[Plats ]

UH, FIRST OF ALL, ITEM 27 HAS BEEN WITHDRAWN.
THE ITEMS THAT WILL BE HEARD INDIVIDUALLY ARE ITEMS 23, 24, 25, 31, 32.
AND BEFORE WE TAKE CONSIDERATION THE CONSENT AGENDA, THERE'S SOMEBODY TO SPEAK ON ITEM 29, WHICH IS ON THE CONSENT AGENDA.
UH, SO CAN, UH, JAMES ALLEN, YOU CAN SPEAK, YOU'LL HAVE THREE MINUTES.
YOU CAN STATE YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS AT THE, AT THE MICROPHONE.
LEMME JUST STATE YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS.
MR. CHAIRMAN AND COMMITTEE MEMBERS.
I HADN'T SEEN SOMEBODY IN A LONG TIME.
UH, I, I DO WANT TO GET THIS OUTTA THE WAY WITHOUT BEING DISINGENUOUS.
I HAVE MADE MY LIFE AS A DEVELOPER FOR 30 YEARS, SO IT'S KIND OF, UH, SOMEWHAT DISINGENUOUS THAT I'M HERE TODAY.
UH, I USED TO CALL THE PEOPLE THAT PROTEST THESE THINGS.
CAVE PEOPLE, CITIZEN, CITIZEN CITIZENS, VIRTUALLY AGAINST EVERYTHING.
UH, THE REASON IS THIS PROPERTY IS ON THE EDGE OF THE COUNTY LINE.
MY PROPERTY IS ON THE COUNTY LINE.
UM, I'VE BEEN WORKING WITH, I'M SURPRISED THE ARCHDIOCESE IS NOT HERE, BUT I WILL TALK TO THEM NEXT WEEK.
UH, AND I'LL TALK TO CHIEF MCMANUS, BUT WE WE'RE RIGHT OUT THERE ON THE COUNTY'S EDGE, UM, NOTWITHSTANDING, UH, A LONG PONTIFICATION ABOUT COMMERCIAL PROPERTY BEING BETTER FOR THE LAND DEVELOPMENT FOR JOBS, UH, TAX REVENUE, ET CETERA.
UH, ON THE COUNTY LINE OUT THERE, THE ISSUE WE HAVE WITH THE ONLY SUBDIVISION, UH, THAT'S THERE, IT'S INTERESTING THAT MR. MORTON ACTUALLY OWNED THE LAND NEXT DOOR THAT'S BEING DEVELOPED COMMERCIALLY, UH, AS LATE WIDOW.
BUT, UM, WE'RE HAVING WITH THE ONE SUBDIVISION OUT THERE.
'CAUSE THERE'S NOTHING OUT THERE.
THERE'S SEVEN AND A HALF MILES AS THE CROW FLIES TO THE NEAREST POLICE STATION.
UH, FORTUNATELY, UH, WITH MY WORKERS AND THE CATHOLIC CHURCH AND THE DIFFERENT GAME WARDENS AND EVERYTHING ELSE, UH, WE'VE HAD A LOT OF THEFT FROM THAT SUBDIVISION.
AND I UNDERSTAND THAT MAY NOT BE A GOOD REASON TO DO THAT, BUT I HOPE Y'ALL CONSIDER THIS IS ON THE EDGE OF THE COUNTY LINE.
AND, UH, I COULD GO AND PONTIFICATE ABOUT ANOTHER PIECE OF PROPERTY ON THE COUNTY LINE THAT'S HAVING THE SAME ISSUES THAT I'M INVOLVED WITH.
AND, BUT I, I WILL ASSURE YOU THAT IF YOU MAKE THOSE HOMES OUT THERE FOR THE REST OF US OUT THERE, IT'S GONNA CREATE NOT ONLY PROBLEMS WITH THE, THE CATHOLIC CHURCH, WHICH IS THE HEADQUARTERS OF THE FUNERAL THINGS OUT THERE, MYSELF AND EVERYONE ELSE OUT THERE STEALING STUFF, UH, BECAUSE WE HAVE NO PRESENCE OUT THERE.
NOW, I DO KNOW THAT CHIEF HOOD, WE MET WITH HIM, BUT FIRE THING, AND HE HAS STUCK FIRE STATIONS WITHIN REACH, BUT WE HAVE NO POLICE PRESIDENTS.
