I LIVE AT 4 0 5 E UH, SEVEN EIGHT TWO ONE TWO.
UH, MY PHONE NUMBER IS (210) 223-2814.
UH, I'M CALLING ABOUT ZONING CASE Z 20 22 1 7 0 1 6 3.
THAT'S UH 2 2 0 0 2200 MCCULLOUGH AVENUE.
THE CHANGE IN ZONING FROM C TWO AND R SIX TO C TWO WITH PLANNED USE AS CELL STORAGE IS NOT COMPATIBLE WITH A TYPE OF DEVELOPMENT ALREADY ON THIS PART OF MCCULLOUGH AVENUE, WHICH IS A MIX OF RESIDENTIAL AND SMALL BUSINESSES.
THE ZONING CHANGE WOULD ALLOW FOR A BUILDING UP TO FOUR STORIES AND THERE ARE NO FOUR STORY BUILDINGS IN THE VICINITY.
IT WOULD ALSO ALLOW FOR A BUILDING VERY CLOSE TO THE LOT LINE, WHICH ON THREE SIDES IS ON THREE SIDES IS ON A STREET.
THIS IS NOT APPROPRIATE FOR RESIDENTIAL OR MIXED USE STREETS.
THE TYPE OF BUILDING PROPOSED AND ITS USE ARE BETTER SUITED TO WAREHOUSE AREAS, NOT AT THE END OF RESIDENTIAL STREETS.
I WOULD LIKE TO POINT OUT LAND USE RECOMMENDATION NUMBER FOUR.
LAND USE DECISIONS SHOULD SUPPORT THE CONTINUED USE OR ADAPTIVE REUSE OF EXISTING STRUCTURES THAT CONTRIBUTE TO THE ESSENTIAL CHARACTER OF THE MIDTOWN AREA.
AS A RESIDENT OF TOWEN HILL, I DO NOT SUPPORT THIS CHANGE OF ZONING.
HI, MY NAME IS GA PANTOJA AND I LIVE AT 2 2 20 EAST RUSSELL PLACE.
I AM CALLING ABOUT THE PROPERTY AT 2200 MCCULLOUGH ZONING K ZEBRA 2 0 2 2 1 0 7 0 0 1 6 3.
AND I KNOW THERE IS A ZONING CHANGE THAT IS BEING REQUESTED, BUT I AM VERY MUCH OPPOSED TO THE REZONING CASE.
STORAGE FACILITIES ARE VERY BIG AND WHEN I PURCHASE A PROPERTY I HAVE A VERY CLEAR VIEW OF THE SUNSET ON MY ROOFTOP.
THE PROPERTIES AROUND ME HAVE ROOFTOPS AND I KNOW THEIR LINE OF SIGHT WILL BE BLOCKED TREMENDOUSLY BY THIS HUGE PROJECT OF THE REZONED IS APPROVED.
ME ALONG WITH THE OTHER NEIGHBORS KNOW THAT WE DO NOT WANT TO SEE THIS HUGE BUILDING EVERY DAY.
NOT TO MENTION THE CONSTRUCTION THAT'S GOING TO TAKE PLACE, WHICH WILL MAKE THE NEXT FEW YEARS A TERRIBLE LIVING EXPERIENCE.
MY PHONE NUMBER IS (760) 310-7060.
I LIVE AT 2 0 3 EAST RUSSELL PLACE, SAN ANTONIO, TEXAS 7 8 2 1 2.
I'M CALLING REGARDING ZONING CASE ENDING IN 0 0 1 6 3.
I'M CALLING TO LET YOU KNOW THAT I'M VERY OPPOSED TO THE ZONING CHANGE INTO THE PROPOSED BUSINESS AND STRUCTURE THAT IS PLANNED TO BE BUILT ON THE PROPERTY.
I'D LIKE TO START BY SAYING THAT VERY LITTLE MARKETING WAS DONE, DONE FOR THE CURRENT ZONING THAT IS ALLOCATED TO THE PROPERTY TODAY.
I HAVE NOT SEEN ANY ATTEMPTS TO SELL OR DEVELOP THE PROPERTY THE WAY IT WAS CURRENTLY ZONED.
THE CURRENT STRUCTURE COULD EASILY SERVE AS A RETAIL BUSINESS OR EVEN AN OFFICE PARK FOR MEDICAL, LEGAL, OR SCHOLASTIC SERVICES.
THIS WOULD BE IN LINE WITH THE CURRENT DEMOGRAPHICS OF THE BUSINESSES THAT ARE IN THE SURROUNDING AREAS.
THE PLANS TO DEVELOP IT AS A STORAGE FACILITY ARE NOT IN ALIGNMENT WITH THE CHARACTER OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD AND WOULD NOT PROVIDE ANY ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENTS.
AT THE SAME TIME, THIS PROPOSED BUSINESS WOULD DECREASE THE VALUE OF NEIGHBORING PROPERTIES.
THIS AREA OF TOBIN HILL IS RESIDENTIAL.
WE'RE WORKING AS A COMMUNITY TO IMPROVE TOBIN HILL AND PROMOTE THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE AREA IN A WAY THAT INCREASES THE PROPERTY VALUES AND QUALITY OF LIFE FOR ALL OF ITS RESIDENTS.
WE HAVE INVESTED OUR TIME, MONEY, AND ENERGY IN THIS COMMUNITY AND WELCOME BUSINESSES THAT MEET THOSE VALUES AND GOALS.
ANOTHER IMPORTANT FACT IS THAT SOME OF
[00:20:01]
THE MOST PRESTIGIOUS PRIVATE SCHOOLS LIKE THE SAN ANTONIO ACADEMY AND THE KEYSTONE ACADEMY FOR ELEMENTARY TO HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS ARE WITHIN ONE BLOCK OF THIS PROPOSED SELF STORAGE BUSINESS.I'M CONFIDENT THAT THE PARENTS THAT PAY FOR THIS QUALITY OF EDUCATION WOULD FROWN UPON A HIGH TRAFFIC SELF STORAGE BUSINESS OPENING UP SO CLOSE TO THEIR CHILDREN'S SCHOOLS.
AFTER ALL, THERE HAVE BEEN PLENTY OF REPORTED CASES OF BURGLARIES, STORING, STORING OF STOLEN GOODS, STORING OF ILLEGAL DRUGS, AND EVEN CASES OF HUMAN TRAFFICKING ASSOCIATED WITH THESE SELF STORAGE BUSINESSES.
THESE ARE NOT THE KIND OF PEOPLE THAT WE WANT.
COMING INTO TOBIN HILL AND BEING IN SUCH CLOSE PROXIMITY TO OUR SCHOOLS, FAMILIES, KIDS AND BUSINESSES OF SELF STORAGE BUSINESS IN THIS LOCATION WOULD DEGRADE THE VALUE OF TOBIN HILL AND THE RESIDENTS THAT CALL IT HOME.
THIS BELONGS IN A MUCH MORE COMMERCIAL AREA WITH OTHER INDUSTRIAL BUSINESSES THAT ALLOW FOR HIGH TRAFFIC AT ALL HOURS OF THE DAY, NOT IN THE MIDDLE OF A BLOSSOMING RESIDENTIAL AREA.
THE SECTION OF EAST RUSSELL THAT GOES TO ST.
MARY'S IS ALSO NOT INSANE, NOT INTENDED FOR HIGH TRAFFIC AND IT'S A VERY NARROW TWO-WAY STREET.
AND THERE ARE AREAS OF THE STREET WHERE PEOPLE HAVE TO STOP TO ALLOW TWO-WAY TRAFFIC.
THIS WILL INCREASE THE AMOUNT OF TRAFFIC ON THIS ROAD, MAKING IT MORE INCONVENIENT FOR THOSE OF US THAT ARE THAT LIVE ON EAST RUSSELL.
IT'S ALSO IMPORTANT TO NOTE THAT I LIVE DIRECTLY ACROSS THE STREET FROM THE PROPOSED PROJECT, DEMOLISHING THE EXISTING STRUCTURE AND BUILDING A NEW ONE WILL CREATE A LOT OF DUST, NOISE AND TRAFFIC FOR ALL OF US THAT LIVE CLOSE TO IT FOR THE DURATION OF THE PROJECT.
THE DEMOLITION AND CONSTRUCTION COULD ALSO HAVE AN ADVERSE IMPACT ON THE FOUNDATION OF MY PROPERTY AND ALL SURROUNDING PROPERTIES DUE TO ITS, ITS PROXIMITY.
DUE TO THE POTENTIAL IMPACT OF THIS PROPOSED BUSINESS ON MY REAL ESTATE INVESTMENT AND WELLBEING, I'M PREPARED TO TAKE LEGAL ACTION IF NEEDED AGAINST THE CITY IF THIS PROJECT IS APPROVED.
IN SUMMARY, I STRONGLY BELIEVE THAT THIS BUSINESS IS NOT A GOOD FIT FOR THE TOPEN HILL COMMUNITY AND THOSE OF US THAT CALL IT HOME.
THANKS FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER AND PLEASE FEEL FREE TO CONTACT ME IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS REGARDING MY CONCERNS.
THIS IS RICK SHELL, FOUR 30 EAST MISTLETOE AVENUE 7 8 2 1 2 2 1 0 8 8 9 4 4 2 4.
CALLING ABOUT CASE NUMBER, UH, 1 0 7 0 0 1 6 3 FOR 2200 MCCULLOUGH.
