UM, ONE IN SUPPORT OUTSIDE 200 FEET, ONE IN OPPOSITION OUTSIDE 200 FEET.
THE EXISTING M MF 18 LIMITED DENSITY MULTIFAMILY DISTRICT IS AN APPROPRIATE ZONING FOR THE PROPERTY AND SURROUNDING AREA.
THE CURRENT ZONING ALLOWS FOR MULTIFAMILY UNITS AT A DENSITY APPROPRIATE AND MANAGEABLE FOR THE SURROUNDING INFRASTRUCTURE AND PROPERTIES.
THE PROPOSED I D Z THREE HIGH INTENSITY AND FILL DEVELOPMENT ZONE DISTRICT WITH USES PERMITTED FOR 92 DWELLING UNITS IS NOT AN APPROPRIATE PROPERTY FOR THE ZONING FOR THE PROPERTY AND SURROUNDING AREA.
IT INTRODUCES DENSITY THAT IS OUT OF CHARACTER FOR THE NEIGHBORHOOD AND SURROUNDING AREA.
THE MF THE EXISTING MF 18 ALLOWS UP TO 22 UNITS.

UH, SO OUR ORIGINAL I D Z REQUEST, UM, WAS FOR 92 UNITS IN A TRADITIONAL APARTMENT DEVELOPMENT.
UM, WE HAVE BEEN MEETING FOR SEVERAL MONTHS, UM, WITH NEARBY RESIDENTS AND COMMUNITY MEMBERS ON THIS REQUEST.
UM, WHILE DENSITY WAS A BIT OF A CONCERN, THE HEIGHT OF THE DEVELOPMENT WAS, WAS A PRIMARY CONCERN.
UM, AND SO WE HAVE REVISED OUR PROJECT AND OUR REQUEST, UM, TO REDUCE OUR DENSITY.
UH, TO 50 UNITS TOTAL FROM 92, SO REMOVAL OF 42 TOTAL UNITS, UM, AND PROPOSING TO BREAK THEM DOWN INTO MORE TRADITIONAL TOWN STONE, HOT TOWN HOME STYLE UNITS.

I'M CALLING IN AN OPPOSITION TO AGENDA ITEM SIX.
UH, THIS DOESN'T FIT THE MIDTOWN PLAN.
UH, NOTHING HAS CHANGED SIGNIFICANTLY IN THIS AREA SINCE THAT PLAN WAS MADE JUST A FEW YEARS AGO.
THE GRAY STREET PARTNER DEVELOPMENT THAT HAS, UH, IT WAS, THAT WAS THEIR FORMER PROPERTY THAT THE BANKS, UM, UH, NONE OF THAT DEVELOPMENT WAS UNKNOWN.
AND SO THIS, UH, PLAN SHOULD NOT BE CHANGED AS SIGNIFICANTLY.
THIS DENSITY IS, IS TOO HIGH FOR THE SURROUNDING PROPERTIES AND THIS, UH, NEEDS TO BE RECOMMENDED FOR DENIAL.
UM, IF THE APPLICANT WOULD ONE SHORT, NO, NO REBUTTAL.
UM, UNFORTUNATELY, UH, COMMISSIONER WATSON IS NOT WITH US, SO, AND COMMISSIONER ALIA HOLLAND IS NEITHER.
SO I GUESS, I GUESS THAT LEAVES IT TO ME.
SO, UH, QUESTIONS, UM, I HAVE A QUESTION OF STAFF.
UM, THE ORIGINAL STAFF RECOMMENDATION WAS FOR DENIAL WITH THE CHANGE, WOULD, WOULD STAFF BE OKAY WITH THE, THE AMENDED CHANGE? IT DOESN'T CHANGE, CHANGE THE REQUEST FOR US BECAUSE THE M F 18 WE FEEL IS APPROPRIATE AND THE M F 18 WOULD ALLOW UP TO 22 UNITS AS IT IS.

UM, WHAT'S OPEN TO OTHER COMMISSIONERS FOR QUESTIONS? NONE ON MY RIGHT OR MY LEFT.
SORRY, I'M GETTING MIXED UP STILL.
QUESTIONS? COMMISSIONERS ON MY RIGHT.

UM, EMILY HAS BEEN WORKING VERY CLOSELY WITH COMMISSIONER WATSON ON THIS CASE.
SHE WAS AWARE THAT WE WERE TRYING TO MOVE FORWARD TODAY.
UM, AND EMILY DID MENTION THE COMMUNITY MEETING.
SO WHAT THEY'RE TRYING TO DO IS HOST A LARGER COMMUNITY MEETING.
THERE HAVE BEEN A LOT OF MEETINGS WITH NEIGHBORS NEARBY, UM, GOVERNMENT HILL THROUGHOUT THIS PROCESS, BUT THIS WOULD GIVE EVERYBODY ANOTHER OPPORTUNITY TO WEIGH IN BEFORE COUNCIL.
THANK YOU MS. FAIRMAN STAFF, IF YOU WOULD REMIND ME IF WE PUSH THIS TWO WEEKS, THAT WOULD THEN PUT IT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE JULY BREAK, AND THIS CASE WILL BE TAKEN UP IN AUGUST, IS THAT CORRECT? THAT'S CORRECT.
AND, AND, AND, AND FORTUNATELY, FORTUNATELY, WHILE YOU WERE ASKING QUESTIONS, WE WERE COMMUNICATING WITH, UH, COMMISSIONER WATSON AS WELL VIA EMAIL.
UM, COMMISSIONER NICKS, YOU HAD QUESTIONS? YOU SAID YOU HAD SOME COMMUNICATION WITH MR. WATSON? YES, WE HAVE JUST HAD COMMUNICATION, UH, WE HAD BEFORE THE MEETING AND THEN AS WE WERE DELAYING TALKING.
UM, AND SO, SO I, I, I FEEL COMFORTABLE MAKING A MOTION IF, IF YOU DON'T HAVE ANY QUESTION, WELL, IF YOU DON'T, I WANTED TO MAKE ONE TO LET THIS MOVE ON.
IS RECOMMEND, UH, THAT THIS BE DENIED AT THIS POINT? OH, DENIED AT THIS POINT.

SECOND BY COMMISSIONER GREATHOUSE DISCUSSION, LOOKING LEFT.
IF WE COULD HAVE A ROLL CALL VOTE SHARE.
WOULD YOU SHARE WITH US WHAT, UH, COMMISSIONER WATSON SHARED WITH YOU? YEAH, I THINK IT BEGINS WITH, UH, CHAIR AND COMMISSIONER GREATHOUSE.
UM, NO, IT SAYS, UH, SHE SAYS, UM, UH, THE NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATION SUPPORTS, UH, SOME RESIDENTS SUPPORT THE ORIGINAL PLAN, CLOSEST PROPERTY OWNERS.
THAT'S WHAT THE ABBREVIATION IS FOR.
I'M RECOMMENDING SUPPORT BASED ON PLAN ENGAGEMENT AND PLAN AMENDMENT AND COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT.
THE SURROUNDING PROPERTIES ARE MF 33.
IT FITS PATTERN OF MORE MEDIUM DENSITY RESIDENTIAL IN THE AREA.
AND SHE ACTUALLY DIDN'T GIVE ME COMPLIMENTS, BUT THAT'S FINE.
ITEM NUMBER SEVEN I BELIEVE IS NEXT.
MY NAME IS ADOLFO GONZALEZ, ZONING PLANNER WITH DEVELOPMENT SERVICES.
ITEM NUMBER SEVEN IS LOCATED AT FOUR 11 EAST EVERGREEN.
GOING FROM R SIX TO I D C TWO WITH USES PERMITTED FOR MF 25 LOAD DENSITY AND MULTI-FAMILY WITHOUT OVERLAYS.
THERE WERE 26 NOTICES SENT OUT.
TOBIN HILL NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATION IS OPPOSED AND THERE ARE THREE OPPOSED OUTSIDE 200 FEET.
THE EXISTING R SIX RESIDENTIAL SINGLE FAMILY DISTRICT IS AN APPROPRIATE ZONING FOR THE PROPERTY AND SURROUNDING AREA.
