UM, AND SO THEREFORE I SUPPORT THE APPROVAL OF THE CUSTOMIZED POD BOUNDARY MAPS CURRENTLY ON SA SPEAKUP.
UM, AND THOSE ARE RECOMMENDED BY THE POD TASK FORCE.

I'VE LIVED IN THE MONTE VISTA AREA SINCE 1987 AND UH, I WANTED TO PRESENT A, A COUPLE OF COMMENTS IN REGARD TO THE PLANNING COMMISSION TECHNICAL ADVISORY COMMITTEE.
ONE, I REALLY SUPPORT THE APPROVAL OF THE CUSTOMIZED TOD BOUNDARY MAPS THAT WERE ALREADY RECOMMENDED FOR APPROVAL BY SSA'S TOD TASK FORCE.
UH, I REALLY, UH, THINK THAT SINCE I ATTENDED THE MEETING AT TRINITY AND ONE OF THE CITY PLANNERS, I THINK KAT FERNANDO MENTIONED THAT HOUSE, UH, RESIDENTIAL PROPERTIES LESS THAN A HALF AN ACRE WERE PROTECTED.
I THINK ALL RESIDENTIAL PROPERTIES, AT LEAST HOMESTEADS SHOULD BE PROTECTED.
AND, UH, I ALSO, UH, THINK THAT DOESN'T MAKE SENSE TO ONLY DO TO SOME HOUSING AND NOT OTHERS.
UH, SHE POTENTIALLY, UH, SHE MADE THE COMMENT THAT THE PLAN INVOLVED THIS, UH, CHANGEOVER OF THE PROPERTIES OF A, OF A GREATER THAN A HALF AN ACRE THAT WE'RE NOT UNDER REZONING, BUT SOME OTHER,
[00:50:01]
WHAT THAT SOUNDS LIKE DEFACTO REZONING THAT ALLOWS A DIFFERENT PROCESS TO OVERRIDE THE REZONING.AND I THINK IT'S SEEMS DISINGENUOUS THAT IT'S NOT MORE TRANSPARENT.
I ALSO SUPPORT THE APPROVAL OF A SPECIAL, SPECIAL AUTHORIZATION REQUIREMENT FOR THE USE OF ALCOHOL IN CONNOR CALLING.
I'M THE FORMER CITY COUNCILWOMAN OF DISTRICT EIGHT.
I REMAIN ACTIVE IN WHAT IS HAPPENING IN OUR CITY.

HI, THIS IS ROGER CHETO AND THESE COMMENTS ARE REGARDING ITEM NUMBER TWO, THE PROPOSED TOD AMENDMENTS AFFECTING THE MONTE VISTA HISTORICAL DISTRICT.
I MAY BE REACHED AT 2 1 0 8 0 5 0 8 4 6.
MY WIFE LAURA, AND I ARE LUCKY ENOUGH TO LIVE IN WHAT WAS A LUCCHESE FAMILY HOUSE AT 1 26 EAST LONGWOOD.
WE AND MANY OF OUR NEIGHBORS FEEL THAT IT'S OUR RESPONSIBILITY TO PRESERVE THESE HOUSES WITH THEIR DEEP CONNECTIONS TO SAN ANTONIO'S HISTORY.
IN SA WE FIND SO MANY MISS PERIOD, SO WELL PRESERVED.
OURS AND A GREAT MANY OTHERS ARE COTTAGES, NOT MANSIONS INHABITED BY MIDDLE CLASS FAMILIES.
MY PLEA IS TO NOT DEGRADE WHAT MAKES THIS NEIGHBORHOOD SO SIGNIFICANT.
SPECIFICALLY, I'M CONCERNED ABOUT ADDING HIGH DENSITY HOUSING AND MAKING IT EASIER TO CONVERT THESE RESIDENCES INTO COMMERCIAL VENTURES, WHICH WOULD FURTHER ENCOURAGE THE STRINGS OF CARS FLEEING THE POTENTIAL NEW CONGESTION ON SAN PEDRO.
