IF WE COULD HEAR THE SPEAKER FOR ITEM THREE FIRST.
AT THIS TIME YOU CAN EITHER SPEAK NOW, UM, THE ITEM IS UP FOR A CONTINUANCE FOR A COUPLE WEEKS.
THAT'S WHY IF I CAN ADDRESS THE QUESTIONS, THEN MAYBE WE CAN RESOLVE AT THE SAME TIME OR WE GO WITH CONTINUANCE.
AND JUST GIVE YOUR NAME, ADDRESS.
I LIVE AT 1 6 9 1 1 MOUNT EVEREST.
I'M THE H O A PRESIDENT OF K M L A, WHICH IS A PART OF THIS PROPERTY THAT THESE NINE PROPERTIES HERE ON PIPESTONE.
AND THE QUESTION, AND, AND I DID SPEAK WITH OUR COUNSEL OFFICE, UM, THEY GOT THEIR NOTICE VERY LATE.
I DID PUT NOTICES ON SOME OF THESE, UH, ALL ACTUALLY ALL THESE PROPERTIES.
I HAVE SPOKEN TO TWO PROPERTY OWNERS AND UM, I GUESS TO CORRECT THE RECORD WHEN IT SAID THAT THERE WAS NO H O A, WE DO HAVE AN H O A HERE, JUDITH EU, WHO IS ALSO UM, PRESIDENT OF OAK HAVEN, OUR SISTER SUBDIVISION.
THEY DON'T TECHNICALLY HAVE A LOT WITHIN THIS 200 FEET, BUT THEY HAVE ALREADY PUT IN THEIR VOTE NO, UM, AGAINST THE ZONING.
NOW MY QUESTION IS THIS IS IF WE'VE GOT NINE PROPERTIES IN THIS 200 SQUARE FEET, UM, NOTIFICATION HERE OF THE NINE, I'VE SPOKEN TO TWO AND I THINK THAT WOULD REPRESENT 20% OF THESE PARTICULAR PROPERTIES.
AND UH, THEY ARE WITHIN THAT OUTER 200 SQUARE FEET.
SO MY QUESTION IS, IF WE CAN RESOLVE THIS TODAY, UM, LOT NUMBER 1831.
YOU CAN SEE WHERE THE RED LINE GOES INTO JANET COX'S PROPERTY.
SO SHE, HER, HER VOTE DOES COUNT.
UM, THE OTHER ONE THAT I KNOW PERSONALLY THAT HAS RESPONDED IS THE PROPERTY AT 1814.
SHE HAS SPOKEN TO ME AND SAID THAT SHE MAILED HER LITTLE NOTICE IN, SHE DIDN'T KNOW THAT SHE WAS TO CALL IN.
I'VE SINCE TRIED TO GET AHOLD OF HER BY THROUGH JANET TO SEE IF SHE COULD GO AHEAD AND CALL AND THEN THAT WOULD PUT THE PERCENTAGE OF NOS AND THIS COULD BE RESOLVED WITHOUT, YOU KNOW, SPENDING MORE OF OUR TIME.
MA'AM, I'D JUST LIKE TO CLARIFY THAT FOR YOU.
HI, CHRISTIE FLORES, ZONING MANAGER.
SO THE UH, PERCENTAGE, THE 20% IS ONLY FOR SUPER MAJORITY VOTE OF CITY COUNCIL.
WE WILL TAKE IN YOUR NOTICES, BUT IT DOESN'T CHANGE, UH, THE WAY THAT THE ZONING COMMISSION NEEDS TO VOTE TODAY.
OKAY, WELL WHAT EXACTLY WOULD THAT, WHAT NUMBER WOULD THAT BE? WE CAN, WE CAN TALK TO YOU, UH, ABOUT THAT ON THE SIDE, BUT THERE'S NOT A NUMBER MA'AM.
UH, IT'S, THE PERCENTAGE IS CALCULATED BASED ON ALL OF THE PROPERTY OWNERS AND HOW MUCH PROPERTY THEY OWN WITHIN THAT AREA.
IT'S NOT A NUMBER OF PERSONS PER SE PROPERTY, BUT I'M HAPPY TO EXPLAIN THAT TO IS IT PROPERTY OWNERS? IT IS PROPERTY OWNERS.
I'M JUST TRYING TO PRESENT WHAT, WHAT IT DOESN'T, IT DOESN'T REALLY CHANGE ANYTHING TODAY AS FAR AS, UH, RIGHT NOW WHAT THE ZONING COMMISSION IS CONSIDERING IS A CON A CONTINUANCE OF THIS ITEM TO THE NEXT, UM, SCHEDULED ZONING MEETING.
WHY WOULD THERE BE A CONTINUANCE IF YOU HAVE A CERTAIN NUMBER OF PROPERTY OWNERS THAT ARE EITHER PRO
[00:30:01]
OR AGAINST THAT, THAT WOULD BE UP TO THE COMMISSIONERS OBVIOUSLY.AND THESE ARE THE COMMISSIONERS HERE.
SO I, I POSE THAT QUESTION TO YOU ALL.
IF IT IS 20% OF THE LOT OWNERS WITHIN THAT 200 SQUARE FEET, AND I KNOW ONE OF THEM, UH, AND, AND I THINK WE, UH, YOU HAVE THE VOICE RECORDINGS.
HAVE Y'ALL, CAN YOU TELL ME? YEAH, WE, WE DO, WE DO HAVE VOICEMAILS WE STILL NEED TO PLAY.
WE DO STILL HAVE VOICEMAILS WE NEED TO PLAY.
OKAY, WELL THEN MAYBE THAT'LL ANSWER THE QUESTION BECAUSE I'M STILL, BECAUSE OF THE RULES, IF IT IS 20% OF THESE PROPERTY OWNERS I KNOW THEN THE EXTENSION IS NECESSARY IN HEARD MAIL.
DIDN'T, THAT MAIL DIDN'T GIVE.
BUT AGAIN MA'AM, THAT'S ONLY THE VOTE OF COUNCIL.
A SUPER MAJORITY VOTE OF COUNCIL IS WHAT THAT 20% COUNTS TOWARDS AND I'M VERY, VERY HAPPY THERE'S AN EXTENSION IF IT'S NEEDED.
I'M JUST, TIME IS IMPORTANT TO ALL OF US.
SO WE'LL GET TO HEAR WHO'S CALLED IN AND IF THOSE TWO DO CALL IN THEN IT'S STILL A MATTER OF CONTINUANCE, IS THAT RIGHT? YES MA'AM.
IF WE COULD WE HAVE ANY OTHER SPEAKERS SIGNED UP TO US? NO MORE SPEAKERS.
UH, WE DO HAVE VOICEMAILS FOR THREE AND ITEM FIVE.
ALRIGHT, IF WE COULD HEAR THOSE PLEASE.
I LIVE AT 1 6 8 2 4 STONE IN KENWOOD MATTER MANNER.
AND I'M OPPOSING CASE NUMBER Z 2 0 2 2 1 0 7 0 0 1 4 4 5 S E D AT 17 15,000 OAKS LOT 13 THROUGH LOT 19 BLOCK ONE N CCB 1 6 4 81.
I DON'T THINK WE NEED A, UH, CAR WASH IN THAT LOCATION SO, UH, WE ARE OPPOSING IT.
UM, I AM CALLING ABOUT THE ZONING REQUEST CHANGE CASE.
NU UH, NUMBER Z 2 0 2 2 1 0 7 0 0 1 4 4 S E R D ON THOUSAND OAKS ROAD.
I'M ROBERTA DUFFNER, 1802 SUMMER WOOD 2 1 0 4 9 4 6 6 4 4.
I'VE BEEN A RESIDENT OF KENTWOOD MANOR FOR OVER 44 YEARS AND A MEMBER OF THE K M L A SINCE 1984.
EVEN THOUGH I LIVE IN THE CENTER OF THE SUBDIVISION AND NOT PERSONALLY AFFECTED, I STILL WOULD LIKE TO EXPRESS MY SUPPORT FOR THOSE WHO WILL BE DIRECTLY AFFECTED AND OPPOSE THE ZONING REQUEST.
I LIVE AT TWO ZERO SEVEN EAST RUSSELL PLACE.
MY PHONE NUMBER IS (210) 422-4182.
I'M CALLING UP THE CASE ENDING IN 0 7 6 AT 2200 MCCULLOUGH.
UH, I'D LIKE TO SPEAK TO URGE A VOTE AGAINST THIS PLAN.
OUR HOME SITS TO THE NORTH SIDE OF THE SPOT.
SO WE FEEL LIKE ANY CHANGE MATERIAL WILL GREATLY IMPACT US AND OUR NEIGHBORS.
WE LEARNED THAT A FOUR STORY SELF STORE FACILITY WAS BEING PLANNED HERE.
WE BECAME CONCERNED WHEN WE PURCHASED OUR HOME.
WE DID SO ANOINTED A LOT WAS ZONE FOR A MAXIMUM OF 25 FEET.
THE NEW PROPOSAL WAS TO RAISE US TO FOUR STORIES OUR HOME.
MANY OF OUR NEIGHBOR'S HOMES WERE BUILT AND PURCHASED WITH THE UNDERSTANDING THAT OUR VIEWS WOULD NOT BE BLOCKED BY ANYTHING ON THE SPOT.
THIS CHANGE THREATENS THAT MANY OF US HAVE ROOFTOP DECKS WHO SEIZE THE SURROUNDING AREAS WILL BE NEGATIVELY IMPACTED BY HAVING A LARGE BUILDING TOWERING OVER US.
AND ARE PROPERTY VALUES HARMED THIS TYPE OF BUILDING AND THE COMMERCIAL BUSINESS ALSO DON'T FIT THE FEEL OF THIS AREA.
IT CONSIST OF HOUSES AND SCHOOLS WITH SOME SMALL SHOPS AND RESTAURANTS.
AN ENORMOUS SELF STORAGE FACILITY WILL BE AN EYESORE.
DOES NOTHING TO ELEVATE OR IMPROVE THE AREA.
IT ISN'T WANTED BY THE RESIDENTS.
THIS BUSINESS IS ALSO BY ITS NATURE, 24 HOURS.
RESIDENTS HERE CAN EXPECT TO HAVE CARS AND TRUCKS COMING AT ALL HOURS OF THE NIGHT CREATING INCREASED NOISE AND ACTIVITY.
THREE SIDES OF THE WATER SURROUNDED BY HOMES AND EVERYONE HERE WILL BE GRAVELY IMPACTED BY THE EXTRA ACTIVITY.
THIS WITH BRENT SELF STORAGE FACILITIES ALSO INVITE CRIME.
IT DOESN'T TAKE MUCH SEARCHING TO FIND NEWS OF BURGLARIES, DRUG ACTIVITIES,
I'M NOT ARGUING THESE TYPES OF BUSINESSES SHOULDN'T EXIST.
ONLY THAT THEY SHOULD BE IN APPROPRIATE LOCATIONS WHERE HOMES AND SCHOOLS AREN'T IMPACTED.
THIS IS NOT ONE OF THOSE LOCATIONS.
FINALLY, WE BELIEVE TRAFFIC WILL BECOME AN ISSUE.
THE PLAN INGRESS AND EGRESS POINTS ARE DIRECTLY NEXT TO HOUSE ON AT RUSSELL PLACE.
THIS WOULD INCREASE TRAFFIC IN THOSE AREAS, ESPECIALLY WITH THE PLACEMENT OF THOSE DRIVEWAYS BOARDING RESIDENTIAL PROPERTIES.
[00:35:01]
PLACE IS ESPECIALLY A PROBLEM.ANYONE WHO'S WENT DOWN THIS ROAD DOES IT'S MORE OF AN ALLEY THAN A STREET.
IT'S NEAR ENOUGH THAT TWO CARS CAN'T PASS WITHOUT ONE MOVING INTO A DRIVEWAY.
SO THE OTHER GO BY THIS IS NOT A STREET THAT NEEDS MORE TRAFFIC.
SO TO SUMMARIZE, A GIANT SELF STORAGE FACILITY IS NOT APPROPRIATE FOR THIS AREA.
IT'LL NEGATIVELY IMPACT THE NEARBY RESIDENTS AND THE COMMUNITY AS A WHOLE.
I URGE YOU TO VOTE AGAINST IT.
THOSE ARE ALL THE PUBLIC COMMENTS.
ALRIGHT, IS THERE A COMMISSIONER? WE'D LIKE TO MAKE A, A MOTION ON THESE ITEMS FOR CONTINUANCES.
COMMISSIONER, I MOVE TO CONTINUE THE FOLLOWING ITEMS TO THE OCTOBER 4TH HEARING.
ITEM NUMBER 3, 5, 6, 15, 23, 26 AND 30.
ALRIGHT, IS THERE A SECOND? SECOND.
THERE IS A MOTION FOR CONTINUANCE OF THE FOLLOWING ITEMS. 3, 5, 6 15 23 26 30 TO THE OCTOBER 4TH HEARING.
A MOTION WAS MADE BY COMMISSIONER.
WE, UH, SECOND BY COMMISSIONER FUENTES.
UM, ANY DISCUSSION? COMMISSION ON MY LEFT, MY RIGHT CHAIR, BUSTAMONTE.
COULD WE GET A ROLL CALL VOTE PLEASE.
COMMISSIONER LIA HOLLAND? YES.
WELL, WE WILL MOVE ON TO OUR SECOND CONTINUANCE HEARING FOR THE OCTOBER 18TH MEETING.
SORRY, UH, CHAIR BUSANTE NEEDED TO STEP AWAY, SO IF YOU COULD NOTE THE TIME, PLEASE.
I HAVE THE TIME AS 1 45 ACCORDING TO NIKKI ON MY WATCH.
SO IF WE COULD PROCEED TO THE CONTINUANCE HEARING THE SECOND ONE.
UH, SO WE HAVE ITEMS NUMBER 9 21, 11, AND 18.
ITEM 11 DOES HAVE, SORRY NOT ITEM EIGHT.
ITEM NUMBER 11 DOES HAVE FOUR SPEAKERS AND ONE VOICEMAIL.
ITEM NUMBER 19 IS LOCATED AT NINE.
ITEM NUMBER NINE, LOCATED AT 2 0 0 4 MONTEREY, THERE WERE 36 NOTICES MAILED OUT.
ONE OPPOSED HISTORIC WEST SIDE RESIDENCE ASSOCIATION IS OPPOSED.
THIS IS GOING FROM R FOUR RESIDENTIAL SINGLE FAMILY TO I D Z ONE WITH USAGE PERMITTED FOR FOUR RESIDENTIAL UNITS.
ITEM NUMBER 21 IS LOCATED AT TWO 20 EAST LA CHAPEL.
THERE WERE 28 NOTICES MAILED OUT.
ZERO OPPOSED LONE STAR NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATION IS REQUESTING A CONTINUANCE.

AND ITEM NUMBER 11, GENERALLY LOCATED AT THE 7,500 BLOCK OF PRU ROAD.
THERE WERE 56 NOTICES MAILED OUT.
FIVE OPPOSED NO RESPONSE FROM THE OAK BLUFF HOMEOWNER ASSOCIATION OR THE ALAMO FARMSTEAD BABCOCK NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATION.
10 IN OPPOSITION OUTSIDE 200 FEET PRUDE BEND.
H O A IS IN OPPOSITION OUTSIDE 200 FEET.
AND THIS IS GOING FROM R SIX RESIDENTIAL SINGLE FAMILY TO PUT R FOUR PLANT UNIT DEVELOPMENT, RESIDENTIAL, SINGLE FAMILY.
UM, YOU WANNA DO THE VOICEMAILS OR SPEAKERS FOR IT, SIR? UM, LET'S START WITH THE SPEAKERS PLEASE.
AND, UH, FOR THOSE MEMBERS THAT ARE SIGNED UP TO SPEAK, THIS ITEM WILL COULD BE, UM, MOTION FOR A CONTINUANCE.
IT'S ON THE CONTINUANCE AGENDA SO YOU CAN SPEAK NOW OR YOU COULD WAIT UNTIL OCTOBER 18TH WHEN IT WILL BE HEARD AGAIN.
OR YOU CAN SPEAK AT BOTH MEETINGS.
SO IF WE COULD CALL THE FIRST SPEAKER PLEASE.
[00:40:01]
AFTERNOON EVERYONE THAT.I LIVE AT 1 0 2 1 0 ELIZABETH COURT IN PRUE BEND.