THE PROPOSED I D Z TWO MEDIUM INTENSITY INFO DEVELOPMENT ZONE WITH USES PERMITTED FOR MF 25 IS NOT AN APPROPRIATE ZONING FOR THE PROPERTY.
THE PROPERTY ABUTS OTHER PROPERTIES ZONED R SIX AND MF 33, BUT THE INTENSITY OF THE I D C TWO IS SLIGHTLY TOO MUCH.
THEREFORE STAFF RECOMMENDS I D Z ONE LIMITED INTENSITY INFILL DEVELOPMENT WITH USES PERMITTED FOR FIVE DWELLING UNITS AS OPPOSED TO THE SEVEN DWELLING UNITS THE IDZ TWO WOULD PERMIT.
THE APPLICANT HAS INDICATED THERE WILL BE AMENDING THE REQUEST TO STAFF'S RECOMMENDATION.
THE APPLICANT ALSO INTENDS ON UTILIZING THE EXISTING STRUCTURES ON THE PROPERTY AND IS PROVIDING ONSITE PARKING FOR RESIDENTS.
THE PROJECT IS BOUND TO A PRESCRIBED SITE PLAN WHERE MAJOR SITE PLAN CHANGES CANNOT BE MADE WITHOUT REQUESTING ANOTHER REZONING.
THE REZONING SUPPORTS THE CITY'S STRATEGIC HOUSING IMPLEMENTATION PLAN FOR DIVERSE HOUSING.
OPTIONS FOR GROWING POPULATION NEEDS.
STAFF DOES NOT FIND EVIDENCE OF LIKELY, LIKELY ADD 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 IN TERMS OF RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT.
HOWEVER, THE DENSITY OF THE IDC TWO MEDIUM INTENSITY INFO IS NOT APPROPRIATE.
STAFF RECOMMENDS DENIAL WITH AN ALTERNATE RECOMMENDATION FOR IDC ONE LIMITED INTENSITY INFO DEVELOPMENT WITH USES PERMITTED FOR FIVE DWELLING UNITS AND THE APPLICANT IS HERE TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS.
IF WE CAN HAVE THE APPLICANT PLEASE.
HI, GOOD AFTERNOON CHAIR COMMISSIONERS.
MY NAME IS LARISSA, SO OWNER OF G M A M L L C.
THANK YOU FOR HEARING ME TODAY.
BEFORE I BEGIN, I WANT YOU TO KNOW THAT THIS PROPERTY, PROPERTY MEETS ALL THE CITY REQUIREMENTS AND I'M HERE FOR THE FOLLOWING REASONS.
DURING STATE, THE ZONING CHANGE HAS A MULTIFAMILY OF MY PROPERTY TO INFORM YOU THAT I PLAN TO REMODEL THIS PROPERTY WITHOUT MODIFYING THE EXTERNAL STRUCTURE AND HISTORICAL CODE DESIGN.
AND TO CLARIFY SOME MISUNDERSTANDINGS ABOUT THE PROJECT IF THOSE EXIST.
IT'S VERY IMPORTANT TO ME TO FOLLOW THE RULES AND REGULATIONS.
I MOVED HERE BECAUSE I DECIDED TO STORY MY LEGAL MASTER IN AMERICAN LEGAL SYSTEM AT ST.
MARY UNIVERSITY CONCERNING MY ASIAN EXPENSES, FINDING AN AFFORDABLE LIVING PLACE WAS CHALLENGING.
I FELL IN LOVE WITH THE ATMOSPHERE OF THE CITY, THE ACTIVITIES AND THE PEOPLE.
[00:45:01]
SO I DECIDE TO INVEST AND STAY HERE INSTEAD OF MY OTHER OPTIONS.I WOULD LOVE TO INCENTIVIZE PROMOT AND HELPED TO OTHER STUDENTS IN THE SAME SITUATION.
HOSPITAL EMPLOYEES, PATIENTS, FAMILIES, AND EVERYONE WHO NEEDS AN AFFORDABLE PLACE TO STAY.
I'M HERE TO HELP TO PROVIDE AFFORDABLE HOUSES IN SAN ANTONIO.
ONE OF THE REASONS WHY I WAS ATTRACTED TO TOBAN HILL WAS BECAUSE IT'S WALKABLE AND I'M PLANNING TO WALK REDUCING STRICT TRAFFIC AND PROVIDAL SOCIAL BENEFITS.
JEREMY SUPPORTS THE CITY'S STRATEGIC HOUSING IMPLEMENTATION PLAN FOR DIVERSE HOUSING OPTIONS FOR GROWING POPULATION NEEDS.
UM, THE PROPER IS IN A POOR CONDITION AND I WANT TO REMODEL TO MAKE IT SAFER AND BETTER LOOKING FOUR IS EVERGREEN IS HOW THAT NEEDS SIGNIFICANT.
MOST PEOPLE I SPOKE WITH WERE HAPPY TO SEE A RENOVATE AREA INSTEAD OF HAVING HOMELESS LIVING THERE.
NEXT ONE, I'M PLANNING TO LIVE IN ONE OF THE FIVE UNITS I PROPOSED.
NEXT ONE, WE PLAN MINOR CHANGES TO THE EXTERIOR, KEEPING THE SAME STRUCTURE AND THE SIGN.
THE HOUSE CAN SUPPORT MORE THAN SIX PARKING SPACES IS MORE THAN THE FOUR REQUIRED PARKING SPACES BY THE CITY REGULATIONS FOR FIVE UNITS.
IN ADDITION, I PLAN TO WORK WITH C P SS TO MAKE THE HOUSE MORE, UH, MORE ENERGY EFFICIENT.
YEAH, I PUT A CONSIDERABLE AMOUNT FOR A PROFESSIONAL ANALYSIS APPRAISAL BEFORE INVESTING IN THIS PROPERTY TO CONSIDER THE POSSIBILITY OF BUYING IT AND TO CONFIRM TO CONFIRM THE USE IN THE APARTMENT OF AN APARTMENT BUILDING THE SPECIALIST.
THE SPECIALIST CONFIRMED THE ABILITY OF A MULTI-FAMILY USE BASED ON THE PROPERTIES PHYSICAL CHARACTERISTIC AND THEIR RESEARCH.
AND THEN MENTION IN THE REPORT THAT COULD BE REZONING TO A MULTI-FAMILY.
THE TAX CARD SHOWS THIS PROPERTY USED TO BE IN A SMALL APARTMENT AND THEY USE THESE FOUR APARTMENTS FOR FOUR TO 10 UNITS.
THE RESEARCH ON THE BEHAR PORTAL SHOWS THAT THE LAND IS DESCRIBED AS A COMMERCIAL MULTIFAMILY ALSO.
ALSO, THE WATER SERVICE CHARGE FEES ARE NON RESIDENTIAL LOTS.
THE INFORMATION IS BASED ON THE CITY RECORDS.
I BOUGHT THIS PROPERTY WITH SIX CAST SERVICES THAT I CONSTANTLY TRYING TO HAVE A SAFER PLACE.
AND THERE ARE SIX DIFFERENT ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS AND SERVICES REGISTERED WITH C P S THAT I WOULD LIKE TO KEEP AND RENOVATE COMPLETELY.
THIS PROPERTY DIVIDED INTO SEVEN UNITS WITH A KITCHEN AND AT LEAST ONE BEDROOM IN EACH ONE.
IT WAS A VALID PRESUMPTION BASED ON THE PUBLIC RECORDS, PHYSICAL CHARACTERISTICS, AND THE INFORMATION PROVIDED BY A SPECIALIST THAT THIS PROPERTY'S A MULTIFAMILY.
IN ADDITION, I'M PAYING FOR ALL THE SERVICES, FEES AND TAXES BASED ON A COMMERCIAL MULTI-FAMILY PROPERTY.
THE ACTUAL SITUATION IS AFTER REVIEWING THE REQUIREMENTS TO CHANGE TO A MULTI-FAMILY AT THE DE DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT, I CONFIRMED THE AVAILABILITY WITH AIS SHELL DIRECTOR OF SIGNING AND PLANNING.
I RELIED ON THE EMAIL OF THE DIRECTOR BEFORE SUBMITTING THE APPLICATION.
I MEET WITH THE NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATION AT THE BEGINNING.
THEY WERE HAPPY TO TO THAT SOMEONE TRIED TO GIVE A BETTER IMAGE TO THE NEIGHBOR.