AND THAT'S NOTHING AGAINST CHIEF MCMANUS.
IN FACT, CHIEF MCMANUS ACTUALLY HELPED ME WITH MY FOUNDATION OUT THERE.
WE HAVE A HALFWAY HOUSE YEARS AGO WHEN, UH, JOHN CLAMP AND BOBBY PEREZ AND ALL THEM WERE INVOLVED.
SO THE, THE OTHER SIDE OF THE COIN JUST GOES BACK TO, I DON'T WANNA GET TOO LONG.
YOU, ONCE YOU BUILD HOMES, THE JOBS GO AWAY.
INDUSTRIAL COMMERCIAL DEVELOPMENT.
IF Y'ALL KNOW THE CORNER ACTUALLY WORK WITH MR. MORTON
[00:05:01]
AND MR. SANKO OWN IS, I THINK THEY HAVE A HALF A MILLION SQUARE FEET OF INDUSTRIAL ACROSS THE STREET GOING IN.WE HAVE ROLLING OAK SMALL, ALL THAT LAND RIGHT THERE IS SLATED FOR, UH, INDUSTRIAL COMMERCIAL USE.
SO YOU HAVE TAX REVENUE, ONGOING JOB USE, ET CETERA, WHICH IS WHY WE DEVELOP LAND CANDIDLY.
AND AGAIN, I DON'T WANT TO BE, NOBODY WANTS AN HEB OR WALMART NEXT TO 'EM UNTIL THEY WANT TO GO TO ONE.
UH, I'M PRO DEVELOPMENT, HOWEVER, AND I,
UH, AND I WORKED WITH BACK THEN WITH COUNTY COMMISSIONER, UH, KEVIN WOLF AND COMMISSIONER LARSON.
UH, AND I COULD HAVE BLOCKED THEM BECAUSE THEY NEEDED MY, MY, UH, PERMISSION FOR THE, UH, SEPTIC SYSTEM FOR THE STATE OF TEXAS AND BACK WITH JEFF WENTWORTH AND EVERYBODY ELSE.
SO I'M PRO DEVELOPMENT, PRO THIS, IT'S JUST HOMES RIGHT THERE ON THE PERIPHERAL.
IT'S GONNA BE AN ISSUE FOR EVERYBODY OUT THERE AND HAS BEEN FOR THE ONE SUBDIVISION WE HAVE OUT THERE.
SORRY ABOUT THE DISTRACTION EARLIER TODAY.
UH, DO THE COMMISSIONERS HAVE ANY FURTHER COMMENT RELATED TO, OR QUESTIONS RELATED TO THE CONSENT AGENDA? DO ANY COMMISSIONS WISH TO PULL ANY ADDITIONAL ITEMS? MAKE A MOTION FOR APPROVAL OF THE CONSENT AGENDA.
MOTION TO APPROVE OF VICE CHAIR PECK.
I'M IS THAT COMMISSIONER GARCIA? YEAH.
OH, WAIT, BEFORE WE TAKING IT, I'M SORRY.
THERE'S ALSO AT WANT SOMEBODY TO SPEAK IN FAVOR OF ITEMS THREE AND 16, WHICH IS ON THE CONSENT.
DO YOU, MR. MATA, DO YOU STILL WANT TO SPEAK? ARE YOU HERE? GABRIEL MATA? NOPE.
WE HAVE A MOTION, A SECOND FOR THE APPROVAL OF THE CONSENT.
[Comprehensive Master Plan Amendments ]
INDIVIDUAL ITEMS. ITEM NUMBER 23.MISSION ROAD IS REQUESTING A TWO WEEK CONTINUANCE TO MAY 22ND.
WE DO HAVE, UM, SOMEBODY SIGN UP TO SPEAK ON THAT ITEM.
IVANEZ, YOU HAVE, UH, THREE MINUTES AND STATE YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS PLEASE.
GOOD AFTERNOON, COMMISSIONERS.
I LIVE IN THE MISSION SAN JOSE NEIGHBORHOOD AT 1438 NAPIER AVENUE.