UM, SPEAKING WITH ALLAH, MY AIRS, WE HAVEN'T HAD VERY MUCH ENGAGEMENT FROM THE DEVELOPER ABOUT PROPOSED PLANS FOR THE, FOR THE SITE OR THAN SEEING A NOTICE POSTED AT THE EDGE OF THE PROPERTY.
WE'RE VERY CONCERNED ABOUT THE ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT IN THE AREA.
THERE'S A DRAINAGE DITCH, WHICH DIVERTS WATER OFF OF PRU ROAD PAST OUR NEIGHBORHOOD, WHICH TENDS TO GET VERY HIGH IN PERIODS OF RAIN.
THE, THE BORDERING AREA WE BORDER THE A HUNDRED YEAR FLOODPLAIN.
WE'RE CONCERNED THAT DEVELOPMENT OF ADDITIONAL ASPHALT AND STRUCTURED DEVELOPMENT IS GOING TO CAUSE FLOODING CONCERNS FOR THE NEIGHBOR, FOR OUR NEIGHBORS WHO LIVE ALONG THAT AREA.
ALSO, THAT GREEN SPACE SAY HAS NO DEFINED BOUNDARY BETWEEN THE NEIGHBORING OB SCHNABEL PARK IN ITSELF.
THERE'S A LOT OF WELL-MAINTAINED HIKING AND BIKING TRAILS THAT RUN THROUGH THE PROPERTY AND ARE HEAVILY UTILIZED BY THE MOUNTAIN BIKING COMMUNITY OF SAN ANTONIO.
SO WE WOULD PROPOSE THAT, THAT THE CITY INSTEAD LOOK INTO MAYBE ANNEXING THAT AS PART OF THE OP SCHNABEL PARK.
IT PRESENTS SOME BEAUTIFUL VISTA VIEWS OF THE SURROUNDING AREA.
WE THINK THEY WOULD BE ASHAMED TO LOSE THAT GREEN SPACE TO A, TO A DEVELOPMENT.
UM, WE ARE NOT DIRECTLY BORDERING THAT PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT.
WE ARE ACROSS THE OTHER SIDE OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD.
EVERYONE IN OUR NEIGHBORHOOD USES THAT PARK.
UP UNTIL THIS STARTED, WE ALL THOUGHT THAT IT WAS JUST PART OFOP SCHNABEL, THE BIKING COMMUNITY HAS DONE A LOT OF WORK, UM, MAINTAINING THOSE TRAILS, MAKING THEM PASSABLE.
THERE'S SOMEBODY BUILT A TREE HOUSE THAT GETS USED ALL THE TIME.
SO MUCH SO THAT IT'S GOT ITS OWN LIKE GOOGLE MAPS PIN THAT PEOPLE GO TO AND SOCIALIZE IN.
YOU CAN HEAR THEM WHEN YOU'RE WALKING UP AND DOWN THE TRAILS.
SO IT'S, IT'S REALLY, IT, IT'S ALREADY AN ESTABLISHED PARK.
LIKE ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS, IS, IS JUST TAKE IT AND IT'S ALREADY ATTACHED.
THERE HAVE BEEN NO BOUNDARIES.
NOTHING HAS EVER BEEN ENFORCED.
THERE'S NO SIGNAGE, THERE'S NO NOTHING.
THERE'S NOT EVEN A GATE ACROSS THE FRONT OF POO ROAD.
OUR OTHER ISSUE IS THAT IF YOU'VE EVER ACTUALLY VISITED THE ENTRANCE STORE, THIS PROPERTY'S GOING TO BE, IT IS AT THE BOTTOM OF A HILL.
UM, WHERE THE PE WHERE THEY'RE PROPOSING TO PUT THEIR EXITING DRIVEWAY IS GOING TO BE INCREDIBLY DANGEROUS.
IT'S AT THE BOTTOM OF A CURVE.
SO EVERYONE WHO'S COMING OUT OF THERE IS GONNA BE TURNING OUT BLIND AND THE PEOPLE WHO ARE COMING DOWN THAT HILL ARE GOING REAL FAST.
SO, UM, IT'S, IT'S GONNA BE A REALLY DANGEROUS, UH, UH, PLACE AND THERE'S NOTHING TO DO TO WIDEN IT.
GEORGE RA HELLO, I'M GEORGE SAA.
TEN TWO TWO TWO ELIZABETH COURT.
UM, I'D LIKE TO ECHO WHAT MY NEIGHBORS JUST SAID.
EVERYTHING THAT THEY TOUCHED ON, I AGREE WITH.
I THINK THE LOCAL NEIGHBORS IN THE AREA CALL THAT CURVE.
DEAD MAN'S CURVE IS WHAT IT'S NORMALLY KNOWN AS, SO I THINK THAT'D BE EXTREMELY DANGEROUS.
UM, BUT EVERYTHING ELSE JUST WOULD LIKE TO ECHO.
IF I COULD SEE MY TIME, I'D BE UP TO THE COMMISSIONER.
I'M MARK JABLONSKI AND I ALSO LIVE IN PR BEND.
UM, IF YOU COULD JUST RESTATE ONCE YOU SURE.
MARK JABLONSKI ALSO LIVE IN PR BEND.
UM, I DO HAVE THE SAME CONCERNS, BUT I WANTED TO, UH, INSTEAD OF JUST RESTATING THEM, THERE'S A COUPLE OF OTHER THINGS THAT, UM, I WANTED TO MENTION.
SO JUST HAVING THE LIMITED TIME TO LOOK AT THE SITE PLAN, AND I'M NOT SURE WHAT THE PROCESS IS AND HOW EARLY THE, THE STIPENDS SHOULD BE SHARED WITH THE, WITH THE, UH, NEIGHBORING SUBDIVISIONS.
BUT THERE'S A COUPLE OF OTHER CONCERNS OTHER THAN THE TRAFFIC.
UH, I NOTICE THERE MAY NOT HAVE BEEN A TRAFFIC STUDY DONE.
UM, AND JUST LIKE MY NEIGHBOR SAID, UM, THE ENTRANCE INTO THIS NEIGHBORHOOD WOULD BE AT A VERY SHARP BEND.
UM, ALSO IT'S A PUD UM, SO PUD COULD MEAN LOTS OF DIFFERENT THINGS.
UH, ONE OF THE THINGS I UNDERSTAND IT MEANS IS THERE'S A LOT OF FLEXIBILITY IN THE DESIGN AND THE WAY YOU BUILD THE SPACE, UM, FROM THE SITE PLAN.
I SEE A ROAD THAT GOES AROUND THE, THE NEIGHBORHOOD THAT'S, THAT'S KIND OF CONFLICTING WITH THE CONSISTENCY BECAUSE THAT'S NOT HOW YOU BUILD SINGLE FAMILY NEIGHBORHOODS, RIGHT? THE ROADS ARE INSIDE, THE BOUNDARIES OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD ARE BASICALLY MARKED BY THE PROPERTIES AND THE FENCE AROUND THEM.
UM, SO THAT'S ANOTHER CONCERN.
SO PROPERTY VALLEYS ARE OBVIOUSLY CONCERNING.
[00:45:01]
NOT SURE, YOU KNOW, IF THERE WAS SOME SURVEYING GOING ON, I ASSUME THERE PROBABLY WAS, UM, NOT SURE HOW FAR THE PROPERTY WAS SURVEY SURVEYED, BUT JUST LIKE MY NEIGHBOR SAID, THERE'S A VERY SIGNIFICANT SLOPE.UH, SO I'M NOT SURE WHAT THE PLAN IS TO BUILD AROUND IT.
UM, THERE ARE MULTIPLE CLIFFS IN THAT AREA AND THERE'S ALSO SOME CONCERN WITH THIS 10 FEET ZONE.
SO I UNDERSTAND THAT TYPICALLY, YOU KNOW, YOU HAVE TO BE SET BACK ABOUT 20 FEET FROM THE NEIGHBORING SUBDIVISIONS.
I'M NOT SURE WHAT THE, YOU KNOW, WHAT THE RATIONALE IS FOR THE 10 FEET ZONE.
UM, AND THEN THE DRAINAGE, UM, JUST LIKE MY NEIGHBOR SAID, YOU KNOW, THERE'S QUITE, WE, WE'VE HAD HISTORICALLY PROBLEMS WITH THE DRAINAGE IN THAT AREA.
THE, THAT DITCH FILLS UP DURING BIGGER, BIGGER RAIN EVENTS VERY SIGNIFICANTLY.
UM, SO I'M NOT SURE, I ASSUME THAT THE DEVELOPMENT WILL PROBABLY USE THE SAME DRAINAGE DITCH.
UM, AGAIN, MY MAIN POINT IS WE HAVEN'T HAD ENOUGH TIME TO LOOK AT THE DETAILS OF THIS DEVELOPMENT.
I THINK, UM, OUR H O A ISN'T LISTED IN THE DOCUMENT.
JUST ONE MORE SECOND ISN'T ACTUALLY LISTED IN THE DOCUMENT AS AN AFFECTED NEIGHBORHOOD.
SO MAYBE THAT'S THE REASON WHY, BUT, UM, JUST WANTED TO, UH, I GUESS ASK FOR THE CONTINUANCE.
SO I MEAN THAT WOULD BE THE, THE BEST THING TO DO.
DID WE HAVE ANY, WE HAVE ONE VOICEMAIL.
IF WE COULD FOR ITEM NUMBER 11.
OH, AND SIR, CAN YOU NOTE THAT THE CHAIR IS BACK? OH, SORRY.
CAN YOU NOTE THAT THE CHAIR IS BACK
AND, AND, UH, WE'LL NOTE THAT, UH, CHAIR BUSANTE HAS, HAS REJOINED THE MEETING NURSE.
I LIVE AT NINE FIVE TWO FIVE ROCHELLE, MY PHONE NUMBER IS (210) 697-9521.
AND I'M THE PRESIDENT OF ALAMO FARMSTEADS BABCOCK ROAD NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATION.
I AM SPEAKING TO THE CASE ENDING 1 9 4 FOR THE 7,500 BLOCK OF CREW ROAD.
AMO FARMSTEADS BABCOCK ROAD NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATION IS IN OPPOSITION TO THIS PROPERTY BEING REZONED R FOUR PUD.
AS AS WE BELIEVE THAT THE DEVELOPER CAN ACCOMPLISH THEIR DESIRED CAPACITY USING A LESS INTENSE ZONING DISTRICT.
THE APPLICANT STATES IN THEIR PLAN DESIGNED FOR 5.33 ACRES PER UNIT, WHICH WE BELIEVE COULD BE ACCOMPLISHED WITHIN, WITHIN AN R FIVE P AND POSSIBLY AN R SIX PUD.
WE ARE NOT AWARE OF ANY R FOUR PS ALONG PRU ROAD.
AND WITH THIS PROPERTY SURROUNDED BY R FIVE AND R SIX, THE ZONE NEIGHBORHOODS, THE R FOUR PUT DESIGNATION SEEMS TOO AGGRESSIVE.
WE WANT TO ENCOURAGE THE CITY TO RIGHTSIZE THIS REQUEST AS WE REMIND EVERYONE THAT INTENTIONS ARE NOT BINDING, BUT ZONING CHANGES ARE PERMANENT.
THE CURRENT LAYOUT SHOWS AN UNDEVELOPED PORTION OF THE PROPERTY AT THE VAST, AT THE BACK WEST CORNER, WHICH HAS A HIGHER ELEVATION THAN THE BACK EAST CORNER, WHICH THE PLAN SHOWS WITH HOMES, WHICH PER G I S IS WITHIN THE A HUNDRED YEAR FLOOD PLAN.
ALSO, THERE'S AN NARROW PORTION OF THE PROPERTY THAT RUNS BEHIND THE ABUTTING CREW ROAD BEND SUBDIVISION THAT IS PART OF THE RECHARGE ZONE.
WHAT ARE THE APPLICANTS GOING TO PROTECT OR HOW ARE THE APPLICANTS GOING TO PROTECT ANY RUNOFF INTO THESE SENSITIVE AREAS? AS IS PROPERTY ABUTS SNA PARK? WE WOULD HOPE THAT THEY WOULD CONSIDER ADOPTING MILL SPEC LIGHTING POLLUTION CONTROLS.
FINALLY, THE DEVELOPER NEEDS TO CONSIDER THAT THIS PROPERTY IS LOCATED ON PER ROAD AT A TIGHT BEND WITH CHALLENGING RATE CHANGES.
THIS NEW COMMUNITY WILL ADD CHALLENGES TO THE DAILY COMMUTE OF MANY OTHERS THAT USE THE PERU ARTERIAL.
TO ADD TO THAT, THE BANDERA ROAD CORRIDOR PLAN LOOKS TO OFFLOAD TRAFFIC FROM BANDERA, WHICH WILL RESULT IN THE PRE ARTERIAL BECOMING EVEN BUSIER.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR DEDICATION TO SAN ANTONIO.
THOSE ARE ALL THE PUBLIC COMMENTS.
UM, COMMISSIONERS, I WILL ENTERTAIN A MOTION OR, UM, I'LL MAKE A MOTION.
UM, VICE CHAIR, UM, I'LL MAKE A MOTION TO PUT ITEMS 9 21 AND 11 IN CONTINUANCE FOR OCTOBER THE 18TH.
ALRIGHT, I THINK, WAS THAT COMMISSIONER WHITE? DID YOU SECOND? I WAS, I WASN'T LOOKING DOWN.
ALRIGHT, SO THE MOTION IS FOR A CONTINUANCE FOR ITEMS 9 21 AND 11 TO THE OCTOBER 18TH MEETING.
MOTION WAS MADE BY COMMISSIONER BARROS WITH A SECOND BY COMMISSIONER WHITE.
ANY DISCUSSION COMMISSION TO MY LEFT RIGHT CHAIR? BUSTAMONTE NONE.
ALRIGHT, MOTION IS FOR CONTINUANCE.
IF WE COULD HAVE ROLL CALL, VOTE PLEASE.
[00:50:01]
ITEMS PASS FOR CONTINUANCE.IF YOU ARE HERE FOR THOSE ITEMS, THOSE ITEMS WILL BE HEARD AT THE EITHER THE OCTOBER 4TH OR OCTOBER 18TH DATES AND WE LOOK FORWARD TO SEEING YOU THEN.
WE WILL NOW MOVE ON TO OUR INDIVIDUAL HEARING ITEMS. SO I BELIEVE NUMBER ITEM FOUR IS FIRST ON THE LIST.
ALL RIGHT, GO AHEAD, GET THE POWERPOINT UP.
ITEM NUMBER FOUR IS LOC LOCATED GENERALLY LOCATED AT THE 2100 TO 2200 BLOCK OF SUMMER GLEN WAY.
AND THERE IS NO NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATION.
THIS IS GOING FROM C THREE TO M F 18.
THE EXISTING, THE EXISTING C THREE, THE EXISTENCE C THREE IS NOT APPROPRIATE ZONING FOR THE PROPERTY AND SURROUNDING AREA.
IT IS NOT CONSISTENT WITH SUBURBAN TIER LAND USE.
THE PROPOSED MF 18 IS APPROPRIATE AND PROVIDES A BUFFER AND THE TRANSITION BETWEEN THE C THREE AND THE ZONING TO THE EAST OF THE JE PROPERTY ALONG HIGHWAY 2 81 NORTH AND THE RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT TO THE WEST.
OUTSIDE THE CITY LIMITS STAFF RECOMMENDS APPROVAL AND SASS IS HERE FOR THEIR, UH, RECOMMENDATION AND REPORT.
WE CAN HAVE SAS PRESENTATION PLEASE.
MIKE ES MIKE ESCALANTE IS SAW AQUIFER PROTECTION AND EVALUATION SECTION.
UH, WE, WE HAVE REVIEWED THE ZONING APPLICATION LOCATED AT THE INTERSECTION OF WILDERNESS OAK AND US HIGHWAY 2 81 NORTH, ALLOWING FOR A MULTIFAMILY PROJECT.
CURRENTLY THE SITE IS UNDEVELOPED WITH NATIVE TREES AND UNDERSTORY A SINK.
A CINCO PREVIOUSLY RATED AS SENSITIVE WAS OBSERVED IN THE SOUTHERN PORTION OF THE SITE.
UM, SAUL'S RECOMMENDS APPROVAL WITH ALL ENVIRONMENTAL RECOMMENDATIONS TO INCLUDE 50% PERVIOUS COVER FOR THE 19.37 ACRE SITE.
AND A NATURAL BUFFER SHALL BE PROVIDED FOR THE SINKHOLE.