ONCE I SUBMITTED THE APPLICATION AND IT WAS PUBLIC, THEY DENIED AND MENTIONED THAT THEY WERE IN SUPPORT SEVEN UNITS BECAUSE THE BLOCK HAS ZERO STREET PARKING.
EVEN THOUGH I COMPLY WITH THE MUNICIPAL RULES, THAT'S IMPORTANT.
AFTER THAT, I RECEIVED A RECOMMENDATION FROM THE DIRECTOR OF SON AND PLANNING TO AMEND THE INITIAL REQUEST TO FIVE UNITS.
I ACCEPTED I AFTER THIS, THE ASSOCIATION CONTINUED TO OPPOSE THE PROJECT.
THEY DIDN'T SUPPORT THE RECOMMENDATION ARGUING THAT SIX PARKING FOR FIVE UNITS IS INSUFFICIENT.
AFTER THAT I'M RECEIVING CONSTANT VISITS.
THE FIRST ONE WAS FROM THE FIRE DEPARTMENT WITH AN AMBULANCE.
THE SECOND FROM THE DEVELOP DEVELOPMENT SERVICES, DENTAL APARTMENT OF HISTORIC PRESERVATION.
AND THE LAST ONE FROM THE POLICE DEPARTMENT.
A COUPLE TIMES I MEET ALL THE REQUIREMENTS, PERMIT PERMITS BEFORE STORING ANY REMODELING PROCESS.
I FAILED ARREST DUE TO A LARGE NUMBER OF PEOPLE VISITING WHO TRIED TO WATCH THE PROPERTY FROM THE STREET TRYING TO FIND
[00:50:01]
SOMETHING WRONG WITH THIS PROJECT.UH, THAT'S IMPORTANT THAT THEY ASK FOR LIKE THE REMOVAL OF THE ELECTRICAL CONNECTION.
IT IS ESSENTIAL TO MENTION THAT HALF OF THE OPPONENT'S NEIGHBOR PROPERTIES ARE ALREADY DESIGNED AS A MULTIFAMILY AND THEN THEY'RE LIKE THE COMMENTS, UH, OF THE VOICE NOTES THAT THEY SENT.
AND YOU CAN SEE THERE ARE MULTIFAMILY SURROUNDING AREA OF THIS PROPERTY.
AND THEN IF YOU CAN JUST CLICK ON THIS ONE, PLEASE.
HELLO, MY NAME IS RANDALL ROSEN.
I, THE HOUSE IS ON THE 400 BLOCK OF EAST ANDERSON RESIDENCE.
YEAH, THERE, UH, I ASK, I SENT AN EMAIL QUESTION ON WHY THE NEXT DOOR HOUSE OPPONENT WITH A, WITH A MULTIFAMILY RESIDENT ADDED A NEW UNIT WITHOUT THESE REQUIREMENTS.
THEY'RE ASKING TO ME AND THEIR ANSWER FROM THE DIRECTOR DEFERRED FROM THE ASSOCIATION ARGUMENTS.
AND I DON'T KNOW IF YOU CAN JUST NEXT AND THEN YOU CAN SEE THERE THAT THEY HAVE THE PERMIT INCLUDE OFF STREET PARKING AND THEY ARE THE ANOTHER UNIT AND IT'S A MULTI-FAMILY ALSO.
AND THEY TOLD ME THAT THE RESTAURANTING CASE IS CONSIDERED INDIVIDUAL.
MY CONCLUSION, AS YOU CAN SEE, UM, THE INDIVIDUAL SERVICES SHOWS THAT THEY USED TO BE A MULTIFAMILY AND IT'S PAYING TAXES AND SERVICES ACCORDING TO THAT.
I WANT TO GIVE THE FORMULARY NEEDED TO REFLECT THE REALITY OF THE EXISTING INDIVIDUAL UNITS.
I'LL APPRECIATE YOUR HELP AND SUPPORT IN PROTECTING MY INTERESTS.
AND THE SAME CONSIDERATION YOU GAVE TO OTHERS WHO HAVE ALREADY BEEN APPROVED.
I'M ASKING FOR FIVE UNITS, FEWER AND MANY OTHERS.
MULTI-FAMILY PROPERTIES IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD.
I'M NOT ASKING FOR SOMETHING DIFFERENT AND I'M NOT TRYING TO CHANGE THE NEIGHBORHOOD.
I CARE ABOUT THE NEIGHBORHOOD AND I TRY TO MAKE LOOK BETTER.
THIS WILL BE MY HOME AND I'M NOT GOING TO RENT TO PEOPLE THAT I CAN AFFECT ME.
I CARE ABOUT THE PEOPLE AROUND ME AND THE PEOPLE I WILL LIVE WITH.
I WILL BE THERE EVERY DAY AND TAKE CARE OF THEIR PROPERTY.
I PLAN TO MAINTAIN AND PRESERVE THIS AS A COMMUNITY RESIDENT.
THE LINE, THIS, UH, COST ME A LOT.
I'M PAYING A RENT AND I'M PAYING MY MORTAR.
I INVESTED TO START CONSTRUCTION MY FUTURE IN THIS PROPERTY.
AND THIS IS PART OF MY FUTURE LEGACY.
I WOULD LIKE TO CONFIRM THAT I MADE THE RIGHT DECISION IN MOVING, MOVING TO SAN ANTONIO AND INVESTING IN THIS COMMUNITY.
THIS PROCESS HAS BEEN MORE DIFFICULT THAN I IMAGINED.
I WANT SAN ANTONIO TO CONTINUE TO HAVE A GOOD REPUTATION IN THE CITY FOR PROMOTING AFFORDABLE HOUSING PROJECTS.
I TRUST IN THE SYSTEM IS TRANSPARENT AND THE RULES AND REGULATION ARE FAIRLY AND CONSISTENTLY APPLIED.
I SACRIFICE A LOT TO MAKE THIS PROJECT BECOME A REALITY.
I HOPE MY NEIGHBORS IN THE CITY SUPPORT THIS PROJECT TO PROVIDE AFFORDABLE HOUSING TO PRESERVE THE NEIGHBORHOOD'S HISTORIC UH, CHARACTER.
DO WE HAVE ANY PUBLIC COMMENT ON THIS ITEM? NO SIR.
SO TO YOU COMMISSIONER GREATHOUSE FOR QUESTIONS? YEAH, JUST THERE WERE NO VOICEMAILS FOR THIS ITEM.
WHAT DOES THAT MEAN? WERE THERE, WELL, WE HAD VOICEMAILS THE LAST TIME.
THE LAST TIME WE HEARD IT ABOUT A MONTH OR TWO AGO.
'CAUSE THEY WERE HEARD BACK THEN AND WE'RE NOT GONNA REPLAY THEM.
SO NO ONE CALLED AND LEFT A VOICEMAIL FOR TODAY, CORRECT? YES.
UM, YEAH, I HAVE A FEW QUESTIONS FOR STAFF AND FOR THE APPLICANT.
COULD I HAVE YOU COME UP PLEASE AND I'D LIKE TO ASK YOU A FEW QUESTIONS.
UM, HOW MANY BEDROOMS ARE YOU PLANNING PER UNIT? PER UNIT? THEY, I HAVE THE PLAN ON THE PRESENTATION.
THERE'RE LIKE, I THINK IT'S THE NUMBER.
THERE ARE TWO OR, UH, THREE AND ONE'S THE PLAN OF THE UNIT.
SO THE BIGGEST ONE, IT'S A UNIT THAT I'M PLANNING TO LIVE IN AND THERE ARE TWO.
AND THEN THE SECOND BIGGEST ONE, THEY HAVE THREE BEDS AND TWO BEDS.
SO HOW, HOW MANY BEDROOMS TOTAL ARE YOU ANTICIPATING FOR THIS PROJECT? UM, THERE ARE 5, 6, 8 TOTAL BEDROOMS FOR ALL EIGHT TOTAL BEDROOMS, HUH?
[00:55:01]
OH, OKAY.THE, THE FIVE UNITS THAT I'M PLANNING, THERE ARE TWO BEDS IN THE UNIT.
TWO, THREE BED IN UNIT THREE, UNIT FOUR, ONE BED AND UNIT FIVE, TWO BED.
