THAT'S WHY THEY, THEY SAY NO TO IT UNLESS, UH, THERE IS AN OVERWHELMING SENTIMENT FROM THE, YOU ARE LOCAL ELECTED REPRESENTATIVES HERE.
SO I WOULD ASK YOU TO PLEASE CON RECONSIDER THAT, SIR, AND SAY, SAY NO TO THE ITEM NUMBER TWO.
NEXT, UH, MS. FREDERICA KUSHNER.
UH, MY NAME IS FREDERICA KUSHNER.
I LIVE AT 4 0 5 EAST MYRTLE STREET, UH, AT 7 8 2 1 2 IN TOBIN HILL.
TODAY I SPEAK FOR THE TOBIN HILL COMMUNITY ASSOCIATION.
THIS STATEMENT CONCERNS ITEM NUMBER THREE, A REQUEST FOR CHANGE IN ZONING AT 3 1 2 WEST CORTLAND PLACE.
THIS BUILDING, ALSO KNOWN AS THE HUGHES HOUSE, HAS BEEN RECOGNIZED AS HISTORICALLY SIGNIFICANT BY THE HISTORIC AND DESIGN REVIEW COMMISSION OF THE OFFICE OF HISTORIC PRESERVATION.
AND BY THE ZONING COMMISSION, IT MEETS SEVERAL CRITERIA FOR SIGNIFICANCE, INCLUDING ITS ARCHITECTURAL HISTORY AND CONTRIBUTION TO THE CULTURE AND SOCIAL FABRIC OF THE CITY.
WE BELIEVE THAT THE PRESENT OWNERS SHARE OUR APPRECIATION OF THE ARCHITECTURE, HISTORY, AND SOCIAL AND CULTURAL SIGNIFICANCE OF THIS BUILDING AND ITS VALUE, UH, TO OUR NEIGHBORHOOD.
WITH THIS IN MIND, THE TOBIN HILL COMMUNITY ASSOCIATION ASKED THE COUNCIL TO APPROVE THE REQUEST FOR ZONING CHANGE OF THE HUGHES HOUSE TO I D Z ONE WITH A DESIGNATION OF HISTORIC LANDMARK.
WE THANK O H P STAFF, THE HISTORIC AND DESIGN REVIEW COMMISSION, AND THE ZONING COMMISSION AND STAFF FOR THEIR WORK ON THIS REQUEST.
WE ALSO THANK THE CONSERVATION SOCIETY AND ESPECIALLY MICHAEL CARROLL FOR THEIR HELP IN SAVING THIS LANDMARK.
AND FINALLY, WE THANK THE CITY COUNCIL FOR THEIR CONSIDERATION OF THIS CASE.
AND, UM, THE LAST PERSON WE HAVE SIGNED UP ON CONSENT IS KAREN WILLIAMS. GOOD AFTERNOON.
MY NAME IS KAREN WILLIAMS. MY NEIGHBORS AND I, UM, KNOW THAT IMPACT DEVELOPERS, UM, ARE ANXIOUS TO CLOSE OUT THIS CASE.
THE HOMES ON CARDINAL LANE AND HOMES ON COPPERFIELD ROAD THAT RECEIVE LETTERS REGARDING THE ZONE CHANGE.
WE'RE ALL IN OPPOSITION OF THE ZONE CHANGE.
SOME OF THESE HOMEOWNERS WERE AVAILABLE TO MEET WITH MR. HERMAN CARDENAS, THE C E O AND OWNER OF IMPACT DEVELOPERS, HIS ATTORNEY AND REPRESENTATIVE, MS. ASHLEY FAIRMONT, AND THE IMPACT DEVELOPERS, DRAINAGE ENGINEERS.
AFTER THE MEETING ON FEBRUARY 23RD, THE OAK CREEK ESTATE HOMEOWNERS INVOLVED IN THE ZONE CHANGE ARE NO LONGER IN OPPOSITION.
I JUST WANTED TO JUST, UH, STATE THIS PUBLICLY.
WE HAVE COME TO AN UNDERSTANDING WITH HERMAN CARDENAS IN WHICH TO ALLOW HIM TO MOVE FORWARD WITH THE ZONE CHANGE FROM SINGLE SELF STORAGE
[00:10:01]
TO MULTIFAMILY, AND BE ABLE TO START HIS PROJECT, UH, FOR THE GREEN GATE VILLAGE.MR. CARDENA ADDRESSED OUR CONCERNS OF THE DRAINAGE, FENCING, SECURITY, AND LIGHTING THAT WE FELT MIGHT IMPACT OUR HOMES.
