[Comprehensive Master Plan Amendments ]
12.ITEM NUMBER 12 IS A REQUEST BY JACOB COLLIER, UM, AMENDING THE HERITAGE SOUTH SECTOR PLAN FROM AGRIBUSINESS RAMSEY TIER TO SUBURBAN TIER, LOCATED AT 14,502 PLEASANTON ROAD.
NOTICES WERE SENT, ZERO IN FAVOR AND ZERO OPPOSED.
AND THERE IS NO REGISTERED NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATION WITH 200 FEET.
THE APPLICANT IS REQUESTING A TWO WEEK CONTINUANCE TO AUGUST 9TH.
IS THERE ANY COMMISSIONERS, QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS? DO I HAVE A MOTION MOVE TO CONTINUE TO AUGUST 9TH.
AUGUST 9TH, PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING BY, UH, COMMISSIONER ORIAN.
ELIZABETH STEWART PLANNER WITH DEVELOPMENT SERVICES.
ITEM NUMBER 13 IS A REQUEST FOR APPROVAL OF A RESOLUTION TO AMEND THE NORTH SECTOR PLAN FROM NATURAL TIER AND SUBURBAN TIER TO SPECIALIZED CENTER AND GENERAL URBAN TIER.
GENERALLY LOCATED IN THE 7,000 BLOCK OF NORTH LOOP 1604 EAST.
THERE WERE 86 NOTICES MAILED ZERO IN FAVOR, ZERO OPPOSED WITHIN 200 FEET.
AND THERE IS NO REGISTERED NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATION.
THE PROPOSED LAND AMENDMENT IS PLAN AMENDMENT IS REQUESTED TO REZONE THE PROPERTY TO MF 25, LOW DENSITY, MULTIFAMILY AND BP BUSINESS PARK.
THE REQUEST FOR SPECIALIZED CENTER FOR LOT P DASH FIVE B IS NOT APPROPRIATE FOR THE SUBJECT PROPERTY.
A PLAN AMENDMENT TO GENERAL URBAN TIER FOR THE ENTIRE PROPERTY WOULD BE MORE APPROPRIATE AND WOULD PERMIT THE APPLICANT'S REQUEST OF MF 25 USE AND WAREHOUSING, WHICH CAN BE ACCOMMODATED WITH A LOWER INTENSITY C TWO COMMERCIAL DISTRICT ZONING RATHER WITH A CONDITIONAL USE RATHER THAN THE PROPOSED BP BUSINESS PARK STAFF RECOMMENDS DENIAL WITH AN ALTERNATE RECOMMENDATION TO GENERAL URBAN TIER FOR THE ENTIRE PROPERTY.
AND THE APPLICANT'S REPRESENTATIVE IS HERE TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS.
UH, LET ME GO AHEAD AND, UH, INVITE THE GENTLEMAN UP THAT WISHES TO SPEAK.
I'VE LIVED THERE 29 YEARS FROM WHEN THAT WAS PRETTY MUCH DESERTED AREA AND I'M NOT SO MUCH FOR OR AGAINST, BUT I JUST WANNA MAKE SURE YOU'RE AWARE OF THE FACT THAT A COUPLE THINGS, UH, THEY'VE ALREADY ANSWERED THAT RAINTREE PATH
[00:10:01]
WILL NOT BE CONTINUED INTO THE DEVELOPMENT AREA.I'D LIKE TO BE SURE WE'RE CLEAR ON THAT BECAUSE A LOT OF PEOPLE IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD HAVE SEEN A LOT OF EMAILS CONCERNED ABOUT TRAFFIC AND STUFF AND THAT COMING UP.
SO WE WANNA MAKE SURE THAT'S NOT IMPACTING ON THE, USED TO BE ANTONIO HIGH LANDS ON THERE.
UH, AS YOU KNOW, TOPPER WINE ROAD THERE HAS GOT SOME FUNDING OUT IN THE FUTURE, I UNDERSTAND TO REBUILD IT, BUT IT'S VERY NARROW AND VERY RIGHT THERE.
AND WE GOT A LOT OF TRAFFIC PROBLEMS DOWN WITH ALL THE DEVELOPMENT ON TOPPER WINE ROAD, AND THAT IS IMPACTING LOOKOUT ROAD, WHICH IS GONNA COME BY HERE, YOU KNOW, SO JUST SO YOU'RE AWARE OF THAT AS YOU'RE BUILDING IT.