SO A TOTAL OF NINE BEDROOMS? TWO.
AND HOW MANY PARKING SPACES? SIX.
UM, I HAVE QUESTIONS FOR STAFF NOW.
SO IF WE DIDN'T HAVE THE PARKING REQUIREMENTS WAIVED UNDER I D Z, HOW MANY PARKING SPACES WOULD BE REQUIRED? UM, FOR TYPICALLY THE MF PROPERTIES, IT'S 1.5 PER UNIT.
SO SHE'S REQUESTING, UM, FIVE UNITS.
SO THAT 1.5 TIMES FIVE IS 7.5? YES.
SO WE WOULD NEED EIGHT SPACES.
WE'RE ROUNDING UP TO EIGHT SPACES.
AND THEN COULD I GET SOME INFORMATION IF YOU HAVE IT ON THE SURROUNDING PROPERTIES? SURE.
SO FOR, UH, THIS IS FOR STAFF.
UM, SO, UM, SHE MENTIONED 4 0 7 EVERGREEN.
DO WE KNOW WHAT THE U CURRENT USE IS? HOW MANY METERS ARE ON THAT PROPERTY? WELL, IT'S CURRENTLY ZONED MF 33, BUT UM, WE'LL HAVE TO RELY ON GOOGLE FOR WHAT'S THERE NOW.
AND ADOLFO SINCE HE DID THE SITE VISIT.
YEAH, IT, IT'S OWNED MF 33, BUT IT LOOKS LIKE IT'S A SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENCE.
AND THEN WHAT ABOUT, UM, SOME OF THESE OTHER PROPERTIES THAT ARE HERE? BECAUSE I DO NOTE THAT THEY ARE ZONED MF 33, BUT IT LOOKED LIKE MAYBE THE ONES ACROSS THE STREET WHICH WERE, UM, LIKE 4 10, 4 1 4, MAYBE NOT 4 10, 4 1 4, 4 1 8.
THAT THOSE ARE BEING USED AS SINGLE FAMILY AS WELL? YEAH, THOSE ARE ZONED MF 33, BUT THEY'RE USED AS, UH, SINGLE FAMILY.
UH, THE ONE BEHIND 4 0 4, THAT'S MF 33.
AND THOSE ARE ACTUAL APARTMENTS HERE.
THE ONE THAT'S ON 4 0 4, BUT THAT'S, THAT WOULD BE ON A DIFFERENT, THAT'S ON, IT'S ON PARK STREET, BUT IT'S WITHIN THE SAME BLOCK.
UM, I'M GONNA LET MY OTHER COMMISSIONERS, UH, ASK QUESTIONS NOW.
UH, COMMISSIONER BUSTAMONTE, UH, TO THE APPLICANT BRIEFLY, IF YOU COULD, WHEN DID YOU PURCHASE THIS PROPERTY? UH, ON FEBRUARY.
AND DO YOU KNOW, WAS IT OCCUPIED PRIOR TO FEBRUARY PRIOR? YES.
BY HIM, HE WAS THE OWNER? MM-HMM.
ANYONE ELSE? NO, I THINK WITH HER SON.
DO YOU KNOW HOW LONG SHE HAD LIVED THERE WITH HER SON? MM, NO.
STAFF, CAN YOU REMIND ME, UH, IF THERE WAS ANY GRANDFATHERING PRESENT THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN LOST AFTER A YEAR IF IT WASN'T BEING USED IN THAT MANNER? CORRECT.
SO FOR A MULTI, MULTI-UNIT HOUSE, IF THIS WAS IN FACT USED FROM FOUR TO 10 UNITS, ONCE IT'S NOT BEEN USED IN THAT MANNER FOR A YEAR, ANY GRANDFATHERING THAT MAY HAVE EXISTED WOULD EXPIRE FOR IF IT'S ZONED FOR SINGLE FAMILY USE? YES.
ALRIGHT, ANY QUESTIONS? OTHER COMMISSIONERS ON MY LEFT? NONE.
COMMISSIONER, WE THANK YOU MR. CHAIR.
SOYE SHALL SHOWED US A PICTURE OF HOW MANY GAS METERS OR THERE ARE SIX ACTUAL, THERE'S SIX METERS.
I, I, I ASKED FOR THE REMOVAL OF THOSE, LIKE JUST FOR SAFETY REASONS.
BACK TO YOU COMMISSIONER GREATHOUSE.
SO I HAVE ONE ADDITIONAL QUESTION FOR THE APPLICANT.
UM, WOULD YOU BE WILLING TO AMEND YOUR REQUEST FROM FIVE UNITS TO THREE UNITS? I WILL, I CHANGE FROM SEVEN TO FIVE, SO I WOULD LIKE TO HAVE FIVE UNITS.
UM, SO I'LL BE MAKING A MOTION FOR DENIAL FOR ITEM NUMBER SEVEN.
[01:00:05]
UH, GOING ONCE, GOING TWICE SECOND.NO, UH, SECOND IS BY COMMISSIONER BUSTAMONTE.
SO THE REASON THAT I'M MOTIONING FOR DENIAL IS, UM, AGAIN, WE'RE IN A HISTORIC DISTRICT.
LIKE I SEEM TO FEEL LIKE LIVE IN, IN, IN APPEAR ON OUR ZONING CASES.
I DO ACTUALLY LIVE IN A HISTORIC DISTRICT IN REAL LIFE, BUT I FEEL LIKE WE'RE IN HISTORIC DISTRICTS A LOT RIGHT NOW IN MY, IN MY ZONING CASES HERE.
SO WE'RE LOOKING AT THIS CASE WITH HEIGHTENED SCRUTINY UNDER SECTION 35, 3 33, UM, WHICH BASICALLY WE NEED TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE PRESERVING ARCHITECTURAL INTEGRITY, PROMOTING THE GENERAL WELFARE WITH COMPATIBLE LAND USES AND PROVIDING FOR SOLUTIONS FOR SITE PLANNING ISSUES SUCH AS PARKING, LOT SIZE, TRAFFIC, ET CETERA.
AND WE SHOULD CONFORM AS CLOSELY AS POSSIBLE TO THE ESTABLISHED ZONING REGULATIONS AND PROTECT, PROTECT ADJACENT PROPERTIES.
UM, IN THIS CASE, WHILE THE SURROUNDING PROPERTIES ARE ZONED MF 33, THEY ARE MOSTLY BEING USED AS SINGLE FAMILY.
SO I BELIEVE THAT INTRODUCING DENSITY OF FIVE UNITS HERE IS, IS TOO GREAT ON THIS PROPERTY.
AND THEN ONE OF THE BIGGEST ISSUES, HONESTLY, I THINK WITH RESPECT TO HEALTH, SAFETY AND WELFARE AND ALSO DEALING WITH SITE PLANNING ISSUES FOR THIS AREA IS THE FACT THAT WE'RE ON A FAIRLY NARROW STREET THAT IS CLOSE TO THE HOSPITAL AND CLOSE TO SOME OTHER THOROUGHFARES.
AND THIS PROJECT IS NOT PROVIDING ADEQUATE PARKING, UM, WITH THE I D Z WAVING THE, THE REQUIREMENTS FOR PARKING.
UM, AND THE APPLICANT ONLY SHOWING SIX PARKING SPACES FOR FIVE UNITS, AND WE WOULD ACTUALLY NEED EIGHT PARKING SPACES IN ORDER TO COMPLY WITH CODE.
I'M NOT COMFORTABLE MOVING FORWARD WITH FIVE UNITS, WITH ONLY SIX PARKING SPACES WITH THE NUMBER OF BEDROOMS THAT ARE IN EACH OF THESE UNITS.
AND, UM, THOSE ARE THE REASONS FOR MY MOTION FOR DENIAL.
UH, DISCUSSION COMMISSIONERS LOOKING RIGHT, NONE.
COMMISSIONER SUMMER, WOULD YOU ACCEPT AN AMENDMENT FOR FOUR UNITS? WELL, THE MOTION'S FOR DENIAL RIGHT NOW.
SO I DON'T THINK WE COULD DO A POSITIVE AMENDMENT ON THAT.