UM, IS THE APPLICANT PRESENT? GOOD AFTERNOON.
COMMISSIONER SIPES COMMISSIONERS, UH, CHAIRMAN BUSTAMONTE JOINING US, UH, BY VIDEO.
THANK YOU FOR THE OPPORTUNITY TO PRESENT TO YOU.
AS YOU KNOW, I TEND TO BE LONG-WINDED, BUT I WILL NOT BE BECAUSE YOU'VE GOT A VERY FULL AGENDA.
BUT I DO HAVE A VERY QUICK, UH, POWERPOINT.
I DO WANT TO THANK STAFF FOR THEIR REVIEW AND OF COURSE, MIKE AND SAN ANTONIO WATER SYSTEM FOR THEIR RECOMMENDATION.
UH, AS THEY'RE PULLING UP OUR, UH, OUR PRESENTATION, UH, AS, AS WAS KNOWN IN THE STAFF REPORT, THE C THREE ZONING'S JUST NOT APPROPRIATE.
IT'S, IT'S TOO FAR OFF THE HIGHWAY.
THIS TRIPLE LAND, IF YOU REMEMBER ABOUT, UH, FIVE, SIX YEARS AGO, WAS PART OF THAT BIG 2 81 ANNEXATION.
SO SERA RANCH AND CANYON SPRINGS, ALL THOSE NEIGHBORHOODS OUT THERE STAYED OUTSIDE SALE LIMITS AND THE CITY JUST ANNEXED THE 2 81 CORRIDOR.
AS PART OF THAT ANNEXATION, THE CITY WENT IN AND DESIGNED, ASSIGNED ZONING, UH, PRIMARILY COMMERCIAL.
IT DOESN'T REALLY MAKE SENSE FOR THIS SITE.
SO WE ARE DOWN ZONING IT DOWN TO MF 18, WHICH AS YOU KNOW, IS THE LEAST INTENSE MULTIFAMILY ZONING.
I I REALLY DO HAVE A COUPLE OF PRETTY PICTURES AND I'LL BE BRIEF AND I'LL BE OUTTA YOUR HAIR.
UH, BUT, UH, SO I WAS IS RECOMMENDING 45, UH, 50% IMPERVIOUS COVER.
UH, WE'VE BEEN WORKING WITH DISTRICT NINE WITH, WITH COUNCILMAN COURAGE.
WE'RE ACTUALLY GONNA DO 45% IMPERVIOUS COVER.
WE'LL BE A LARGE TREES SAVED BARRY, WHICH TRUST ME, THERE'S A NICE PICTURE OF THIS.
UH, IT LOOKS BEAUTIFUL, BUT, UH, AND WE'RE SINCE AND OF COURSE SAW IS NOTED THE SENSITIVE FEATURE.
AND WHEN WE SEE THAT SITE PLAN, YOU'LL SEE HOW WE'VE PROTECTED THAT SENSITIVE FEATURE.
UH, BUT WITH THAT, THEY'LL HAVE MY PRESENTATION UP BY THE TIME I'M DONE.
JUST LET'S GO TO SOMETHING THAT LOOKS NICE.
THIS WOULD'VE BEEN MY SHORTEST PRESENTATION.
UH, SEE, THEY'RE LAUGHING, BUT THE, BECAUSE THEY KNOW IT'S TRUE, IT'S, SEE, UH, THERE, THERE'S A SITE PLAN.
[00:55:09]
SEE WE'VE GOT SOME, I THINK, OH, I'VE GOT A MICROPHONE.UH, BUT WE'VE GOT SIGNIFICANT TREE SAVE AREAS AND WE'RE, WE'RE OFF THE HIGHWAY OFF OF SUMMER GLEN, SO THERE'S A SUFFICIENT BUFFER AROUND IT.
THIS IS A PIECE OF PROPERTY THAT H E B OWNED AND H E B'S NOT GONNA PUT AN H E B THERE.
UH, SO THEY TEND TO DEEDED, RESTRICT IT AGAINST PRACTICALLY EVERYTHING EXCEPT, UH, RESIDENTIAL USE.
SO, UH, WITH THAT I WILL CONCLUDE MY, MY BRIEF REMARKS AND, UH, APPRECIATE YOUR SUPPORT.
DO WE HAVE ANY PUBLIC COMMENT ON THIS ITEM? NO PUBLIC COMMENT.
THIS IS A DISTRICT, WHAT WAS IT? NINE.
SO COMMISSIONER BARTOS TO YOU FOR QUESTIONS.
YEAH, I, I DON'T HAVE ANY COMMENTS.
I JUST WANNA ASK, UM, ANY OF THE COMMISSION IF THEY HAVE ANY QUESTIONS.
BUT I'VE READ THE REPORT, SO, SO I MAY, I'M READY TO MAKE A MOTION FOR APPROVAL, BUT ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? ALRIGHT, THANK YOU COMMISSIONER BADOS.
ANY QUESTIONS FROM COMMISSIONERS ON MY LEFT, RIGHT CHAIR? BUSANTE, QUESTIONS? NONE.
YEAH, SO I WILL MAKE, UH, THIS BRIEF, UM, I'LL MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE ITEM NUMBER FOUR, UH, ESPECIALLY WITH THE STRONG SUPPORT FROM SOLVES AND THE HIGHEST, UM, TREE PRESERVATION THAT WE CAN DO.
SO I MAKE A MOTION FOR APPROVAL.
I'M GONNA HAVE TO MAKE SURE I'M ALWAYS LOOKING WHEN, WHEN, WHEN SOMEONE MAKES THE MOTION.
'CAUSE I LOOK DOWN AND THEN IT'S LIKE TRYING TO DETERMINE.
MOTION IS FOR APPROVAL BY COMMISSIONER BOTTO, SECOND BY COMMISSIONER WHITE.
ANY COMMENTARY? COMMISSIONER LEFT, RIGHT CHAIR.
ITEM NUMBER SEVEN I BELIEVE IS NEXT.
MY NAME IS ELIZABETH STEWART, ZONING PLANNER WITH DEVELOPMENT SERVICES.
ITEM NUMBER SEVEN IS LOCATED AT 1 1 1 3 5 NORTH INTERSTATE HIGHWAY 35 GOING FROM L TO I TWO S FOR SANITARY LANDFILL WITH ALL OVERLAYS STAYING THE SAME.
THERE WERE FOUR NOTICES SENT OUT.
ONE RECEIVED IN FAVOR, TWO IN OPPOSITION, NO NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATION WITHIN 200 FEET AND ONE RECEIVED AN OPPOSITION OUTSIDE 200 FEET.
THE EXISTING L LIGHT INDUSTRIAL DISTRICT IS AN APPROPRIATE ZONING FOR THE PROPERTY AND SURROUNDING AREA.
THE PROPOSED I TWO S HEAVY INDUSTRIAL DISTRICT WITH SPECIFIC USE AUTHORIZATION FOR SANITARY LANDFILL IS NOT APPROPRIATE AS IT ALLOWS A HEAVY INDUSTRIAL USE.
SPECIFICALLY SANITARY SERVICE PROCESSING FOR PORTA-POTTIES STAFF FINDS LIKELY EVIDENCE OF ADVERSE IMPACTS ON NEIGHBORING LANDS IN RELATION TO THE ZONING CHANGE REQUEST.
THE PROPOSED USE IS NOT CONSISTENT WITH THE ESTABLISHED DEVELOPMENT PATTERN OF THE SURROUNDING AREA.
STAFF RECOMMENDS IN DENIAL IS AVAILABLE FOR ANY QUESTIONS AND THE APPLICANT IS PRESENT.
ALRIGHT, IF WE COULD HAVE THE APPLICANT'S PRESENTATION PLEASE.
HEY, GOOD AFTERNOON, JAMES GRIFFIN KILLING GRIFFIN AND FERMAN TEN TEN ONE REUNION PLACE.
UM, I'LL, I'LL ACTUALLY HOLD OFF ON THE PRESENTATION, UH, UNLESS Y'ALL LIKE TO SEE IT.
THERE WAS A, A LOT OF DISCUSSION LAST TIME AND, AND WENT THROUGH A LOT OF, UH, UH, INFORMATION AND MATERIALS AND, AND ENDED UP CONTINUING IT AND, AND CUTTING RIGHT TO IT.
WE'D, WE'D LIKE TO, UH, REQUEST A CONTINUANCE AGAIN.
UM, I UNDERSTAND THERE'S SOME FOLKS HERE, UM, SPEAKING, UH, PLANNING TO SPEAK IN OPPOSITION.
UH, DEFINITELY WANT TO MEET WITH THEM.
UH, WE HAD, UH, TALKED LAST TIME ABOUT, UH, TRYING TO MEET ON SITE AND REALLY, YOU KNOW, GET, GET ALL THE SIGHT AND SMELLS AND SOUNDS, UH, OF THERE SO WE CAN ALL, UH, TRY TO GET ON THE SAME PAGE.
UH, AS, AS A QUICK LITTLE RE REMINDER, THIS IS A, UH, AN EXISTING, UH, PORT-A-POTTY EVENT RENTAL COMPANY THAT IS PROPERLY ZONED, PERMITTED, LICENSED.
UM, AND WHAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT HERE IS A VERY, VERY SMALL PORTION WHERE THE, THE SEWER CONNECTION LIES, UH, THAT, UH, DUE TO A CHANGE IN STAFF INTERPRETATION NEEDS TO BE REZONED.
BUT, UH, ALL THAT TO SAY, UH, WE WOULD LIKE TO REQUEST, UH, A CONTINUANCE FOR A COUPLE WEEKS.
UH, SO WE CAN TRY TO, UH, HAVE SOME MORE DISCUSSIONS, GET SOME INFORMATION OUT.
BUT, UH, OF COURSE HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS Y'ALL MAY HAVE OR, OR GO BACK THROUGH ANY OF THE, UH, THE INFO WE WENT THROUGH PREVIOUSLY.
IF WE'D HAVE THE PUBLIC COMMENT, SPEAKERS, PLEASE.
UH, JUST A REMINDER, IF YOU'RE GONNA GIVE YOUR TIME TO SOMEBODY, UH, WHEN WE CALL YOUR NAME, IF YOU'RE GIVING YOUR TIME UP, PLEASE LET THE, LET US KNOW WHO YOU'RE GIVING YOUR TIME TO.
[01:00:11]
YES, MY NAME IS CHRIS KELLER AND I'M OPPOSED TO THE CONTINGENT, UH, LETTING IT GO ON FURTHER.LAST TIME WE WERE HERE WE TALKED ABOUT, UH, THAT THERE WAS AN ODOR IN THE AIR COMING WHENEVER THEY WOULD DRAIN THEIR TANKS.
UH, THEY SAID THERE IS NO ODOR.
ONE OTHER PERSON SAID, NO ODOR.
THERE'S 50 SIGNATURES ON HERE THAT SAY THEY SMELL THE ODOR.
SO THERE'S DEFINITELY AN ODOR IN THE AIR WHENEVER THEY'RE EMPTYING THEIR TRUCKS OUT.
I WANNA POINT OUT SOMETHING ELSE TOO, THAT IF THE PANEL ALLOWS THIS 20 BY 20 SECTION TO BE REZONED FOR HELL TOO, YOU'RE GONNA BE HARD PRESSED FOR THE NEXT PERSON THAT COMES UP AND SAYS, I WANNA GET THIS REZONE TO L TWO FROM L ONE.
BASICALLY HE'D BE PUTTING A DUMP ON THE HIGHWAY AND KILLS OUR BUSINESS AND KILLS OUR PROPERTY VALUE.
IT SAYS, AND THIS IS FROM THE LOCAL GOVERNMENT CODE CHAPTER 2 1 1 MUNICIPAL ZONING AUTHORITY.
THE REGULATIONS SHALL BE ADOPTED WITH REASONABLE CONSIDERATION AMONG OTHER THINGS FOR THE CHARACTER OF EACH DISTRICT.
AND ITS PECULIAR SUITABILITY FOR PARTICULAR USES WITH A VIEW OF CONSERVING THE VALUE OF BUILDINGS AND ENCOURAGING THE MOST APPROPRIATE USE OF LAND IN THE MUNICIPALITY.
L TWO ZONING NEXT TO C THREE ZONING IS NOT APPROPRIATE AT ALL AND WE'VE BEEN IN BINGOS SINCE 1982.
WE HAVE SEVERAL CHARITIES HERE TODAY TO SPEAK.
TONY HAD TO, HE HAD AN APPOINTMENT WITH THE F B I AND HE HAD TO LEAVE.
HE WANTED TO SPEAK, BUT ALL RIGHT, IF HE'S NOT HERE, WE'LL MOVE ON TO UH, MELISSA FLOSS OR CAS BAXTER CASA, SORRY.
HELLO, I AM MELISSA BAXTER CASA.
I'M AT 1 7 1 6 SOUTH SAN MARCOS.
I AM OPPOSED TO ZONING AND I WOULD LIKE TO REMAND THE REST OF MY TIME TO ARIEL KELLER.
SPEAKING FOR BOTH BINGO HALLS BEING AFFECTED.
I HAVE BEEN REPRESENTING THE CHARITIES OF TERRA GENESIS OF SAN ANTONIO AND SAVE A BABY FOR OVER 25 YEARS AND I'M ALSO THE MANAGER OF ONE OF THE BINGO HALLS, THE TWO BINGO HALLS THAT ARE BEING AFFECTED.
I TOOK OFF FROM WORK TODAY TO LET YOU KNOW, THIS DIRECTLY AFFECTS OUR CHARITY'S MAIN SOURCE OF INCOME AND MY CUSTOMERS I AM OPPOSED TO ANY CONTINUANCE AND OPPOSED TO THE REZONING.
AND I WOULD LIKE TO PASS MY REMAINING TIME TO ARIEL KELLER.
OKAY GUYS, YOU CAN'T PASS ON YOUR TIME SO YOU GET A FULL TWO MINUTES, THAT'S ALL YOU GET.
SO THERE'S NO ADDITIONAL TIME FOR ARIEL.
IF YOU WANT TO, IF YOU WANNA PASS YOUR TIME, LET US KNOW RIGHT AT THE BEGINNING.
HI, MY NAME IS GENEVIEVE NARVA.
I AM ONE OF THE MANAGERS THAT WORK AT ONE OF THE TWO BINGO HALLS.
I'M HERE TODAY TO SAY I'M AGAINST RIZZO AND THE CONTINUANCE AND THE REASON FOR THAT IS WE HAD MULTIPLE BINGO CUSTOMERS COMPLAINING ABOUT ON THE ONGOING SMELL COMING IN THE BUILDINGS FOR THE LAST 10 MONTHS.
ALRIGHT, THANK YOU CHARLES ESPINOZA.
I'M HERE REPRESENTING KNIGHTS OF COLUMBUS COUNCIL 63 58.
UH, YEARS AGO WE USED TO CONDUCT OUR OWN BINGO.
[01:05:01]
YEARS OF HARD WORK AND FRUSTRATION, WE DECIDED THAT IT WAS IN VERY COST EFFECTIVE WAY.SO WE DECIDED TO LAND OUR BINGO LICENSE TO THE NORTHEAST BINGO HALL ON I 35.
AS WAS MENTIONED EARLIER, THE CHARITABLE BINGO IS OUR MAJOR SOURCE OF CHARITABLE FUNDS.
THE KNIGHTS OF COLUMBUS, UH, IS A CHARITABLE FAITH-BASED, FRATERNAL AND PATRIOTIC ORGANIZATION.
AND AGAIN, ONE OF THE PILLARS OF OUR BUSINESS IS TO, TO SUPPORT CHARITIES.
IN ADDITION TO SUPPORTING TWO PARISHES, CHURCH OF THE GOOD SHEPHERD AND CHURCH AND UH, IMMACULATE CONCEPTION CHURCH IN MARION, TEXAS.
WE ALSO PROVIDE FINANCIAL SUPPORT TO THE SOCIETY OF ST.
VINCENT DEPAUL AND THE SOUTH TEXAS PREGNANCY CENTER IN SEIN, WHICH IS THE ONLY, UH, ORGANIZATION OF ITS TYPE IN GUADALUPE COUNTY.
UH, SO I AM OPPOSED TO THIS PRIMARILY BECAUSE OF THE POTENTIAL TO IMPACT ON THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE THAT SUPPORT AND GO PLAY BINGO AS IF YOU DRIVE UP TO THE FACILITY.
IT'S AN EYESORE TO SEE ALL THESE PORTLETS SITTING DIRECTLY BEHIND THE BINGO HALL.