WE ARE TAKING MR. CARDENAS WORD FOR ALL THAT WAS SAID, SHARED, SHOWN, AND DESCRIBED DURING THE MEETING, WHILE DISCUSSING THE OVERVIEW OF THE GREENGATE VILLAGE PROJECT AND WORD SHARED AFTER THE MEETING.
WE WISH HIM THE BEST AND TURNING THE GREENGATE LUXURY VILLAGE DREAM PROJECT INTO REALITY.

WE WISH TO THANK EVERYONE INVOLVED IN VARIOUS WAYS.
UM, THE COUNCIL, THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME AND OUR DISTRICT.
I THINK SHE'S MISSING MISS, UH, UH, MELISSA CAB HARTA FOR THE SINCERE ASSISTANCE THAT WAS BESTOWED UPON MYSELF AND THE HOMEOWNERS INVOLVED WITH THIS ZONE CHANGE.
WE DID FEEL SEEN AND WE FELT HEARD, WHICH WAS IN, WHICH WAS, UM, IMPORTANT TO ALL OF US.
SO AGAIN, THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME.
IS THERE ANY COUNCIL DISCUSSION ON ITEMS ON THE CONSENT AGENDA? UH, COUNCILMAN BRAVO.
UM, ON ITEM 3, 3 12 WEST CORTLAND PLACE.
I'M HAPPY, HAPPY TO FINALLY HAVE THIS CASE COME BEFORE COUNSEL.
AS MANY OF YOU KNOW, UM, LAST YEAR, THIS PROPERTY WAS OWNED BY THE ARCHDIOCESE OF SAN ANTONIO AND THEY PLANNED TO DEMOLISH THIS HOME.
AND THEY KNEW THAT A CHURCH COULD DEMOLISH IT, BUT THE ANYBODY PURCHASING IT WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO.
SO THEY WERE GONNA DEMOLISH IT BEFORE IT COULD ACTUALLY, BEFORE SOMEONE WOULD PURCHASE IT, AND THEN THEY COULD DO WHATEVER THEY WERE GOING TO THERE.
UM, I KNOW MY OFFICE TRIED TO MEET WITH THEM AND THAT MEETING DID NOT GO WELL.
AND, UM, BUT WE DIDN'T GIVE UP.
AND, UM, YOU KNOW, I WANT TO THANK, UH, RICKY KUSHNER AND, UH, THE TOBIN HILL COMMUNITY ASSOCIATION.
UH, I WANT TO THANK VINCE AND THE CONSERVATION SOCIETY OF SAN ANTONIO FOR ALL OF YOUR HARD WORK TO SAVE THAT HOUSE.
UM, IT'S, THE HOUSE WAS IN GREAT CONDITION AND IT IS A HISTORIC HOUSE.
AND, UM, I ALSO WANT TO THANK MACHU AND ANDREW WEISSMAN FOR PURCHASING THE PROPERTY AND FOR THEIR FLEXIBILITY AND PATIENCE IN WORKING THROUGH THIS REZONING CASE AND FOR SUPPORTING OF THE DESIGNATION OF THIS HOME.
UM, THIS IS A TREASURE AND IN TOBIN HILL, AND SO I WISH THEM, UH, ALL THE BEST IN THEIR NEW VENTURE WITH THE HUGHES HOUSE.

UM, THERE WAS A COMMUNITY MEETING ON IT LAST NIGHT.
THERE WERE SEVERAL PEOPLE WHO ARE OPPOSED TO IT.
UM, BUT, BUT, UM, SINCE THAT MEETING, THERE'S BEEN ADDITIONAL NEGOTIATION AND, UM, YOU KNOW, NO ALCOHOL WILL BE SOLD.
JACK, YOU'LL BE HAPPY TO HEAR UNTIL AFTER THE SCHOOL CLOSES EACH DAY ON WEEKDAYS.

THERE HAVE BEEN QUESTIONS ABOUT ACCESS TO THE PROPERTY, UH, AND THAT IS SOMETHING THAT WE'RE WORKING THROUGH AND WE'RE CONTINUING TO LOOK AT ALL OPTIONS FOR THAT, AND THAT WILL REQUIRE CONTINUED COMMUNITY OUTREACH.