WE COULDN'T, HE CAN OFFER A FRIENDLY AMENDMENT THAT CAN BE ACCEPTED, BUT IF THE COMMISSIONER THAT MADE THE MOTION DOESN'T WANNA ACCEPT IT, THE MOTION ON THE FLOOR IS FOR DENIAL AND THAT ONE HAS TO BE HEARD.
FIRST, I'D LIKE TO HEAR REASONING BEFORE I ACCEPT ANY AMENDMENTS.
UH, I, I DRIVE THROUGH THAT AREA AND THERE'S A LOT OF SIDE STREETS WITH A LOT OF AVAILABLE SPACE AND THAT AREA IS SURROUNDED BY APARTMENTS.
AND LIKE YOU SAID, UM, WITHIN TWO BLOCKS THERE'S TWO HOSPITALS AND TWO MEDICAL CLINICS.
SO WHO KNOWS, SHE COULD END UP RENTING THAT TO SOME OF THE MEDICAL STAFF THAT DOESN'T NEED TO DRIVE.
UH, SO THERE'S A LOT OF FACTORS, BUT IF YOU LOOK AT THE AERIAL MAP, THE BACK AND THE SIDES ARE ALL APARTMENTS.
SO I'M SURE THEY COULD WORK AT SOME SORT OF AGREEMENT FOR TWO ADDITIONAL PARKING SPACES.
WHAT WAS THE STAFF'S RECOMMENDATION? WHAT WAS THE, WHAT WAS THE ALTERNATE? IT, IT WAS I D Z ONE, UH, FOR FIVE UNITS.
AND THEN WITH THE MF 33, IT'S NOT ZONE MF THREE, R SIX RIGHT NOW, MF 33 WOULDN'T FIT THIS AS A RECOMMENDATION SINCE IT'S ACROSS THE STREET AND THERE.
NO, WE'RE, UM, ALSO STAYING CONSISTENT WITH THE EXISTING LAND USE, WHICH IS URBAN LOW DENSITY RESIDENTIAL.
AND SO THE MAXIMUM THAT THAT'S GONNA ALLOW IS FIVE UNITS.
THANK YOU COMMISSIONER OR COMMISSIONER BUSANTE.
SO, UM, AS ALWAYS, THIS IS A CLOSE CASE TO MY MIND, UM, AS SOMEONE WHO ALSO DRIVES DOWN EVERGREEN PRETTY FREQUENTLY BECAUSE IT'S ON THE WAY TO MY DAUGHTER'S SCHOOL AND I STOP AT THE COFFEE JOINT ON EVERGREEN, UM, SHINE COFFEE.
UM, IT'S, IT'S A CLOSE CASE BECAUSE OF THE PARKING ISSUES THAT COMMISSIONER GREATHOUSE RAISES AND BECAUSE OF THE NUMBER OF BEDROOMS. AND SO FOR THAT REASON, THAT'S WHY I SECONDED THIS.
I THINK, UH, FOUR UNITS WOULD BE A NO-BRAINER HERE.
AND I THINK THAT WOULD MAKE SENSE GIVEN THE SIZE OF THE PROPERTY AND THE SIZE OF THE BACK HOUSE, BUT THAT'S NOT WHERE WE ARE.
UM, ANY FINAL COMMENTS LOOKING LEFT, LOOKING RIGHT? COMMISSIONER? WE, YEAH,
[01:05:01]
MR. CHAIR? SO I THINK THIS CASE FOR ME IS KIND OF DIFFICULT WHEN I LOOK AT WHAT THE APPLICANT, UM, INTENDS TO DO WITH THE PROPERTY.AND I THINK, AND I THOUGHT I HEARD, YOU KNOW, WHEN SHE BOUGHT THE PROPERTY, SHE WAS LOOKING AT THE WHAT WAS ON B C A.
SO TYPICALLY I WOULD, UM, YOU KNOW, CONSIDER, UH, COMMISSIONER GREAT HOUSE'S, UH, ARGUMENTS AND, BUT I BELIEVE THAT THERE IS AN ANSWER THAT WE MAY TAKE TIME TO REALLY HAVE THAT DISCUSSION WITH THE APPLICANT AND, AND, UM, COMMISSIONER GREATHOUSE THAT THERE'S AN ANSWER THERE AND DENIAL IS NOT IT.
WE, UM, I GUESS TO ME FOR FINAL COMMENTS, UM, YES, THIS IS A VERY DIFFICULT CASE AS IS ALL THE CASES THAT WE HAVE IN, IN SEEMS OUR HISTORIC URBAN CORE.
UM, AND I, I KIND OF AGREE WITH, WITH, UH, COMMISSIONER WE, IN THAT, YOU KNOW, FIVE UNITS IS, IS TOO MUCH AS COMMISSIONER REHOUSE STATED BECAUSE OF PARKING AND AS COMMISSIONER BUSTAMONTE, UM, FOUR UNITS SEEMS, IN MY OPINION, JUST SEEMS TO BE THE SWEET SPOT.
UM, SO I'M TRYING TO FIGURE OUT EXACTLY HOW I'M GOING TO, TO VOTE ON THIS MYSELF.
BUT CURRENTLY THE, THE, UH, THE MOTION IS FOR DENIAL BY COMMISSIONER GREATHOUSE, SECOND BY COMMISSIONER BUSTAMONTE, IF WE COULD HAVE A ROLL CALL VOTE PLEASE.
ALRIGHT, SO THE MOTION HAS FAILED.
SO, UM, THE FLOOR IS OPEN FOR A MOTION FOR RECONSIDERATION, RIGHT? SO ARE WE MAKING A RECOMMENDATION? SHOULD THE APPLICANT MAKE AN, ARE THEY GONNA AMEND THE CHANGE THAT YOU'RE RECOMMENDING OR IS THAT, HOW DOES, I GUESS WOULD THAT WORK? YOU CAN ASK.
YOU, YOU CAN ASK IF THE APPLICANT IS WILLING TO AMEND TO FOUR UNITS.
WOULD YOU BE WILLING TO AMEND THE YES, I WILL ACCEPT FOUR TO FOUR.
FOUR UNITS INSTEAD OF THE FIVE THAT YOU CAME IN? YES.
ALRIGHT, IS THERE A MOTION FOR RECONSIDERATION? MOTION TO RECONSIDER? WELL IT'S DISTRICT ONE SO I DON'T WANT TO ASK YOU.
YOU IT HAS TO BE BY THE PREVAILING SIDE.
SO IN OTHER WORDS, SOMEBODY THAT VOTED NO CAN HAVE IT BE RECONSIDERED.
ALRIGHT, MOTION TO RECONSIDER.
RECONSIDER BY, UH, COMMISSIONER, WE COMMISSIONER NICKS? DID YOU WANNA SECOND THAT? ALRIGHT, SECOND BY COMMISSIONER, CAN WE HAVE A ROLL CALL? VOTE ON THE MOTION TO RECONSIDER.
COMMISSIONER GREATHOUSE? NOPE.
ALRIGHT, SO NOW THE FLOOR IS OPEN FOR A MOTION FROM OR A A ANOTHER MOTION? YEAH.
UH, MR. CHAIR, I MOVE FOR APPROVAL AS AMENDED TO FOUR UNITS.
ALRIGHT, THE MOTION IS FOR APPROVAL FOR FOUR UNITS, I D Z ONE I'M ASSUMING FOR FOUR UNITS.
UM, SECOND BY COMMISSIONER BARDOS, UH, DISCUSSION LOOKING LEFT, NO DISCUSSION.
COMMISSIONER GREATHOUSE? UM, I'M GONNA NOT BE SUPPORTING THE MOTION.
UM, NOT BECAUSE I NECESSARILY DISAGREE WITH FOUR UNITS, BUT BECAUSE, BECAUSE THIS IS I D Z, I WOULD LIKE TO SEE THIS COME BACK TO THIS COMMISSION WITH AN AMENDED SITE PLAN.
SO I DON'T THINK THAT THIS IS AN
[01:10:01]
APPROPRIATE MOTION.I DON'T THINK THAT THIS IS AN APPROPRIATE ACTION AT THIS POINT IN TIME AND I'D LIKE TO SEE THIS COME BACK.
COMMISSIONER, MR. ANTE, SORRY, STAFF, THE APPLICANT CAN AMEND THE SITE PLAN BEFORE CITY COUNCIL TO MEET WITH THE FOUR UNIT DEPARTMENT? THAT'S CORRECT.