IF YOU HAVE ANY DOUBTS ABOUT WHAT I SAY, PLEASE STROLL LOW WOOD OR THE OTHER STREETS OF MONTE VISTA.
YOU'LL FIND THAT EVERY HOUSE IS DIFFERENT FULL OF CHARACTER AND IN A NEIGHBORHOOD WELL WORTH DESERVING.
MY NAME IS STEVE STEIG, 1 0 5 RENO STREET.
I'M A BOARD MEMBER OF GOVERNMENT HILL TOMORROW AND A TIER ONE NEIGHBORHOOD COALITION HEARING COMMITTEE MEMBER.
I'M CALLING WITH MY COMMENTS ON THE TODD AMEN.
URBAN NEIGHBORHOODS ARE NOT PROTECTED BY GATES AND DEED RESTRICTIONS.
THE USE OF STATE ZONING LAWS ARE WHAT PROTECTS INVASIVE DEVELOPMENT
[01:20:01]
INTO SINGLE FAMILY NEIGHBORHOODS LIKE MINE AND MANY OTHERS.ENCOURAGING DEVELOPMENT THAT PROMOTES PUBLIC TRANSIT USE IS AN UNDERSTANDABLE GOAL.
I THINK WE NEED TO REMEMBER THAT MOST HARDWORKING URBAN FAMILIES HAVE BUSY LIVES WITH CHILDREN AND PAYING BILLS.
WHILE THE CITY HAS MADE GREAT EFFORTS TO GET INPUT ON THE TODD, IT HAS BEEN A FRACTION OF WHAT THE PUBLIC THINKS ABOUT THIS.
OUR UDC CAN BE CHANGED IN JUST THREE YEARS, AND THEN IN FIVE YEARS AGAIN, DO WE WANT TO DO HARM TO SINGLE FAMILY NEIGHBORHOODS AND THEN SAY, EIGHT YEARS FROM NOW, OOPS.
IF THE TODD DISTRICT NEEDS TO ALLOW MORE, WE CAN ADD THAT AT A LATER DATE.
I SUPPORT THE APPROVAL OF THE CUSTOMIZED TODD BOUNDARY MAPS AS RECOMMENDED BY THE TODD TASK FORCE.
I SUPPORT THE EXCLUSION OF ALL SINGLE FAMILY ZONE PROPERTIES REGARDLESS OF SIZE FROM TODD.
THE SIZE RESTRICTION CAN BE EASILY CIRCUMVENTED BY BUYING MULTIPLY PROPERTIES AND REPL INTO ONE LARGER SINGLE FAMILY.
ZONING WITHIN THE TODD MAP CAN STILL BE CHANGED BY THE STANDARD ZONING PROCESS.
I SUPPORT APPROVAL OF A SPECIAL AUTHORIZATION REQUIREMENT FOR THE USE OF ALCOHOL IN TODD DISTRICTS.
A SPECIAL AUTHORIZATION ALLOWS THE NEIGHBORHOOD TO VOICE AN OPINION ON LIFE SAFETY ISSUES DURING THE REZONING PROCESS.
ALCOHOL USES CAN STILL BE ZONED BY THE STANDARD ZONING PROCESS.
THE TODD IS CREATING GREAT AMOUNT OF OPPORTUNITY ALREADY WITHOUT INCLUDING SINGLE FAMILY AND ALCOHOL, WE CAN AT LEAST WAIT.
UH, I AM FOLLOWING WITH COMMENTS ON THE TOD AMENDMENT.
UH, MY NAME IS LYNN BOYD THIRD, AND I RESIDE AT 1 4 3 EAST AGARITA AVENUE, SAN ANTONIO, TEXAS 7 8 2 1 2.
I CURRENTLY SERVE AS PRESIDENT OF MONTE VISTA, HISTORIC ASSOCIATION FOR 2024.
UM, I WELCOME DEVELOPMENT THAT BRINGS NEW RESIDENTS AND BUSINESSES TO OUR NEIGHBORHOOD.