AND I DO NOT SUPPORT THIS REQUEST TO AMEND THE SOUTH CENTRAL SAN ANTONIO COMMUNITY PLAN BY CHANGING THE FUTURE LAND USE FROM PARKS OPEN SPACE TO HIGH DENSITY RESIDENTIAL AT 3,400 MISSION ROAD.
I HAVE BEEN ATTENDING THE SA TOMORROW MEETINGS FOR OUR COMMUNITY PLAN SINCE 2017 AND HAVE VOICED THAT PROPERTIES NEAR MISSION SAN JOSE CONTINUE TO STAY PARKS, OPEN SPACE, LOW DENSITY RESIDENTIAL OR COMMUNITY COMMERCIAL.
THE UPDATED PLAN UNDER ESSAY TOMORROW IS STILL UNDER REVISION.
THE LAST PLAN WAS DONE IN 2005.
MY NEIGHBORHOOD HAS DEFENDED MISSION SAN JOSE FROM DEVELOPMENT THAT PROMOTED HIGH DENSITY, BELIEVING THAT IT WAS ENCROACHING ON THE OUTSTANDING UNIVERSAL VALUE OF ITS WORLD HERITAGE DESIGNATION AND THAT HIGH DENSITY DEVELOPMENT WAS DETRIMENTAL TO THE HISTORIC VALUE OF THE MISSION AND TO OUR NEIGHBORHOOD.
PLEASE HELP MY COMMUNITY PROTECT MISSIONS SAN JOSE FROM HIGH DENSITY DEVELOPMENT NEAR ITS GROUNDS.
AND TO OUR COMMUNITY'S GOAL OF BALANCING FUTURE DEVELOPMENT.
HELP US CONTINUE TO PRESERVE AND PROTECT OUR UNESCO WORLD HERITAGE SITE.
THE APPLICANT HAS, UH, REQUESTED A CONTINUANCE TO MAY 22ND.
I MOVE TO GRANT THE CONTINUANCE TO MAY 22ND.
SECOND MOTION, UH, TO GRANT CONTINUANCE TO MAY 22ND BY COMMISSIONER SIEGEL.
[00:10:01]
FAULKNER? YES.LOCATED, GENERALLY LOCATED AT THE SOUTHEAST CORNER OF THE INTERSECTION OF WOLD ROAD IN INTERSTATE 10 EAST IS REQUESTING A TWO WEEK CONTINUANCE TO MAY 22ND.
I THINK WE HAVE A VOICEMAIL ON THIS ITEM.
UH, PHONE NUMBER IS TWO TEN TWO FIVE ONE EIGHT THREE ONE ONE.
ADDRESS IS 1 0 6 3 0 PENELOPE WAY, CONVERSE, TEXAS, UH, 7 8 1 0 9.
THE CASE NUMBER IS PA 20 24 11 6 0 0 0 2 2.
UH, WITH THE ADDRESS OF 4 1 10 WCO ROAD.
UH, THIS IS, UM, IN PROTEST OF THE FREIGHTLINER THAT WANTS TO BUILD RIGHT IN FRONT OF THE PALOMA SUBDIVISION.
UH, THEY COULD BUILD NEXT TO MCDONALD'S WHERE IT'S MORE COMMERCIAL.
UM, THAT WOULDN'T, UM, BOTHER ANYBODY, UH, HOMEWISE, UH, 'CAUSE IT'S ALL LIKE COMMERCIAL OUT THERE IN FRONT OF OUR HOMES.
WE WOULD LIKE SOMETHING TOTALLY DIFFERENT THAN HAVING TRUCK DRIVERS COME IN AND OUT OF THE, UH, SUBDIVISION ALL OR SUBDIVISION AREA.
UM, AVOIDING, UM, THE ACCESS, QUICK ACCESS INTO OUR SUBDIVISION, UH, AGAIN BELOW THE SUBDIVISION AGAINST THE FREIGHTLINER.
I, UM, JUST A REQUEST ITEM NUMBER 31 IS ALIGNED WITH THIS ITEM 24.
SO COULD IT THE MOTION BE FOR BOTH ITEMS 24 AND 31 SINCE THEY'RE BOTH THE SAME PROPERTY? JUST, UM, TWO DIFFERENT ITEMS. IS THAT, CAN WE DO THAT? YEAH.