SO I WOULD LIKE FOR YOU TO CONSIDER, UH, DISAPPROVING THE REQUEST FOR REZONING.
ALRIGHT, THANK YOU RON GREENBERG.
I REPRESENT THE ALAMO HEIGHTS ROTARY CLUB CHARITIES.
UH, WE'VE BEEN ASSOCIATED WITH BINGO HALL SINCE 2010.
IT HAS BEEN A GODSEND TO OUR CHARITIES.
I'M OPPOSED TO IT AND I GIVE A LOT OF TIME TO ARIEL KELLER.
ALL RIGHT, JUST A REMINDER, IF YOU'RE GIVEN ANY TIME TO ANYBODY BEFORE YOU START SPEAKING, PLEASE LET US KNOW.
MY NAME'S KATHY KELLER AND I OPPOSE ITEM SEVEN.
APPEAL MY TIME TO ARIEL KELLER.
JUST LET US KNOW YOU'RE APPEALING YOUR TIME.
IS THAT WHO'S NEXT? IS KEVIN, IS THERE A KEVIN KELLER? KEVIN, SOMEBODY WANTS GIVE ME, CAN THEY GO FOR ME? IS THERE THERE ANYBODY THAT HAS SIGNED UP FOR THIS CASE THAT WISHES TO GIVE MR. KELLER THEIR TIME? WHAT'S YOUR NAME, SIR? JOHN THOMAS KELLER.
I'D LIKE TO GIVE MY TIME TO KEVIN.
AND WHAT'S YOUR NAME SIR? JOHN THOMAS KELLER.
LAST TIME WE MET AND UH, I THINK THE STAFF SAID THAT THERE WERE THREE NOTICES MAILED OUT.
TWO IN OPPOSITION AND ONE IN FAVOR.
THE ONE THAT'S IN FAVOR ARE THE PEOPLE THAT OWN THE PROPERTY WHERE THE PORTA POTTY SEWAGE DUMP IS GOING.
I MEAN, I GUESS THEY GET A VOTE, BUT TECHNICALLY IT'S NONE IN FAVOR AND TOO OPPOSED.
UH, ALSO LAST TIME SOMEONE FROM THE COMMISSION MENTIONED THAT THERE WERE NO HEALTH RELATED ISSUES OR CONCERNS ASSOCIATED WITH THE PORTA POTTY BUSINESS.
DO WE KNOW THAT FOR A FACT? HAS ANYONE DONE A STUDY ON IT? THEY ALSO MENTIONED THEY WERE MOSTLY INDUSTRIAL PROPERTIES SURROUNDING THE PROPERTY.
BUT LET'S SEE, WE'VE GOT A SCHOOL, WE'VE GOT THE APARTMENTS, WE'VE GOT TWO SEPARATE BINGO BUSINESSES, NONE OF WHICH ARE INDUSTRIAL.
THEY SEEMED ONLY SLIGHTLY CONCERNED ABOUT THE SCHOOL AND THE APARTMENTS.
THEY DID MENTION 'EM, BUT THEY DIDN'T SEEM AT ALL CONCERNED ABOUT THE TWO BINGO BUSINESS THAT HAD BEEN THERE FOR 11 YEARS AND SUPPORT 13 DIFFERENT CHARITABLE ORGANIZATIONS.
WE WERE THERE 11 YEARS BEFORE THE PORTA POTTY BUSINESS.
WE'VE BEEN THERE 12 YEARS NOW.
THEY ALSO REFERRED TO THE SITUATION AS, AND I'M QUOTING VERY MINOR TECHNICALITY, I DISAGREE.
THE PORTA POTTY PEOPLE WERE OPERATING ILLEGALLY.
IF THEY HAD HAVE BEEN HONEST WITH
[01:10:01]
THE CITY OF SAN ANTONIO AND THE ZONING COMMISSION UP FRONT AND TOLD 'EM WHAT THEIR PLANS WERE TO EMPTY THESE TRUCKS WITH HUMAN WASTE INTO THE SEWAGE SYSTEM, I BELIEVE THEY WERE AFRAID THEY MAY NOT HAVE GOT THE ZONING THEY WERE ASKING FOR.SO THEY TRIED TO SIDESTEP THAT, SNEAK IT IN.
HEY, NOBODY'S GOING TO NOTICE.
IT'S A LITTLE OLD BITTY AREA HERE, ABOUT 10 BY SIX.
NOBODY'S GOING TO SEE ONCE WE GET OUR C F O, WE'RE IN BUSINESS.
UM, WHERE ARE THEY CLEANING THESE PORTA-POTTIES AT? NOW I'VE GOT SEVERAL QUESTIONS.
UH, ARE THEY STILL USING IT THERE? ARE THEY CLEANING THEM SOMEWHERE ELSE? I NOTICED MOST MUNICIPALITIES I READ UP ON THIS A LITTLE BIT, THEY REQUIRE THE DISPOSAL OF, OF THESE WASTE PRODUCTS IN A WASTEWATER TREATMENT FACILITY.
HOW COME THEY'RE NOT DOING THAT HERE? WHY ARE THEY WANT TO DUMP IT INTO THE SEWER RIGHT NEXT DOOR TO OUR BUSINESSES? UM, I'VE GOT A LETTER FROM THE ALAMO CITY BREAST CANCER FOUNDATION, BUT IT'S GONNA TAKE ME TOO LONG TO READ THIS.
UM, I'D LOVE TO SHARE IT WITH Y'ALL, BUT LIKE I SAID, I, I'M NOT GOING TO HAVE ENOUGH TIME TO DO ALL THIS IN THE MINUTE IN THE TIME THAT I'VE BEEN ALLOTTED.
BUT WE HAVE SOME FANTASTIC CHARITABLE GROUPS AND THEY DO SOME REALLY GOOD STUFF, NOT JUST FOR THE LOCAL COMMUNITIES AND THE LOCAL PEOPLE, BUT FOR OUTLYING COMMUNITIES.
UH, IN FACT, THE PRESIDENT OF THE BREAST CANCER SOCIETY IS IN WASHINGTON DC RIGHT NOW TRYING TO INFLUENCE LAWMAKERS INTO SOME FAVORABLE LEGISLATION FORM.
MOST OF THESE OPERATIONS ARE RUN BY, UH, VOLUNTEER LABOR.
THEY'RE NOT, THEY'RE NOT FILLING THEIR POCKETS.
IT'S NOT LIKE THE CLINTON FOUNDATION.
UM, LET ME LEAVE Y'ALL REAL QUICK WITH JUST A COUPLE OF THINGS.
ONE OF THEM IS A SAYING YOU'VE PROBABLY HEARD BEFORE.
I'M GONNA SUBSTITUTE A COUPLE OF WORDS THOUGH.
LET'S TAX THE GUY BEHIND THE TREE.
WELL, THIS IS WHAT IT'S COMING DOWN TO IN THIS SITUATION.
LET'S DUMP ON THE BINGO GUYS OVER HERE BEHIND THE TREE, RIGHT? I DON'T THINK THAT Y'ALL UNDERSTAND HOW BINGO OPERATES.
THE CHARITIES THAT DERIVE THE FUNDS, THE MONIES AND WHAT THEY DO WITH THESE MONIES.
THEY'RE GREAT, FANTASTIC PEOPLE.
I CAN'T EMPHASIZE THAT ENOUGH.
LAST THING I WANNA SAY IS A FELLOW NAMED JOSEPH SUN SAID, AND I'M QUOTING, A PERSON OF CHARACTER IN THEIR HEART KNOWS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN RIGHT AND WRONG AND ALWAYS TRIES TO DO THE RIGHT THING FOR THE RIGHT REASON.
ANY OTHER SPEAKERS? EDDIE MEYER? UM, WILLIAM SWEENEY.
AND WHO'S THE, WHO'S YOUR NAME SIR SWEENEY.
S W ALRIGHT, SIR, YOU HAVE FOUR MINUTES? YES SIR.
THANK YOU FOR HEARING US TODAY.
WE'RE VERY CONCERNED HOW THIS IS GOING TO AFFECT OUR CHARITIES.
I'M WHAT'S CALLED THE DESIGNATED AGENT FOR THE TWO HALLS.
SO I REPRESENT LOTS OF CHARITIES ACROSS THE STATE THAT ARE INVOLVED IN BINGO.
AND DURING THESE COVID TIMES, IT'S VERY IMPORTANT THE FUNDS THAT WE HAVE COMING IN FOR THE BINGO HALL.
AND WITH THIS SMELL AND WITH THE POLLUTION THAT WE'RE GETTING FROM BEHIND US THERE, IT'S AFFECTING THE PEOPLE COMING TO THE HALL.
SO WE NEED YOUR SUPPORT TO MAKE SURE THAT THAT STOPS, THAT THEY DON'T KEEP ILLEGALLY DUMPING LIKE THEY ARE NOW AND WHAT THEY'RE DOING TO CLEAN UP THE AREA.
UH, THE CHARITIES NEED YOUR SUPPORT IN THIS AREA.
WE'RE TRYING TO DO WHAT WE CAN TO MAKE SURE IT IS DONE THAT WAY BECAUSE EACH OF THESE CHARITIES HAVE REALLY PUTTING, PUTTING OUT LOTS OF THINGS AND DOING WHAT THEY COULD DURING THIS COVID TIME ESPECIALLY.
'CAUSE THERE'S BEEN A BIG NEED FOR ALL WHAT COMES FROM THE BINGO AND FOR THE 5 0 1 CS.
AND PLEASE, LET'S NOT HAVE A CONTINUANCE AND CONTINUE GOING ON THIS.
MY NAME IS VICTORIA GASPER, AND I WANNA GIVE MY FULL TIME, SO SHE ALREADY HAS ENOUGH.
UH, SHE ALREADY HAS TWO PEOPLE GIVING HER TIME, SO IF YOU WANNA SPEAK, GO AHEAD,
UM, SAM, SHE'S COMING OUT HERE.
WHAT IT IS A, A MAX OF TWO PEOPLE CAN GIVE THEIR TIME, SO TWO PEOPLE CAN ALREADY GIVE.
SO I AM IN OPPOSITION OF THE ZONING CHANGE TO ALLOW DUMPING BY THE, UH, BINGO HALLS FROM, UH, WHAT I UNDERSTAND, THERE IS A SMELL THAT YOU KNOW IS AFFECTING ALL THE PEOPLE IN THE AREA.
AND, YOU KNOW, IT'S HARD TO SAY THAT CHEMICALS IN HUMAN WASTE DON'T HAVE ANY SMELL AT ALL.
[01:15:01]
NO WAY TO AVOID THAT.ADDITIONALLY, THERE IS A SIGNIFICANT, YOU KNOW, IMPACT ON THE BUSINESS'S VALUE.
THEY HAVE HAD ISSUES, YOU KNOW, WITH TALKING TO THEIR TAX PEOPLE SAYING THAT THIS HAS HAD AN EFFECT AND IT IS EXCLUSIVELY THE DUMPING AND THE HUMAN WASTE THAT IS AFFECTING THEIR, YOU KNOW, TAX VALUE.
SO, UH, TO SAY THERE'S NO EFFECT IS SIMPLY NOT TRUE.
AND SO THE SMELL AND THE ECONOMIC IMPACT SHOULD BE TAKEN INTO ACCOUNT AND, UH, THIS SHOULD NOT PASS.
I REPRESENT THE DISTRICT TWO A TWO LIONS SITE AND TISSUE FOUNDATION.
WE ARE A INTERNAL FOUNDATION OF THE DISTRICT OF LIONS CLUBS THAT, UM, WORK IN 21 COUNTIES.
UH, OUR BUSINESS IS TO HELP PEOPLE WITH VISION IMPAIRMENT, AND WE'VE BEEN VERY FORTUNATE OVER THE LAST 45 YEARS TO HAVE DEVELOPED A PARTNERSHIP WITH THE UNIVERSITY OF TEXAS, UH, HEALTH, UH, SCIENCE CENTER, DEPARTMENT OF OPHTHALMOLOGY, WHERE WE HAVE FACILITIES THAT, UH, CARRY OUR NAME.
WE HAVE FIVE FACILITIES THERE.
UH, CHIEF AMONG THEM IS ONE CALLED THE LION'S LOW VISION CENTER, WHICH HELPS PEOPLE THAT, UH, HAVE ALREADY HAD VISION ISSUES THAT CAN'T BE CORRECTED, BUT IT HELPS THEM TO MAXIMIZE WHAT VISION THEY STILL HAVE.
AND, UH, MANY OF THESE PEOPLE ARE CHILDREN WHO, UH, WE ARE ABLE TO HELP WITH VARIOUS DEVICES, EVEN INCLUDING IPADS, WHICH HELP THEM, UH, BE ABLE TO CARRY ON THEIR WORK IN SCHOOL.
UH, THE FUNDS THAT WE RAISE, UH, THROUGH THE BINGO ARE VERY, VERY IMPORTANT TO US AND CRITICAL FOR US TO BE ABLE TO CONTINUE, UH, TO DO WHAT WE DO.
UH, ALLIANCE THROUGHOUT THE COMMUNITY ALSO AVAIL THEMSELVES OF A MOBILIZED SCREENING UNIT THAT WE PROVIDE SO THAT THEY CAN DO VISION SCREENING IN FRONT OF H E BS OR, UH, COMMUNITY OF AIR, UH, AFFAIRS OR EVENTS AND SO FORTH.
AND, UH, THEY DO THAT BECAUSE WE ARE ABLE TO PUT THAT BUS ON THE ROAD AND, UH, STAFF IT FOR THEM.
SO, UH, WE ARE OPPOSED TO THIS.
UH, WE OPPOSE ANYTHING THAT'S GOING TO IMPACT OUR ABILITY TO RAISE FUNDS SO THAT WE CAN HELP PEOPLE IN OUR COMMUNITY.
UH, BOOSTER MONTE COMMISSIONERS.
MY NAME IS ANTHONY E HARGROVE.
UH, I REPRESENT ELLA AUSTIN COMMUNITY CENTER ON THE EAST SIDE, A MULTI SOCIAL SERVICE AGENCY HELPING THE COMMUNITY.
UM, LET ME JUST GET OUT VERY QUICKLY THAT, UH, AS A MEMBER OF THE EIGHT CHARITIES THAT WORK WITH ALAMO HILLS BINGO, UM, WE ARE AGAINST THE REZONING AND WE OPPOSE THE CONTINUANCE OF THIS.
UM, I HAVE, UM, WORKED WITH FELLOW AUSTIN FOR THE PAST, UH, 29 YEARS.
I HAVE SINCE RETIRED, BUT HAVE COME BACK, UH, AND, AND AM REPRESENTING ELLA AUSTIN AS, UM, UH, AN OPERATION OF OF THE BINGO CHARITIES.
UH, THIS IS A MAJOR REVENUE STREAM THAT CAN BE IMPACTED, UH, FOR A NON-PROFIT ON THE EAST SIDE.
UM, IF IT'S REZONED, IT WILL BE DISRUPTIVE AND IMPACTFUL TO THE ALAMO HILLS BINGO OPERATION.
AND SO WE, UH, PLEAD WITH YOU TO DISAPPROVE THE REZONING APPLICATION AND THE CONTINUANCE.
UH, ARIEL KELLER, YOU HAVE SIX MINUTES.
OKAY, SEE IF I CAN GET ORGANIZED HERE.
MY ADDRESS IS 5 0 5 CANTERBURY HILL STREET, 7 8 2 0 9.
UM, I AM THE DAUGHTER OF KEVIN KELLER.
YOU KNOW, THERE'S LOTS OF KELLER UP HERE,
UM, SO I, I KNOW I SAW SOME OF Y'ALL LAST TIME AND SOME NEW FACES AND, UH, YOU
[01:20:01]
KNOW, WE'RE HERE TODAY, ONE TWO CONTEST THE CONTINUANCE.THIS IS THE THIRD TIME WE'VE BEEN HERE.
UM, LAST, THE VOTE DIDN'T PASS.
AND SO MY UNDERSTANDING IS THERE'S A RIGHT TO BRING IT AGAIN.
UM, WHICH IS WHY WE'RE HERE TODAY.
WE JUST FOUND OUT LATE YESTERDAY THAT THEY WERE ASKING FOR A CONTINUANCE.
AS YOU CAN SEE, MULTIPLE PEOPLE HAVE TAKEN TIME OUT OF THEIR DAY TO COME HERE AND LET Y'ALL KNOW HOW THEY FEEL.