MY DESIRE AND HOPE IS THAT ANY REVISED TOD CODE REMAINS SENSITIVE TO THE RESIDENTIAL CHARACTER OF THIS HISTORIC DISTRICT.
I SUPPORT THE APPROVAL OF THE CUSTOMIZED TOD BOUNDARY MAPS THAT WERE RECOMMENDED FOR APPROVAL BY THE CITY OF SAN ANTONIO'S TOD TASK FORCE.
I SUPPORT THE EXCLUSION OF ALL SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL ZONED PROPERTY REGARDLESS OF SIZE FROM TOD ZONING, PROPOSED TO OD ZONING MUST EXCLUDE ALL SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL ZONE LOTS REGARDLESS OF SIZE.
I ALSO SUPPORT THE APPROVAL OF A SPECIAL AUTHORIZATION F REQUIREMENT FOR THE USE OF ALCOHOL IN TOD DISTRICTS.
I THANK YOU FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION IN THIS MATTER AND I LOOK FORWARD TO A POSITIVE OUTCOME FOR OUR COMMUNITY.
SIMA COLVIN ON BEHALF OF THE BEACON HILL AREA NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATION BOARD AND ZONING AND URBAN DESIGN COMMITTEE REGARDING THE PROPOSED UDC AMENDMENTS FOR THE TRANSPORTATION ORIENTED DEVELOPMENT DISTRICTS, THE BEACON HILL AREA NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATION BOARD, AND THE ZONING AND URBAN DESIGN COMMITTEE SUPPORT AN EQUITABLE TODD FRAMEWORK BASED ON PRINCIPLES OF EQUITY, PUBLIC INPUT, AND COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT AND RESPECT FOR THE BUILT ENVIRONMENT.
WE HAVE SUPPORTED A TRANSPORTATION PLAN SINCE 2001 AND ADOPTED IT IN OUR NEIGHBORHOOD PLAN FOR FREDERICKSBURG ROAD.
WE HAVE SUPPORTED THE CURRENT TODD, BUT REQUEST SOME MODIFICATIONS SO THAT WE CAN HAVE MORE DENSITY ALONG OUR TRANSPORTATION CORRIDORS AND AT THE SAME TIME SUSTAIN A STABLE RESIDENTIAL NEIGHBORHOOD AND COMMUNITY.
WE BELIEVE THAT THE FOLLOWING WILL HELP MITIGATE DISPLACEMENT THAT CAN OFTEN HAPPEN IN EVEN THE MOST WELL-INTENTIONED DEVELOPMENT PLANS, AS WELL AS CREATE MORE NEIGHBORS AND LOCAL BUSINESSES ALONG OUR CORRIDOR.
THE BEACON HILL AREA NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATION BOARD AND ZONING AND URBAN DESIGN COMMITTEE ASK THAT THE REVISED UDC TODD AMENDMENTS NUMBER ONE EXEMPT ALL RESIDENTIALLY ZONED PROPERTIES REGARDLESS OF LOT SIZE OR USE FROM THE TODD DISTRICT TWO ADOPT THE CUSTOMIZED BOUNDARY MAPS APPROVED BY THE TODD TASK FORCE AND AS SHOWN ON SA UP AND THREE REQUIRE A SPECIAL AUTHORIZATION FOR THE USE OF ALCOHOL IN TODD DISTRICTS.
A SPECIAL AUTHORIZATION ALLOWS THE NEIGHBORHOOD TO VOICE AN OPINION ON LIFE SAFETY ISSUES DURING THE REZONING PROCESS.
THE BEACON HILL AREA NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATION BOARD WELCOMES DEVELOPMENT THAT WILL BRING NEW NEIGHBORS AND BUSINESSES TO OUR NEIGHBORHOOD, BUT WANTS TO ENSURE THE INTRODUCTION OF
[01:25:01]
ANY NEW UTAH DISTRICT IS SENSITIVE TOWARDS POTENTIAL DISPLACEMENT OF RESIDENTS AND THE ALREADY BUILT ENVIRONMENT.AND I'M A PROPERTY OWNER IN THE CROWN HILL PARK NEIGHBORHOOD JUST NORTH OF NORTH STAR MALL, AND I SERVE AS THE VICE PRESIDENT OF ITS LONGSTANDING NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATION.