AS, AS LONG AS THE ONE WHO MADE THE MOTION IS AMENABLE TO THAT.
UH, WE DO HAVE TWO PEOPLE SIGNED UP TO SPEAK ON ITEM 31.
UH, THE FIRST BEING JOHN, IS IT MANIX? MANNING? MANNING.
I WORK ON A WITHDRAW OUR, YOUR COMMENTS OR, OKAY.
SO, UH, COMMISSIONERS, WE CAN MAKE ONE MOTION FOR CONTINUANCE ON BOTH ITEMS IF YOU LIKE.
I'LL MAKE A MOTION TO CONTINUE BOTH ITEMS. NUMBER 24 AND 31 TILL THE MAY 22ND PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING.
IT'S A RACE, UH, MOTION TO APPROVE, UH, THE A APPLICANT'S CONTINUANCE TO MAY 22ND BY VICE CHAIR PECK.
SECOND BY COMMISSIONER FAULKNER.
MY NAME IS SAMANTHA BENAVIDES, PLANNER WITH DEVELOPMENT SERVICES.
ITEM NUMBER 25 IS A REQUEST FOR APPROVAL OF A RESOLUTION TO AMEND THE WEST SOUTHWEST SECTOR PLAN.
FROM GENERAL URBAN TIER TO REGIONAL CENTER LOCATED AT 53 17 WEST COMMERCE STREET, THERE WERE 67 NOTICES MAILED ZERO IN FAVOR.
ONE OPPOSED NO REGISTERED NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATION WITHIN 200 FEET AND NO RESPONSE OUTSIDE 200 FEET.
THE APPLICANT SEEKS A PLAN AMENDMENT TO REGIONAL CENTER TO REZONE TO SEE THREE GENERAL COMMERCIAL DISTRICT.
GIVEN THE SURROUNDING RESIDENTIAL SINGLE FAMILY USES, THE PROPOSED PLAN AMENDMENT IS NOT APPROPRIATE.
THE WEST SOUTHWEST SECTOR PLAN RECOMMENDS THAT HIGH DENSITY INTENSITY LAND USES BE BUFFERED AND SCREENED TO REDUCE THE IMPACT ON LOWER DENSITY INTENSITY.
LAND USES THAT ARE NEARBY THE SUBJECT PROPERTY CURRENTLY SERVES AS A BUFFER BETWEEN RESIDENTIAL AND HIGHER INTENSE COMMERCIAL USES ALONG WEST COMMERCE.
INTRODUCING THE PROPOSED LAND USE CATEGORY OF REGIONAL CENTER WOULD INCREASE THE POTENTIAL FOR HIGHER INTENSE COMMERCIAL ENCROACHMENT INTO AN ESTABLISHED RESIDENTIAL NEIGHBORHOOD.
STAFF RECOMMENDS DENIAL AND THE APPLICANT IS HERE TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS.
[00:15:01]
TO MAKE A PRESENTATION? HI, YOU CAN JUST STATE YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS PLEASE.UM, GOOD AFTERNOON, LEON ALVAN.
UM, THE ADDRESS IS 53 17 WEST COMMERCE STREET.
UM, MY FIRST TIME, SORRY I'M KIND OF NERVOUS, BUT, UH, I BOUGHT THIS LOT BEFORE.
I CAN DO A ATHLETIC FIELD FOR THE KIDS.
I'M REALLY WITH THE ATHLETIC GROUP, ALL THE FOOTBALL CHAIR AND STUFF LIKE THAT.
I WANT TO TURN IT INTO A ATHLETIC FIELD FOR THE KIDS, BUT I KNOW IT'S C ONE.
UM, I JUST, I GUESS I CAN'T DO IT BECAUSE IT'S C ONE ON ON THE ZONING.
SO THAT'S WHY I WANNA, I WANT TO CHANGE IT UP.
I WANNA DO SOMETHING GOOD FOR THE, SO, OKAY.
UH, WE'LL START WITH COMMISSIONER QUESTIONS ON MY RIGHT.
COMMISSIONER SIPES, NO QUESTIONS.