MANY OF THE PEOPLE WHO PASS THEIR TIME, THEIR REPRESENTATIVES ARE INVOLVED IN OTHER CHARITIES AS WELL.
THERE ARE 13 CHARITIES AFFECTED BY THESE HALLS.
THIS BUSINESS OPENED 12 YEARS AGO, THE FIRST BINGO HALL THAT THEIR FAMILY HAD OPENED IN THE EIGHTIES.
THEY'VE HELPED SHAPE BINGO, LEAD BINGO.
AND EVERY BINGO IS TIED TO CHARITIES.
AND I FEEL LIKE I'M A LITTLE BIT OF A NUMBERS PERSON.
SO IN CASE Y'ALL ARE TOO, UM, JUST OVER THE LAST SIX YEARS, JUST THESE TWO HALLS HAVE GIVEN OVER $4 MILLION TO 13 CHARITIES.
I MEAN, AND THAT'S WITH C O V I D IN THE MIDDLE OF THE LAST SIX YEARS.
YOU KNOW, THEY, THEY PROP THEM UP.
THEY'RE ALL FOR HELPING THE STATE, THE CITY, THE COUNTY.
AND SO TO ALLOW THIS TO, TO MOVE IN, AND I KNOW LAST TIME WE WERE HERE, MR. WHITE HAD A CORRECT POINT THAT ANYONE WHO MOVES IN AFTER THIS IS SUBJECT TO THIS, THIS BUSINESS EXISTING THE WAY THAT IT IS.
BUT WE'VE BEEN THERE FOR 12 YEARS.
THEY SPENT MILLIONS ON THIS PROPERTY.
THEY'VE SPENT MIL MILLIONS ON THIS BUSINESS, HOURS, TIME, MONEY, EMPLOYEES, CHARITIES.
THEY'VE SPENT JUST SO MUCH TRYING TO BUILD THIS UP INTO WHAT IT IS.
AND THEY'VE BEEN DOING IT AT THIS LOCATION FOR 12 YEARS.
SO TO ALLOW THIS COMPANY TO COME IN, AND I UNDERSTAND IT'S DIFFICULT, THEY'VE BEEN THERE FOR ALMOST A YEAR.
UH, THEY SAY THEY THOUGHT THEY WERE DOING THINGS RIGHT, BUT THEY ALSO KEEP SAYING THEY'RE ZONED CORRECTLY.
THEY'RE PERMITTED CORRECTLY, THEY'RE LICENSED CORRECTLY.
THEY DID EVERYTHING RIGHT, BUT CLEARLY THEY DIDN'T, OR WE WOULDN'T BE HERE.
AND I'M SORRY TO THEM IF THERE WAS A MISTAKE, BUT THIS COMPANY IS IN SEVEN STATES AND AT LEAST 27 CITIES ACCORDING TO THEIR WEBSITE.
THEY HAVE THE MANPOWER TO HAVE ATTORNEYS TO FIGURE THIS OUT.
YOU KNOW, THEY HAVE FOUR BINGO HALLS IN TOWN.
AND SO TO, TO BIND THEM TO THIS AND NOT GIVE THEM AN OPTION TO HAVE THE TAX ASSESSOR TELL THEM, OH, YOU'RE RIGHT, YOUR BUSINESS VALUE DID GO DOWN.
YOUR PROPERTY VALUE DID GO DOWN SPECIFICALLY BECAUSE THIS EVEN MOVED IN TO THEN ALLOW THEM TO DUMP.
I KNOW THAT AT ONE POINT WE WERE LOOKING AT A PROPERTY THAT HAD GAS STATIONS YEARS AGO ON THE PROPERTY, AND THEY WERE STILL DOING ENVIRONMENTAL STUDY AFTER ENVIRONMENTAL STUDY TO FIGURE OUT IF THERE WERE LEAKS, HOW THAT IMPACTED THE AREA.
I REALLY AM CONCERNED THEY'LL NEVER BE ABLE TO EVEN OFFLOAD THE PROPERTY, LET ALONE HOW THIS WILL AFFECT THEIR BUSINESS.
I KNOW THEY HAVE A PETITION THAT'S SIGNED BY MULTIPLE CUSTOMERS STATING THAT IT SMELLS, YOU HAVE MULTIPLE EMPLOYEES HERE STATING THAT IT SMELLS, IT SMELLS.
I, I DON'T, I KNOW IT WAS DISPUTED LAST TIME, BUT THAT'S WHAT IT IS.
YOU HAVE PEOPLE HERE TODAY SAYING THEY HAVE FIRSTHAND SMELLED IT, NOT THAT THEY'VE SPOKEN TO PEOPLE WHO SAID THERE WAS NO SMELL.
AND THE, AND THE PROBLEM DIDN'T SM START UNTIL A YEAR AGO.
AND SO I THINK THAT, YOU KNOW, AS FAR AS THE SMELL, I THINK THAT ADDRESSES THAT IN MY OPINION AS WELL AS I KNOW THERE WAS A LAWSUIT IN 2017 AGAINST HONEY BUCKET, SPECIFICALLY FOR THE SMELL.
IT WAS A CLASS ACTION THAT GOT CERTIFIED UP IN WASHINGTON.
ADMITTEDLY, I DON'T KNOW THE RESULT OF THAT, BUT THE POINT IS, IS IT WAS A BIG ENOUGH ISSUE THAT A CLASS ACTION WAS CERTIFIED AGAINST THEM SPECIFICALLY FOR THE SMELL COMING FROM THE FACILITY.
AND FURTHER, YOU KNOW, ASIDE FROM THAT, THAT THERE ARE FORESEEABLE ISSUES WITH THE DUMPING BACKUP.
YOU KNOW, BACKFLOW, THEIR HU CURRENTLY SMELLS IN THE BATHROOM AREAS.
THEY'VE HAD PLUMBERS LOOK AT IT.
THEY CAN'T SEE ANYTHING THAT'S WRONG.
AND SO THE FACT THAT THIS IS, THIS IS CORRELATED WITH WHEN THEY MOVED IN TO ME, SEEMS TO SAY THAT IT IS REASONABLE TO ASSUME THAT THAT'S CONTRIBUTING.
YOU KNOW, AND FURTHER BEYOND THAT, THERE ARE, THERE ARE ALTERNATIVES FOR THIS BUSINESS.
DENY, DENYING THIS REZONING IS ONE THING.
THE FACT THAT THEY MOVED IN AND ALREADY DECREASED THE VALUES.
AND I REALIZE THAT'S NOT WHAT WE'RE HERE FOR TODAY.
WE'RE HERE SPECIFICALLY ABOUT THE REZONING.
AND SO WHEN IT COMES TO THAT, THERE ARE OTHER PLACES I WAS LOOKING INTO IT.
'CAUSE HONESTLY, I DIDN'T KNOW MUCH ABOUT THIS
THERE ARE FACILITIES THAT SPECIFICALLY DEAL WITH THE DISPOSAL OF HUMAN WASTE.
AND SO SINCE THESE TRUCKS ALLEGEDLY CLEAN OFF SITE ANYWAY, AND THEN DRIVE BACK, WHY NOT HAVE THEM DRIVE TO A FACILITY THAT SPECIALIZES IN THIS DISPOSAL AND CAN DO IT SAFELY AND THEN HAVE THEM DRIVE THE TRUCKS BACK TO, YOU KNOW, THEIR
[01:25:01]
LOCATION WHERE THEY KEEP THEM OVERNIGHT OR WHAT HAVE YOU.IT'S, IT'S NOT GOING TO SHUT THEM DOWN IS MY POINT.
THERE IS A VERY REASONABLE ALTERNATIVE THAT EXISTS THAT MANY OTHER COMPANIES USE IN THIS AREA THAT THIS COMPANY COULD USE.
AND LIKE I SAID, THEY'RE A GIANT COMPANY.
I DON'T FORESEE IT HURTING THEIR BANK ACCOUNT.
IF THIS SHUTS DOWN TWO OF THEIR FOUR HALLS, IT WILL DESTROY THEIR BUSINESS.
IT WILL CUT OFF REVENUE TO 13 CHARITIES, LIKE I SAID, OVER $4 MILLION IN THE LAST SIX YEARS.
13 CHARITIES WILL HAVE LOST A MAJOR SOURCE OF REVENUE.
ANY OTHER SIGNED NOTE? THAT IS ALL THE PUBLIC COMMENT.
UM, THIS IS A DISTRICT 10 CASE, CORRECT? SO COMMISSIONER WHITE TO YOU FOR QUESTIONS.
I, SO, UM, I'M GONNA RESPECT THE REQUEST FOR A CONTINUANCE AND, AND I, AND I DO FEEL LIKE THIS CASE SHOULD BE CONTINUED.
UM, TO BE CLEAR, WHAT HAPPENED LAST TIME AS THE VOTE WAS FIVE TO THREE, UM, IN FAVOR OF APPROVING THIS, BUT THERE WEREN'T ENOUGH COMMISSIONERS HERE TO GET TO GET TO THE SIXTH VOTE.
UM, SO, SO, SO JUST TO BE CLEAR, THAT'S WHAT HAPPENED LAST TIME.
UH, TODAY, AGAIN, WE'RE MISSING TWO COMMISSIONERS, COMMISSIONER GREATHOUSE, UM, AS WELL AS COMMISSIONER WATSON.
UM, THERE IS, UM, SOME MISUNDERSTANDING, I STILL BELIEVE WITH SOME OF THE COMMUNITY WITH RESPECT TO EXACTLY WHAT THE REZONING REQUEST HERE IS.
I HEARD SOMEBODY SAY EARLIER, THERE'S, YOU KNOW, AN EYESORE WITH THESE PORTA-POTTIES HERE.
THAT'S NOT SUBJECT TO, TO WHAT'S GOING ON HERE WITH THE REZONING.
WE'RE JUST TALKING ABOUT A VERY SMALL AREA WITHIN THE CENTER OF THIS PROPERTY.
UM, THAT'S, THAT'S, UH, THE SUBJECT OF THIS REZONING REQUEST.
SO I DO THINK THAT THE DEVELOPER, OR NOT THE DEVELOPER, BUT I DO THINK THE, UH, THE APPLICANT NEEDS SOME ADDITIONAL TIME TO TALK WITH THESE NEIGHBORS.
ADDITIONALLY, AND I APOLOGIZE ABOUT THIS, UM, BUT I'D LIKE TO GO TO THE SITE, UM, MYSELF.
UM, UNFORTUNATELY I'VE BEEN OUTTA TOWN OVER THE PAST COUPLE OF WEEKS OFF AND ON, AND I HAVEN'T HAD AN OPPORTUNITY TO GO OUT THERE AND LOOK AT IT MYSELF, UH, AS WELL AS TALK TO THE, TO THE FOLKS IN THE AREA.
AND SO FOR THAT REASON, I AM GONNA BE MOVING TO CONTINUE THIS.
UM, BUT I GUESS IF THERE'S QUESTIONS NOW, UH, WE CAN GO AHEAD AND DO THAT.
UM, THANK YOU COMMISSIONER WHITE, ANY QUESTIONS FROM COMMERS ON MY LEFT? I I DO HAVE SOME QUESTIONS OF MS. KELLER IF SHE COULD COME BACK.
UH, I, I JUST WANT TO UNDERSTAND YOUR ROLE ARE, ARE YOU REPRESENTING THE GROUP OR ARE YOU AN ATTORNEY REPRESENTING THE ENTIRE I'M NOT REPRESENTING THEM.
I I WANNA MAKE SURE THAT WE ALL COMMISSIONS UNDERSTAND THIS.
UM, I DON'T KNOW IF YOU KNOW THE STATE LAWS ABOUT BINGO, BUT, UH, THERE'S A STATE REQUIREMENT, AND I DON'T KNOW THE AMOUNT HAS CHANGED THAT 15% TO GET THE LICENSE FOR A BINGO MUST BE GIVEN TO NONPROFIT 5 0 1 C THREE.
SO I DON'T KNOW IF YOU KNOW ABOUT THAT, THAT THAT'S ACTUALLY A STATE REQUIREMENT.
I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE ALL HAVE THE RIGHT AND CLARIFY THAT INFORMATION.
THAT IS NOT, THAT THEIR OUT OF THEIR WILLINGNESS, THEY DESIRE TO GIVE OTHER MONEY THAT IS ACTUALLY STATE REQUIREMENT.
SO YOU WANNA POINT OUT THAT THEY'RE NOT CHOOSING TO GIVE MONEY, THEY'RE REQUIRED TO.
NO, THAT IT IS NOT A HUNDRED PERCENT, UH, THAT THEY'RE REQUIRED BY LAW THAT, SO I, I WANNA MAKE SURE THAT WE CLARIFY THAT INFORMATION, THAT THEY'RE NOT BASICALLY IN ORDER TO GET THE LICENSE.
I, I BELIEVE HE'S WALKING OVER.
I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE HAVE THE LATEST, MOST CORRECT INFORMATION SO THAT WE'RE ALL WELL, WELL-INFORMED.
THE LAW IS THE CHARITABLE BINGO.
IT HAS TO BE EQUALLY DIVIDED BY ALL OF THE CHARITIES FROM THAT.
THESE HALLS BRING IN ABOUT 7 MILLION A YEAR BEFORE COVID AND THE MONEY WE HAVE GIVEN OUT, I KNOW AT NORTHEAST BINGO WHERE MY ROTARY CLUB PLAYS, WE HAVE GIVEN OVER A MILLION DOLLARS JUST TO THAT CHARITY.
SO THERE IS NO REQUIREMENT THAT WAS CHANGED SOME YEARS AGO ON THE 15%.
DOES THAT ANSWER THE QUESTION? YEAH, I JUST WANNA MAKE SURE THAT WE, WE UNDERSTAND ALL THAT, THAT PROCESS BECAUSE I DO KNOW ANOTHER
[01:30:01]
BINGO PERSON THAT RUNS SEVERAL IN SOUTH SIDE OR WEST SIDE.AND IN ORDER TO GET THEIR LICENSE, THEY HAD TO ACTUALLY BRING 5 0 6 5 0 1 C THREES TO COMPLY WITH THE REQUIREMENTS.
SO I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE WE'RE WELL INFORMED.
THEY'RE REQUIRED TO HAVE FOUR TO SEVEN CHARITIES IN A BINGO HALL, IF, YOU KNOW, THAT'S, THAT'S THE REQUIREMENTS THERE.
SO IT HAS TO BE 5 0 1 CS THAT HAVE BEEN IN TEXAS FOR AT LEAST THREE YEARS IN OPERATING AND GO THROUGH ALL SORTS OF PROCEDURES SHOWING THAT THEIR BOARD IS CORRECT AND EVERYTHING ELSE.
THEY'RE VERY MUCH REGULATED BY THE STATE.
AND HOW MANY DO YOU REPRESENT? PARDON ME? HOW MANY DO YOU REPRESENT? UH, I'M WHAT'S CALLED THE DESIGNATED AGENT AT 43 BINGO HALLS ACROSS THE STATE.
SO I REPRESENT ALMOST 200 CHARITIES AT THOSE HALLS.
AND MY ROTARY CLUB ACTUALLY PLAYS IN NORTHEAST.
AND SO WE'VE BEEN VERY INVOLVED THERE AND MAKING SURE THAT THINGS ARE DONE CORRECT AND HAVE IT, SO THAT IS WHAT WE DO.
AND, AND COMMISSIONER BARROS, I'M NOT REAL SURE IF THAT IS REALLY KIND OF GERMANE TO, WE'RE, WE'RE NOT TALKING ABOUT THE BING THE BINGO HALLS ARE NOT THE SUBJECT OF THE ZONING CASE AT THIS PART.
IT'S, IT'S THE, THE PROPERTY ADJACENT TO THE, THE, THAT, THAT'S CORRECT.
BUT BECAUSE THEY BROUGHT SO MANY INDEPENDENT REPRESENTATIVES TODAY TO SPEAK AGAINST THE SUBJECT, I WANNA MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE ALL WELL EDUCATED ABOUT ALL THE BUSINESSES AND IN THAT INDUSTRIAL AREA.
UM, ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? COMMISSIONERS LEFT? OKAY.
AND MAYBE, UH, IF THE STAFF AND LOOK FORWARD TO THE REPORT FOR MY FELLOW COMMISSIONER HERE.
UM, IT WOULD BE IDEAL IF YOU COULD CONFIRM WHETHER OR NOT, OR PUT TO BED WHETHER OR NOT THERE IS A SMELL FROM, FROM SITE VISIT BEHALF OF COMMISSIONERS.