UH, I JUST WANTED TO COMMUNICATE TO THE COMMITTEE OR TO THE GROUP, UH, THAT UH, THE TOBIN HILL COMMUNITY ASSOCIATION DOES NOT SUPPORT THE REQUESTED CHANGE.
UM, THIS PROPERTY ABOUT SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL.
THEY ARE PROPOSING UP TO FOUR STORIES, BUT THEY DO NOT INDICATE THE PROPOSED HEIGHT.
AND IN OUR MEETINGS WITH THE REPRESENTATIVES FOR THE, UH, OR THE, FOR THE APPLICANT, UH, THEY INDICATED THAT THEY WERE LOOKING AT THE HEIGHT OF 45 FEET.
UM, THE CURRENT C TWO ZONING ALLOWS FOR A 25 FOOT MAXIMUM ON THAT PROPERTY AND THAT IS CERTAINLY MORE IN LINE WITH THE NEIGHBORHOOD OF MIXED USE FUTURE LAND USE THAT THIS PROPERTY HAS.
UM, THEIR PROPOSAL DOES NOT FIT IN WITH THIS LAND USE AT ALL.
UH, WE HAVE HAD MULTIPLE REQUESTS THROUGH VARIOUS NEIGHBORHOOD, UH, OF FOLKS AS WELL.
UM, NOT PROPOSE OR NOT SUPPORTING THIS PROPOSAL.
UM, IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS YOU CAN READ TO ME.
I AM THE ZONING AND DEVELOPMENT COMMITTEE CHAIR FOR TOBIN HILL COMMUNITY ASSOCIATION.
MY PHONE NUMBER IS (210) 884-4709.
THIS IS IN REGARDS TO CASE NUMBER 1 6 3, THE 2200 MCCULL UM, MCCULLOUGH ADDRESS.
UM, MY UNDERSTANDING IS THAT THE BUILDING HEIGHT WILL BE MAXIMIZED AT 40.
UM, PREVIOUS ZONING RESTRICTED THE HEIGHT.
UM, AND WHEN WE WE PURCHASED OUR RESIDENCE, WE WERE UNDER THE UNDERSTANDING THAT OUR VIEW OF DOWNTOWN WOULD NOT BE BLOCKED WITH THE CURRENT ZONING.
THIS CHANGE NOT ONLY IMPACTS OUR VIEW AND ENJOYMENT OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD, IT DEFINITELY IMPACTS OUR PROPERTY VALUE GIVEN THAT IT WILL MOST LIKELY BLOCK OUR VIEW OF DOWNTOWN.
WE'RE ALSO CONCERNED ABOUT CRIME THAT A SELF STORAGE FACILITY MAY BRING AS WELL AS THE 24 HOUR OPERATION NATURE OF A BUSINESS SUCH AS THIS.
THIS, UM, PROPOSED SITE HAS ALL THREE SITES RESIDENTIAL AND WE'RE CONCERNED ABOUT THE, UM, INCREASED TRAFFIC ALSO BROUGHT IN BY THIS BUSINESS AS WELL AS THE LIMITED PARKING GIVEN.
THEY WANT TO MAXIMIZE THE BUILD.
UM, OTHER CONCERNS HAVE TO DO WITH CRIME THAT IS BROUGHT IN RELATED TO SELF STORAGE FACILITIES.
THERE'S A LOT OF, UM, INFORMATION ONLINE REGARDING THIS THAT ALSO AFFECTS OUR OPPOSITION TO THIS.
MY ADDRESS IS ONE ONE FIVE SHRINER PLACE.
MY PHONE IS (210) 834-1321 AND I'M CALLING ABOUT CASE NUMBER 1 6 3.
THAT'S THE PROPERTY AT 2200 MCCULLOUGH MONTE VISTA IS OPPOSED TO THE REZONING.
IT IS NOT IN KEEPING WITH OUR HISTORIC NEIGHBORHOOD.
ALRIGHT, ANY FURTHER PUBLIC COMMENT? NO SIR.
[00:25:01]
VERY WELL.THE FLOOR IS OPEN FOR A MOTION.
I'LL MAKE A MOTION TO CONTINUE THE FOLLOWING ITEMS TO THE SEPTEMBER 6TH ZONING COMMISSION HEARING ITEMS NUMBER 2 4 8 9 11, 12, AND 15.
IS THERE A SECOND? I'LL SECOND.
ALRIGHT, COMMISSIONER ORTIZ IS THE SECOND.
ANY DISCUSSION? COMMISSIONERS? TO MY LEFT.
SEEING NONE, COMMISSIONERS TO MY RIGHT.
MOTION IS FOR A CONTINUANCE TO SEPTEMBER 6TH FOR ITEMS 2 4 8 9 11, 12, AND 15.
BY COMMISSIONER GREATHOUSE WITH A SECOND BY COMMISSIONER ORTIZ.
COMMISSIONER LIA HOLLAND? YES.
LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, IF YOU ARE HERE FOR ANY OF THE ITEMS THAT WE JUST WENT OVER, WE WILL SEE YOU AGAIN ON SEPTEMBER 6TH.
AT THIS TIME, WE WILL MOVE ON TO OUR INDIVIDUAL HEARING, BEGINNING WITH ITEM NUMBER ONE, PLEASE.
MY NAME IS KELLY SANDERS, SENIOR PLANNER.
THIS IS KELLY SANDERS, UH, SENIOR PLANNER.
UM, I AM INTRODUCING ITEM NUMBER ONE IS A REQUEST TO REZONE FROM R SIX TO I D Z ONE WITH A USE FOR SEVEN DWELLING UNITS WITH ALL ZONING OVERLAYS TO REMAIN THE SAME.
LOCATED AT 2 3 7 CHECKERING AVENUE.
PASADENA HEIGHTS NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATION IS ALSO OPPOSED.
TWO NOTICES ALSO WERE RECEIVED IN OPPOSITION, WHICH ARE OUTSIDE THE 200 FEET.
UM, STAFF DOES FIND EVIDENCE OF LIKELY ADVERSE IMPACTS ON NEIGHBORING LANDS IN RELATION TO THE ZONING CHANGE.
UM, ADJACENT PROPERTIES ARE ALSO ZONED R SIX AND LARGELY DEVELOPED WITH RESIDENTIAL SINGLE FAMILY UNITS, UM, AND A SINGLE CHURCH DEVELOPMENT.
THE PROPOSED I D Z ONE WITH USES, UH, FOR SEVEN DWELLING UNITS.
IT BRINGS A SIGNIFICANT HIGHER INTENSITY.
THE SUBJECT PROPERTY IS LARGER THAN THE ABUTTING PROPERTIES THOUGH, UM, APPROXIMATELY 29,000 SQUARE FEET.
SO STAFF DOES RECOMMEND AN ALTERNATE RECOMMENDATION OF UP TO FOUR UNITS.
STAFF RECOMMENDS DENIAL WITH AN ALTERNATE RECOMMENDATION AND THE APPLICANT IS PRESENT.
IF THE APPLICANT CAN COME FORWARD, SHOULD HAVE A PRESENTATION.
MY ADDRESS IS, UH, 27 19 BRAMBLE BUSH.
AND I THINK WE HAVE A POWERPOINT.
YEAH, SHE'S TRYING TO GET IT PERFECT.
OKAY, SO JUST TO RECAP, WE MET HERE A COUPLE OF, UH, WEEKS AGO, AND THIS IS THE DEVELOPMENT WHERE WE ORIGINALLY ASKED FOR EIGHT UNITS.
UH, THIS BASED ON THE LOAD DENSITY THAT THIS AREA HAS.
WELL, THAT ONLY SHOWS THE, THE LOCATION.
MAYBE WE CAN SKIP THAT AS WELL.
AND, UM, WE ALSO BASED OUR INITIATIVE AND THE FACT THAT AT SOME POINT THIS WAS MULTIFAMILY AND THAT'S HOW WE ORIGINALLY CAME TO, TO REQUEST MULTIFAMILY.
HOWEVER, IF WE GO TO THE NEXT ONE, UH, WE REALIZE THAT IT WAS IMPORTANT TO, UH, LOCK THIS IN THE AMOUNT OF UNITS THAT WE WERE GOING TO BUILD SO THAT IF IN CASE, YOU KNOW, UM, OUR CLIENT EVER SOLD THE PROPERTY, NO ONE WILL COME AND DEVELOP MORE THAN, THAN, THAN WHAT NEEDED TO BE DEVELOPED.
THAT'S NOT THE LAST ONE IS IT? THAT'S THE ORIGINAL ONE WE SENT THE LAST ONE.
THAT WAS THE ONE FROM TWO WEEKS AGO.
YEAH, NO, WE SENT YOU ONE FOR TODAY.
WELL, WE HAD ANOTHER ONE WHERE WE TRIED TO, UH, RECAP, BUT BASICALLY ORIGINALLY WE'RE GONNA HAVE A EIGHT UNITS AND WE LOWER IT TO SIX UNITS.
WE NOTICED, UH, THAT STAFF RECOMMENDED FOUR UNITS AND WE TRY TO SOMEHOW MEET, UH, HALFWAY.
UH, WE ALSO HAD, UM, UM, DEBATE WITH THE NEIGHBORS, UM, AND ALSO TRYING TO SET EVERYTHING IN GOOD TERMS WITH THE NEIGHBORS.
WE, THAT'S THE REASON WHY WE, UH, LOWER IT TO SIX.