COMMISSIONER ZUKI, UH, CITY STAFF HAVE RECOMMENDED, UH, OTHER, UH, UH, ZONING THAT MIGHT WORK WITH YOU, BUT YOU STILL HAVEN'T 3D UH, LOOKING IN THAT OPTIONS WITH THEM, UH, HAVE YOU, UH, TALKED TO THE STAFF ABOUT WHAT WOULD BE OTHER OPTIONS RATHER THAN C3 THAT COULD WORK WITH THE INTENTIONS OF YOUR ACTIVITY THAT YOU'RE PLANNING TO WORK WITH? UM, I HARDLY COULD HEAR YOU.
HAVE YOU WORKED WITH THE CITY STAFF OF OTHER OPTIONS THAT MIGHT WORK WITH THE INTENTIONS OF YOUR WELL, THERE'S THE CAR WASH RIGHT IN FRONT AND I'M LIKE ON THE PROCESS OF BUYING IT AND IT'S C3 AS WELL.
UH, I DON'T WANNA SPEND MORE MONEY TO TRY TO REZONE THAT TOO AS WELL, BUT ONCE I BUY THAT CAR WASH, I'M GONNA USE IT AS PARKING.
SO IS IT A PARKING OR IT IS A KIDS' ACTIVITIES? WELL, UM, I NEED PARKING FOR THE, FOR THE PARENTS AND STUFF, SO, UM, I'M ABOUT TO BUILD A GYM AS WELL, SO I NEED ENOUGH PARKING.
SO I GUESS THIS IS A QUESTION FOR STAFF, WHICH WAS, YOU KNOW, WHAT, WHAT OTHER ALTERNATIVES ARE THERE TO DO? PLAYING FIELDS AND PARKING PERIOD? SO THE USE, UM, WHAT HE IS RECOMMEND, WHAT HE'S REQUESTING IS FOR THE SPORTS COURTS, BUT THEY'RE OUTDOOR, WHICH IS PERMITTED BY C3 NC THREE.
BUT WE HAVE RECOMMENDED, UM, OR WE HAVE MENTIONED USING A C ONE OR A C TWO, WHICH IS A LOWER INTENSE DISTRICT THAT HE COULD USE AND ADD A SPECIFIC USE AUTHORIZATION FOR THE OUTDOOR COURTS.
UM, AND THEN AS FOR THE PARKING, UH, A NON-COMMERCIAL PARKING LOT AS AN ACCESSORY USE FOR THE MAIN SPORT COURT USE IS PERMITTED BY RIGHT IN THE C3, C TWO C ONE DISTRICTS.
SO, MR. GALVAN, HAD YOU DISCUSSED THAT WITH THEM? THAT YOU COULD HAVE YOUR, YOUR PLAYING FIELDS AND PARKING AS A CONDITIONAL USE? I, I JUST DON'T WANNA SPEND MORE MONEY TO REZONE THE OTHER, THE CAR WASH.
SO I DON'T, I DON'T WHAT'S THE CAR WASH ZONED AT C3? IT IS C3, BUT IT WOULD NOT NEED TO BE REZONED.
WOULD THAT FIX IT THEN? YEAH, PRETTY MUCH WHAT WE WERE TOLD THAT HE WANTS TO MAKE IT CONSISTENT FOR THE ENTIRE PROPERTY, CORRECT, YES.
I DON'T WANT IT TO BE DIFFERENT.
WELL, AS STEPH HAS SAID IT, IT DOES, IT IS NOT REALLY CONSISTENT TO HAVE THAT HIGH USE WHEN YOU'RE SURROUNDED BY NEIGHBORHOOD.
AND GIVEN THAT THE USE THAT YOU'RE PROPOSING DOES SOUND LIKE A REASONABLE USE TO HAVE WITH KIDS, IF YOU COULD ACCOMPLISH IT WITH A CONDITIONAL AND YOU WOULDN'T HAVE TO DO ANYTHING ELSE.
SO I, I DON'T KNOW WHERE TO COME FROM.
I MEAN, WHERE TO MY FIRST TIME.
SO WELL THAT'S, THAT'S WHAT I WOULD, WOULD GO FOR.
I DON'T SEE THAT YOU NEED TO HAVE THE C3 FOR WHAT YOU WANNA DO, SO I WOULD VOTE AGAINST IT.
UM, AND SUGGEST THAT YOU TAKE THE STAFF RECOMMENDATION.