ALRIGHT, COMMISSIONER GREATHOUSE AND I'D LIKE FOR THE ZONING COMMISSION TO CONSIDER THAT AMENDED SITE PLAN BEFORE IT GOES TO CITY COUNCIL.
MEANING REMIND ME IF THE MOTION FAILS, WOULD IT COME BACK IN TWO WEEKS IF THERE WAS A THAT'S CORRECT.
WELL, NO, ACTUALLY IT'S ALREADY BEEN, YEAH, IT, IT'S ALREADY COME TO YOU BEFORE.
SO IT WOULD MOVE FORWARD SO THEN IT AS A DENIAL, IT WOULD, IT WOULD MOVE FORWARD AS A DENIAL.
SO THE ALTERNATIVE WOULD BE FOR THIS MOTION TO FAIL AND THEN SOMEONE MAKE A MOTION FOR A CONTINUANCE, IS WHAT YOU'RE, IF WE WANTED TO ENSURE THAT IT CAME BACK TO HERE.
AT THIS POINT THOUGH, OH, SORRY MR. I DO HAVE A CLARIFICATION ON THAT BECAUSE THE ELECTION OF MOVING FORWARD TO COUNCIL OR NOT IS THE APPLICANT'S.
SO IT COULD, IF WE'VE HAD TWO SORRY.
IF, IF YOU, IF YOU WANT TO, WE'RE GONNA, LET ME, LET ME SEE IF I UNDERSTAND THIS RIGHT, BECAUSE WE'VE HAD TWO MEETINGS WHERE NO ACTION ON THE SUBSTANCE WAS TAKEN, NO APPROVAL, NO DENIAL.
UM, THE APPLICANT CAN ELECT TO GO FORWARD AS A DENIAL, BUT THAT'S SOLELY THE APPLICANT.
SO EVEN IF WE MOVE FOR A CONTINUANCE, THE APPLICANT COULD THEN ELECT TO GO FORWARD TO CITY COUNCIL DESPITE OUR MOTION FOR CONTINUANCE, CORRECT? YES.
YOU'VE CONFUSED ME HERE,
SO DO WE ASK THE APPLICANT IF THEY'RE WILLING TO COME BACK TO, TO BRING IT BACK TO, TO BRING THE SITE PLAN BACK SO WE CAN ACTUALLY RECOMMEND APPROVAL BEFORE THEY GO TO CITY COUNCIL? WELL, I, WE COULD, BUT I THINK OKAY.
RIGHT NOW THE MOTION IS FOR APPROVAL OF I D Z ONE FOR FOUR UNITS CONCERNS HAVE BEEN RAISED ABOUT WANTING TO SEE A SITE PLAN.
UM, OKAY, I'M, I'M LOOKING OVER TO STAFF FOR HELP HERE.
SO I WILL JUST JUMP IN REALLY QUICKLY AND REMIND EVERYBODY THAT THIS IS A RECOMMENDATION TO CITY COUNCIL.
SO IT IS NOT BINDING IN ANY KIND OF WAY OTHER THAN TO MAKE A RECOMMENDATION.
THE CODE HAS A SPECIAL PROVISION WHICH WAS WRITTEN IN YEARS AGO BECAUSE THE INTENTION WAS TO NOT HAVE CASES GET BOGGED DOWN AT THE ZONING COMMISSION FOR WEEK AFTER WEEK AFTER WEEK AFTER WEEK.
UH, THAT THE APPLICANT HAD TO COME BACK AT LEAST TWO TIMES.
BUT THEN AFTER THAT THEY HAVE THE AUTHORITY UNDER THE CODE TO CHOOSE TO GO TO CITY COUNCIL AT THAT POINT IN TIME WITH A RECOMMENDATION OF DENIAL.
SO IT WOULD BE UP TO THE APPLICANT AT THAT POINT TO DECIDE AFTER THIS MEETING WHETHER THEY'RE GONNA GO OR NOT GO AT THAT POINT.
SO, AND AT THIS POINT YOU HAVE A MOTION IN FRONT OF YOU THAT NEEDS TO BE VOTED ON.
ALRIGHT, FINAL DISCUSSION LEFT.
ONE MORE POINT OF, UH, MR. CHAIR, IT DOES, YOU KNOW, WE APPROVE THIS, THEY STILL, THE APPLICANT HAS TO GO BACK TO DEVELOPMENT SERVICE AND GET ALL THE BUILDING APPROVALS AND BUILDING PERMITS.
I MEAN, HONESTLY THE WAY IT'S TAKEN IS ABOUT A 90 DAY PROCESS.
THEY, THEY HAVE TO GO THROUGH AN ENTIRE UH, PERMIT PROCESS.
OKAY, THANK YOU COMMISSIONER BRIGHTHOUSE FINAL WORDS.
RIGHT? I TOTALLY UNDERSTAND THAT.
I THINK THAT'S VERY VALID, COMMISSIONER BARROWS.
BUT HOWEVER, IF WE APPROVE THIS, IT IS AN IDZ ONE.
IT WAIVES ALL PARKING REQUIREMENTS, RIGHT? SO I WANNA SEE THIS COME BACK.
I WANNA KNOW HOW MANY BEDROOMS ARE HERE.
I WANNA KNOW THE COMPLETE AND TOTAL PICTURE OF WHAT THIS PROJECT LOOKS LIKE BEFORE WE MAKE A RECOMMENDATION GOING FORWARD.
BECAUSE THE FACT THAT THEY HAVE TO GET PERMITS OR THE FACT THAT THEY HAVE TO GO THROUGH D SS D AS LONG AS IT IS THEY'RE IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE ZONING AND WITH THE OTHER CODE HERE, IT DOESN'T MATTER.
BUT THAT DOESN'T ADDRESS THE ISSUES THAT I WANNA SEE
[01:15:01]
ON THIS PROPERTY.ALRIGHT, MOTION IS FOR APPROVAL FOR I D Z ONE FOR FOUR UNITS.
COMMISSIONER GREENHOUSE? NOPE.
ANN VANITA ZONING PLANNER WITH DEVELOPMENT SERVICES.
ITEM NUMBER 14 IS LOCATED AT 3 0 4 3 WEST SALINA STREET AND IS A REQUEST TO GO FROM C TWO TO R THREE C D I D Z WITH ALL OTHER OVERLAYS REMAINING THE SAME.
THERE ARE 40, 54 NOTICES MAILED WITH ZERO RETURN IN FAVOR, ZERO RETURN ON OPPOSITION AND THERE IS NO RESPONSE FROM PROSPECT HILL NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATION.
THE CURRENT C TWO COMMERCIAL DISTRICT IS NOT INAPPROPRIATE ZONING FOR THE PROPERTY AND SURROUNDING AREA WITH RESIDENTIAL UNITS ON THE COMMERCIAL ZONE PROPERTIES.
THE PROPOSED R THREE C D I D Z RESIDENTIAL SINGLE FAMILY DISTRICT WITH A CONDITIONAL USE FOR THREE UNITS AND THE INFILL DEVELOPMENT ZONE OVERLAY IS MUCH BETTER SUITED TO THE DEVELOPMENT PATTERN.
THERE IS A MIX OF ZONING AND LAND USE IS IN THE AREA AND THE PROPERTY IS ON THE CORNER OF TWO LOCAL STREETS WITH A PATTERN OF OTHER PROPERTIES THAT ARE SIZED IN PLACE.
SIMILARLY IN PROXIMITY, ACCOMMODATING MORE DENSITY, THE ADDITIONAL DENSITY IS ALSO CONS CONSISTENT WITH THE STRATEGIC HOUSING IMPLEMENTATION PLAN FOR DIVERSE HOUSING FOR ALL INCOME LEVELS, STAFF RECOMMENDS APPROVAL AND THE APPLICANT IS HERE TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS.
IF WE COULD HAVE THAT APPLICANT PLEASE.
UM, I PURCHASED THIS PROPERTY UH, ABOUT A YEAR AGO AND UH, IT WAS THE LOCAL DRUG HOUSE ON THE CORNER AND UH, THEY HAD MOVED OUT AND IT WENT UP FOR SALE AND I PICKED IT UP AND I'M TRYING TO RID THE NEIGHBORHOOD OF THAT KIND OF SITUATION AND, UM, MAKE IT INTO RESPECTABLE HOUSING, AFFORDABLE HOUSING FOR PEOPLE IN THE AREA.