UM, MAINLY THE REASON, AND MAYBE WE CAN SKIP TO THE, TO THE, THAT'S A PERFECT ONE.
NO, THE ONE OF THE MAIN REASONS WHY IT CAN BE SUCCESSFUL IS IF WE LOOK AT THE DENSITY OF,
[00:30:01]
OF THE OTHER BLOCKS.WE HAVE, UH, A BLOCK THIS BLOCK'S ABOUT 33 ACRES AND IT BARELY HAS A DENSITY OF 45 HOMES.
WELL, IF WE TRY TO, UH, CREATE A, A SIMILAR BLOCK OF 33 ACRES IN THE NEIGHBORING AREA, WE SEE THAT, UH, WE'RE TALKING ABOUT A HUNDRED, 880 OR ALMOST 200, UH, HOUSES.
SO THAT'S WHY WE THINK THIS IS A GOOD OPPORTUNITY TO DO A GOOD INFIELD PROJECT.
UH, AND ESPECIALLY USING THE I D C SPIRIT AND, UH, TRYING TO CREATE MORE HOUSING.
UM, THE CLIENT IN THIS CASE IS A VERY INTERESTING, UH, CLIENT.
WE'RE TALKING ABOUT A FAMILY THAT HAS A FAMILY OWNED BUSINESS AND, UH, BASED ON THEIR EXPERIENCE, THEY'RE TRYING TO CREATE OPPORTUNITIES FOR, FOR THE NEIGHBORS.
AND THAT'S WHY THEY'RE TRYING TO COME UP WITH THIS DEVELOPMENT.
IT'S NOT GONNA BE, UH, AN EXPENSIVE DEVELOPMENT.
I MEAN, THEY HAVE TO BRING UTILITIES AND OF COURSE THE MORE, UH, HOUSES THEY CAN BUILD IN HERE, IT'S GONNA BE BETTER NOT ONLY FOR THEM, BUT ALSO TO OFFER AN AFFORDABLE, UH, OPTION.
AND, UM, I THINK RIGHT NOW WHAT'S ON THE TABLE IS, UH, TWO MORE HOUSES.
UH, THE STAFF RECOMMENDS FOUR.
AND I HOPE WE CAN COME UP WITH A, WITH A GOOD UNDERSTANDING OF WHAT'S NEEDED TO BE ABLE TO ACHIEVE THIS.
UM, JUST, BUT JUST TO BE CLEAR, YES.
YOU'RE AMENDING YOUR REQUEST FROM SEVEN UNITS ID Z ONE, YES.
THAT'S, THAT'S A MISTAKE THAT WE DISCUSSED THAT HAD TO BE ADDRESSED HERE.
IT'S NOT SEVEN UNITS, IT'S SIX UNITS.
AND STAFF, DO WE HAVE A SITE PLAN REPRESENTING THE SIX OR CAN THEY GET THAT? THERE SHOULD BE ONE.
AND THE LAST, UH, EMAIL I SENT EVEN HAD A, A TREATY OF IT.
BUT EVEN IF WE DON'T, WHILE WE GET IT PULLED UP, UM, WOULD YOU LIKE TO HEAR THE VOICEMAILS? IF THERE, YES, LET'S GO AHEAD AND HEAR THE VOICEMAILS.
CAN I APPROACH HER TO SEE IF MRS. YES.
UH, AND I WANT TO PUT MY VOICE TO THE REQUEST THAT I GOT ON PAPER ABOUT, UH, REASONING OF, UH, CHECKERING TO MULTIFAMILY RENTERS.
I WILL, UH, UH, I WILL VOTE AGAINST IT.

SO PLEASE TAKE, TAKE IT INCONSIDERATION.
UH, MY NUMBER IS 2 1 0 3 5 9 9 0 3 4.
I LIVE ON ONE 50 BEETHOVEN STREET.
AND, UH, OBVIOUSLY AM AM INTERESTED IN THE CHANGES IN MY NEIGHBORHOOD.

AND MY PHONE NUMBER IS (210) 625-1871.
THE LAST THREE DIGITS ON THE CASE NUMBER IS 1 3 8.
AND I WAS CALLING TO, UM, OPPOSE AGAINST THIS PLAN.
UM, I AM, UH, I I DON'T FEEL THAT IT'S APPROPRIATE WITH THE AMOUNT OF SPACE THAT'S LOCATED IN THAT LOT FOR WHAT THEY WANNA BUILD.
UM, THERE'S, THERE'S, UH, I, I WORRY A LOT.
I'M A SENIOR CITIZEN AND I WORRY A LOT ABOUT, YOU KNOW, WHAT'S GOING ON IN MY NEIGHBORHOOD AND I JUST DON'T BELIEVE THAT THIS IS IT.
WHERE, WHERE ARE THEY GONNA PARK? UM, YOU KNOW, THERE'S, THERE'S A LOT OF ISSUES AND THERE'S A LOT OF PEOPLE BREAKING INTO HOMES.
I'VE HAD MINE BROKE INTO, I'M NOT SAYING THAT ANYBODY IN THAT PLACE WOULD DO IT, BUT I AM, I AM VOTING AGAINST IT.
PHONE NUMBER IS TWO TEN THREE THREE THREE ONE FOUR SIX SIX.
[00:35:01]
I WANNA STOP THAT.THE REASON AT 2 2 2 37 CHI GREEN.
I WANT, I DON'T, I DON'T LIKE THAT.
DOING THERE TO BUILD THE HOUSES OR WHATEVER.
THEY'RE GONNA BUILD AT 2 37 CHICORY.
IT'S
I'M CALLING TO STOP THAT REZONING OF, UH, 2 37 CHICORY TO A, UH, MULTI-FAMILY RENTAL.
I'M CALLING IN REFERENCE TO THIS LETTER I RECEIVED ABOUT THE STOP REZONING, THE 2 37 SHAKE RING TO A MULTI-FAMILY RENTAL.
I'M CALLING 'CAUSE I NEED, I WANNA, I'M A HOMEOWNER ON ONLAY AND I DO WANNA OPPOSE ON THIS PLAN.
IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, YOU CAN CONTACT ME AT 2 1 0 2 8 8 0 3 3 7.
IS THAT ALL THE VOICEMAILS? YES SIR.
IF WE COULD CALL UP THE FIRST SPEAKER PLEASE.
IS THERE EDWARD FEARS? THANK YOU MR. CHAIR AND, UH, MEMBERS OF THIS COMMISSION.
FIRST OF ALL, I WANNA MAKE SURE THAT, UH, PRETTY MUCH WHAT WE ECHOED FROM THE, THE RECORDINGS ARE PRETTY MUCH WHAT WE LOOKED AT WAS TRAFFIC, CIRCULATION CONTROL ISSUES, SAME ENTRY, SAME EXIT POINT.
THE AREAS CONSTRICTED FROM FENCE POST TO FENCE POSTS OF THE ADJACENT HOMEOWNERS IS 25 FEET.
BUT LOOKING AT SLIDE ONE 50, INSIDE THOSE FENCE POSTS OR TWO UTILITY POSTS FOR C P S, WHICH CONSTRICTS IT DOWN TO 22 FEET AND SIX INCHES, THAT INVITES A CONSTRICTED AREA FOR TRAFFIC TO COME IN.
WHAT REALLY BOTHERING US A LOT IS THE TRAFFIC, CIRCULATION CONTROL REFERENCE, MIXING PEDESTRIAN TRAFFIC AND VEHICULAR TRAFFIC.
WE HAVE SCHOOL CHILDREN THAT ARE DROPPED OFF ON BEETHOVEN STREET, WALK UP THE HILL.
THEIR BACKS ARE GONNA BE TOWARD THE TRAFFIC COMING IN.
A LOT OF KIDS HAVE HEADPHONES IN THEIR EARS.
THAT'S, THAT'S THE WAY IT IS NOWADAYS.
THEY DON'T HEAR THINGS COMING.
A CONSTRICTED AREA INVITES MIRROR STRIKES AND HITS.
UM, ENTRY AND EXITING OF EMERGENCY VEHICLES IS AN ISSUE WE FORESEE.
SOLID WASTE MANAGEMENT IS AN ISSUE BECAUSE IT'S A PRIVATE DRIVE, 150 FEET PLUS GOING INTO THE AREA.
OUR CITY TRUCKS CAN'T MANAGE THAT.
UH, A DUMPSTER TRUCK ALMOST WAVES AS HALF AS MUCH AS AN ABRAMS, UH, M ONE TANK, WHICH IS 54 TONS.
THE U P SS TRUCK, SURE THE U P S TRUCK GOES UP AND DOWN THE STREETS, BUT IN THIS CASE, HE'LL HAVE TO MAKE, TO MAKE HIS DELIVERIES, HE'S GONNA HAVE TO GO DOWN THAT DRIVEWAY.
AND THE ADJACENT NEIGHBORS ARE FEARING FOR THE LIGHTS COMING IN.
AND YOU KNOW HOW QUIET THE U P S TRUCKS ARE.
SO THE LIGHT NOISE DISCIPLINE AT DIFFERENT HOURS OF THE DAY IS GONNA BE AN ISSUE.
ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUES, WE HAVE BEETHOVEN CREEK RUNNING IN THE BACK AND THE PETROLEUM OILS AND LUBRICANTS THAT NATURALLY DRIP FROM VEHICLES IS A CONCERN, ESPECIALLY WITH STORM WATER AND RAINWATER.
