[00:05:01]
18 EMPTIESS MAILED, THREE IN FAVOR, ONE OPPOSED. WEST FORT ALLIANCE NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATION IS IN FAVOR WITH CONDITIONS AND THIS WILL REQUIRE NINE VOTESAS THE OPPOSITION EXCEEDS 20%. >> MAYOR NIRENBERG: WE HAVE A FEW FOLKS SIGNED UP TO SPEAK ON ITEM NUMBER 6. I'LL TAKE THEM FIRST.
START WITH PRISCILLA COMACHO. >> GOOD AFTERNOON, MAYOR AND COUNCILMEMBERS. I'M THE CHIEF LEGISLATIVE INDUSTRY AND EXTERNAL RELATIONS OFFICER FOR THE ALAMO COLLEGES DISTRICT AND ON BEHALF OF OUR CHANCELLOR WE UNFORTUNATELY AND RESPECTFULLY RAISE OUR OPPOSITION TO THIS REQUEST.
MANY OF YOU HAVE BEEN TO OUR DISTRICT OFFICES. IT'S A BEAUTIFUL OPEN SPACE.
WE HAVE A LOT OF COMMUNITY MEETINGS. WE HAVE PROBABLY ROUGHLY 7500 TO 10,000 INDIVIDUALS WHO PRACTICETAKE IN EVENTS -- PARTAKE IN EVENTS.
ONE OF THE CONCERNS WE HAVE RAISED TIME AND AGAIN WITH THE DEVELOPER IS THE ISSUE OF SMOKE COMING FROM THE RESTAURANT PLANNED FOR THE DEVELOPMENT THERE.
WE HAVE ASKED FOR A SCRUBBER TO BE INSTALLED. THEY HAVE USED THEM IN THE PAST. IN FACT, THEY USE IT IN THEIR AUSTIN LOCATION, AND WE HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO GET CONFIRMATION IN WRITING THEY WILL INSTALL THAT.
FOR US THIS IS A HEALTH ISSUE FOR NOT ONLY OUR STAFF BUT GUESTS.
IT'S A SAFETY ISSUE. WE EXPERIENCE WHAT WE KNOW IS PARKING ISSUES, BUT OUR PRIMARY CONCERN IS THE SMOKE THAT WILL BE COMING DIRECTLY ACROSS BECAUSE WE ARE GOING TO BE RIGHT ACROSS, IF YOU LOOK AT THAT MAP, RIGHT ACROSS THE STREET FROM THIS PARTICULAR ESTABLISHMENT. SO FOR US THAT IS THE REASON WHY WE ARE OPPOSING THE REQUEST AT THIS TIME. WITH THAT, MAYOR, I CLOSE MY COMMENTS.
>> MAYOR NIRENBERG: THANK YOU. ROSS LAWHEAD.
YOU WILL BE FOLLOWED BY EMILY WEISSLER. >> MR. MAYOR, COUNCILPERSONS, I LIVE AT 5975 LOCK HILL ROAD AND I OFFICE AT 2222 NORTH ALAMO STREET AT THE INTERSECTION OF ALAMO AND BROADWAY. I'M FOLLOWING UP ON MS. COMACHO'S REMARKS. THE THING WE REALLY NEED TO EMPHASIZE, WE'RE UNIQUELY AFFECTED BY THIS. ALTHOUGH WE FULLY SUPPORT THE NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATION, THEIR INTERESTS ARE VERY DIFFERENT FROM OURS.
BY THIS REZONING THEY GAIN GREAT PARKING RELIEF, BUT BY THIS REZONING THE MATTER PROCEEDS AND WE WILL BE SMOKED OUT. I WOULD LIKE TO CALL TO YOUR ATTENTION THE FACT THIS CAME UP AT THE SAME GROUP'S FACILITY IN AUSTIN, AND THEY ENDED UP BEING SUED BY INDIVIDUALS WHOSE HOUSES WERE RUINED BY THE SMOKE AND EVENTUALLY THEY INSTALLED THE VERY SCRUBBERS THAT WE'RE ASKING FOR.
