FEET AROUND BUSINESS.
AND, UH, WE DON'T HAVE ANY OPPOSITION AROUND.
SO, UM, I THINK SO I JUST ENCOURAGE YOU TO MAYBE IF YOU DO COME BACK ON THE 13TH TO SEEK THEIR SUPPORT IN LETTERS OR SHOW UP IN PURCHASE.
BUT HOW WORKS THIS, BECAUSE WE HAVE THE, ANOTHER MEETING ON THE FIFTH, UH, UH, UH, JULIO? MM-HMM.
SO THERE WAS A MOTION BY COMMISSIONER SIEGEL FOR A CONTINUANCE TO JULY 13TH.
CAN WE CONDUCT THE VOTE? COMMISSIONER SIEGEL? YES.
COMMISSIONER CARRIO HAYNES? YES.
COMMISSIONER UM, SCHINDLER? YES.
NEXT ON THE AGENDA, ARE THE MINUTES FROM THE JUNE 8TH MEETING ARE THERE, I KNOW THERE WERE SOME CORRECTIONS MADE.