AND THE SECOND THING I MENTIONED HERE WAS THE RAINTREE PARK THAT, THAT DRAINS DOWN INTO THAT AREA.
UH, IT ACTUALLY DRAINS ALL THE HOUSING ABOVE THROUGH THE PARK OUT INTO THE, UH, UH, PROPOSED, WELL ACTUALLY INTO THE GENERAL PURPOSE TIER THERE.
AND I'VE BEEN THERE DURING SOME OF THE HEAVY RAINS THAT, THAT NATURAL TIER IN THE O OFF OF RAINTREE PARK THERE THAT RUNS IN THERE, THAT'LL BE WALL TO WALL WATER FLOWING THROUGH THERE ON HEAVY RAINS.
SO JUST SO THEY'RE AWARE OF THAT GOING INTO.
AND THE FINAL THING IS I TRIED LOOKING, UH, GENERAL PROPOSED URBAN TIER.
I LOOKED ALL OVER THE INTERNET.
I CANNOT FIND A GOOD DEFINITION FOR WHAT TYPE OF HOUSING OR HOW MANY, I WOULD JUST SAY THAT BE CAREFUL HOW MANY PEOPLE GO, HOW BIG A DENSE, HOW MUCH DENSITY YOU PUT IN THERE BECAUSE THERE'S A LOT OF TRAFFIC AND PROBLEMS ALREADY WHERE IT SAYS NATURAL TEAR IN THAT AREA.
THAT'S THE, THE POND THAT'S BEEN THERE FOR YEARS.
AND, UH, AND THEY'D MENTIONED THEY'RE GONNA TRY TO KEEP THAT AND THE TREES AND STUFF, WHICH IS GOOD.
WE'VE HAD, WHEN IT WAS FARMLAND, WE HAD PROBLEM WITH PEOPLE FIRING GUNS.
UH, IT'S A DOVE FLYWAY UP THROUGH THERE.
SO WE HAD PEOPLE SHOOTING SHOTGUNS ON BOTH SIDES OF US OVER THE YEARS.
SO THIS WILL KIND OF TAKE CARE OF THAT PROBLEM.
BUT I GUESS MY, THE MAIN THING IS JUST BE AWARE THAT WE'RE ALREADY HAVING PROBLEMS IN OUR AREA WITH THE DENSITY ON TOPPER WINE AND LOOKOUT ROAD BESIDES LOOKOUT ROAD AND, UH, TOPPER WINE, THE INTERSECTION AT RAILROAD TRACK, THERE'S ALMOST ROUTINE, SERIOUS ACCIDENTS THERE ALL THE TIME.
AND GET RESOLVING ASPEN TIED UP BETWEEN THE CITY OF LIVE OAK, CITY OF SAN ANTONIO AND THE RAILROAD.
UNTIL THEY FIX THAT, IT PRETTY MUCH SHUTS DOWN LOOKOUT ROAD DURING HEAVY TRAFFIC, YOU KNOW, MORNING AND EVENING TRAFFIC AREAS.
SO, UH, I GUESS I WOULD'VE SAY I'M FOR IT, BUT JUST WANNA MAKE SURE PEOPLE ARE AWARE THAT THERE'S A LOT OF IMPACTS, ESPECIALLY WITH THE DENSITY OF, OF HOUSING THERE WE'RE CONCERNED ABOUT.
UM, I, I THINK THAT STAFF OR PERHAPS THE APPLICANT'S REPRESENTATIVE CAN HELP YOU WITH SOME OF THOSE DENSITY QUESTIONS.
UM, CAROLYN, DO YOU HAVE ANYTHING TO ADD? I, YES, MR. CHAIR COMMISSIONERS CAROLYN MCDONALD WITH BROWN MCDONALD 100, UH, NORTHEAST LOOP FOUR 10.
JUST WANNA PUT ON THE RECORD THAT WE ACCEPT STAFF'S ALTERNATE RECOMMENDATION.
UM, AND WE'RE WORKING WITH THE ADJACENT PROPERTY OWNERS AS WELL AS THE ENGINEER ON A DRAINAGE STUDY WE'RE AWARE OF, OF THE DRAINAGE FEATURES IN THE AREA.