SUBSEQUENTLY ONE OF THE BROTHERS WHO IS A PRINCIPAL IN THIS ORGANIZATION POSTED ONLINE A LAUDTORY DESCRIPTION OF HOW WONDERFUL THEIR SCRUBBERS WERE, HOW WONDERFUL AND SUCCESSFUL THEY WERE AND WEREN'T A PROBLEM.
BUT SOMEHOW WHAT WAS GOOD ENOUGH FOR AUSTIN ISN'T GOOD ENOUGH FOR SAN ANTONIO.
I THINK THEY ARE PLAYING HARD BALL BECAUSE THEY KNOW THE NEIGHBORHOOD NEEDS THE PARKING RELIEF AND WOULD ASK YOU TO CONSIDER A PARTNERSHIP WITH THE COLLEGE
DISTRICT AND ITS INTERESTS. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. >> MAYOR NIRENBERG: THANK
YOU. EMILY WEISSLER. >> GOOD AFTERNOON, MAYOR AND COUNCIL. I DON'T HAVE ANYTHING TO ADD, BUT WE'RE AVAILABLE FOR ANY QUESTIONS AS THE APPLICANT ON THIS PROJECT. THANK YOU.
>> MAYOR NIRENBERG: THANK YOU, MS. WEISSLER. COUNCILMEMBER
MCKEE-RODRIGUEZ. >> MCKEE-RODRIGUEZ: THANK YOU, MAYOR.
THANK YOU TO EVERYONE WHO CAME TO SPEAK. I WANT TO RECOGNIZE THE EXCEPTIONAL EFFORTS TERI BLACK'S BARBECUE AND THE HAVE MO WORK WITH THE NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATION. TOGETHER THEY ADDRESSED CONCERNS ABOUT HIGH PARKING, FACADE IMPROVEMENT, LIGHTING, DUMPSTER MAINTENANCE AND OTHER ITEMS MENTIONED IN THEIR LETTER OF SUPPORT. I'M HAPPY TO SEE DEVELOPERS WORKING ALONGSIDE DISTRICT 2 NEIGHBORS. THIS CASE REQUIRES SUPER MAJORITY FOR APPROVAL BECAUSE THE ALAMO COMMUNITY COLLEGE HAS REGISTERED OPPOSITION AND I AM SYMPATHETIC TO THEIR CONCERNS.
I LOVE A RACK OF RIBS, BUT I'M NOT SURE I WOULD WANT TO SMELL BARBECUE EIGHT HOURS A DAY AND I UNDERSTAND THE CONCERNS ABOUT AIR QUALITY. MY STAFF HAS TALKED WITH THEM AND THEY'VE MADE IT CLEAR THEIR OPPOSITION MAINLY RESTS TO A LACK OF COMMITMENT ON A SCRUBBER. ONE, THE APPLICANT HAS THE LEGAL ABILITY TO OPEN A RESTAURANT ON THE PROPERTY. THE ZONING REQUEST CHANGE IS ONLY TO ALLOW FOR THE USE OF THE HOTEL. AND REGARDLESS OF WHETHER WE APPROVE OR DENY, TERI
[00:10:05]
BLACK'S HAS THE RIGHT TO OPEN A RESTAURANT AT THAT LOCATION AND I WANT TO EMPHASIZE THEY CAN DO THAT WITHOUT ANY OF THE CONDITIONS THE NEIGHBORHOOD WORKED HARD TO SECURE SUCH AS PARKING,KI LIGHTING AND ALL THE OTHERS.I DON'T SEE IT BEING PRODUCTIVE FOR US OR ALAMO TO DENY THE REQUEST.
CAN THE APPLICANT CONFIRM THIS FOR THE RECORD? >> GOOD AFTERNOON, COUNCIL.