COMMISSIONER SIEGEL, NO QUESTIONS.
[00:20:01]
ECHO WHAT COMMISSIONER MILAM SAID, I THINK YOU NEED TO MEET WITH STAFF AND, AND SOUNDS LIKE THERE'S AN AVENUE TO DO WHAT YOU NEED TO DO WITHOUT DOING A PLAN AMENDMENT AND WITHOUT I GUESS REZONING ANYTHING, RIGHT? NO, HE WOULD NEED TO REZONE.REZONE TO WHAT? COMMISSIONER? UM, EITHER A C ONE OR A C TWO WITH A SPECIFIC USE FOR THE OUTDOOR FIELDS.
BECAUSE IT'S A C ONE NOW, RIGHT? CORRECT.
SO YOU JUST NEED A SPECIFIC USE.
HE WOULD NEED TO REZONE TO ADD THAT SPECIFIC USE.
BUT, BUT THEN YOU WOULDN'T NEED THE REGIONAL CENTER LAND USE DESIGNATION.
HE WOULD NOT NEED THE PLAN AMENDMENT.
I WOULD TALK TO STAFF AND GET WHATEVER AVENUE THAT IS WORKED OUT.
'CAUSE WE'RE GONNA DENY YOUR REGIONAL CENTER PRETTY MUCH.
I THINK COMMISSIONER FAULKNER, I WOULD JUST ECHO WHAT THE OTHER, THE OTHER COMMISSIONERS HAVE SAID AS WELL.
COMMISSIONER ROETT, I TEND TO SUPPORT THE STAFF AS WELL.
COMMISSIONER LOPEZ? NO COMMENT.
SO YOU UNDERSTAND THAT, UH, WELL FIRST OF ALL, THE QUESTION FOR STAFF.
SO HIS CAR WASH, CORRECT? MM-HMM.
RIGHT? IS IS IT ADJACENT? IT'S GENERAL URBAN TIER, IS THAT CORRECT? THE PROPERTY IS ALL GENERAL URBAN TIER.
THE ZONING DISTRICT DOESN'T ALWAYS ALIGN WITH THAT.
SO AT THIS MOMENT, THE C3, WHICH IS EXISTING, WE WOULD NOT CHANGE, BUT IT IS SOMEWHAT, UM, A NON-CONFORMING OKAY.
UM, YEAH, I AGREE WITH WHAT THE COMMISSIONER SAID.
I THINK, UM, YOU CAN ACCOMPLISH WHAT YOU NEED TO ACCOMPLISH AND WE CAN RETAIN WE THE CURRENT PLAN USE.
UM, I'M THINK THAT THEY'LL BE HAPPY TO DISCUSS THAT WITH YOU.
BUT JUST GET WITH THE CITY SO YOU GONNA UNDERSTAND WHAT THE PROCESS IS.
WITH THAT, I'LL, UH, NO MORE DISCUSSION.
IS THERE A MOTION I MAKE A MOTION TO UPHOLD STAFF'S RECOMMENDATION OF DENIAL? SECOND.
VICE CHAIRMAN PECK FOR DENIAL OF APPLICANT.
MY QUESTION, IF WE MAKE A RECOMMENDATION NOW, WOULD HE STILL HAVE THE CHANCE TO TALK TO THE STAFF TO CHANGE HIS YES.
ANY RECOMMENDATION NOW? THERE IS STILL TIME, CORRECT.
SO WE HAVE A MOTION AND A SECOND FOR DENIAL.
WHO IS THE SECOND, UH, COMMISSIONER MILAM.
OR FALL? WHO WANTS IT? COMMISSIONER PICK.
[Approval of Minutes ]
I AM 32.ARE THE MINUTES FROM THE LAST PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING.
ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION OR CORRECTIONS NEED TO BE MADE TO THE MINUTES? HEARING NONE.
SECOND, MOVE TO APPROVE THE MINUTES.
MOTION TO APPROVE MINUTES BY COMMISSIONER SIEGEL.
[Director’s Report ]
DIRECTOR'S REPORT.I'LL TRY TO KEEP IT UNDER THREE MINUTES.
DO YOU HAVE THE ADDRESS FOR THE RECORD PLEASE?