ANY COMMISSIONER QUESTIONS? WHAT IS THE ALTERNATIVE RECOMMENDATION? ALTERNATE RECOMMENDATION WAS, UM, FOR GENERAL URBAN TIER FOR THE ENTIRE PROPERTY, THEY WERE REQUESTING A GENERAL URBAN TIER FOR THE TOP PRO PROPERTY AND THEN SPECIALIZED CENTER FOR THE LOWER SECTION.
AND WE'RE JUST SAYING GENERAL URBAN TIER FOR THE ENTIRE PROPERTY.
I MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE STAFF ALTERNATE RECOMMENDATION OF GENERAL URBAN TIER FOR THE ENTIRE PROPERTY.
SECOND MOTION BY VICE CHAIR TO APPROVE THE ALTERNATE RECOMMENDATION OF GENERAL URBAN TIER FOR THE ENTIRE PROPERTY.
SECOND BY COMMISSIONER SIEGEL.
[Other Items ]
GOOD AFTERNOON.UH, MR. CHAIR, MEMBERS OF THE COMMISSION.
I'M THE INTERIM DIRECTOR OF THE CITY'S PLANNING DEPARTMENT.
UM, YOU HAVE BEEN BRIEFED ON THIS ITEM RELATED TO THE, UH, PROPOSED, UM, ANNEXATION AND GROWTH MANAGEMENT POLICY FOR THE CITY OF SAN ANTONIO.
UH, WE APPRECIATE ALL OF THE COMMENTS AND FEEDBACK THAT WE'VE RECEIVED FROM THE COMMISSION, AND WE DO RECOMMEND APPROVAL OF THE, UH, POLICY SO THAT WE CAN FORWARD TO THE CITY COUNCIL FOR CONSIDERATION.
UM, WITH THAT, UH, I'M HAPPY TO TAKE, UH, COMMENTS, MR. CHAIR.
I'LL OPEN UP FOR ANY COMMISSIONER QUESTIONS.
[00:15:01]
COMMENTS ON THE, UH, ON THE DOCUMENT.RUDY, FIRST I'D LIKE TO THANK YOU AND YOUR STAFF FOR ALL THE EFFORT YOU PUT INTO THIS.
UM, I THINK YOU DID A REALLY GOOD JOB PUTTING IT TOGETHER.
AND ALSO THANK YOU FOR ALL YOUR, UH, TIME AND DISCUSSIONS THAT WE'VE HAD OVER THE PAST SEVERAL WEEKS OR MONTHS, WHATEVER IT'S BEEN IN GOING BACK AND FORTH.
I KNOW YOU GUYS HAVE DONE A LOT OF OUTREACH ON THIS AND, UM, DEALT WITH A LOT OF, YOU KNOW, COMMENTS AND ISSUES AND, AND APPRECIATE YOUR GUYS' WILLINGNESS TO WORK WITH FOLKS AND, AND GETTING TO WHAT I THINK IS A REALLY GOOD DOCUMENT.
UM, YOU KNOW, BASICALLY THAT'S A, THAT'S A CONDITION UNDER, YOU KNOW, ITEM NUMBER ONE, WHICH READS REGARDING A THIRD PARTY'S REQUEST FOR CONSENT TO ESTABLISH A C C N WITHIN THE CITY'S CORPORATE LIMITS, OR E T J, THE CITY OF SAN ANTONIO SHOULD CONSIDER.
SO BASICALLY THAT SAYS THE, THE CITY SHOULD CONSIDER IF THERE'S OTHER REQUIREMENTS THAT SHOULD BE IMPOSED AS A CONDITION OF GETTING A, A, UH, UM, SEWER AND WATER SERVICE.
IF I UNDERSTAND STATE LAW CORRECTLY, WE CAN'T CONDITION WATER AND SEWER SERVICE UPON OTHER REQUIREMENTS OTHER THAN THOSE IMPOSED BY THE UTILITY PURVEYOR.
SO THAT SHOULD PROBABLY BE REMOVED.
CAN YOU STATE SPECIFICALLY WHAT WORD OR PHRASE YOU WANTED REMOVED FROM THE, SORRY, IT WAS ITEM ONE.
SO YOU SEE ONE AND THEN D IT SAYS IT STARTS WITH IF REQUIREMENTS MM-HMM.
SO YOU CAN'T, YOU CAN'T REQUIRE OTHER REQUIREMENTS.
YOU CAN ONLY REQUIRE THOSE REQUIREMENTS IMPOSED BY THE UTILITY PREVENTION.