ASHLEY, ON BEHALF OF THE APPLICANT. YES, THE INFRASTRUCTURE FOR SCRUBBERS WILL BE INSTALLED. IT'S A COMMITMENT WE MADE TO THE NEIGHBORHOOD AND ALAMO COMMUNITY COLLEGES THAT IF THERE IS A NUISANCE CONCERN IN THE FUTURE, THE UTILITIES AND OTHER CONSTRUCTION WILL BE DONE IN A WAY THOSE SMOKERS CAN BE INSTALLED.
THE PROPOSED HOTEL, WHICH IS THE PURPOSE OF THE ZONING, WILL SEPARATE THE RESTAURANT FROM ALAMO COMMUNITY COLLEGE. SO IF ANYONE IS IMPACTED THE
FIRST PEOPLE WILL BE THE HOTEL GUESTS. >> MCKEE-RODRIGUEZ: TO MAKE SURE THE RESTAURANT IS NOT TO INSTALL A SMOKE SCRUBBER. I'LL POINT OUT TERI BLACK'S WAS AN INCENTIVE BECAUSE IT WOULD LIKELY IMPACT HOTEL RESTAURANTS AND THE ABILITY TO ATTRACT HOTEL CLIENTS AND PATRONS. I DON'T THINK IT'S EXAGGERATION TO SAY THE VIABILITY OF THE HOTEL DEPENDS ON THEM MITIGATING SMOKE.
IT'S SOMETHING WE'LL FOLLOW UP ON. I WOULD ENCOURAGE TERI BLACK 'S BARBECUE TO BE A GOOD NEIGHBOR AND IF THERE ARE CONCERNS THEY ADDRESS THOSE CONCERNS. THAT'S GOING TO BE VERY IMPORTANT.
WITH THAT SAID, I ASK FOR MY COLLEAGUES' APPROVAL OF THE YAYS.
>> MAYOR NIRENBERG: THERE'S A MOTION AND SECOND FOR APPROVAL OF ITEM NUMBER
6. COUNCILMEMBER PELÁEZ. >> PELÁEZ: YEAH, I CAN'T SUPPORT THIS ONE. I KNOW YOU HAVE A SUPER MAJORITY, BUT I THINK YOU AND I BOTH LIVED THROUGH THE [INAUDIBLE] SCANDAL ON RIGSBY.
IS THAT RIGHT? WERE YOU HERE FOR THAT? AND THEN COUNCILMEMBER VIAGRAN AND I HAD TO LOCK HORNS OVER THIS BECAUSE I REPRESENTED THE RESTAURANT.
VERY SIMILAR COMPLAINTS. THEY WERE BARBECUING CHICKEN.
THE NEIGHBORS WERE COMPLAINING ABOUT NOT JUST SMELLS BUT GREASE ON CARS, CLOTHES, HOMES AND IT SMELLED RANCID AND NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE TO GET OFF THE BUILDINGS AND THE GLASS. I ANTICIPATE YOU GUYS ARE GOING TO HAVE TO INSTALL A SCRUBBER AND I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY YOU ARE NOT DOING THAT NOW.
I UNDERSTAND YOU ARE PUTTING IN THE INFRASTRUCTURE, BUT A SMOKE SCRUBBER ADAPTER, THOSE ARE REALLY CHEAP, THAT'S NOT MUCH. AND I'M LOOKING AT THE WEBSITE WHERE TERI BLACK'S THEMSELVES SAY, YOU KNOW, THEY ANSWER A QUESTION DO SCRUBBERS WORK, YEAH, THE SMOKE GOES IN AND COMES OUT STEAM.
IT'S A WHOLE WEBSITE DEDICATED THEY ARE PROUD TO BE THE ONLY SMOKE INSTALLED SCRUBBER. YOU ARE NOT GOING TO GET MY SUPPORT ON THIS.
THANK YOU. >> MAYOR NIRENBERG: THANK YOU, COUNCILMEMBER PELÁEZ.