UH, WE HAVE, UH, NEXT MEETING.
WE'LL HAVE A COUPLE, UH, OTHER ITEMS, HOUSEKEEPING ON THE AGENDA.
THE FIRST, UH, IS GONNA BE THE ELECTION OF OFFICERS THAT I MENTIONED IN THE WORK SESSION.
UH, SO I'LL GO AHEAD AND CONDUCT THAT AT THE BEGINNING OF THAT MEETING SO WE CAN GET THAT OUTTA THE WAY.
UM, WE'RE ALSO GONNA, I WANTED TO GIVE YOU A QUICK UPDATE ON THE PLANNING COMMISSION'S TECHNICAL ADVISORY COMMITTEE.
SO AGAIN, THAT IS THE COMMITTEE THAT REVIEWS BOTH AMENDMENTS TO THE MAJOR THOROUGHFARE PLAN AS WELL AS UNIFIED DEVELOPMENT CODE AMENDMENTS.
UH, WE HAVE 16 POSITIONS ARE NOW EXPIRED ON THAT BOARD.
UM, SOME OF THOSE, UH, EXPIRED IN JANUARY.
A SMALL NUMBER EXPIRED IN APRIL AND THE BULK EXPIRED IN MAY.
UM, IT'S A LOT OF THE COMMUNITY MEMBERS, UH, YOU MAY RECALL, UM,
[00:25:01]
BEFORE WE WENT INTO THE 2021 UNIFIED DEVELOPMENT CODE UPDATE, CITY COUNCIL HAD MADE A REQUEST TO ADD SOME POSITIONS.I THINK WE ALSO SPLIT THE HISTORIC AND ENVIRONMENTAL SO THAT THOSE WERE TWO VERY DISTINCT, UH, REPRESENTATIVES ON THE BOARD.
UH, AND THIS IS WHERE THOSE POSITIONS ARE EXPIRING.
UH, ABOUT, UH, 15 MINUTES AGO, THE, THE DEPARTMENT'S, UH, E-BLAST WENT OUT ON ESSAY SPEAKUP ADVERTISING THAT FOLKS CAN APPLY.
WE'RE ALSO INDIVIDUALLY EMAILING THE MEMBERS THAT ARE EXPIRING THEM, ASKING 'EM IF THEY'D LIKE TO REAPPLY WITH THE LINK TO DO SO.
UM, THAT WINDOW WILL CLOSE JUNE 10TH.
SO TO HELP FACILITATE THAT PROCESS, WE'RE ALSO GONNA HAVE AN ITEM ON NEXT, UH, PLANNING COMMISSION'S AGENDA FOR THE PLANNING COMMISSION TO NOMINATE A NOMINATING COMMITTEE.
UM, THE EXISTING COMMITTEE EXPIRES IN ABOUT FOUR OR FIVE DAYS OF THE MEMBERS THAT WAS ON THAT IS NO LONGER WITH THE PLANNING COMMISSION.
SO WE'LL HAVE AN ITEM ON THE AGENDA TO DO THAT.
AGAIN, THE PURPOSE OF THE NOMINATING COMMITTEE IS TO REVIEW THE APPLICATIONS FOR THOSE POSITIONS TO TACK AND THEN CONDUCT INTERVIEWS IF THEY DETERMINE IT IS NECESSARY.
AND THEN FORWARD A RECOMMENDATION TO THE FULL PLANNING COMMISSION BODY, UH, SO THAT Y'ALL CAN MAKE, UH, AN INFORMED DECISION.
SO A COUPLE EXTRA ITEMS ON THE NEXT AGENDA.
I THINK THAT'S ALL FOR ME, UNLESS THERE'S ANY QUESTIONS, ANY QUESTIONS? I DON'T THINK WAS THAT LONGER THAN THREE MINUTES? IT WAS CLOSE.
BE HONEST AGAIN, UH, YOU KNOW, ALL THE FINE PEOPLE WATCHING ON TV SA, YOU KNOW, GET INVOLVED AND, AND GET INVOLVED WITH THE, THE P TAC COMMITTEE IS A GREAT OPPORTUNITY TO GET INVOLVED WITH THE CITY.
IT'S TWO 30 AND WE ARE ADJOURNED.