UM, THIS IS A, UM, PROJECT IN DISTRICT THREE.
UM, AND I'M PLEASED TO SAY THAT THEY, UH, ARE AMENABLE TO ALTERNATIVE ACCESS POINTS, UH, CORRECT ASHLEY.
AND, UH, WE, WE HAVE HEARD FROM A FORMER COUNCILMAN, UH, JENNIFER RAMOS, WHO'S INTERESTED, UH, TO, TO MAKE SURE THAT WE TAKE THIS OUT TO THE PUBLIC, UH, REGARDING THE PARK.

MAR AND COUNSEL.MY NAME IS JACK FINGER AND, UH, THIS PARTICULAR ITEM IS IN DISTRICT THREE MS. UH, VIA GRAND'S DISTRICT.
SHE IS NOT IN HER SEAT AT THIS TIME TO, UH, LEAD THE DELIBERATION ON THIS.
UM, I THINK IT, UH, SHOULD BE DENIED FOR, FOR A NUMBER OF REASONS.
AM I, AM I SAYING SOMETHING WRONG HERE? OH, MY, MY, MY GOD.
I
YOU'RE, YOU'RE THE MAYOR PRO TIM.
I'LL, I'LL STAND CORRECTED ON THAT ONE THEN.
WELL ANYWAY, MS. VILLAGRANDE, I WISH YOU WOULD SAY NO TO THIS ONE.
WHY? WELL, THIS IS ABOUT A TRAILER PARK.
YOU SAY, WELL, JACK, WE WE NEED TRAILER PARKS AROUND TOWN.
UH, I DO KNOW THAT THE STAFF THOUGHT IT WAS A BAD IDEA.
AND, UH, THE REASON WHY IS BECAUSE, UH, WELL, EVEN PEOPLE WHO LIVE IN TRAILER PARKS, THEY SHOULDN'T HAVE TO PUT UP WITH SOME, UH, NUISANCES AROUND WHERE THEY LIVE.
AND, UH, THIS ONE IS THE, UH, UM, ABOUT THE, THE, THE INDUSTRIAL, UH, LOCATIONS JUST, JUST PRACTICALLY NEARBY THERE.
YEAH, I I'M JUST QUOTING HERE.
IT SAYS, NEW RESIDENCES DIS ARE DISCOURAGED.
JUST IN FACT, THERE'S ANOTHER REASON WHY NEW RESIDENCES ARE DISCOURAGED JUST NORTH OF STINSON AIRPORT.
THIS IS RIGHT NEXT TO THE AIRPORT.
UH, APPARENTLY, I MEAN, WE, WE, YOU KNOW, WHERE PLANES COME GLIDING RIGHT IN.
IF, UH, ONE OF 'EM MADE A MISTAKE AND DECIDED TO CRASH SOMEWHERE, YOU, YOU REALLY WOULDN'T WANNA PUT IT TO
BUT THE, YEAH, THE, UH, THE RESIDENTS WOULD HAVE TO PUT UP WITH, UH, LIVE WITH THE, THE NOR THE NUISANCES OF, OF THE INDUSTRIAL LOCATIONS AROUND THERE.
IT'S JUST REALLY NOT COMPATIBLE IN THE WORDS OF THE ZONING STAFF.
SO, AND YOU HAVE, AND YOU HAVE AS MANY AS WELL, HOW MANY, NEARLY 300 UNITS ON THIS ONE? NEARLY 300 HERE.
WELL, UM, MS. RIO GRAND, ONCE AGAIN, MS. MADAM PREPARE MAYOR PRO TEM.
I WOULD APPRECIATE IF YOU WOULD SAY NO TO THIS ONE.
UH, I WANNA THANK THE APPLICANT FOR CONDUCTING THEIR OUTREACH AND MEETING WITH THE HARLAND DALE MCCULLUM NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATION MULTIPLE TIMES AS PER MY REQUEST.
AND I BELIEVE THEY, UH, ENTERED A LETTER OF SUPPORT INTO THE RECORD.
SO AT THIS TIME, IF THERE'S NO, UH, FURTHER DISCUSSION BY MY COUNCIL COLLEAGUES, CAN I GET A MOTION, MOTION TO APPROVE? SECOND.
WE HAVE A MOTION IN A SECOND, AND WE'LL TAKE A VO, A VO, A VOICE VOTE.