COUNCILMEMBER COURAGE. >> COURAGE: I'M GOING TO CONCUR WITH MY COUNCILMEMBER PELÁEZ ABOUT THIS. I THINK IT'S SOMETHING THEY SHOULD HAVE AGREED TO TAKE CARE OF UP FRONT AND I WON'T BE VOTING IN SUPPORT OF IT EITHER.
>> MAYOR NIRENBERG: THANK YOU, COUNCILMEMBER COURAGE. ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION ON THIS ITEM? COUNCILMEMBER MCKEE-RODRIGUEZ.
>> MCKEE-RODRIGUEZ: FOR SURE I JUST WANT TO PREVENT ANY DISINGENUOUS VOTES.
MY QUESTION IS WITH THE ZONING AS IT IS, CAN THEY PUT UP THE RESTAURANT
WITHOUT THE SCRUBBER? >> THEY CAN PUT UP THE RESTAURANT AND IN ADDITION TO THAT THE IDZ DOES WAIVE -- THE CURRENT DOES WAIVE PARKING TOTALLY.
WITH THE PROPOSED IDZ2, THEY ARE REQUIRED TO PROVIDE 50% OF PARKING DEPENDING ON
USES. >> MCKEE-RODRIGUEZ: IN ADDITION TO NOT STOPPING THE RESTAURANT FROM BEING BUILT ANYWAY, A NO VOTE ALSO PREVENTS A LOT OF THE BENEFITS THAT OUR NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATION REALLY WORKED HARD FOR.
I WANT TO POSE THAT FOR MY COLLEAGUES, LET YOU ALL VOTE HOW YOU ALL WILL, BUT I ASK THE REST OF MY COLLEAGUES TO SUPPORT. THANK YOU.
>> MAYOR NIRENBERG: THANK YOU, COUNCILMEMBER MCKEE-RODRIGUEZ.
[00:15:03]
WHAT'S HAPPENING WITH THE ZONING CHANGE. CAN I ASK REPRESENTATIVES TO COME FORWARD BECAUSE THERE WAS A COUPLE COMMENTS IT LOOKED LIKE YOU WANTED TO RESPOND TO. MY UNDERSTANDING THE ISSUE WITH THE SMOKE, YOU ARE INSTALLING THE INFRASTRUCTURE TO BUILD A SCRUBBER.>> IF IT'S NEEDED, YES, MAYOR. >> MAYOR NIRENBERG: WELL, YOU KNOW, WHAT WAS STATED WAS THAT IF THE COMMUNITY HEARS CONCERNS ABOUT THE SMOKE, YOU ARE PREPARED. THE APPLICANT IS PREPARED TO INSTALL A SCRUBBER.
I THINK YOU ARE HEARING CONCERNS. >> YES.
>> MAYOR NIRENBERG: HOW DO YOU DEFINE COMMUNITY? DOES THAT INCLUDE THE COMMUNITY OF THE COLLEGE CAMPUS AS WELL AS THE EVENTS THAT WILL BE HELD AT THAT OPEN-AIR FACILITY THAT'S GOING TO BE TAKING THE PREVAILING WINDS IN?
>> TERI BLACK WANTS TO BE GOOD NEIGHBORS. THE SCRUBBERS IMPACT HOW THEY COOK THE FOOD SO IT'S NOT JUST A COST, IT'S AN IMPACT TO HOW THEY OPERATE.
THEY ARE A MAINTENANCE CONCERN, BUT IF ITS IMPACTING OTHERS, THEY WILL INSTALL THE SCRUBBERS. THEY ONLY HAVE SCRUBBERS AT ONE LOCATION AND THAT IS THE ONE IN AUSTIN AND THAT IS WHERE THE RESTAURANT IS LOCATED BASICALLY RIGHT UNDER HOMES. SO THE SMOKE GOES UP AND THE HOMES ARE ABOVE.
THAT'S WHERE THEY STALLED THE SCRUBBERS. THERE'S OTHER LOCATIONS IN URBAN AREAS, MAYBE LESS URBAN, AND THEY DON'T HAVE THE SCRUBBERS AND THEY DON'T
HAVE COMPLAINTS. >> MAYOR NIRENBERG: OKAY. AGAIN, THE -- I'M HEARING THE COMMENTS AND BASED ON THE COMMENTS I HAVE CONCERNS.