CHECKERING STREET HAS A POSITIVE SLOPE TOWARD BEETHOVEN CREEK, AN ENTIRE AREA, SUNNY SLOPE AND PASADENA HEIGHTS, EVERYTHING.
THERE IS NO GUTTERING SYSTEMS. SO THE STREETS ARE WHERE THE DRAINAGE GOES FOLLOWING BEETHOVEN CREEK, EVEN THOSE OUTSIDE THE ZONE OF INFLUENCE, THAT CREEK CONTINUES EAST MAKES A TURN ON PECAN VALLEY TOWARD THE NOT SLAUGHTER CREEK, BUT TO, UH, THE PECAN VALLEY LAKE.
HAVING SAID THAT, UM, WE, UH, AT THIS POINT ARE IN A POST FOR THE
SMALLER, SMALLER AND CONCISE MAKES IN THIS CASE, BIGGER IS NOT BETTER.
UH, IN SUCH A SMALL AREA OF 0.6 ACRES HAD A SIMILAR CASE.
IF YOU REVIEW CASE 1 39, SAME THING, SAME LAYOUT, SAME CONSTRICTION, SAME CONCERNS.
[00:40:01]
THEY CONSTRICTED DOWN TO TO FURTHER.MR. IDA, IF YOU WOULD PLEASE STATE YOUR NAME AND YOUR ADDRESS AND TELL US YOUR OPINION.
YES, MY NAME IS ROBERT IBARRA.
NOT ONLY WOULD THE CONGESTION OF VEHICLES TRYING TO GET INTO THAT N VERY NARROW PATHWAY, UH, AS IT IS RIGHT NOW.
UH, IF YOU GO DOWN SOME OF THE OTHER STREETS, THERE'S CONGESTION ON AMANDA WITH HAVE VEHICLES PARKED ALONGSIDE THE ROAD.
SO IF YOU HAVE MORE THAN TWO VEHICLES TRYING TO PARK IN THERE, IF YOU'RE GONNA BUILD A MULTI-FAMILY UH, FACILITY, YOU'RE GONNA HAVE, I KNOW IT SAYS 1.5, EVERYBODY DOES NOT HAVE 1.5 VEHICLES.
IT'S TWO VEHICLES MAINLY FOR FAMILY.
THEN YOU MAY HAVE ANOTHER FAMILY MEMBER COME AND VISIT.
SO YOU'RE LOOKING AT THREE VEHICLES.
SO IT'S GONNA TAKE UP A LOT OF THE PARKING AND IT'S CREATE CONGESTION.
NOT ONLY THAT, FOR THE KIDS THAT ARE WALKING TO SCHOOL, TO HIGH HIGH SCHOOL, THERE'S P STORED RIGHT DOWN THE ROAD.
UM, I LIVE A THOUSAND FEET AWAY FROM RIGSBY EVERY MORNING, WELL NOT EVERY MORNING, BUT IN THE MORNINGS I CAN HEAR THE, UH, THE TRASH COLLECTIONS PICKING UP THE, THE DUMPSTERS, PICKING IT UP.
AND, AND FOR THOSE OF US THAT HAVE LIVED NEARBY, YOU HEAR THEM, THEY DON'T LAY THEM DOWN GENTLY, THEY SLAMMING DOWN 'CAUSE THEY GOTTA GO AND THEY SHAKE THEM VERY VIGOROUSLY.
SO, UH, THAT, AND THEN AGAIN, UH, NOT ONLY THAT BUT THE ENVIRONMENTAL, UH, THAT'S GONNA CAUSE THE, UH, OIL AND EVERYTHING ELSE ELSE THAT'S GONNA GO OUT INTO THE, UM, BEETHOVEN CREEK TRIBUTARY THAT GOES RIGHT THROUGH THERE.
SO I'M OPPOSED TO THAT MULTI-STORE, MULTI-FAMILY FACILITY.
ALRIGHT, ANY FURTHER PUBLIC COMMENT? THAT'S ALL THE PUBLIC COMMENTS.
MR. UH, BRIEF REBUTTAL PLEASE.
UM, ON THE OCCASIONS THAT WE MET, UH, A LOT OF THE CONCERNS THEY HAVE ARE TECHNICAL.
UH, WE TRY TO EXPLAIN THEM THAT THE CITY IS, IS VERY CAREFUL NOT TO ALLOW AND PROVIDE A LICENSE TO ANYBODY THAT DOES NOT MEET EVERYTHING THAT IT'S IN CODE.
A LOT OF THE CONCERNS I THINK WILL BE MET BY CODE.
IT'S, IT'S KIND OF INTERESTING.
THEY'RE OKAY WITH THE FOUR UNITS, BUT THE SIX UNITS, IT'S SOMETHING THAT'S THEY'RE CONCERN.
UM, IT'S, IT'S, IT'S REALLY NOT THAT MUCH IMPACT AS WE NOTICED ALREADY.
UH, THE AREA, IT, IT'S VERY LOWLY DENSE.
SO, SO I, THAT'S WHY WE BELIEVE THIS PROJECT CAN HELP AND WORK.
UM, PARKING ITSELF, UH, EACH, EACH UNIT HAS PARKING, HAS, UH, A CARPORT FOR TWO AND ADDITIONAL TO THAT THEY HAVE VISITORS PARKING PLUS ANOTHER.
I THINK, UH, ASPECT THAT IS INTERESTING IS THAT IT'S A NARROW ROAD, AS THEY SAID, AND IT'S LONG.
SO NOBODY'S GONNA WANNA PARK IN THE STREET.
I MEAN, IF THEY'RE GONNA VISIT SOMEONE, THEY'RE GONNA HAVE TO PARK INSIDE.
SO I DON'T THINK THAT SHOULD BE A CONCERN.
IT'S NEVER GONNA BE MORE THAN WHAT THEY ALREADY HAVE ON THE STREET.
AND UM, AND AGAIN, THIS IS JUST A PROJECT RIGHT NOW.
WE'RE WILLING TO WORK WITH THEM AND, AND, AND IF THIS GO AND THIS MOVES FORWARD, WE'RE WILLING TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO WORK WITH THEM AND MAKE THIS SOMETHING PLEASING FOR EVERYONE AROUND.
THIS IS A DISTRICT THREE CASE.
UH, COMMISSIONER FUENTES TO YOU FOR QUESTIONS.
I ACTUALLY HAVE A QUESTION FOR THE APPLICANT.
UH, SO, UH, AS IT SENDS RIGHT NOW WE HAVE A, A PLAN FOR SIX UNITS ON THE LOT WITH THE VISITOR PARKING TOWARDS THE BACK.
UM, I'VE HEARD A, A FEW OPINIONS FROM NEIGHBORS, UH, REQUESTING LOWER DENSITY IN, IN HERE.
UH, AND UH, I KNOW THERE'S BEEN SOME BACK AND FORTH.
WHAT WOULD YOU, IN YOUR OPINION, SAY, BE THE LOWEST YOU WOULD BE ABLE TO MAKE THIS PROJECT WORK FOR YOU? WELL, ORIGINALLY WE CAME OUT WITH EIGHT UNITS AND THEY'RE REQUESTING FOUR.
SO THAT'S WHY WE PROPOSED TO MEET IT SOMEWHERE IN THE MIDDLE.
THAT'S WHY WE'RE COMING BACK WITH SIX.
AND, UM, STILL ON THE ISSUE OF DENSITY, WHAT WOULD YOU BE WILLING TO CONSIDER? MAYBE FIVE UNITS WITH A, A LARGER FIFTH UNIT FOR ONE OF THOSE LOTS.
WE DEFINITELY ARE, ARE OPEN TO THAT.
OUR PLAN IS TO BUILD DUPLEXES.
AND UH, THAT'S A GOOD WAY TO ALSO MAKE THEM A LITTLE BIT MORE AFFORDABLE WHEN YOU BUILD THEM.
SO CHANGES THE SCHEME A LITTLE BIT, BUT, BUT IT COULD WORK.
AND DO YOU HAVE A, A, A ROUNDABOUT MEASUREMENT ON THE, UH, ACCESS, THE ACCESS POINT, HOW WIDE? THAT IT'S 25 FEET AND YES.
UH, AS MR. FIERCE UH, EXPLAINED THERE, THERE'S CURRENTLY A POST THAT UH, WE'LL HAVE TO WORK WITH THE C P S AND RELOCATE THAT POST.
[00:45:01]
YOU SIR.ALRIGHT, THANK YOU COMMISSIONER FUENTES QUESTIONS, COMMISSIONERS TO MY RIGHT EFFECT.
YES, COMMISSIONER, I'M GONNA ASK A QUESTION TO THE APPLICANT.
IF YOU COULD JUST GIMME A LITTLE BIT MORE INFORMATION REGARDING THE PARKING IN THE BACK.
AND I, I HEARD SOME OF THE, UH, SOME OF THE PEOPLE THAT WERE SPEAKING A LITTLE WHILE AGO REGARDING ADDRESSING THE CREEK THAT'S ADJACENT TO THE LOT.
AND JUST WANNA SEE IF YOU CAN TELL US A BIT MORE INFORMATION REGARDING HOW YOU'RE PLANNING TO ADDRESS THAT.
UH, THE CREEK OR THE CREEK, I GUESS THE CREEK.
THAT'S WHICH IS THE BEETHOVEN CREEK THAT'S BEHIND IT.
I WAS LOOKING AT AN IMAGE OF IT RIGHT HERE.