AND THEN MY ONLY OTHER COMMENT IS ON PAGE 33, AND IT'S THE VERY LAST THING THERE.
IT SAYS, UH, ITEM SIX SAYS, THE CITY OF TAN OF SAN ANTONIO SHOULD INCENTIVIZE DEVELOPMENTS IN OR NEAR THE EDWARDS AQUIFER RECHARGE AND CONTRIBUTING ZONES AND IN AREAS IDENTIFIED BY THE WATERSHED MASTER PLAN OF THE BEAR REGIONAL WATERSHED MANAGEMENT CONSORTIUM TO USE LOCALIZED LOW IMPACT DEVELOPMENT LID LID TECHNIQUES TO MEET AND EXCEED WHERE POSSIBLE MINIMUM STANDARDS RELATED TO IMPERVIOUS COVER STORM WATER MANAGEMENT AND WATER QUALITY PROTECTION.
THE CITY OF SAN ANTONIO SHOULD.
AND THEN ITEM B SAYS, REQUIRE OR INCENTIVIZE, THE WORD REQUIRE SHOULD BE REMOVED BECAUSE YOU CAN'T REQUIRE SOMETHING THAT'S NOT IN THE CODE.
I WOULDN'T HAVE A PROBLEM IF YOU JUST STARTED THE SENTENCE WITH INCENTIVIZE NEW DEVELOPMENTS AND THEN SAY SOMETHING AT THE END ABOUT, UH, YOU KNOW, INCENTIVIZE THE USE OF, YOU KNOW, BEST PRACTICES AND GREEN TECHNIQUES SUCH AS CLUSTER DEVELOPMENT AND LOW IMPACT IDENTIFIED IN SAN ANTONIO RIVER AUTHORITY LID DESIGN MANUAL, UM, YOU KNOW, OR ITEMS FOR ITEMS THAT ARE NOT CURRENTLY REQUIRED BY THE U D C OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT.
AND ACTUALLY DISAPPOINTED AS YOU CAN'T REQUIRE IF IT'S NOT IN THE U D C.
AND SO WE'LL BEGIN THE ITEM B WITH A CAPITAL I FOR INCENTIVIZE.
AND WE DO, WE CAN ACCEPT THAT.
THANKS AGAIN, RUDY, APPRECIATE YOUR HELP.
ANYBODY ELSE? UH, COMMISSIONER MILAM, YOU'RE, YEAH.
I JUST WANTED TO, IN, UH, PAGE EIGHT, UH, FOR THIS REASON, THE CITY OF SAN ANTONIO DOES NOT AND SHOULD NOT SUPPORT THIS ANNEXATION REQUEST.
WHAT IS THE COMPLEXITY OF PROCESSING THIS ANNEXATION? 'CAUSE ONLY THE REASON I'VE READ IS THE TAXATION PROCESS.
COMMISSIONER, COULD YOU USE YOUR MIC? OH YEAH.
TAKE CLOSER TO YOUR MIC, MAYBE.
SO I JUST WANNA UNDERSTAND THE COMPLEXITY OF THE TAXATIONS WHEN IT COMES TO THE DIS ANNEXATION PROCESS TO A DIS ANNEXATION.
I THINK THAT THE, THE KEY IMPACT TO THE CITY OF SAN ANTONIO WHEN IT COMES TO A DIS ANNEXATION PROCESS WOULD BE THAT THE CITY SHOULD WE, UH, APPROVE THE DIS ANNEXATION OF A PIECE OF PROPERTY, WE WOULD HAVE TO COMPENSATE THE PROPERTY OWNER FOR, UH, SERVICES THAT THEY BELIEVE THAT THEY HAD NOT RECEIVED DURING THE TIME THAT THEY'RE WITHIN THE CORPORATE LIMITS.
AND THAT'S A VERY DIFFICULT THING TO CALCULATE.
SO I THINK DIS ANNEXATIONS, THOUGH THEY'RE EXTREMELY RARE, UM, WE DO WANT AT LEAST HAVE A LEVEL OF POLICY SET, YOU KNOW, BY THE COUNCIL THAT, UH, WOULD PROVIDE A, YOU KNOW, SOME CRITERIA FOR SOME EVALUATION OF WHETHER OR NOT IT'S A, IT'S A, IT'S A VALID REQUEST OR NOT.