GOD BLESS AND STAFF, BASED ON THE REPORT THAT YOU HAVE SUBMITTED TO THIS ITEM, YOU DO NOTE THAT THERE COULD BE IMPACT OR THERE ARE ADVERSE, COULD BE ADVERSE IMPACTS IN, UH, THE ZONING.
I'M ASSUMING THAT'S WHY AS A RESULT OF THE ZONING CHANGE, AND THAT'S WHY YOU HAVE RECOMMENDED DENIAL.
DO YOU ALL HAVE ANY REPORTS AROUND THE SMELL SPECIFICALLY THAT YOU HAVE TO SHARE IN ADDITION TO THE REPORT THAT YOU GAVE HERE TO CONFIRM IF THERE'S ANY DEBATE AROUND THAT? WE DON'T HAVE ANY OFFICIAL REPORTS.
UM, WE HAVE ALSO HEARD OF, UM, ODORS FROM THE SITES THAT THERE'S MORE THAN ONE OF THESE SITES.
AND SO THERE HAVE BEEN CONTINUED, UM, PHONE CALLS AND, UH, EMAILS ABOUT SMELLS FROM SITES SUCH AS THIS.
UM, COMMISSIONER, WE QUESTION.
CAN YOU GO OVER YOUR STAFF REPORT AND, UH, DISCUSS WHY YOU RECOMMENDED DENIAL? OKAY.
FIRST OF ALL, UM, THE DESIGNATED LAND USE IS AGRIBUSINESS HERE.
AND SO THAT'S GENERALLY LIGHT INDUSTRIAL TYPES OF USES.
UM, THIS IS A HEAVY INDUSTRIAL USE.
IT IS TO ISOLATED TO A SMALL AREA.
UH, BUT WE DO NOT FEEL THAT A SANITARY LANDFILL FILL IS APPROPRIATE, UM, BECAUSE IT DOES ALLOW HEAVY INDUSTRIAL USE.
NOW THEY ARE, UH, LIMITING IT TO THAT ONE SMALL SECTION THAT IS, UH, INDICATED ON THE ZONING MAP AND IN THEIR SITE PLAN.
UM, IN GENERAL, HEAVY INDUSTRIAL USES CAN BRING HEAVY TRUCK TRAFFIC AS WELL AS ENVIRONMENTAL POLLUTANTS.
AND SO FOR THOSE REASONS, UH, WE JUST DIDN'T FEEL THAT IT WAS APPROPRIATE TO MOVE FORWARD WITH WITH THAT TYPE OF USE.
UH, CHAIR BUS DEANTE, DID YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS? NONE.
BACK TO COMMISSIONER WHITE FOR A MOTION.
ALRIGHT, I WANT TO THANK EVERYBODY, UH, THAT CAME OUT TODAY.
LIKE I OFTEN SAY, UM, TO ME IT'S THIS SORT OF DEMOCRACY IN ACTION.
I LOVE WHEN EVERYBODY GETS INVOLVED AND SO, UM, I, I LIKE IT THAT ALL THE NEIGHBORS WERE HERE AND, AND I REALLY
[01:35:01]
APPRECIATE EVERYBODY'S TIME.I ALSO WANT TO SAY WITH RESPECT TO THE CHARITABLE ASPECT OF THE, UH, OF THE BINGO FACILITIES, UM, THAT ALSO WARMS MY HEART.
I THINK IT'S GREAT THAT EVERYBODY, UH, WHO'S INVOLVED IN THAT IS INVOLVED WITH THAT.
UM, YOU KNOW, THE MORE FOLKS WE HAVE CONTRIBUTING TO THESE CHARITIES AND THE GOOD WORK THAT THEY DO, THE BETTER AS FAR AS I'M CONCERNED.
WITH THAT SAID, OUR JOB AS COMMISSIONERS AND MY JOB IS TO STRICTLY LOOK AT THE LAND USE ASPECT OF THIS.
I MEAN, THAT IS WHAT WE ARE TASKED WITH DOING.
IS THIS AN APPROPRIATE, UM, USE OF THE LAND, UM, WHAT WE LOOK AT, WHAT THE APPLICANT'S REQUESTING, AND THEN WE TRY TO MAKE THAT DETERMINATION.
UM, AND SO WITH ALL OF THAT BEING SAID, AND BASED ON THE FACT THAT I HAVE NOT BEEN TO THE PROPERTY YET AND BASED ON THE FACT THAT I STILL THINK THERE'S A MISUNDERSTANDING THERE WITH, WITH RESPECT TO WHAT EXACTLY THE ZONING REQUEST IS HERE, UM, I MOVE TO, UM, CONTINUE ITEM SEVEN TO THE, UH, OCTOBER 4TH MEETING.
THERE'S A MOTION FOR A CONTINUANCE TO OCTOBER 4TH.
COMMISSIONER CAME WITH, WITH A SECOND.
ANY DISCUSSION? COMMISSIONERS ON MY LEFT.
THE V VOTE IS FOR, UH, CONTINUANCE TO THE OCTOBER 4TH MEETING.
AND WE'LL SEE SOME OF YOU IN TWO WEEKS.
UM, IT'S 2 45, USUALLY AT THREE.
DO WE WANNA DO ONE MORE CASE COMMISSIONERS? ONE MORE CASE, ONE MORE CASE BEFORE BREAK.
I BELIEVE THAT WOULD BE CASE NUMBER 10.
AND BENAVIDEZ ZONING PLANNER WITH DEVELOPMENT SERVICES.
ITEM NUMBER 10 IS LOCATED AT 2 6 9 5 NORTH FOSTER ROAD AND IS A REQUEST TO GO FROM C THREE TO I ONE WITH ALL OVERLAYS REMAINING THE SAME.
THERE ARE EIGHT NOTICES MAILED WITH ONE RETURN IN FAVOR, ZERO OPPOSED.
AND NO REGISTERED NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATION STAFF DOES NOT FIND EVIDENCE OF LIKELY INVERSE LIKELY ADVERSE IMPACTS ON NEIGHBORING LANDS IN RELATION TO THIS ZONING CHANGE REQUEST.
THE PROPOSED USE IS CONSISTENT WITH THE ESTABLISHED DEVELOPMENT PATTERN OF THE SURROUNDING AREA.
I ONE GENERAL INDUSTRIAL DISTRICT ZONING ABUTS THE PROPERTY ON ALL SIDES AND IS APPROPRIATE FOR THE PROPERTY GIVEN THE INDUSTRIAL ZONING AND LAND USE THAT ENCOMPASSES THE SUBJECT.
PROPERTY STAFF RECOMMENDS APPROVAL AND THE APPLICANT IS HERE TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS.
IF WE COULD HAVE THAT APPLICANT.
UH, AT THREE 11 GRANDVIEW PLACE.
IF YOU HAVE A BRIEF PRESENTATION OR JUST A DESCRIPTION OF WHAT YOU'RE SEEKING.
YEAH, BASICALLY WHAT WE'RE TRYING TO DO HERE IS CLEAN UP THE ZONING.
WE OWN A TRACT OF LAND THERE THAT IS ALL, EVERY, ALL THE REST OF IT EXCEPT FOR A LITTLE, UH, LONG THE FOSTER ROAD.
AND THEN ON THE NORTH SIDE ABUTTING, UH, SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL, THERE'S A LITTLE STRIP OF, UH, COMMERCIAL, THE REST OF IT'S ALL ZONED I ONE AND WE'RE JUST TRYING TO GET THIS LITTLE TRIANGULAR PIECE THAT STICKS IN THE MIDDLE OF OUR INDUSTRIALLY ZONED PROPERTY TO BRING IT INTO CONFORMANCE.
WE MAY CALL YOU BACK WITH QUESTIONS.
UH, YEAH, THE REASON THIS ITEM WAS PULLED IS WE HAVE ONE PERSON SIGNED UP TO SPEAK SHELBY BEDNER.
THAT IS, THAT'S ALL WE HAD FOR PUBLIC COMMENT.
WELL THIS IS, UH, LET'S SEE WHOSE CASE IS, THIS IS CASE 10, DISTRICT TWO.
SO COMMISSIONER THE HOLLAND TO YOU.
[01:40:01]
COMMENT.QUESTIONS LEFT, QUESTIONS RIGHT CHAIR, BUSANTE, ANY QUESTIONS? NO.
MOTION TO APPROVE ITEM NUMBER 10.
MOTION IS TO APPROVE ITEM 10 BY COMMISSIONER LAG HOLLAND WITH THE SECOND BY COMMISSIONER FUENTES.
ANY DISCUSSION? COMMISSIONER'S LEFT, RIGHT CHAIR.
SHALL WE DO ONE MORE SINCE I WAS QUICK SHALL OKAY.
ITEM NUMBER 11 I BELIEVE IS NEXT.
UM, GOOD AFTERNOON COMMISSIONERS.
MY NAME IS JOYCE PALMER, SENIOR PLANNER WITH THE CITY'S PLANNING DEPARTMENT.
ITEM NUMBER 12, LOCATED AT 7 2 5 1.
ERMAN ROAD IS A REQUEST TO CHANGE THE ZONING FROM O C L, WHICH IS OUTSIDE CITY LIMITS, UH, AND ALSO RESIDENTIAL ESTATE AND RESIDENTIAL SINGLE FAMILY, UH, CHANGE TO RESIDENTIAL MIXED PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT.
ALL OVERLAYS REMAINING THE SAME SEVEN NOTICES WERE MAILED OUT TO PROPERTY OWNERS WITHIN 200 FEET.
TWO WERE RETURNED IN FAVOR, ONE IN OPPOSITION AND 11 RETURNED IN OPPOSITION OUTSIDE 200 FEET.
AND FRIENDS OF SAN ANTONIO NATURAL AREAS IS OPPOSED.
UM, A PORTION OF THIS PROPERTY IS OUTSIDE CITY LIMITS, WHICH IS WHY PLANNING'S HANDLING IT INSTEAD OF DEVELOPMENT SERVICES.
UH, THE OWNER OF THE SUBJECT PROPERTY HAD PREVIOUSLY ENTERED INTO A DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT WITH THE CITY NOT TO BE ANNEXED, UM, BUT IS NOW PETITIONING THE CITY FOR ANNEXATION IN ANTICIPATION OF FUTURE DEVELOPMENT PURSUANT TO SECTION 43.016 OF THE TEXAS LOCAL GOVERNMENT CODE.
UH, SO THE OWNER IS REQUESTING ANNEXATION TO ALLOW THE ENTIRE PROPERTY TO BE WITHIN THE CITY AND ELIGIBLE FOR CITY SERVICES.
AND A PORTION OF THAT PROCESS INCLUDES APPLYING ZONING TO THE PROPERTY.
SO WITH THAT, UH, THE SUBJECT PROPERTY IS LOCATED IN AN AREA THAT'S TRANSITIONING FROM UNDEVELOPED LAND AND OPEN SPACE TO A MORE RESIDENTIAL AND COMMERCIALLY DEVELOPED AREA.
THERE ARE PROPOSED RESIDENTIAL SUBDIVISIONS LOCATED EAST AND SOUTH OF THE PROPERTY, INCLUDING ANOTHER PUD RMM FOUR DEVELOPMENT DIRECTLY SOUTH ON THE OTHER SIDE OF HUBERMAN ROAD.
AND ADDITIONALLY, AREAS TO THE NORTHEAST AND SOUTH OF THE PROPERTY, EXCLUDING FRIEDRICH PARK, HAVE LARGELY BEEN DEVELOPED FOR RESIDENTIAL AND COMMERCIAL USES, ESPECIALLY TOWARDS I 10.
AND THIS PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT WOULD INCREASE THE VARIETY OF HOUSING OPTIONS AVAILABLE IN THE AREA BASED ON THE EXISTING CONDITIONS AND USES OF THE AREA.
THE PROPOSED PUD RMM FOUR RESIDENTIAL MIXED PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT ZONING DISTRICT WILL NOT HAVE ANY ADVERSE IMPACT ON NEIGHBORING LANDS.
AND SHOULD THIS PROPERTY BE ANNEXED BUT THE ZONING REQUEST BE DENIED, THE PROPERTY WOULD BE ZONED DR.
DEVELOPMENT RESERVED, WHICH IS INTENDED TO PROVIDE A TEMPORARY ZONING CLASSIFICATION FOR NEWLY ANNEXED PROPERTY UNTIL THE PROPERTY'S REZONED BY THE CITY AND THE DR ZONING DISTRICT WOULD CARRY THE SAME USE AND DEVELOPMENT REGULATIONS AS R SIX.
UM, STAFF AND PLANNING COMMISSION BOTH RECOMMEND APPROVAL, UM, AND STAFF AND THE APPLICANT ARE AVAILABLE FOR QUESTIONS AND THE APPLICANT ALSO HAS A PRESENTATION.
IF WE COULD HAVE THE APPLICANT PLEASE, JUST KIND OF HOPING FOR THAT BREAK.
UH, GOOD AFTERNOON COMMISSIONERS.
EMILY WEISLER WITH GIL GRIFFIN AND FAIRMAN 1 0 1 0 1 REUNION PLACE SUITE TWO 50.
UM, I WILL BE, UH, FAIRLY BRIEF, UH, WHILE WE'VE BEEN GOING THROUGH THE AGENDA TODAY.
I THINK THAT WE'VE, UH, MADE SOME GOOD HEADWAY AND IN AGREEMENT WITH THE FRIENDS.
UM, BUT I WILL LET LANCE SPEAK.
UM, IF WE CAN START JUST, UM, CAN I CONTROL THAT FROM HERE OR NO, THAT'S OKAY.
UM, SO AS STAFF MENTIONED, THIS PROPERTY IS JUST OVER 10 AND A HALF ACRES ALONG ERMAN, UM, JUST SOUTH OF WHERE ERMAN TAKES A RIDE INTO TO I 10.
UH, THE PROPERTY IS, THERE IS 5.3 ACRES THAT IS CURRENTLY OUTSIDE CITY LIMITS, THAT'S SUBJECT TO THAT DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT.
UM, AND THEN JUST UNDER 5.3 ACRES THAT IS INSIDE CITY LIMITS.
SO WE WENT TO PLANNING COMMISSION
[01:45:01]
ON AUGUST 10TH FOR THEIR CONSIDERATION OF THE ANNEXATION AND THE SERVICES AGREEMENT.THEY RECOMMENDED APPROVAL, UM, FOR THAT SMALL, UH, OUTSIDE CITY LIMITS PIECE.
AND THEN WE ARE PROPOSING A COLLECTIVE REZONING FOR THE ENTIRE TRACK FOR ONE COHESIVE DEVELOPMENT.
UM, AND WE CAN JUST GET A CHUNK THROUGH THESE.
UM, JUST A COUPLE AND THIS REAL QUICK ACTUALLY.
UM, JUST A COUPLE AERIALS TO GIVE YOU A, A GENERAL LOCATION, UH, WHERE WE ARE ON ERMAN.
UM, BUT WANTED TO SHOW YOU GUYS THIS, THIS, THIS PIECE THAT IS OUTSIDE CITY LIMITS.
UM, YOU CAN SEE THAT EVERYTHING ELSE AROUND IT, UM, IS INSIDE CITY LIMITS.
SO THIS IS KIND OF A, AN ODD LAST REMAINING PIECE THAT WE ARE TRYING TO BRING IN AND COHESIVELY DEVELOP.
UH, WE DID GO TO PLANNING COMMISSION LAST WEEK FOR THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AMENDMENT FOR THE ENTIRE TRACT.
UH, RIGHT NOW IT IS DESIGNATED RURAL ESTATE TIER, UH, AND WE ARE REQUESTING A PLAN AMENDMENT TO SUBURBAN PLANNING COMMISSION.
DID RECOMMEND APPROVAL ALONG WITH STAFF, UM, OF THE PLAN AMENDMENT ITSELF.
UM, WE HAVE RECEIVED A HANDFUL OF COMMENTS.
UM, I KNOW STAFF MENTIONED THAT THERE ARE FOLKS OUTSIDE OF 200 FEET THAT HAVE RESPONDED.
UM, WE'VE GOTTEN SOME COMMENTS FROM KIND OF QUITE FRANKLY ALL OVER THE CITY, UM, FROM FOLKS VERY SENSITIVE OF COURSE TO OUR PROXIMITY TO FRIEDRICH PARK.
AND I WANNA MAKE IT VERY CLEAR THAT WE, THAT THIS PROPERTY IS NOT WITHIN THE PARK.