WE ARE NOT GONNA TOUCH THE CREEK AND ALL THE STORM WATER.
WELL IT'S GONNA BE ADDRESSED BY A CIVIL ENGINEER OF COURSE.
AND I'M SURE HE'S NOT GONNA BE THROWING ANYTHING THAT'S HARMFUL TO THE CREEK 'CAUSE IT'S, IT'S NOT PERMITTED.
HOWEVER, PARKING, UM, AS YOU CAN SEE, UH, I HAVE A THREE D DRAWING THAT MAYBE EXPLAINS A LITTLE BIT MORE.
UM, NO, YEAH, YOU KNOW IF WE CAN LOWER ONE MORE.
SO LIKE I SAID, EACH, EACH, EACH HOME'S GONNA HAVE UM, A, A TWO CAR PAR, UM, CARPORT AND ADDITIONAL, ADDITIONAL TO THAT BETWEEN UNITS.
WE'RE TRYING TO ALSO LEAVE A PARKING SPOT FOR VISITORS AND WE'RE GONNA HAVE THREE PARKING SPOTS AT THE END.
SO THAT SHOULD COVER EVEN MORE THAN WHAT WE'RE BEING REQUESTED TO, TO, TO PROVIDE FOR PARKING.
YEAH, JUST, JUST FOR CLARIFICATION, STAFF'S ALTERNATIVE RECOMMENDATION WAS FOR FOUR? THAT'S CORRECT.
UM, WITH RESPECT TO RUNOFF FROM NOT JUST THIS PROPERTY BUT ANY PROPERTY, WHAT IS THE PROCESS FOR REVIEW OF THAT ISSUE? UM, IT'S AGAINST STATE LAW TO CREATE RUNOFF ON OTHER PROPERTIES.
SO THAT WOULD BE REVIEWED DURING THE PLATTING PHASE AND ALSO, UM, STORM ROCK WATER WILL DO A REVIEW AND THEY WILL NOT BE ALLOWED TO, UH, FLOOD OTHER PEOPLE'S PROPERTY.
AND SO EVEN THOUGH BEETHOVEN CREEK, WHICH LOOKS LIKE IT'S NOW A CONCRETE LINED CREEK IS BORDERING ONE SIDE OF THIS PROPERTY, UH, STORMWATER AND THE STATE AND THE PLATTING PROCESS, WE'LL TRY TO EITHER MITIGATE, WE'LL ADDRESS ISSUES AMELIORATE OR ADDRESS THOSE ISSUES.
ALRIGHT, ANY FURTHER QUESTIONS? COMMISSIONERS? COMMISSIONERS.
ALRIGHT COMMISSIONER PUENTES TO YOU FOR DISCUSSION AND POSSIBLE MOTION.
SO, UM, HAVING DRIVEN THROUGH THIS NEIGHBORHOOD A FEW TIMES, UM, I DON'T AGREE THAT THE DENSITY OF UH, YOU KNOW, EVEN SIX UNITS IS APPROPRIATE.
UM, I UNDERSTAND THAT THIS PROJECT IS GOOD.
IT, IT PROVIDES THE MUCH NEEDED HOUSING FOR THE AREA.
UM, AND UH, BECAUSE OF THAT I WOULD MAKE THE RECOMMENDATION TO APPROVE, UH, WITH PERMITTED USE OF UP TO FIVE UNITS FOR THE UH, PROPERTY.
THERE IS A MOTION FOR I D Z ONE WITH USES FOR FIVE RESIDENCES.
IS THAT AN APPROPRIATE MOTION? IT WOULD BE UM, RECOMMENDATION OF DENIAL WITH AN ALTERNATE RECOMMENDATION FOR FIVE UNITS.
RECOMMENDATION FOR DENIAL TO ALTERNATE? YES.
WE CURRENTLY HAVE A RECOMMENDATION OF DENIAL WITH AN ALTERNATE RECOMMENDATION FOR FIVE UNITS.
I'M GONNA GO WITH WHITE 'CAUSE I WAS STARING AT HIM.
UM, I WAS WAITING FOR HIM TO PULL THE TRIGGER.
UM, THERE'S A MOTION TO RECOMMEND DENIAL WITH AN ALTERNATE RECOMMENDATION FOR FIVE UNITS.
UM, DISCUSSION COMMISSIONERS TO MY LEFT.
SO AGAIN, I JUST NEED TO GET A CLARIFICATION.
I THOUGHT I HEARD IN THE DISCUSSION WITH THE APPLICANT THAT HE WOULD BE WILLING TO WORK TO FIVE UNITS.
IS THAT CORRECT? DID I NOT GET THAT CORRECTLY? THE APPLICANT'S REPRESENTATIVE? SURE, COME ON UP.
WE'LL GO A LITTLE OUT OF ORDER.
SO STAFF, DOES HE HAVE TO MAKE AN ADJUSTMENT TO HIS UH, YES.
HE WILL NEED TO OFFICIALLY AMEND.
[00:50:01]
AND WHEN IS A GOOD TIME TO DO THAT? RIGHT NOW WOULD BE GOOD.SO MR. CHAIRMAN, MAY I SUGGEST THE APPLICANT CAN COME BACK TO THE PODIUM? VERY GOOD.
MR. ES UM, IF YOU ARE OKAY WITH FIVE, UH, DO YOU FORMALLY AMEND YOUR REQUEST TO I D Z ONE WITH USES FOR FIVE UNITS? YES SIR.
I FORMALLY REQUEST THE AMENDMENT FOR FIVE UNITS.
AND STAFF, AN OMITTED SITE PLAN WILL BE REQUIRED BEFORE IT GOES TO COUNSEL.
AND THAT HAS TO OCCUR WITHIN SIX MONTHS? CORRECT.
SO NOW UH, THERE WAS A MOTION FOR DENIAL WITH ALTERNATE RECOMMENDATION AND A SECOND.
SO THAT IS A LIVE MOTION WE CAN WITHDRAW AT CITY ATTORNEY'S OFFICE.
MR. UH, COMMISSIONER FUENTES, DO YOU WITHDRAW? I WITHDRAW.
ALRIGHT, THE FLOOR IS NOW OPEN FOR A MOTION IN LIGHT OF THE AMENDMENT BY THE APPLICANT'S REPRESENTATIVE.
I'D LIKE TO, UH, MOTION FOR A APPROVAL AS AMENDED BY THE APPLICANT.
ALRIGHT, THERE'S A MOTION FOR APPROVAL AS AMENDED BY THE APPLICANT.
IS THERE A SECOND? I'LL SECOND THAT.
OH, IT'S A LOT OF HARD THOUGHT IN THAT.
ALRIGHT, THE MOTION IS NOW FOR APPROVAL AS AMENDED, UH, BY COMMISSIONER FUENTES WITH A SECOND BY COMMISSIONER WHITE DISCUSSION LEFT.
BRIEFLY, MR. MIAM MONTES, AS I MENTIONED, AN UPDATED SITE PLAN WILL BE REQUIRED.
UM, YOU KNOW, YOU COULD ALSO LOOK AT ADDITIONAL PARKING, ADDITIONAL GREEN SPACE, SOMETHING ALONG THOSE LINES GIVEN THE LACK OF THAT SIXTH UNIT AND I WOULD ENCOURAGE YOU TO DO SO.
THERE BEING NO FURTHER DISCUSSION.
THE MOTION IS FOR APPROVAL AS AMENDED BY COMMISSIONER FUENTES WITH THE SECOND BY COMMISSIONER WHITE ROLL CALL VOTE PLEASE.
COMMISSIONER LOGIA HOLLAND? YES.
ALRIGHT, WE ARE MOVING ON NOW TO ITEM NUMBER FIVE, ANN BEAVIS ZONING PLANNER WITH DEVELOPMENT SERVICES.
ITEM NUMBER FIVE IS LOCATED AT 2 3 2 SHERWOOD DRIVE AND IS A PROPOSAL TO GO FROM R FIVE, UH, R FIVE CD FOR A PROFESSIONAL OFFICE TO C TWO CD, UH, FOR A CONSTRUCTIVE TRADE CONTRACTOR.
WITH ALL OVERLAYS REMAINING THE SAME, THERE ARE 20 NOTICES MAILED WITH TWO RETURN IN FAVOR, ZERO IN OPPOSITION.
AND LOS ANGELES HEIGHTS NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATION HAS NO OBJECTIONS.
STAFF DOES FIND EVIDENCE OF LIKELY ADVERSE IMPACTS ON NEIGHBORING LANDS IN RELATION TO THE ZONING CHANGE REQUEST.
THE PROPOSED USE IS NOT CONSISTENT WITH THE ESTABLISHED RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT PATTERN OF THE SURROUNDING AREA.
WHILE THE PROPERTIES TO THE NORTH OF THE SUBJECT PROPERTY HAVE COMMERCIAL ZONING DESIGNATIONS, THEY'RE ACCESSED AND ADDRESSED OFF OF THE INTERSTATE 10 ACCESS ROAD AND SERVE AS A BUFFER BETWEEN THE HIGHWAY AND THE RESIDENTIAL PROPERTIES IN THE SOUTHERN BLOCK.
WHERE THE SUBJECT PROPERTY IS LOCATED, STAFF RECOMMENDS DENIAL AND THE APPLICANT IS HERE TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS.
ALRIGHT, IF THE APPLICANT WOULD COME FORWARD, GIVE US YOUR NAME, YOUR ADDRESS AND TELL US ABOUT YOUR REQUEST.