ALL THOSE OPPOSED? MOTION CARRIES.
THIS IS AMENDING THE STENSON AIRPORT VICINITY PLAN FROM MIXED USE AND LOW DENSITY RESIDENTIAL TO MIXED USE FROM C TWO AND R FORD, A C TWO CD WITH A CONDITIONAL USE FOR CAR WASH, GENERALLY LOCATED IN THE 5,000 BLOCK OF ROOSEVELT AVENUE.
STAFF PLANNING, PLANNING COMMISSION AND ZONING COMMISSION RECOMMEND APPROVAL WITH CONDITIONS DOWNWARD FACING LIGHTING DIRECTED AWAY FROM RESIDENTIAL ZONING AND USES 33 NOTICES MELDED ONE IN FAVOR, ZERO OPPOSED VIA CORONADO NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATION IS IN SUPPORT LOMA MESA RESIDENTIAL COMMUNITY, UH, IS OPPOSED.
ALL RIGHT, WE HAVE CITIZENS SIGNED UP.
FINGER AND YES, UH, THIS IS IN YOUR DISTRICT HERE? YES.
UM, I, UH, THE REASON I LOOKED AT THIS IS BECAUSE THE, THE LOMA MESA RESIDENTIAL COMMUNITY OPPOSED IT.
I COULD BE BECAUSE THIS CAR WASH BEING PROPOSED IS IT BUTTS JUST RIGHT UP AGAINST THEIR RESIDENCES.
NOW I'VE BEEN TOLD THAT THEY WOULD INTEND TO, THEY MADE A COMPROMISE WITH, UH, SOME OF THE NOISES, THE VACUUMS BEING PLACED FURTHER DOWN THERE, BUT, UH, ELSEWHERE.
[00:25:01]
REMAINS THIS, THIS IS RIGHT, UH, NEXT TO THE RESIDENCES AND, UM, THEY DIDN'T WANT IT.AND, YOU KNOW, THEY ARE THE ONES WHO HAVE TO LIVE WITH THIS ONE.
SO, UM, AND THEY'LL HAVE TO LIVE WITH IT FOR A LONG, LONG TIME.
UH, MAYOR PRO TEM, UH, VIA GRANT, LET'S GET THAT, THAT STRAIGHT, UH, TITLE STRAIGHT THERE.
MY, MY APOLOGIES FOR OVERLOOKING THAT EARLIER.
AND, UH, ONCE AGAIN, MS. CASTRO, WE WELCOME YOU TO, TO THE COUNCIL.
BEAR IN MIND YOU HAVE A SINGLE VOTE ON EVERY ONE OF THESE, THESE, UH, THESE CASES.
AND YOU CAN, YOU CAN SAY NO TO IT ANYTIME YOU WANT AS WELL.
MY NAME IS MONICA DWAY AND I'M A RESIDENT OF THE LOMA MESA, UM, COMMUNITY.
I LIVE AT 9 3 0 2, WHICH IS THE RESIDENCE ESSENTIALLY RIGHT BEHIND THE CAR WASH.
SO I'M HERE TO OPPOSE THE REQUEST FOR THE ZONE CHANGE BASED ON THREE FACTORS AND THAT BEING NOISE TRAFFIC AND THE JUSTIFICATION FOR THE CHANGE.
SO IN REGARDING TO THE NOISE, OUR HOMES ARE KB HOMES AND THEY HAVE VERY, VERY THIN WALLS.
UNFORTUNATELY, THERE ARE A COUPLE ILLEGAL VENDORS THAT ARE SET UP IN THE FIELDS BEHIND THE HOUSE AND ACROSS ROOSEVELT THAT WE CAN HEAR THE NOISE, THEIR MUSIC INSIDE OF MY BEDROOM WINDOW, WHICH ABUTS RIGHT UP AGAINST THAT CAR WASH.
NOT BECAUSE THE MUSIC'S BEING PLAYED VERY, VERY LOUDLY, IT'S JUST HOW THE SOUND DRIFTS THROUGH THAT CORRIDOR AND ALSO HOW THIN OUR WALLS ARE.
SO THIS CAR WASH BEING RIGHT BEHIND MY HOME, I'M GOING TO HEAR IT EVERY MORNING STARTING AT 7:00 AM EVERY MORNING, EVERY WEEKDAY, EVERY HOLIDAY, EVERY WEEKEND, EVERY DAY OFF 7:00 AM THAT CAR WATCH IS GONNA BE GOING.