THIS IS PRIVATELY OWNED PROPERTY.
UM, WE ARE ADJOINING THE PARK AND WE'VE BEEN WORKING OVER THE LAST SEVERAL WEEKS, MONTHS, UM, WITH, UM, LANDS IN THE FRIENDS OF SAN ANTONIO NATURAL AREAS TO ADDRESS THOSE CONCERNS, UM, AND MAKE SURE THAT THE DEVELOPMENT IS, UH, COHESIVE AND COMPATIBLE IN PROXIMITY TO THE PARK.
UM, SO AGAIN, OUR REZONING REQUEST IS TO AN RMM FOUR P, UM, WHICH ALLOWS FOR A MAXIMUM OF SEVEN UNITS AN ACRE DENSITY.
UM, VERY SIMILAR TO THE, THE CURRENT OVERALL DENSITY ON THE R SIX PIECE, BUT WE ARE PROPOSING A, UM, 70 UNIT DEVELOPMENT.
SO ORIGINALLY WHEN WE STARTED THIS PROJECT, UM, WE WERE AT A TOTAL OF 90 UNITS.
UM, WE HAVE SINCE REDUCED THAT DENSITY AND KIND OF REVISED THE P PLAN LAYOUT, UM, FOR THAT 70 UNITS.
UM, WHAT WE WOULD ACT RESPECTFULLY REQUEST.
UM, AS PART OF OUR REQUEST FOR YOUR APPROVAL TODAY, UM, WE'VE ALSO LIKE TO ADD IN A CONDITION FOR A MINIMUM 25 FOOT SETBACK ON THAT NORTHERN BOUNDARY.
DO YOU HAVE THE, CAN I BORROW THIS? MAYBE YOU'RE NOT SUPPOSED TO LOOK AT IT.
TRY NOT TO LOOK STRAIGHT INTO IT.
UM, SO IS EVERYTHING THAT WE'VE BEEN TALKING WITH THE FRIENDS HERE, UM, RIGHT NOW WE HAVE A, AN 18 FOOT SEPARATION BETWEEN US AND THE PARK ON THE NORTHERN BOUNDARY HERE.
UM, AND WE'D LIKE TO GO ON THE RECORD REQUESTING THAT, THAT BE A CONDITION OF THE ZONING IF POSSIBLE.
UM, THAT, THAT'S A MINIMUM OF 25 FEET HERE.
UM, BUT THIS IS THE 70 UNIT DEVELOPMENT.
YOU CAN SEE WE HAVE, UM, EXTENSIVE DRAINAGE OPEN SPACE, KIND OF PRESERVED ALL AROUND THE BORDERS.
UM, THIS IS ALSO A 70 TO 90 FOOT DRAINAGE AND BUFFER EASEMENT ALONG ERMAN ROAD WITH AN 18 FOOT STREET DEDICATION.
SO THE PROJECT ITSELF, THE DEVELOPMENT ITSELF IS KIND OF SURROUNDED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE PROPERTY, UM, GIVING SIGNIFICANT BUFFER AND PRIVACY TO THE PARK.
WE DO NOT HAVE ANY ACCESS TO THE PARK.
UM, SO THERE IS, UM, NO CONCERN ABOUT THAT.
UM, THE, THE PARK ACTUALLY DRAINS INTO THIS SITE, SO THAT IS ALSO PART OF THEIR NEED FOR THIS EXTENSIVE DRAINAGE.
UM, WE ARE DOING DRAINAGE, EXCUSE ME, EARTH AND DRAINAGE, UH, FEATURES THROUGHOUT THIS PROPERTY.
UM, WITH RESPECT TO THE PROXIMITY TO THE PARK, THIS IS JUST ANOTHER, UM, JUST ANOTHER VIEW.
UM, YOU CAN SEE THE LOTS OUTLINED IN YELLOW AND THAT KIND OF GREEN OPEN DRAINAGE SPACE.
AND THEN OF COURSE OUR DETENTION POND UP HERE.
UM, THIS IS 70 UNITS, UM, IN A, IN A ZERO LOT LINE TYPE OF DEVELOPMENT.
SO YOU'LL HAVE ONE HOME PER LOT.
UM, SO THIS IS SORT OF THAT MISSING MIDDLE.
UM, I KNOW THAT YOU ALL HAVE SEEN A HANDFUL OF TRADITIONAL MULTIFAMILY CASES UP AND DOWN HEMAN KIND OF ALONG THIS I 10 CORRIDOR, SEEN A LOT OF APARTMENTS COME IN HERE.
UM, AND THERE'S NOT, UM, A TON OF OPTIONS FOR ANYTHING ELSE OTHER THAN THAT.
UM, AND SOME REALLY TRADITIONAL SINGLE FAMILY.
SO THIS IS PART OF THAT MISSING MIDDLE, UH, RESIDENTIAL PRODUCT OFFERING IN THIS AREA.
UM, AND JUST REAL QUICK, JUST WANTED TO TOUCH ON THAT.
WE HAVE DONE ENDANGERED SPECIES STUDIES HERE.
UM, WE KNOW THAT THIS IS IN A PROTECTION AREA, BUT WE HAVE CONFIRMED THAT THERE ARE NO GOLDEN CHEEK COBLER IN HABITAT ON THIS PROPERTY.
UM, WE ALSO HAVE NO KARST FEATURES THERE.
SO THOSE ENVIRONMENTAL SENSITIVE AND ENDANGERED SPECIES HAVE THOSE STUDIES HAVE BEEN DONE ON THIS PROPERTY.
[01:50:01]
UM, AND WE'LL KIND OF FLIP THROUGH THESE REAL QUICK, BUT, UM, THIS IS JUST A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THE DEVELOPER FOR THE, WHAT WE'RE CALLING THE FRIEDRICH HILLS, UM, PROJECT PLAN.SO ROSE HAVEN IS THE DEVELOPER FOR THIS.
UM, WE ARE TALKING APPROXIMATELY 1200, EXCUSE ME, 2000 SQUARE FEET, UM, PER UNIT.
UM, THESE WILL BE FOR SALE UNITS, ONE HOME PER LOT.
SO, UM, VERY BASIC PARK, UM, IS OBVIOUSLY AMENITY JUST IN GENERAL PROXIMITY, BUT WE WILL HAVE OUR OWN DOG PARK.
UM, AND THEN OBVIOUSLY THE SCENIC LOOKOUT.
SO, UM, TAKING A LOT OF INTO CONSIDERATION TO THE NATURAL BEAUTY, UM, AND PRESERVING THAT AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE.
UM, YOU CAN CLICK ON THROUGH, CLICK ON THROUGH.
SO, UM, AGAIN, OUR REZONING REQUEST, UM, IS FOR THE ENTIRE TRACT, INCLUDING THE PIECE THAT IS CURRENTLY OUTSIDE CITY LIMITS.
UM, THE ANNEXATION AND THE ZONING AND THE PLEN AMENDMENT WILL ALL MOVE FORWARD TO CITY COUNCIL COLLECTIVELY AS ONE PACKAGE.
UM, AND WE ARE REQUESTING A REZONING AND YOUR SUPPORT FOR THE RMM FOUR, UH, WITH THAT 25 FOOT MINIMUM SETBACK REQUIREMENT ON THE NORTHERN BOUNDARY, UM, AVAILABLE FOR ANY QUESTIONS.
AND THIS IS, UH, KIND OF A DISTRICT DATE.
SO COMMISSIONER, WE HAVE ONE, UH, ONE PUBLIC SPEAKER.
IS THAT WHAT MR. LANCE GEBERT? HELLO, UH, MY NAME IS LANCE GEBERT.
I'M VICE PRESIDENT OF FRIENDS OF SAN ANTONIO NATURAL AREAS, UH, WE WERE FORMALLY CALLED UH, FRIENDS OF FRIEDRICH WILDERNESS PARK.
OUR PURPOSE IS TO, UH, PROMOTE AND PROTECT THE PARKS TO THE EXTENT POSSIBLE.
THAT INCLUDES, UH, FRIEDRICH PARK AND THE OTHER NATURAL AREAS SUCH AS CROWN RIDGE AND MEDINA.
UM, WE DO EDUCATIONAL SERVICES, UH, WE BUS ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS IN.
WE SUPPORT THE EDUCATIONAL COORDINATORS, UH, AND WE DO TRAIL MAINTENANCE AND HAVE BUILT SOME OF THE TRAILS IN THE PARK.
UM, WE WERE OPPOSED TO THIS, BUT IT LOOKS LIKE, UH, WE COME TO AN AGREEMENT WITH THE, UM, DEVELOPER, UH, AND UH, AS LONG AS THERE'S A 25 FOOT, UH, SETBACK TO THE NORTH OF THE PROPERTY AND THEY AGREE TO OUR COVENANTS AND RESTRICTIONS THAT WE PROVIDE TO PROTECT THE PARK AND THE NATURAL PLANTS AND ANIMALS AND WE'RE WE'LL WITHDRAW OUR OPPOSITION.
I ALSO LEFT A PHONE CALL 'CAUSE I WASN'T TRYING I TO GET HERE LAST TIME, SO YOU CAN SKIP THAT IF YOU WANT.
DO WE HAVE ANY OTHER PUBLIC COMMENT? I HAVE ONE COMMENT OR CLARIFICATION THAT I NEED TO MAKE.
SO, ON A PUD PLAN, AS YOU KNOW, THERE'S A REQUIRED 20 FOOT PERIMETER SETBACK.
DID YOU SAY YOU NEEDED A REDUCTION? BECAUSE THAT WILL BE SOMETHING THAT NEEDS TO BE CAPTIONED FOR.
WE'RE INCREASING SETBACK TO 25 FEET.
BUT YOU, YOU DO HAVE, HAVE INDICATED A 20 FOOT PERIMETER SETBACK ON YOUR PUD PLAN.
'CAUSE I COULDN'T SEE IT, BUT
UH, SO JUST WANNA ENSURE THAT NOW ANYTHING ABOVE THAT, IF YOU NOTE THAT ON YOUR SITE PLAN, THAT'S FINE.
UH, BUT IT'S NOT A, A REQUIREMENT OF THE CITY, WE'RE JUST GONNA REQUIRE THE MINIMUM.
WAS THERE ANY OTHER PUBLIC COMMENT? ALRIGHT, AND YOU KNOW, I, I COMPLETELY FORGOT TO ASK FOR APPLICANTS TO GIVE REBUTTAL WHEN WE HAD PUBLIC COMMENT.
SO YOU'RE THE FIRST ONE THAT'S OKAY AT THE END.
SORRY, I'LL BE BRIEF, BUT, UM, WE WILL BE SUBMITTING AN UPDATED PUT PLAN FOR THE RECORD TO MOVE FORWARD.
UM, ACTUALLY I DON'T REALLY HAVE ANYTHING.
I'D JUST THANK, UM, EMILY FOR HER PRESENTATION AND ALSO, UH, THE FRIENDS OF FREDERICK PARK COMING IN AND, UH, VOICING THEIR OPINION AS WITH SUPPORT.
UM, BUT I'M READY TO MAKE A MOTION ONCE YOU'RE READY.
ANY QUESTIONS? COMMISSIONERS ON MY LEFT.
UH, COMMISSIONER, WE HAS A QUESTION.
I'M GETTING, I'M GETTING FASTER.
DURING YOUR PRESENTATION, IS THERE A, UH, PHYSICAL BARRIER BETWEEN YOUR DEVELOPMENT AND THE PARK? LIKE IS THERE A FENCE OR SOME KIND? I DON'T BELIEVE THAT THERE'S A FENCE.
THERE'S A SMALL FENCE THERE NOW.
BUT WERE YOU PLANNING TO PUT A FENCE? SO WE HAVE A, THAT'S WHAT, UH, WE'VE NEGOTIATED WITH THE FRIENDS HERE IS THAT THAT'S A LANDSCAPE OF OUR DRAINAGE.
UM, FENCES FOR THE BACKYARDS WILL BE AFTER THAT.
AND SO THAT'S ALSO PART OF THE, THE BUILDING SETBACK LINE WILL BE A MINIMUM 25 FEET, PARTICULARLY ON THAT NORTHERN END.
SO, UM, THAT THOSE NEW BACKYARD FENCES WILL BE MINIMUM 25 FEET BACK HERE.
[01:55:01]
INTO THE PARK.YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO GO THROUGH THE FENCES INTO THE PARK.
UH, CHAIR BUSANTE, ANY QUESTIONS? NONE.
UM, I HAD ONE QUESTION FOR STAFF.
IS THIS IS NOT AN EASY RD CASE.
I MEAN IT'S NOT OVER THE RECHARGE ZONE OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT.
IT IS NOT OVER THE RECHARGE ZONE.
IT IS IN THE DRAINAGE AREA, BUT NOT OVER THE RECHARGE ARTESIAN ZONE, SO, OKAY.
ALRIGHT, COMMISSIONER ORTIZ TO YOU FOR A MOTION.
GO AHEAD AND MAKE A MOTION FOR APPROVAL.
AND ALSO JUST WANNA MAKE ANOTHER COMMENT JUST, I'D LIKE TO THANK THE DEVELOPER FOR REDUCING THE UNITS FROM 90 UNITS TO 70 AND WORKING WITH THE PEOPLE AROUND IT.
THOUGHT THAT WAS A GREAT, UH, KIND OF WORK WITH THE PEOPLE IN THAT AREA, WHICH ALWAYS KIND OF WORKS TO GOING FORWARD.
ALRIGHT, UH, MOTION IS FOR APPROVAL BY COMMISSIONER ORTIZ, SECOND BY COMMISSIONER BARROS.
ANY COMMENT? COMMISSIONER LEFT.
COMMISSIONER LULE HOLLAND? YES.
UH, WE ARE GONNA TAKE A SHORT BREAK, FIVE MINUTES OR SO AND START THE MEETING BACK UP AT THAT TIME OFF THE MEETING.
AND I SEE COMMISSIONER WHITE RUSHING, RUSHING BACK TO HIS SPOT.
SO WE'LL CALL THE MEETING BACK IN ORDER AT, WHAT IS IT? THREE 17.
ALRIGHT, I BELIEVE WE'RE ON ITEM 16.
MY NAME IS ELIZABETH STEWART, ZONING PLANNER WITH DEVELOPMENT SERVICES.
ITEM NUMBER 16 IS LOCATED AT 7 8 8 8 FREDERICKSBURG ROAD GOING FROM C TWO TO C TWO SS WITH A SPECIFIC USE AUTHORIZATION FOR A CAR WASH WITH ALL OVERLAY STAYING THE SAME.
THERE WERE 12 NOTICES SENT OUT.
ZERO RECEIVED IN FAVOR, ZERO IN OPPOSITION, AND NO NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATION WITHIN 200 FEET.
THE EXISTING C TWO COMMERCIAL DISTRICT IS AN APPROPRIATE ZONING FOR THE PROPERTY AND SURROUNDING AREA.
THE PROPOSED C TWO SS COMMERCIAL DISTRICT WITH SPECIFIC USE AUTHORIZATION FOR A CAR WASH IS ALSO AN APPROPRIATE ZONING FOR THE PROPERTY.
THE REQUEST MAINTAINS THE CURRENT BASED C TWO COMMERCIAL ZONING AND THE S SPECIFIC USE AUTHORIZATION ALLOWS CONSIDERATION OF THE USE CAR WASH.
THE REQUEST ALLOWS FOR THE EXPANSION OF AN EXISTING BUSINESS AND PROMOTES ADDITIONAL COMMERCIAL DEVELOPMENT AND AN ALREADY ESTABLISHED COMMERCIAL AREA.
STAFF DOES NOT FIND EVIDENCE OF LIKELY INVERSE 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.
STAFF RECOMMENDS APPROVAL AND IS AVAILABLE FOR ANY QUESTIONS AND THE APPLICANT IS PRESENT.
OKAY, IF WE COULD HAVE THE APPLICANT PLEASE.
COULD YOU PUT THE UH, SITE PLAN ON PLEASE? UM, BASICALLY WHAT WE'RE REQUESTING HERE TODAY IS TO PURCHASE THE PROPERTY THAT WE'RE REZONING, WHICH IS FIGURE THIS OUT HERE.
AND WE'RE PURCHASING THIS PROPERTY UP ABOVE, WHICH IS AN EXISTING CAR WASH.
SO THE GOAL IS TO DEMOLISH THIS OLD UNRE RECYCLING OF WATER, PROBABLY USING OLDER CHEMICALS CAR WASH TO PUT IN A NEW CAR WASH DOWN HERE.