UM, WE ARE LOOKING AT REZONING THIS PROPERTY TO A FIVE UNIT RENTAL TO WHERE UH, WE WERE ABLE TO HAVE A ELECTRICIAN OR SOMEBODY TO BE ABLE TO STORE ANY OF THEIR MATERIAL IN THE BACK OF THE PROPERTY.
UH, PROPERTY'S ABOUT 1.1 ACRES ON THE RIGHT AT 2 4 0.
THERE'S AN HVAC COMPANY ON THE RIGHT OF THE HVAC COMPANY IS TWO CHURCHES IN FRONT OF THE PROPERTY.
YOU CAN SEE THE WHOLE, UH, INTERSTATE FREEWAY.
AT THE END OF THE PROPERTY IS SHERWOOD IS A, UH, LANDSCAPE COMPANY.
SO WE DO HAVE A FEW HOMES LEFT IN THE, IN THAT PROPERTY.
THE PROPERTY RIGHT TO THE LEFT OF 2 3 2 HAS GAVE ME THE PERMISSION, UH, SENT THE NOTIFICATION OVER TO ANN PINDA STATING THAT THEY ARE ALLOWING ME TO REZONE AS LONG AS I CONSTRUCT AN EIGHT FOOT FENCE PRIVACY FENCE FOR 'EM.
SO PRETTY MUCH I'VE GOT WITH ALL THE NEIGHBORS, UH, THEY PRETTY MUCH SAID IT'S PERFECTLY FINE.
I'M ACTUALLY THE OWNER OF PROPERTY 2 4 0 ON THE RIGHT OF 2 3 2.
ALRIGHT, IS THERE ANY PUBLIC COMMENT ON THIS ITEM? THERE'S NO PUBLIC COMMENT.
ALRIGHT, THIS IS A DISTRICT ONE CASE, SO IT IS TO COMMISSIONER GREATHOUSE FOR QUESTIONS.
DO WE HAVE A SITE PLAN FOR THIS THAT WE CAN PULL UP?
[00:55:06]
OKAY, PERFECT.AND, UM, COULD YOU EXPLAIN THE USE FOR CONSTRUCTION TRADE CONTRACTOR? SO WHAT IS, WHAT EXACTLY IS THAT GOING TO ALLOW AND IS THERE OUTSIDE STORAGE PERMITTED WHEN THERE'S TRADES? UM, IT'S YOUR ELECTRICAL CONTRACTORS, H V A C, UM, PLUMBING, ALL OF THOSE TYPES OF USES.
AND HE'S PROPOSING A STORAGE, UM, BUILDING IN THE BACK THAT IS COMPLETELY ENCLOSED, UM, FOR THE STORAGE OF ANY RELATED CONTRACTOR MATERIALS.
AND THEN THE PORTION IN THE FRONT OF THE PROPERTY IS TO BE LIKE A MULTI-OFFICE SPACE FOR THE CONTRACTORS.
BUT BECAUSE OF THE NATURE OF THE USE, UH, WE HAVE TO GO WITH THE MOST INTENSE USE OF THE USE CLASSIFICATION, WHICH IN THIS CIRCUMSTANCE IS A, UH, CONSTRUCTION TRADES CONTRACTOR.
AND BECAUSE THIS IS CONDITIONAL WOULD BE A CONDITIONAL USE, UM, WHAT ARE THE CONDITIONS THAT WE CAN PUT ON IT AGAIN? CAN YOU GIMME A WHAT, LIKE A LIST OF THOSE? YOU CAN PUT ANY NUMBER OF CONDITIONS YOU CAN DO.
UM, LANDSCAPE BUFFERING, NO TEMPORARY SIGNAGE, ANY LIGHTING, SECURITY LIGHTING, UH, FACING DOWNWARD AND AWAY FROM RESIDENTIAL AREAS.
FENCE REQUIREMENT, ALTHOUGH HE ALREADY HAS SOME BUILT-IN FENCE REQUIREMENTS BECAUSE OF THE ADJACENT, UM, RESIDENTIAL ZONING DISTRICTS AND USES.
AND THEN, UM, FOR YOU, UH, SIR, UM, WHAT ARE YOU PLANNING YOUR HOURS OF OPERATION TO BE? UH, JUST REGULAR EIGHT TO FIVE OR AT THE LATEST SIX.
SO IT'S NOT GONNA BE, UM, A LOT OF CONS, A LOT OF TRAFFIC GOING THROUGH IN AND OUT, JUST NORMAL, NORMAL WORKING HOURS.
ALSO THE, UH, NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATION, UH, HERB, HE SAYS THAT, UH, THEY HAVE NO, NO ISSUES WITH IT.
UH, HE SAYS THAT HE KNOWS SHERWOOD DRIVE IS TURNED INTO A COMMERCIAL AREA, SO HE SAID IT WAS PERFECTLY FINE THROUGH THEM.
UM, SO THEN WOULD YOU BE OKAY WITH HOURS OF OPERATION MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY FROM EIGHT TO 6:00 PM 8:00 AM TO 6:00 PM AND THEN PROBABLY SATURDAY LIKE A NINE TO THREE.
AND THEN YOU MENTIONED A PRIVACY FENCE.
UM, DID YOU, DID YOU SAY EIGHT FOOT PRIVACY FENCE? YES, MA'AM.
AND THEN THE, THE SITE PLAN SAYS SIX FOOT.
SO YEAH, WE, UH, CHANGED IT BECAUSE OF COURSE I CAN'T GET APPROVAL OF AN EIGHT FOOT UNLESS IT GETS REZONED.
ONCE IT GETS REZONED THEN THE EIGHT FOOT FENCE WOULD BE ALLOWED.
AND SO THE UH, NEIGHBOR IS UH, PERFECTLY FINE WITH THAT.
I DON'T HAVE ANY FURTHER QUESTIONS.
ANY FURTHER QUESTIONS? COMMISSIONERS ON MY LEFT.
STAFF, THIS DID GO BEFORE PLANNING.
WHAT WAS THE OUTCOME AT PLANNING COMMISSION? I RECOMMENDED APPROVAL.
ALRIGHT, UM, THIS IS NOW TO COMMISSIONER GREATHOUSE, A DISTRICT ONE CASE FOR DISCUSSION AND MOTION.
I MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE ITEM NUMBER FIVE WITH THE FOLLOWING CONDITIONS, HOURS OF OPERATION MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY, 8:00 AM TO 6:00 PM SATURDAY, 9:00 AM TO 3:00 PM UM, NO TEMPORARY SIGNAGE, NO OUTSIDE STORAGE, DOWNWARD FACING LIGHTING.
AND UM, THEN A, A MODIFICATION OF THE, UH, PRIVACY FENCE TO BE EIGHT FEET INSTEAD OF SIX FEET.
SO THE HOURS OF OPERATIONS, UH, EIGHT TO SIX, NINE TO THREE ON SATURDAY, UH, LIGHTS YOU'RE SAYING FACING DOWN TO WHERE THEY'RE NOT POINTING UP IN THE AIR.
UM, WHAT WAS THE OTHER, NO, TEMPORARY SIGNAGE.
WHAT DOES THAT MEAN EXACTLY? STAFF? CAN YOU THAT'S A BANDIT SIGNS, WIND WAIVERS, PENANCE.
SO MORE OF A, A PERMANENT SIGN.
PERMANENT SIGNS WILL BE ALLOWED PER CODE.
UM, CORRECT, BUT, BUT NONE OF THE, YOU KNOW, CRAZY FLOPPY ARMED GUYS, THINGS LIKE THAT.
I WENT BRAIN DEAD WHEN I CAME BACK UP.
I WAS LIKE, WHAT DID YOU SAY?
THERE IS A MOTION FOR APPROVAL WITH THE CONDITIONS AS LISTED ON THE RECORD.
IS THERE A SECOND? WE'LL SECOND THEN.
FROM COMMISSIONER REBUTTALS, UH, DISCUSSION COMMISSIONERS TO MY LEFT.
UH, THE MOTION IS FOR APPROVAL WITH CONDITIONS AS LISTED ON THE RECORD BY COMMISSIONER GREATHOUSE WITH A SECOND BY COMMISSIONER BARROS.
[01:00:01]
YES.COMMISSIONER LEGIA HOLLAND? YES.
MOTION PASSES WITH CONDITIONS.
YOU'RE ON TO, UH, CITY COUNCIL NOW.
ALRIGHT, WE ARE GOING TO MOVE ON NOW TO ITEM NUMBER 13.
THIS IS KELLY SANDERS, SENIOR PLANNER.
I AM, UM, PRESENTING ITEM NUMBER 13 AS A REQUEST TO REZONE FROM R FOUR TO I IDZ TWO WITH A USE FOR FOUR DWELLING UNITS WITH ALL ZONING OVERLAYS TO REMAIN THE SAME.
UM, LOCATED AT 1108 GIBBS STREET, UM, 27 NOTICES, UM, WAIT NOTICES WERE SENT OUT, ZERO IN FAVOR, ZERO OPPOSED AND NO RESPONSE FROM THE NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATION.
UM, STAFF DOES FIND THAT LIKELY ADVERSE IMPACTS ON NEIGHBORING LANDS IN RELATION TO THE ZONING CHANGE.
UH, THE, THE SURROUNDING NEIGHBORS ARE, UM, ZONED R FOUR AND LARGELY DEVELOPED AS RESIDENTIAL SINGLE FAMILY LOTS.