I'M SUBMITTING COMMENTS FOR THE RECORD REGARDING THE TOD PLAN.
IT'S ARGUABLE THAT NO NEIGHBORHOOD WILL BE IMPACTED BY THE AGGRESSIVE TOD EXPERIMENT MORE THAN CROWN HILL PARK BECAUSE THE PROPOSED MAP ADJOINS OUR COMMUNITY ON THREE SIDES.
OUR NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATION WAS LEFT COMPLETELY IN THE DARK IN THIS DEVELOPMENT OF THE BOUNDARIES.
OUR FIRST OFFICIAL MEETING WITH CAT HERNANDEZ WAS JUST YESTERDAY.
FAIRNESS WOULD DICTATE THAT THE MOMENT CITY LEADERS REALIZE THAT THE AFFORDABLE HOUSING ITS THOUGHT WOULD PREDOMINANTLY BE BUILT NORTH OF FOUR 10 A SEAT AT THE TABLE SHOULD HAVE BEEN MADE TO GIVE CROWN HILL PARK RESIDENTS A VOICE.
THERE ARE ONLY TWO AFFECTED NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATIONS NORTH OF FOUR 10 IN THIS AREA, AND NEITHER WAS PROPERLY ENGAGED IF AT ALL.
OUR RESIDENTS ARE NOT NIMBY OBSTRUCTIONISTS.
WE FULLY UNDERSTAND THE NEED FOR MORE AFFORDABLE HOUSING IN SAN ANTONIO, BUT WE ARE RIGHTFULLY CONCERNED WHAT THIS PLAN, WHICH QUITE LITERALLY SURROUNDS US TO DO TO HUNDREDS OF FINANCIAL NEST EGGS AND OUR COLLECTIVE QUALITY OF LIFE TWEAKING THE PROPOSED MAP TO PROVIDE A REASONABLE BUFFER FOR CROWN HILL PARK IS BOTH FEASIBLE AND WOULD NOT STYMIE THE CITY'S ULTIMATE GOAL.
REDUCING THE THREAT OF ENCROACHMENT IS THE RIGHT THING TO DO, AND I ASK THOSE WHO HAVE BEEN AWARDED A VOICE TO SPEAK UP ON BEHALF OF US.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION.
I LIVE AT 1 2 3 WEST MUL MULBERRY.
I'M CALLING, UM, REGARDING COMMENTS ON THE TOD AMENDMENTS.
UM, I DO, YOU KNOW, SUPPORT THE EXCLUSION OF ANY SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL ZONE PROPERTIES REGARDLESS OF THE SIZE.
UM, AND I WOULD LIKE TO SEE AS MUCH, UH, NEIGHBORHOOD INPUT INPUT INTO REZONING IN THE FUTURE FOR USE OF ALCOHOL OR, OR REALLY ANYTHING SUCH AS THAT.
UM, MY BIG ISSUE IS THAT WITH THE HISTORIC PRESERVATION, THE OFFICE OF HISTORIC PRESERVATION IN MONTE VISTA HISTORIC ASSOCIATION, WE'RE LIMITED IN WHERE WE COULD DO, UH, TO PROTECT OUR FAMILIES AND OUR PROPERTY.
FROM THE INCREASE IN TRAFFIC AND CONGESTION, UH, MULBERRY'S A VERY BUSINESS ROAD, UM, TRAFFIC COMBING MEASURES ARE NOT GONNA LIMIT THE NUMBER OF CARS, THE DESIGNATED BUS LANE'S GONNA BE DECREASE THE CAPACITY OF SOME PITCH OR HALF, UM, THAT TRAFFIC'S GONNA FLOW INTO THE NEIGHBORHOOD.