UM, I WILL BE PART-TIME OCCUPYING ONE OF THE UNITS, THE SMALLEST UNIT AND UH, THE OTHER TWO WOULD BE, EXCUSE ME, WOULD BE RENTED OUT.
DO WE, SORRY, JUST FOR CLARIFICATION, CAN YOU STATE YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS? OH, I'M SORRY.
UH, THE ADDRESS IS 30 43 WEST SALINAS.
DO WE HAVE ANY PUBLIC COMMENT ON THIS ITEM? YES.
UM, WE HAVE MS. JOSEFA JOSEFA MORENO, WOULD YOU LIKE TO SPEAK? OKAY, YOU'RE WELCOME TO COME UP AND WE WILL NEED TRANSLATIONS, PLEASE INTERPRETATION.
I LIVE IN 30, 35 WEST SALINAS.
IT'S NOT IN THE MAP THAT YOU HAVE THERE.
IT'S, THAT'S NOT MY ADDRESS AND I JUST CAME TO SAY THAT I'M AGAINST IT.
[01:20:05]
UM, PREVIOUSLY, UM, MANY YEARS AGO MAYBE IT WAS VERY BIG.IT WAS DOUBLE BECAUSE NOW THERE ARE SOME HOUSES THAT THEY BUILT IN THE BACK, THE HOUSE NEXT TO ME.
UH, NO ONE LIVES THERE AND THAT ONE DOES HAS A BIG, UH, LOT I THINK IS ONE, ONE OF THE REGIONALS.
UH, I DON'T AGREE WITH THE CHANGES.
I HAVE LIVED THERE FOR 30 YEARS.
ALSO MY NEIGHBORHOOD IS VERY DANGEROUS.
IT STARTED 10 YEARS AGO BECAUSE BEFORE THAT IT WAS A VERY PEACEFUL NEIGHBORHOOD.
THERE'S ALWAYS PEOPLE THAT ARE UNDESIRABLE WALKING AROUND THE STREETS.
UH, TWO HOUSES DOWN, SOMEBODY SELLS DRUGS IN THE NEXT BLOCK, SOMEBODY ELSE SELLS DRUGS.
THERE'S ALWAYS PEOPLE LIKE THAT AND IT'S VERY DANGEROUS WALKING AROUND THE STREETS.
THERE'S ONLY THREE ORIGINAL NEIGHBORS THAT WE'VE BEEN LIVING THERE FOR THAT LONG.
I WOULDN'T, I UM, UH, IS, I WOULDN'T WANT ANY CHANGES IS VERY DANGEROUS AS IT IS.
THERE'S ALWAYS, I'M ALREADY USED TO IT, BUT ALL OF THE SUDDEN THERE'S VERY BAD PEOPLE.
IT COULD BE 11 IN THE MORNING OR IT COULD BE THREE IN THE AFTERNOON AND THEY START SHOOTING.
THEY DON'T EVEN WAIT FOR THE NIGHTTIME.
UH, SOMETIMES I'M JUST AT 11 IN THE MORNING IN MY GARDEN WORKING ON MY PLANTS AND ALL OF A SUDDEN I HEAR, UM, SHOOTING AND I JUST TRY TO DUCK DOWN A LITTLE BIT.
SO HOPEFULLY THEY DON'T HIT ME.
AND IT'S VERY DANGEROUS, FOR EXAMPLE, TO HAVE A NEIGHBOR MOVED IN IN, IN MY BACK, NOT IN MY BACKYARD, IN THE BACK OF THE HOUSE IN THE LOT, BE BEHIND THE HOUSE.
'CAUSE YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT KIND OF THOUGHTS HE GOES THROUGH HIS MIND.
I WOULDN'T WANT THEM AS MY NEIGHBORS IN, IN THE LOT BEHIND MY HOUSE AND IN MY HOUSE.
SO WE WILL HAVE A DISCUSSION WITH HER, UH, TO EXPLAIN THERE IS A LARGE AREA REZONING GOING ON IN THIS AREA SO IT IS POSSIBLE THAT HER PROPERTY IS PART OF THAT, UM, WHICH IS WHY SHE WAS SPEAKING ABOUT HER PROPERTY.
UM, BUT WE WILL EXPLAIN THAT THIS IS A SEPARATE REQUEST FOR THE CORONER PROPERTY.
[01:25:01]
OKAY, THANK YOU.UM, IF THE APPLICANT WOULD WANT A CHANCE FOR A SHORT REBUTTAL, UM, YEAH.
UH, THE PROPERTY THAT I BOUGHT, LIKE I SAID USED TO BE THE DRUG HOUSE ON THE CORNER, SO I'M TRYING TO GET RID OF THAT AREA THERE.
THE HOUSE NEXT DOOR, WHICH IS 30 39 IS VACANT CURRENTLY.
UM, AND WAS THEY WERE HOMELESS LIVING IN IT AND EVERYTHING AND I WAS ABLE TO GET THE HOMELESS OUT OF THEIR OPEN COOPERATION WITH THE POLICE AND STUFF.
UM, AND I ACTIVELY CLEAN UP THAT PROPERTY AND MAKE SURE THAT THE GARBAGE IS OUT OF IT AND AT LEAST IT LOOKS SOMEWHAT PRESENTABLE.
UM, ESPECIALLY OF COURSE BECAUSE IT'S RIGHT NEXT TO WHAT I'M, WHAT MY PROJECT IS GOING ON.
BUT MY GOAL IS TO, YOU KNOW, JUST CLEAN EVERYTHING UP AND GET EVERYTHING MORE, YOU KNOW, SAFER AND NICER FOR THE WHOLE NEIGHBORHOOD.
SO COMMISSIONER BUSTAMONTE TO YOU FOR QUESTION ALL.
UM, I WAS GONNA ASK ABOUT HOW ON EARTH IS THIS C TWO.
UM, AND YOU KNOW, MISS MORENO'S HOUSE IS C TWO.
UM, SO THE LARGE AREA REZONING IS, IS GOOD.
THAT WAS PROBABLY GONNA BE MY FOLLOW UP QUESTION BECAUSE THE ENTIRE BLOCK IS IN F 33 AND IT LOOKS AWFULLY LIKE EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THOSE IS A SINGLE FAMILY USE.
SO THIS IS UNFORTUNATELY A SITUATION WHERE, YOU KNOW, BECAUSE OF PREVIOUS REZONINGS THERE APPEAR TO BE LAND USE PROVISIONS THAT ARE NOT APPLICABLE TO THE CURRENT USE.
IS THAT RIGHT? STAFF? UM, ACCORDING TO THE HISTORY, THE PROPERTY WAS A PART OF THE ORIGINAL 36 SQUARE MILES AND IT WAS ORIGINALLY ZONED LOCAL RETAIL DISTRICT, WHICH IN THE PAST FOR ZONING IF YOU WERE, THEY PERMITTED LOWER INTENSITY USES.
SO IF THEY WERE RETAIL THEY COULD POTENTIALLY PUT HOMES THERE, WHICH MOST LIKELY HAPPENED.
BUT THAT, UM, LOCAL RETAIL DID CONVERT TO THE EXISTING C TWO WHEN WE DID OUR MASS CONVERSION IN 2001 STAFF.
CAN WE GET THE UM, SITE PLAN UP PLEASE? NO, I NEED TO LOOK UP BEFORE I ASK A QUESTION.
AND MR. PRICE IF YOU WOULD? YES.
UM, SO YOU MENTIONED THIS TO ME PREVIOUSLY, UH, BUT THAT VERY SMALL ROOM ON THE LOWER LEFT IS 210 SQUARE FEET.
AND WHAT IS YOUR PLAN FOR THAT ROOM? ME, UM, I WORK IN SAN ANTONIO QUITE OFTEN AND SOMETIMES WOULD LIKE TO BE DOWN HERE FOR A DAY OR TWO INSTEAD OF HAVING TO DRIVE HOME 'CAUSE I LIVE FULL-TIME IN BURNEY AND IT WAS JUST AN OPPORTUNITY FOR ME TO DO A MULTI-FAMILY AND TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THAT SPACE AND ABLE TO HAVE A SPACE FOR MYSELF WITHOUT HAVING TO STAY IN A HOTEL OR ET CETERA.