UM, STAFF IS RECOMMENDING DENIAL AND THE APPLICANT IS PRESENT.
IF WE COULD HAVE THE APPLICANT PLEASE MA'AM, IF YOU WOULD STATE YOUR NAME AND YOUR ADDRESS FOR THE RECORD AND TELL US ABOUT YOUR REZONING REQUEST.
HI EVERYONE, MY NAME IS ES YIN.
UH, ADDRESS OF THE PROPERTIES 1 1 0 8 GIBBS.
UM, I ORIGINALLY APPLIED FOR THE REZONING FOR FOUR UNITS.
I, AFTER I SPOKE WITH THE PRESIDENT OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD AND MR. DALE, UH, BROOKS, WHICH IS THE ZONING LIAISON, THEY DID NOT LIKE MY IDEA.
SO THEY RECOMMEND ME TO GO WITH A THREE UNIT.
SO TODAY I'LL BE PRESENTING, UM, A THREE UNIT PROJECT INSTEAD OF FOUR.
SO I WILL BE APPLYING FOR THE PLAN AMENDMENT.
UM, OKAY, SO THIS IS, UM, LEGAL DESCRIPTION OF THE PROPERTY.
THIS IS THE SIZE OF THE LOT, UM, DEPTH AND THE FRONT AND BACK, HOW BIG IT IS.
UH, IF YOU CAN JUST GO BACK FOR A LITTLE BIT, IF YOU CAN SEE IN THERE, WE HAVE AN EXISTING DUPLEX UPFRONT AND UH, THIS IS JUST THE ORIGINAL SURVEY OF THE PROPERTY.
SO, UM, MY REQUEST IS TO GO FROM THREE, UH, 4, 3 4 SINGLE FAMILY WITH A LOUD DUPLEX, UH, THAT WAS BUILT IN 1931 AND GO TO I D Z TWO.
UM, WITH USES PERMITTED UP TO THREE DWELLINGS.
OKAY, SO MY PROPOSAL IS JUST LEAVE THE EXISTING DUPLEX IN PLACE AND JUST ADD ONE ADDITIONAL UNIT IN THE BACK.
UM, IN HERE YOU WILL BE ABLE TO SEE THE DUPLEX UPFRONT.
AND HERE IN THE BACK COUPLE OF MONTHS AGO, THERE WAS ALREADY LIKE A CASITA IN PLACE.
I, WHEN I PURCHASED THE PROPERTY THAT CASITA WAS GONE.
SO BASICALLY I WILL BE DOING SOMETHING SIMILAR, JUST BUILDING A WHOLE NEW UNIT IN THE BACK.
UH, THIS IS JUST A VISUALIZATION OF HOW IT LOOK COUPLE OF MONTHS AGO AND IT'S GOING TO TECHNICALLY BE, BE VERY SIMILAR TO WHAT I'M GOING TO BE DOING.
SO AS YOU CAN SEE IN HERE, THIS IS THE EXISTING DUPLEX.
I WILL BE ADDING SOME SQUARE FOOTAGE.
SO RIGHT NOW THE DUPLEX ARE 500 SQUARE FOOTAGE AND I WILL BE, UH, BUMP IT UP TO NINE HUNDRED AND SIXTY SIXTY TWO EACH.
I WILL BE PROVIDING PARKING SPACES UPFRONT FOR EACH SO WE CAN HAVE ORDER AND ORGANIZATION.
AND THEN HERE IN THE BACK, THIS IS WHERE I WANNA BUILD MY THIRD UNIT WITH APPROPRIATE PARKING SPACES.
UM, THIS IS JUST A PURPOSE OF MY, YOU KNOW, REZONING APPLICATION JUST TO ENHANCE, UH, THE PROPERTY POTENTIAL TO THE BEDS OF IT, UH, BEDS OF ITS ABILITY TO ULTIMATELY PROVIDE A BETTER QUALITY OF LIVING FOR SAN ANTONIO RESIDENTS.
UH, THIS IS THE IDEA, UM, URBAN MODERN KIND OF UNIT FOR THE ONE IN THE BACK.
UM, I BELIEVE MY PROPOSAL AND MY PLAN IS VERY COMPATIBLE WITH THE CITY'S MASTER PLAN, UM, FOR URBAN DEVELOPMENT AND SOUND GROWTH.
THESE TWO PICTURES IS, ARE OF SOME UNITS THAT ARE ALREADY BUILT IN THE SAME AREA.
SO THIS IS KIND OF COMMON IN JEFFERSON HEIGHTS.
UM, I CURRENTLY HAVE AN ANTIQUATED PLAN AND I ALREADY, UM, STARTED THE PROCESS FOR A NEW
[01:05:01]
PLAT SO I CAN DO THIS UNDER THE LAW.UH, IS THERE ANY PUBLIC COMMENT ON THIS ITEM? NO, SIR.
UM, OKAY, THIS IS A DISTRICT TWO CASE, SO IT IS TO COMMISSIONER WATSON FOR QUESTIONS.
UH, THANK YOU FOR YOUR PRESENTATION.
I DO HAVE A FEW QUESTIONS FOR YOU.
UM, I KNOW THIS IS AN AMENDED PLAN.
UM, BASED ON SOME CONVERSATIONS YOU'VE HAD WITH THE OFFICE AND THE NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATION PRESIDENT, HAVE THEY SEEN, UM, SPECIFICALLY HAS THE NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATION BEEN HAD AN OPPORTUNITY TO LOOK AT YOUR NEW SITE PLAN AND RENDERINGS OR WHO HAVE YOU SHOWN THAT TO SO FAR? NO MA'AM.
THEY HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO SEE IT.
WE ACTUALLY, UM, MEET IN PRISON IN THE PROPERTY, UM, LAST WEEK.
SO IT, IT WAS JUST A COINCIDENCE THAT I WAS THERE.
THEY WERE THERE TAKING A LOOK AT, YOU KNOW, THE WHOLE LOT AND WE SPOKE ABOUT IT.
THEY JUST THOUGHT THAT THE DENSITY OF THE LOT WAS NOT APPROPRIATE FOR FOUR UNITS.
SO RIGHT THEN IN THERE, THEY JUST RECOMMEND ME JUST TO PROVIDE A, YOU KNOW, SITE PLAN WITH THREE UNITS.
SO I KI KIND OF STAY KIND OF THE SAME, YOU KNOW, AS FAR AS SQUARE FOOTAGE AND EVERYTHING, JUST MAKE IT SMALLER SO THEY CAN, YOU KNOW, THEY'LL BE MORE HAPPIER.
AND BOTH OF THEM WERE ON BOARD.
UM, PRE THE PRESIDENT OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD WAS KIND OF WORRIED ABOUT THE REAR SETBACK OF THE DUPLEX X AND THE NEW UNITS.
UM, AND IN MY NEW SITE PLAN, I'M PROVIDING MORE OF A REAR SETBACK, 10 FEET IN EACH SITE.
SO YOU KNOW, THERE WOULD BE MORE SPACE.
UM, COULD WE PULL UP THE SITE PLAN PLEASE? UH, JUST A CLARIFICATION, SO THAT I SEE THE TWO, UM, PARKING SPACES FOR THE FRONT DUPLEX ARE IN THE FRONT OF THE PROPERTY.
UM, AND I KNOW THERE ARE SOME NEWER BUILDS THAT HAVE THAT.
CAN YOU, IS THIS SPACE, UM, IN FRONT OF IT THAT IS WHITE? I'M SORRY, I'M, I'M NOT ARCHITECTS.
I'M HAVING A LITTLE BIT OF HARD TIME READING THAT.
IS THAT GONNA BE YARD IS THAT STREET IS LIKE, HOW CLOSE ARE THOSE PARKING SPACES TO THE ACTUAL STREET ITSELF AND HOW LONG ARE YOU THINKING THEY'RE GONNA BE? SO THESE PARKING SPACES, THE ONE FACING GIBBS? MM-HMM.
SO THOSE, UM, RIGHT NOW WE HAVE LIKE, UM, TURN AROUND IN THERE.
UH, SO I'M PLANNING JUST TO REMOVE THAT AND PUT THE PARKING SPACE, UH, ALL THE PROPERTIES HAVE, YOU KNOW, THAT TYPE OF, I MEAN PARKING SPACES IN THERE.
UM, I'M JUST, UH, HOW BIG THEY'RE GOING TO BE 200 AND 270 FEET, UH, FOR TWO.
OKAY, SO THERE'S NOT REALLY A DRIVEWAY NECESSARILY, IT'S JUST PULL UP AND PARK? EXACTLY, YES.
FOR THE EXISTING DUPLEX, YES MA'AM.
I'M JUST GOING TO MAKE IT BETTER BECAUSE RIGHT NOW IT IS JUST LIKE A TURNAROUND, YOU KNOW, AND TECHNICALLY PEOPLE CANNOT LIKE A LITTLE PATHWAY.
I WOULD SAY TECHNICALLY PEOPLE, I MEAN THEY CANNOT REALLY PARK THERE, SO I'M JUST MAKING IT, YOU KNOW, MORE CONVENIENT FOR PEOPLE TO JUST GO AND PARK.
UM, I'LL JUST NOTE ON THE STAFF SIDE THAT THAT WILL BE REVIEWED BY TRAFFIC AND SO WE WILL NEED TO BE SURE THAT THEY CAN SELL SAFELY BACK INTO THE STREET IN ORDER TO UTILIZE THAT DESIGN.