I WOULD LIKE SOME KIND OF CONCESSIONS, UM, FROM THE CITY AND THE HISTORICAL ASSOCIATION THAT ALLOW ME TO FENCE MY PROPERTY OR DO THINGS TO WHERE MY FRONT YARD CAN BE, UM, USABLE TO ME AND MY FAMILY, AND ALSO TO HELP WITH THE AMOUNT OF NOISE THAT'S GONNA INCREASE AS WELL.
IT'S ALREADY A VERY BUSY STREET AND, AND THIS WILL REALLY CHANGE THE NATURE OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD TO THE POINT WHERE I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHY THE OFFICE OF HISTORIC PRESERVATION OF THE MONTE VISTA HISTORICAL ASSOCIATION SHOULD EVEN EXIST AT THIS POINT.
UM, THE NEIGHBORHOOD'S CHANGING THE THE, THIS SHOULDN'T APPLY TO THEM ANYMORE.
I'M CALLING WITH COMMENTS ON THE TRANSIT-ORIENTED DEVELOPMENT AMENDMENT.

CURRENTLY THE PROPOSED POD ZONING CAN APPLY TO A SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL PROPERTY GREATER THAN ONE QUARTER OR ONE HALF OF AN ACRE.

MANY OF THE BIG HOMES ARE ON MORE THAN A HALF ACRE LOT.
I ABSOLUTELY DISAGREE WITH DOING ANY REZONING OF THE INTERIOR OF THE HISTORIC DISTRICT.
THE PROPOSED TODD ZONING MUST EXCLUDE ALL SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL ZONED LOTS REGARDLESS OF SIZE.
I ALSO DISAGREE WITH ALLOWING DEVELOPERS TO DEVELOP WITHIN THE DISTRICT WITHOUT PROVIDING PARKING FOR RESIDENTS THAT IS, UH, UNFAIR TO RESIDENTS AND UNFAIR TO THOSE WHO CURRENTLY LIVE IN MONTE VISTA.

MY PHONE NUMBER IS (818) 489-2599.
I WANTED TO ADD MY COMMENTS ON THET OD AMENDMENTS.
UM, I APPROVE THE TOD BOUNDARY MAPS ON THE ESSAY SPEAKUP WEBSITE, BUT I ALSO SUPPORT THE EXCLUSION OF ALL SINGLE FAMILY OWNED PROPERTIES REGARDLESS OF SIZE.
I FEEL THE CITY MUST VALUE ITS OLDER NEIGHBORHOODS AND RESIDENTS WHO HAVE BEEN IN THEIR HOMES A LONG TIME, PARTICULARLY IF DISPLACEMENT IS NOT THE GOAL OF THE TOD PROGRAM.

WE ALREADY HAVE A SITUATION IN ALTA VISTA WHERE SOME OF THOSE VENUES BACK UP ONTO RESIDENTIAL AREAS AND THEY DO CREATE A PROBLEM SIMILAR TO WHAT IS BEING EXPERIENCED ON, UH, ALONG, UH, ST.
SO THANK YOU FOR THE OPPORTUNITY TO PROVIDE AN INPUT.
OH, THIS IS COMMENTS ON THE TOD AMENDMENTS.
I LIVE AT 9 1 0 2 REGAL STREET IN CROWN HILL PARK.
MY PHONE NUMBER IS (210) 422-2728.
I'M OPPOSED TO THE AIRPORT DIRECTOR BOUNDARY MAP AS IT IS CURRENTLY PROPOSED.
THE CITY OF SAN ANTONIO EXCLUDED NEIGHBORHOODS NORTH OF LOOP FOUR 10 AS STAKEHOLDERS ON THE TOD TASK FORCE.
AS SUCH, WE WERE NOT NOTIFIED OF THE CREATION OF THIS MAP WITHIN A HALF MILE OF OUR NEIGHBORHOOD, THERE ARE ALREADY OVER 1200 SUBSIDIZED OR AFFORDABLE HOUSING UNITS, MANY WITH RENTS OF LESS THAN $799 PER MONTH.