AND WHETHER OR NOT, UH, UH, THE CITY OF SAN ANTONIO SHOULD CONSIDER THAT GIVEN THE FACT THAT THERE IS A, A, A FISCAL IMPACT TO THE CITY SHOULD READ THE SANEX PROPERTY.
DOES THE CITY OF SAN ANTONIO ALWAYS, UH, HAVE THE
[00:20:01]
PREFERENCE OF HAVING THE CHANCE TO DECIDE WHETHER TO ANNEX OR NOT TO ANY PARTICULAR AREA IN THE E E G G E T G? I THINK THAT THE STATE HAS MADE THAT DECISION FOR THE CITY OF SAN ANTONIO AND FOR ALL CITIES IN THE STATE OF TEXAS THROUGH, THROUGH, UM, THE LOCAL GOVERNMENT CODE AMENDMENTS IN, IN 2017 AND 2019, ANYTIME THAT A, A CITY WISHES TO CONSIDER THE ANNEXATION OF A PROPERTY, AN AREA, A NEIGHBORHOOD THAT'S WITHIN THE E T J, WE ACTUALLY HAVE TO CALL AN ELECTION AND ALLOW THE, THE ELECTORAL PROCESS TO DETERMINE WHETHER OR NOT THE AREA WOULD COME INTO THE CITY OR NOT.SO THAT IS ACTUALLY LAID OUT IN STATE LAW, AND PART OF THE REASON FOR ADOPTING THIS POLICY IS TO CONFORM TO THAT STATE LAW BECAUSE THE CURRENT POLICY ON THE BOOKS ACTUALLY CONFORMS TO PRIOR STATE LAW WHEN WE COULD ACTUALLY DO CONDUCT UNILATERAL ANNEXATION.
SO SINCE THAT OPTION ISN'T ON THE TABLE ANYMORE, UH, IT'S NO LONGER VALID.
THUS, WE'RE TRYING TO AMEND OUR, OUR POLICY TO, TO REFLECT THAT.
AND WITHOUT, UH, THE CONSENT OF THE LANDOWNER PRIOR TO 2017, THE CITY OF SAN ANTONIO COULD CONDUCT ANNEXATION.
UH, AND IT MAY NOT NECESSARILY BE WITH THE CONSENT OF THE LANDOWNER, BUT THAT HAS CHANGED SINCE 20, SINCE, UH, STATE LAW IN 2017.
SO THE, THE, THE LANDOWNER SHOULD APPROACH THE CITY FIRST.
WE DO, UH, WE DO GET THAT ON OCCASION.
THERE'S A, A TYPE OF ANNEXATION CALLED VOLUNTARY ANNEXATION.
YOU WILL PROBABLY SEE FOUR TO SIX OF THOSE A YEAR, SOMETIMES MAYBE A LITTLE BIT MORE, WHERE A PROPERTY OWNER THINKS THAT IT'S, IT'S BEST.
THE, THE, THE SERVICES THAT THE CITY OF SAN ANTONIO PROVIDES ARE OBVI WOULD BE BEST, UH, SUITED TO SERVE THEIR PARTICULAR PROPERTY OR PROJECT.
AND IN THAT CASE, THEY CAN REQUEST VOLUNTARY ANNEXATION FROM THE CITY.
AND SO WE DO CONSIDER THOSE, UH, UH, PROBABLY, YOU KNOW, FOUR TO SIX TIMES A YEAR.
ANY OTHER COMMISSIONERS? ANY QUESTIONS? THANK YOU AGAIN, RUDY, FOR YOUR WORK.
I'D LIKE TO, UH, MAKE A MOTION TO IMPROVE ITEM NUMBER 15 WITH THE EDITS, UH, TO THE TWO OH, THE TWO EDITS THAT WE DISCUSSED A FEW MINUTES AGO.
SECOND, MOTION TO APPROVE BY VICE CHAIR PECK TO ACCEPT, UH, TO APPROVE THE MO I'M SORRY, TO APPROVE THE ITEM WITH THE, UH, THE ACCEPTED EDITS.
AND A SECOND BY COMMISSIONER SIEGEL.
[Approval of Minutes ]
LAST ITEM, UH, TO CONSIDER IS 16 THE MINUTES FROM THE LAST MEETING.ARE THERE ANY EDITS OR COMMENTS? CORRECTIONS, HEARING NONE.
ALL IN FAVOR, PLEASE STATE AYE.
DO WE HAVE A DIRECTOR'S REPORT? ALRIGHT, NOTHING FOR TODAY.