SO IT MIGHT SLIGHTLY CHANGE, BUT FOR THE MOST PART THAT IS, UH, THE DESIRED EFFECT.
AND THEN, UM, THE PARTS OF THE PROPERTY THAT, UM, ARE IN BETWEEN THE UNITS, UM, ARE YOU PLANNING ON SEPARATING LIKE THE YARDS BETWEEN THE FRONT AND THE BACK? WHAT IS YOUR VISION FOR ANYTHING THAT'S NOT COVERED FOR THE LOT? ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT THIS OR, OR HERE? UH, IN, IN BETWEEN THE TWO UNITS.
SO IN THERE I'M PLANNING TO PUT A FENCE TO DIVIDE BOTH PROPERTIES SO THEY CAN HAVE PRIVACY.
UM, AND THEN THE, ARE YOU PLANNING ON RENTING OR THE UNITS OR PUTTING THEM ON THE MARKET? IF I'M PLANNING ON RENTING THE UNITS, YES.
INCLUDING THE NEW ONE IN THE BACK? YES.
ANY QUESTIONS? COMMISSIONERS ON MY LEFT? UH, OKAY COMMISSIONER, I HAVE A QUESTION.
UM, FOR THAT, I GUESS THE UNIT IN THE BACK, IS THE ACCESS GONNA BE GOING TO PASO HONDO? IS THAT THE ENTRANCE FOR THAT FOR THEIR PARKING? YES SIR.
SO THE, YES, SO IN HERE YOU'LL SEE THE PARKING.
UM, SO THE ENTRANCE WILL BE RIGHT HERE.
ALRIGHT, THANK YOU COMMISSIONER GREATHOUSE QUESTION FOR STAFF.
UM, I D Z TWO VERSUS I D Z ONE.
SO CAN YOU ENLIGHTEN US A LITTLE BIT ON WHY THIS IS AN I DZ TWO PROJECT? IT'S AN I D DZ TWO BECAUSE SHE WAS REQUESTING FOUR, BUT SHE HAS AMENDED DOWN SO NOW IT CAN BE AN I D Z ONE FOR THREE UNITS.
[01:10:01]
WHAT WOULD THE DIFFERENCE BE AND WHAT'S ALLOWED TO BE DEVELOPED ON THE PROPERTY WITH THOSE? SURE.SO THE, IT ONLY ALLOWS THE MAXIMUM DENSITY OF THE THREE UNITS AND UH, THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN I D Z ONE AND I D Z TWO IS THAT I D Z ONE WAIVES THE PARKING REQUIREMENT WHILE I D Z TWO REDUCES IT BY 50%.
AND THEN AS FAR AS THE STORIES, HOW TALL THE HOUSE CAN BE, UH, I D Z ONE LIMITS IT TO TWO AND A HALF STORIES OR 35 FEET AND I D Z TWO IS A MAXIMUM OF FOUR STORIES.
UM, I THINK THAT'S ALL MY QUESTIONS.
ALRIGHT, COMMISSIONERS TO MY RIGHT.
ALRIGHT STAFF TO FOLLOW UP ON COMMISSIONER GREAT HOUSE'S QUESTION.
ALRIGHT, SO SAY IF WE WERE TO ASK THE APPLICANT, AND THIS IS HYPOTHETICAL, UH, TO AMEND DOWN TO I D Z ONE WITH USES FOR THREE UNITS, SAME SITE PLAN AS GIVEN, EVEN THOUGH I D Z ONE DOESN'T HAVE REQUIREMENTS FOR PARKING.
IF PARKING IS SHOWN ON THE SITE PLAN, WOULD THEY BE REQUIRED TO HAVE THAT PARKING? YES, IT'S THE APP.
WHATEVER'S APPROVED ON THE SITE PLAN.
SO I D Z ONE WOULD BE PERHAPS PREFERABLE HERE? YES SIR.
UM, ANY FURTHER QUESTIONS? COMMISSIONERS DON'T HAVE A TIME? OH WAIT,
ANY FURTHER QUESTIONS? COMMISSIONERS? TO MY RIGHT.
COMMISSIONER WATSON TO YOU, UM, I APPRECIATE THAT YOU'VE AMENDED THE PLAN, UM, BASED ON THAT CONVERSATION, UM, I WOULD AND I RECOMMEND THAT WE DO ID Z ONE, UM, WHICH LED TO MY QUESTIONS ABOUT THE PARKING AND I APPRECIATE THE CLARIFYING QUESTIONS TO KIND OF UNDERSTAND WHERE I WAS GOING WITH THAT FROM MY FELLOW COMMISSIONERS.
UM, I WOULD LIKE THE OPPORTUNITY FOR, UM, THE NEIGHBORHOOD TO HAVE A CHANCE TO LOOK AT YOUR PLAN BEFORE.
UM, I MAKE A, A MOTION TO MOVE IT FORWARD JUST SO THAT SOME OF THE THINGS YOU BROUGHT UP, LIKE A CONCERN ABOUT SETBACKS AND THINGS CAN BE ADDRESSED BY MORE THAN JUST THE NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATION PRESIDENT.
UM, AND WE'LL BE HAPPY TO SUPPORT WITH THAT.
UM, SO WITH THAT I'D LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION TO CONTINUE FOR TWO WEEKS AND THEN, UM, WORK WITH YOU TO MAKE SURE WE DO SOME ADDITIONAL COMMUNITY OUTREACH.
ALRIGHT, THERE'S A COM UH, MOTION FOR CONTINUANCE OF ITEM NUMBER 13 TO TWO WEEKS, WHICH IS SEPTEMBER 6TH.
ALRIGHT, I'M GOING WITH GREATHOUSE ON THIS ONE.
TIME ON THIS ROOM IS SIMILAR TO 35 NORTH SAN ANTONIO.
WE'RE NOT GOING THAT WAY
UM, ALRIGHT, ANY DISCUSSION? COMMISSIONERS ON MY LEFT? YES, COMMISSIONER GREATHOUSE.
UM, I'LL, I'LL BE SUPPORTING THE MOTION OBVIOUSLY.
UM, ONE CONCERN THAT I'VE, IN ADDITION TO, I THINK, UH, I, I TEND TO AGREE WITH, UM, COMMISSIONER WATSON WITH RESPECT TO I D Z ONE VERSUS I D Z TWO AND LIMITING THE HEIGHT.
UM, BUT I DO HAVE A CONCERN WITH THE PLACEMENT OF THE PARKING.
UM, JUST IN KEEPING WITH THE NEIGHBORHOOD CHARACTER.
THERE ARE OTHER PROPERTIES THAT HAVE PARKING, ALTHOUGH IT'S NOT DIRECTLY IN FRONT OF THE HOME THE WAY THAT THIS IS BEING PROPOSED IT IS WITH, UM, UH, LIKE A DRIVEWAY AND THE FOLKS ARE JUST KIND OF PARKING THERE BUT THEY COULD PULL BACK IF THEY WANTED TO.
SO I JUST DO HAVE A CONCERN WITH THAT AS FAR AS, UM, ALTERING THE CHARACTER OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD AND THE, THE, UM, ADDITION OF IMPERVIOUS COVER AS WELL TO THE PROPERTY.
ALRIGHT, COMMISSIONERS TO MY LEFT DISCUSSION, COMMISSIONER TO MY RIGHT.
ALRIGHT, UM, I AGREE WITH COMMISSIONER GREATHOUSE REGARDING THE I D Z ONE.
I HOPE YOU WILL EXPLORE THAT AND CONSIDER AMENDING IT.
UM, WITH RESPECT TO THE IMPERVIOUS COVER, YOU KNOW, I THINK THERE ARE SOME PARKING SOLUTIONS YOU CAN USE THAT WOULD MINIMIZE THAT OR MITIGATE THAT CONCERN.
UM, BUT I WILL SUPPORT THE MOTION FOR CONTINUANCE.
UH, ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION? SEEING NONE MOTIONS FOR CONTINUANCE TO SEPTEMBER 6TH OF ITEM NUMBER 13 BY COMMISSIONER WATSON WITH A SECOND BY COMMISSIONER GREATHOUSE ROLL CALL, VOTE PLEASE.
[Approval and consideration of the August 2nd, 2022 minutes.]
FOR CONTINUANCE.ALRIGHT, ARE THERE ANY OTHER ITEMS TO CONSIDER TODAY OTHER THAN MINUTES? ALRIGHT.
UM, RIGHT NOW WE HAVE TO CONSIDER THE MINUTES FOR, OH MY GOSH.
I WAS GONNA GET THERE EVENTUALLY.
UM, COMMISSIONERS, IS THERE ANY AMENDMENTS, CHANGES, SPELLING ERRORS, ANYTHING LIKE THAT THAT WE NEED
[01:15:01]
TO CHANGE WITH RESPECT TO THE AUGUST 2ND MIN MINUTES? ALRIGHT, SEEING NONE THIS VOTE CAN BE BY ACCLIMATION.ALL THOSE IN FAVOR OF APPROVING THE AUGUST 2ND MINUTES OF THE ZONING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF SAN ANTONIO? SAY AYE.
ALRIGHT, SO WE HAVE TWO ABSTENTIONS.
COMMISSIONER GREATHOUSE AND MYSELF, UH, MINUTES ARE APPROVED.
DO WE HAVE A DIRECTOR'S REPORT? JUST ONE QUICK ANNOUNCEMENT.