AND IT'S 197 SQUARE FEET ONCE YOU TAKE OUT THE DOOR SWING? YEP.
AND YOU DON'T HAVE ANY INTENTION OF REOPENING IT AS A DRUG HOUSE? THAT
ALTHOUGH, YOU KNOW, DEPENDS ON HOW LUCRATIVE IT WOULD BE
'CAUSE AS, AS COMMISSIONER BARTOS WOULD POINT OUT, YOU KNOW, YOU DO HAVE TO COMPLY WITH OTHER RULES AS WELL AS ZONING
THAT IS, I BELIEVE THOSE ARE ALL MY QUESTIONS FOR RIGHT NOW.
UM, QUESTIONS? FELLOW COMMISSIONERS ON MY LEFT.
COMMISSIONER BOTTLES? YOU'D LOOK LIKE YOU'D WANNA SAY SOMETHING OR OKAY.
YOU ALRIGHT? QUESTIONS COMMERS ON MY RIGHT.
I, I I DO APPRECIATE MS. MORENO COMING OUT.
YOU KNOW, THOSE ARE OBVIOUSLY PROBLEMS, UH, THAT THIS NEIGHBORHOOD IS STRUGGLING WITH, WITH, AND YOU KNOW, THE MORE WE HEAR ABOUT THEM, THE MORE LIKELY WE ARE TO HAVE ACTION.
YOU KNOW, NOT FROM THIS BODY 'CAUSE IT'S WELL BEYOND OUR PURVIEW.
UM, BUT, YOU KNOW, WE NEED TO BE AWARE OF SUCH ISSUES AND THE COUNCIL NEEDS TO BE AWARE OF SUCH ISSUES SO THAT WE CAN ADDRESS, UM, YOU KNOW, PLACES LIKE WHERE MS. MORENO IS LIVING THAT TRULY ARE AFFECTING EVERY SINGLE INDIVIDUAL'S QUALITY OF LIFE IN THAT NEIGHBORHOOD.
UH, THAT BEING SAID, THIS IS AN OPPORTUNITY TO BEGIN TO CORRECT THAT THIS IS AN IMPROPER ZONING FOR THIS LAND.
IT'S AN IMPROPER ZONING FOR THE LAND USE THAT SHOULD BE THERE.
AND SO AS A RESULT, I MOVE TO APPROVE AS SUBMITTED.
THE MOTION IS FOR APPROVAL AND I HEARD A SECOND, BUT WAS IT, IT WAS BARROS.
COMMISSIONER BARROS WITH THE SECOND.
LOOKING RIGHT? ALRIGHT, MOTION IS FOR APPROVAL.
[01:30:01]
ROLL CALL, VOTE PLEASE.I HAVE ONE UNRELATED QUESTION.
THE HOUSE NEXT DOOR THAT I REFERRED TO 30 39, UM, IS I'VE BEEN TRYING TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT THAT HOUSE AS FAR AS EITHER REQUIRING IT OR HAVING A, YOU KNOW, A FRIEND OR SOMEBODY ACQUIRE IT AND IT'S IN TAX, UH, IT'S IN LITIGATION NOW FOR BACK TAXES.
UM, AND IT JUST, I KEEP, IT GOES ROUND AND ROUND AND ROUND AND ROUND AND ROUND AND THE HOMELESS ARE IN AND OUT OF IT AND I CAN'T GET AN ANSWER FROM ANYBODY AS FAR AS HOW TO ACTUALLY PURCHASE IT OR REQUIRE IT SO THAT IT CAN ALSO BE RENOVATED AND IMPROVED.
AND I DON'T KNOW, I WOULD POINT YOU TO LIKE OVER THE THERE.
SO THAT IS GONNA BE PRIMARILY, UM, THROUGH THE COUNTY AND IT WILL BE, YOU KNOW, PRESUMING ONCE THE LITIGATION REGARDING THE BACK TAXES IS COMPLETE MM-HMM.
AND IT'S TAXES HAVEN'T BEEN, THIS IS THE FRUSTRATING PART.
TAXES HAVE NOT BEEN PAID ON IT SINCE 2017.
AND IT STILL HASN'T BEEN AUCTIONED OFF.
UM, SO SOMETHING'S, SOMETHING DOESN'T SEEM RIGHT.
TELL, TELL YOU WHAT, UM,
TRY, TRY SPEAKING TO, UM, THE COUNTY COMMISSIONER'S OFFICE.
IN THIS CASE, UM, SHE MIGHT BE ABLE TO GET YOU SOME INFORMATION.
IF NOT, UM, MY NUMBER AND EMAIL ARE AROUND MY TELEPHONE NUMBER'S TWO ONE ZERO SIX TWO THREE CALL.
YOU ALWAYS SAY THAT NO ONE EVER CALLS ME.
6 2 3 0 0 8 1 0 0 8 1 PEOPLE CALLING.
AND I CAN JUST ADD, HAVE YOU SPOKEN WITH ANYONE AT THE APPRAISAL DISTRICT? THE COUNTY APPRAISAL DISTRICT? YOU MIGHT ACTUALLY START THERE.
I'VE I'VE ALSO BEEN IN CONTACT WITH THE ATTORNEY'S OFFICE THAT IS HANDLING THE LITIGATION FOR THE BACK TAXES TO FIND OUT IS THAT THE WINE, THERE WAS A WAY TO PAY OFF THE TAXES AND THEN HAVE IT, AND THEY SAID THAT THEY DON'T HAVE THE AUTHORITY TO SELL IT.
BUT IT'S JUST SEEMS TO BE THIS BIG CIRCLE AND THIS HOUSE IS JUST SITTING THERE BEING, YOU KNOW, DESTROYED AND, YOU KNOW, IT'S JUST, IT'S A NICE NEIGHBORHOOD AND IT'S A DANGER TO THE NEIGHBORHOOD.
BUT AGAIN, BEYOND OUR PURVIEW.
I BELIEVE WE HAVE MINUTES APPROVAL OF THE MINUTES ON THE AGENDA, SO, BECAUSE I BE THAT WAS OUR LAST CASE.
COMMISSIONER NICKS? WELL I JUST WANNA MAKE A CORRECTION ON THE MINUTES THAT SAID I WAS ABSENT TWO WEEKS AGO.
I WAS LATE BUT I WASN'T ABSENT.
YEAH, I THINK IT HAD IT, YOU CAME IN LIKE AT ONE 10 OR I THINK IT WAS LATER ON THERE, BUT, ALRIGHT.
MOTION TO APPROVE THE MINUTES AS CORRECTED IF NECESSARY.
ALRIGHT, MOTION TO APPROVE AS IF NECESSARY.
ALRIGHT, ALL IN FAVOR? AYE AYE.
DO WE HAVE A DIRECTOR'S REPORT BEFORE I MAKE AN ANNOUNCEMENT? DO YOU HAVE A DIRECTOR'S REPORT? NO, WE DON'T HAVE, THERE IS NO DIRECTOR'S REPORT.
ALRIGHT, BEFORE EVERYONE LEAVES, RUMOR HAS IT THAT COMMISSIONER KAMATH MAY BE AT HIS LAST MEETING TODAY.
SO I WOULD LIKE TO EXTEND OUR APPRECIATION.
HE IS OUR ELDER STATESMAN AS FAR AS LONGEVITY ON THIS COMMISSION.
HE WAS HERE BEFORE ANY OF US, AND I WOULD LIKE TO, UH, THANK HIM FOR HIS CONSTANT POSITIVITY ON THIS COMMISSION.
UM, SO THANK YOU COMMISSIONER KAMATH.
THANKS THE STAFF FOR ALL THE WORK THAT Y'ALL DO, YOU KNOW, MAKES, MAKES OUR WORK A LITTLE BIT EASIER.
AND I WANT THANK ALL THE FELLOW COMMISSIONERS.
UH, I LEARNED, I LEARNED UH, EVERY DAY I LEARN SOMETHING NEW FROM EACH ONE OF YOU.
AND WITH THAT WE WILL ADJOURN THE MEETING AT 2 44.