I KNOW THERE'S BEEN SOME CONCESSIONS MADE REGARDING THE NOISE, AN EIGHT FOOT PRIVACY FENCE, BUT OUR HOMES ARE NOT EIGHT FOOT HIGH.
MY RESIDENCE IS TWO STORIES HIGH, WHICH IS GONNA BE OVER THAT EIGHT FOOT SOUND BARRIER.
ADDITIONALLY, TRAFFIC ON ON ROOSEVELT IS HORRIBLE.
THERE HAVE BEEN STUDIES DONE BY THE CITY THAT STATE THAT THERE'S NOT A STOP OR STOP SIGN.
TRAFFIC LIGHT JUSTIFIED FOR THAT AREA.
BUT DUE TO THE ILLEGAL STREET VENDORS THAT ARE ON THAT STREET, IT'S CREATED CHAOS WITH PEOPLE DOING U-TURNS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD.
PEDESTRIANS CUTTING ACROSS THE ROAD.
AND I KNOW WE'RE NOT HERE TO TALK ABOUT THAT, BUT I WANT YOU TO SEE A VISION OF THE TRAFFIC IN THIS AREA AND BRINGING THIS CAR WASH HAS HIGH TRAFFIC AND IT'S NOT ON ROOSEVELT.
THE ENTRANCE TO THIS CAR WASH IS ACTUALLY ON THE LITTLE PRIVATE ROAD CONNECTING ROOSEVELT TO MY NEIGHBORHOOD.
SO THERE'S NOT ACTUAL ENTRANCE FROM THE MAIN ROAD, WHICH MEANS THAT TRAFFIC IS GONNA GET BACKED UP ON THAT LITTLE PRIVATE ROAD, WHICH I'M NOT EVEN ALLOWED TO PARK ON THAT ROAD, WHICH IS RIGHT NEXT TO MY HOUSE, FIVE FEET FROM MY FRONT DOOR.
BECAUSE BY LAW, TWO LANES HAVE TO BE GOING FLUID IN EITHER DIRECTION IN CASE OF EMERGENCY.
SO IF WE HAVE BACKUP OF TRAFFIC FOR THIS CAR WASH, THAT GOES AGAINST THE JUSTIFICATION FOR LEGALLY HAVING FLUIDITY BOTH WAYS.
AND LASTLY, THE CAR WASHES THAT I'VE SEEN, THERE'S A CAR WASH A COUPLE MILES DOWN THE ROAD FROM OUR HOUSE AND IT'S RIGHT IN BETWEEN A BANK, A RESTAURANT, A WALMART, AND A CEMETERY BEHIND IT.
I'VE NEVER SEEN A CAR WASH IN MY EXPERIENCE AND I'VE BEEN KEEPING THE EYE OUT ON THEM RECENTLY DUE TO THE ZONING RECOMMENDATION.
AND THEY'RE ALWAYS IN HIGH RETAIL AREAS, NOT DIRECTLY BEHIND A RESIDENTIAL AREA.
SO I DO ASK THAT YOU OPPOSE THIS.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR YOUR TIME.
UH, NEXT ED FIVE IS ED FIVE HERE.
ALRIGHT, I WANNA, I WANNA THANK THE APPLICANT FOR, UH, INCLUDING THE AMENDMENTS AND THE RESIDENTS FROM LOMA MESA, H O A FOR REACHING OUT TO MY OFFICE ON THIS CASE.
UM, ROOSEVELT IS A PROBLEM AND THAT'S ANOTHER THING THAT WE NEED TO ADDRESS, BUT, SO IF THERE'S NO FURTHER DISCUSSION, I WILL ENTERTAIN A MOTION.
ALL RIGHT, SO THERE'S A MOTION AND A SECOND TO APPROVE WITH CONDITIONS ON ITEM NUMBER 1213.
UH, IS THERE ANY COUNCIL DISCUSSION? IF THERE'S NO COUNCIL DISCUSSION, WE'LL TAKE A VOICE VOTE.
UH, ALL THOSE IN FAVOR, ALL THOSE OPPOSED.
THAT'S ALL THE ITEMS FOR TODAY'S ZONING AND LAND
[00:30:01]
USE SESSION.THE TIME IS TWO 30 AND THE MEETING IS NOW ADJOURNED.