IT'LL BE A TOMMY'S EXPRESS, IT'LL RECYCLE MORE THAN 60% OF THE WATER, USE CLEAN CHEMICALS, THINGS LIKE THAT.
AND THEN BUILD A COFFEE SHOP UP HERE ON THE, ON THE OTHER LOT WHERE THE, THE CAR WASH IS EXISTING.
I DID REACH OUT TO THE SAN ANTONIO MEDICAL FOUNDATION.
THEY'RE IN SUPPORT, THEY SUPPORT A NEW ENVIRONMENTALLY SENSITIVE CAR WASH VERSUS AN OLD UNDERPERFORMING CAR WASH.
AND THAT'S BASICALLY OUR REQUEST JUST FOR C TWO S FOR A CAR WASH.
I, THERE'S SOMEONE HERE SIGNED UP SO I'LL JUST SAVE JUST A LITTLE BIT OF REBUTTAL TIME.
IF WE COULD, YES, WE HAD ONE PERSON SIGN IN TO SPEAK.
UM, THE BUSINESS ADDRESS IS 78 80 FREDERICKSBURG ROAD.
UM, I WORK FOR A COMPANY CALLED BIGELOW AEROSPACE TECHNOLOGIES.
MY AEROSPACE COMPANY OWNS BUDGET SUITES OF AMERICA IN ALL 20 LOCATIONS THROUGHOUT FOUR
[02:00:01]
SEPARATE STATES.UM, A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO MY COMPANY PUT ME IN CHARGE TO OVERSEE THIS OPERATION DURING COVID.
THEY SAID WE WERE GONNA STAY THERE 'CAUSE WE'RE MAKING A LOT OF MONEY, SO THEY KEPT ME THERE.
UM, THE CONCERNS THAT WE HAVE, ONE IS THERE'S A VERY LARGE HOMELESS PEOPLE PERSON PROBLEM AT THAT CURRENT LOCATION.
UM, ON ANY GIVEN DAY THERE CAN BE ANYWHERE FROM FOUR, SIX UP TO ABOUT 25 THAT BREAK INTO THE CURRENT BUILDING AND THEY'RE CAMPING OUTSIDE.
I UNDERSTAND WHEN THEY START THEIR CONSTRUCTION, ONE OF OUR CONCERNS IF OF THEM COMING ONTO OUR PROPERTY ONE, UM, IT'S SOMETHING WE JUST LIKE TO HAVE ON RECORD AND ONE OF THE OTHER THINGS AS WELL, YOU KNOW, I HAVE OVER 1200 RESIDENTS LIVING THERE RIGHT NOW.
I KNOW WE COME ACROSS VERY MUCH AS HOTEL MOTEL.
WE ARE ACTUALLY NOT, WE'RE AN APARTMENT COMPLEX WITH OVER 1200 RESIDENTS.
UM, I'VE GOT OVER 10% ROUGHLY THAT HAVE BEEN LIVING THERE FOR 20 YEARS.
I'VE GOT ABOUT, UH, AVERAGE STATE RIGHT NOW, IT'S ABOUT A YEAR AND A HALF.
SO IT WOULD BE A SMALL EYESORE TO OUR RESIDENCE AND IT'S SOMETHING WE WOULD JUST LIKE TO MAKE SURE WE HAVE THAT ON RECORD.
REBUTTAL COMMISSIONERS? YES, I GAVE, UM, ADAM MY, MY BUSINESS CARD SO WE CAN KIND OF BE NEIGHBORS AND DISCUSS SOME OF THESE ISSUES GOING FORWARD.
CERTAINLY THE CURRENT HOMELESS PROBLEM THAT'S THERE, ONCE WE DEMOLISH THE EXISTING BUILDING AND BUILD THE NEW CAR WASH, THAT THAT SHOULD BE ADDRESSED.
I KNOW THAT THE CONSTRUCTION CREWS WILL GO OUT THERE AND PUT A PERIMETER FENCE BEFORE THEY START DOING ANY SORT OF DEMOLITION WORK.
AND I WILL CERTAINLY LET MY CLIENTS WHO ARE HAVE THE PROPERTY UNDER CONTRACT KNOW THAT THERE'S A, A CURRENT ISSUE WITH THE HOMELESS.
SO MAYBE THEY CAN SEND SOME PEOPLE OUT THERE TO TRY TO TALK TO THEM, SEE IF THEY CAN HELP THEM MOVE SOMEWHERE ELSE RATHER THAN DOING ANYTHING CRAZY.
SO THAT'S, UH, MY REQUEST AGAIN IS JUST FROM C TWO TO C TWO THREE AND WE'LL CONTINUE TO WORK WITH THE NEIGHBOR AND WE RESPECTFULLY REQUEST YOUR SUPPORT.
UM, COMMISSIONER ORTIZ, I BELIEVE THIS IS WHOSE IS THIS? SEVEN? NO, BUT IT OKAY.
DID WE, WHAT DID, WHAT DID WE STAFF? WHAT DID WE DECIDE? DID WE DECIDE THAT THIS IS DISTRICT EIGHT OR DISTRICT SEVEN? THIS IS EIGHT.
DO YOU WANT ME TO HANDLE IT?
UH, I HAVE NO FURTHER QUESTIONS.
ALRIGHT, ANY QUESTIONS? LEFT? COMMISSIONERS ON MY LEFT.
AND UM, AND I DON'T THINK I HAVE ANY QUESTIONS.
SO BACK TO YOU COMMISSIONER ORTIZ FOR A MOTION.
UM, GO AHEAD AND MAKE A MOTION FOR APPROVAL.
MOTION HAS BEEN MADE FOR APPROVAL BY COMMISSIONER ORTIZ, SECOND BY COMMISSIONER BOTTLES.
UM, ANY DISCUSSION COMMISSIONERS ON MY LEFT? I WAS JUST GONNA MAKE ONE COMMENT JUST TO, UH, FOR THE APPLICANT JUST TO KIND OF TOUCH BASE WITH THE BUDGET THAT'S NEXT DOOR, JUST TO MAKE SURE EVERYBODY'S KIND OF IN COMMUNICATION AND EVERYBODY'S IN IN GOOD STANDINGS.
ANY COMMENT? COMMISSIONERS ON MY RIGHT? NONE.
COMMISSIONER LEGIA HOLLAND? YES.
UH, MY NAME IS MARK CHAVEZ, ZONING PLANNER DEVELOPMENT SERVICES.
IT'S LOCATED AT ONE 14 BUCKINGHAM AVENUE GOING FROM R FOUR A H O D, RESIDENTIAL SINGLE FAMILY AIRPORT HAZARD OVERLAY DISTRICT TO C TWO WITH ALL THE OVERLAYS STAYING THE SAME.
ROOSEVELT PARK NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATION DID REPLY IN OPPOSITION.
UH, STAFF DOES NOT FIND EVIDENCE OF LIKELY ADVERSE IMPACTS ON NEIGHBORING LANDS IN RELATION TO THE ZONING CHANGE REQUESTS.
PROPOSED USE IS CONSISTENT WITH THE ESTABLISHED DEVELOPMENT PATTERN OF THE SURROUNDING AREA.
PROPERTIES ACROSS THE STREET ARE R FOUR RESIDENTIAL SINGLE FAMILY AND THE ADJACENT PROPERTIES ARE I ONE GENERAL INDUSTRIAL.
THE EXISTING R FOUR, IT'S NOT APPROPRIATE FOR THE PROPERTY AND THE SURROUNDING AREA.
RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT IS NOT LIKELY ON
[02:05:01]
THIS PROPERTY, ESPECIALLY DUE TO THE PROXIMITY OF THE INTERSTATE.THE PROPOSED C TWO IS APPROPRIATE.
THE SUBJECT PROPERTY IS GENERALLY ON BUCKINGHAM AVENUE, UH, BETWEEN SOUTH PRESA AND IH 10, IH 37 INTER MAKING IT SUITED FOR COMMERCIAL DEVELOPMENT.
UH, STAFF RECOMMENDS APPROVAL.
STAFF IS AVAILABLE FOR QUESTIONS AND APPLICANT IS PRESENT.
IF WE COULD HAVE THE APPLICANT FOR YOUR PRESENTATION PLEASE.
MY WIFE AND I OWN THE PROPERTY AT 1 1 4 BUCKINGHAM.
I CAME HERE TODAY NOT KNOWING THERE WAS GONNA BE OBJECTION OR A CALL FOR CONTINUANCE.
I GUESS I'LL TAKE MY MINUTE
1 1 4 BUCKINGHAM IS A RESIDENTIAL LOT.
APPARENTLY IN SOMETIME IN DISTANT PAST THERE'D BEEN A HOUSE ON IT.
IT ADJOINS A CORNER LOT AT PREA IN BUCKINGHAM 27 0 2.
SOUTH PRESA HAS A TWO STORY 7,500 SQUARE FOOT BUILDING BUILT IN 1920.
AND THEN THERE'S ANOTHER BUILDING TO THE SOUTH OF THAT, UH, HAS A SMALL TAKEOUT RESTAURANT.
THE BAIA, IT ADJOINS ALL THREE TOUCH.
UM, AND IT SEEMED NATURAL FOR US THAT THAT BACK LOT, THAT RESIDENTIAL LOT JUST SEEMS LIKE A POOR SPOT FOR A FUTURE HOUSE.
LOOKING AT I 10 ON ONE SIDE, I 37 ON THE OTHER PARKING ON THE SOUTH SIDE IS SOMEWHERE BETWEEN DIFFICULT AND IMPOSSIBLE.
WE'RE BLESSED THAT, UH, WE HAVE A FAIR AMOUNT OF PARKING AND A LITTLE BIT MORE IN THE BACK.
UM, IT'S POSSIBLE THE ROOSEVELT GROUP TRIED TO CONTACT US AND WE JUST MISSED EACH OTHER.
BUT TO THE BEST OF MY KNOWLEDGE, I HAVEN'T HEARD FROM THEM OR EXACTLY IF THEY HAVE A RESERVATION OR JUST KIND OF WANT TO KNOW MORE.
BUT IT, UH, I'M NOT QUITE SURE WHY THERE WOULD BE RESERVATION FOR ZONING.
IT'S, IT FITS IN NICELY WITH OUR LITTLE PACKAGE THERE, NICELY FOR US ANYHOW.
I'M NOT QUITE SURE WHERE THE NEIGHBORHOOD WOULD FEEL AT A DISADVANTAGE.
SO ARE THERE ANY QUESTIONS, ANYTHING I'M MISSING IN THIS STORY OR SOMEBODY NEEDS TO KNOW? WE WILL FIND OUT.
DID WE HAVE A PUBLIC COMMENT ON THIS ITEM? WE DON'T HAVE PUBLIC COMMENT ORIGINALLY THAT THE CHAIR, UH, WANTED TO CONTINUE IT BECAUSE WE RECEIVED A LETTER, UM, TODAY RIGHT BEFORE THE MEETING THAT SAYS THAT THE ROOSEVELT PARK NEIGHBORHOOD DOES NOT SUPPORT THE CHANGE IN ZONING FROM R FOUR TO C TWO.
THE OWNERS OF 1 15, 1 19 AND 1 23 ARE ADAMANTLY OPPOSED TO AN OVERFLOW PARKING LOT IN THEIR RESIDENTIAL NEIGHBORHOOD.
THEY'VE MET WITH THE CURRENT, WE HAVE MET THE CURRENT OWNER OF THE PROPERTY AND THEY HAVE EXPLAINED THAT THEY CURRENTLY DO NOT HAVE A PLAN OR PURPOSE FOR OVERFLOW PARKING.
ROOSEVELT PARK NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATION SIGNED JEFFREY HUNT PRESIDENT.
UM, DID YOU WANT A CHANCE TO EITHER RESPOND OR WE CAN JUST ASK SOME QUESTIONS? I THINK I HEARD THAT THE NEIGHBORS, THE THREE HOUSES ACROSS THE STREET HAD OBJECTION.
IT LOOKS LIKE 1 15, 1 19 AND 1 23 BUCKINGHAM.
UM, UNFORTUNATELY OUR CHAIR HAD TO DROP OFF THE MEETING, BUT, UM, HE GAVE EXPLICIT INSTRUCTION TO COMMISSIONER WE TO TAKE OVER FOR ANY QUESTIONS.
UH, THANK YOU TO THE APPLICANT FOR COMING IN TODAY TO SPEAK, BUT I THINK GIVEN THE SITUATION WE HAVE RIGHT NOW WITH THE NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATION, THAT IT MAY BE VERY ADVISABLE TO GO AND CONTINUE THIS SO THAT THERE IS, WE CAN HAVE THAT CONVERSATION BETWEEN YOU AND THE NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATION TO MAKE SURE THAT THERE WE CAN CLARIFY WHAT YOUR PLANS ARE FOR YOUR, UH, PROPERTY.
I MEAN, THEY'RE, THEY'RE, I'VE MET WITH THEM.
I KIND OF ENJOYED BEING THERE AND, YOU KNOW, FIND OUT WHAT WORKS FOR THEM AND IT'S, UH, WE'VE HAD A LOT OF TROUBLE WITH PEOPLE CAMPING OUT AND MOVING IN.
UM, SIR, CAN YOU SPEAK INTO THE MICROPHONE PLEASE? I'M, THANK YOU.
WE'VE HAD A LOT OF TROUBLE WITH PEOPLE MOVING ONTO THAT LOT AND TRYING TO KEEP THEM OFF WITHOUT TEARING THINGS UP.
I MEAN, LIKE A LOT OF COST AND A LOT OF TROUBLE.
[02:10:01]
AND THAT'S JUST GONNA KEEP GOING ON IF, IF WE, YOU KNOW, CAN'T MAKE SOME IMPROVEMENT HERE.UM, ANY OTHER QUESTIONS OR, UH, NO.
SO, UH, WHEN YOU'RE READY, MR. CHAIR, I'LL MAKE A MOTION.
ANY QUESTIONS? COMMISSIONERS ON MY LEFT? YES.
COMMISSIONER ORTIZ, MAKE A QUESTION FOR THE APPLICANT.
UM, DO ANY, DO YOU DON'T HAVE AN, UH, KIND OF AN IDEA PLAN, LIKE MAYBE IT'S LIKE A SIGNED PLAT SITE PLAN AND YOU CAN DRAW UP OR SKETCH MAYBE FOR THE NEXT, IF THERE IS ANOTHER, UH, SESSION OR HEARING FOR YOU TO MAYBE PROVIDE SO THAT YOU CAN ACTUALLY SHOW YOUR NEIGHBORS TO KIND OF HAVE A BETTER IDEA OF WHAT YOU'RE TRYING TO DO WITH THE OKAY.
AND TO SOME DEGREE THERE'S A LOT OF UNKNOWN.
WE DON'T ACTUALLY KNOW WHAT WE WANNA DO.
I'M A'S BEEN A CONTRACTOR FOR 45 YEARS, KIND OF BEEN ON THE BUCKET LIST TO RESTORE SOME OLD BUILDING, NEEDED SOME HELP.
AND THIS IS THE OLD MEAT LOCKER, THE BLUE, OTHERWISE KNOWN AS THE BLUE BONNET.
THAT IS AN INTERESTING OLD BUILDING THAT I'D LIKE TO KEEP ITS CHARACTER AND DO WHATEVER THE NEIGHBORHOOD WOULD LIKE.
I MEAN, I'M, YOU KNOW, THERE'S SOMEBODY GOT BETTER IDEA WHAT TO DO WITH IT.
WE'RE NOT REALLY IN IT EXACTLY FOR THE NICKEL AND UM, YOU KNOW, AND IT'S UH, IT'S KIND OF A TREASURE REALLY.
YEAH, I'M LOOKING AT THE PROPERTY.
SO IT'S SOMETHING YOU WANT TO KIND OF KEEP IN IN THE COMMUNITY, SO I AGREE.
WE HAVE SOME TYPE OF SITE PLAN FOR YOUR NEIGHBORS THAT CAN HAVE AN IDEA AND SUPPORT IT.
WE, YOU KNOW, WE LIKE THE LOOK, WE LIKE THE NEIGHBORHOOD.
INCLUDING THEY WANTED TO BUY IT OR, OR THEY KNEW THE MEAT LOCKER PEOPLE OR, YOU KNOW, WE, WE LIKE THE CHARACTER OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD AND SO WHATEVER IT TAKES, WE'LL GET THERE.