SO IF WOULD PLEASE EXTEND THAT TO THE APPLICANT THAT WE DO EXPECT THEM TO FOLLOW UP ON THOSE CONCERNS, IF AND WHEN THEY ARE MADE APPARENT. SO THIS IS MORE A CITY STAFF QUESTION. THERE ARE NUISANCE REGULATIONS WITH RESPECT TO
SMOKE, CORRECT? >> YES, MAYOR AND COUNCIL. IF WE GET COMPLAINTS ABOUT ANY SMOKE, WE WORK WITH TCEQ, THEY TAKE READINGS. THERE ARE THRESHOLDS FOR AIR QUALITY. THAT'S WHAT HAPPENED WITH THE OTHER RESTAURANT THAT WAS DESCRIBED BY COUNCILMEMBER PELÁEZ. SO IF THEY DON'T MEET THOSE STANDARDS SHE THEY HAVE TO INSTALL EITHER SCRUBBERS OR DO SOMETHING ELSE TO
MITIGATE OR BRING DOWN TO LEVELS THE STATE REQUIRES. >> MAYOR NIRENBERG: OKAY.
SO BASED ON THE COMMENTS AND THE HARD WORK THAT THE COUNCILMAN HAS PUT IN WITH THE COMMUNITY ON THIS ISSUE, I AM GOING TO TAKE ON -- AGAIN, THAT WE'RE ALL TALKING IN GOOD FAITH AND THAT THERE IS A CLEAR COMMITMENT FROM THE APPLICANT THAT IF AND WHEN THERE'S AN ISSUE, THEY ARE GOING TO ADDRESS IT.
I WOULD JUST LIKE TO SAY I'M MAKING THOSE STATEMENTS ON MY OWN BEHALF AS MAYOR OF THE CITY, AS A NEIGHBOR TO THESE AREAS. WE LOOK FORWARD TO TERI BLACK'S COMING INTO THE COMMUNITY AND TO THE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT THAT'S WELL DESERVED IN THIS AREA AND LET'S ALL DO THIS TOGETHER IN GOOD FAITH.
I'LL SUPPORT THE MOTION AND IS THERE ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION ON THIS? OKAY. HEARING NONE, THERE'S A MOTION AND SECOND FOR APPROVAL OF ITEM 6. PLEASE VOTE. MOTION CARRIES.
MOVE TO ITEM -- >> CLERK: 9 AND 10? >> MAYOR NIRENBERG: THANK

THE REZONING REQUEST. >> MAYOR NIRENBERG: OKAY. THIS IS ITEM -- EXCUSE ME,

ITEM 18. >> CLERK: 32 NOTICES MAILED, ZERO IN FAVOR, ZERO OPPOSED. HISTORIC WESTSIDE
NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATION IS IN FAVOR. >> MAYOR NIRENBERG:
COUNCILMEMBER CASTILLO. >> CASTILLO: I WANTED TO THANK THE RESIDENTS OZARKS AS WELL AS ZONING STAFF AND EMILY WHO IS REPRESENTING THE APPLICANT.
THE CESAR CHAVEZ ASSOCIATION HAS BEEN WORKING TO BRING DEEPLY AFFORDABLE SENIOR HOUSING INTO THE AREA. THE IDZ ENSURES WE CAN PUT THAT MONEY INTO UNITS RATHER THAN PARKING SPOTS FOR CARS. THIS IS ON THE PROPOSED SILVER LINE SO WE'RE EXCITED TO SUPPORT THIS ITEM AND WITH THAT I MOVE TO APPROVE ITEM 18.
>> MAYOR NIRENBERG: THERE'S A MOTION AND SECOND FOR APPROVAL OF ITEM 18.
ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION? HEARING NONE, PLEASE VOTE. MOTION CARRIES.