ADDITIONAL HIGH DENSITY DEVELOPMENT, INCLUDING HIGH DENSITY MULTIFAMILY HOUSING, WILL ADVERSELY AFFECT OUR NEIGHBORHOOD WITH INCREASED SIGNIFICANTLY INCREASED TRAFFIC, DRAINAGE AND PUBLIC SAFETY CHALLENGES.
THIS INCLUDES TDOT'S CLOSURE OF THE MCCULLOUGH STREET BRIDGE TO OUTBOUND AND INBOUND NEIGHBORHOOD TRAFFIC.
WE RESPECTFULLY REQUEST THAT THE BAT BOUNDARY BE MOVED NORTH OF WOLF ROAD AT ISEN WEST OF WA PLAZA DEL NORTE AND SOUTH OF LOOP FOUR 10 ADJACENT TO THE NEIGHBORHOOD.

AS SUCH, WE WERE NOT NOTIFIED OF THE CREATION OF THE MAP WITHIN A HALF MILE RADIUS OF OUR NEIGHBORHOOD, THERE ARE OVER 1200 SUBSIDIZED OR AFFORDABLE HOUSING UNITS, MANY WITH RENTS OF LESS THAN $799 PER MONTH.
ADDITIONALLY, HIGH DENSITY AND DEVELOPMENT, INCLUDING HIGH DENSITY MULTIFAMILY HOUSING, WILL ADVERSELY IMPACT OUR NEIGHBORHOOD.
THIS INCLUDES TDOT'S CLOSURE OF THE MCCULLAH STREET BRIDGE TO OUTBOUND AND INBOUND NEIGHBORHOOD TRAFFIC.
WE RESPECTFULLY REQUEST THE MAP BOUNDARY BE MOVED NORTH TO WOLF ROAD AND ISO AND WEST OF PLAZA, DALE NORTE AND SOUTH OF ROUTE FOUR 10 ADJACENT TO OUR NEIGHBORHOOD.
HELLO, IT'S MELISSA SENDAL CALLING WITH THE LAVACCA NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATION
[01:45:01]
FOR THE PLANNING COMMISSION TECHNICAL ADVISORY COMMITTEE HEARING TODAY.ITEM NUMBER TWO, BRIEFING AND ACTION ON THE PROPOSED AMENDMENTS TO CHAPTER 35 UDC FOR THE SECTION ON TRANSIT-ORIENTED DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT.
THE LAKA NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATION IS IN SUPPORT OF TRUE NODAL TRANSIT-ORIENTED DEVELOPMENT WITH THE FOLLOWING NEEDS MET ONE, CREATE A SAFE AND DESIRABLE URBAN ENVIRONMENT THAT NEEDS UNIVERSAL DESIGN GUIDELINES.
WE URGE THAT THE ELEMENTS THAT MEET THESE STANDARDS BE PLANNED AND BUDGETED FOR AS PART OF TOD AND IMPLEMENTED UPON ADOPTION OF THE TOD AMENDMENTS TO PROTECT OUR SCHOOL CHILDREN BY MEETING THE NEEDS OF THE LOCAL SCHOOLS ALONG THE RAPID TRANSIT ROUTE AND ENHANCING ACCESSIBILITY TO THE SCHOOLS THREE SMARTLY ADDRESS PARKING BY ACCOUNTING REALISTICALLY FOR THE NEEDS OF A DA ACCESSIBILITY SCHOOL OPERATIONS, RESIDENTIAL PARKING NEEDS, EMERGENCY ACCESS AND PRESERVATION OF NARROW HISTORIC STREETS.
THE L AND A SUPPORTS THE PROPOSED CUSTOMIZED BOUNDARY MAP WITH ESTABLISHED EDCS FOR HISTORIC DISTRICTS AND NCDS REMAINING IN PLACE.
THE L AND A SUPPORTS THE PROPOSED DESIGNATIONS FOR ALCOHOL USE OF S SPECIFIC USES FOR TOD MX AND BLANK PROHIBITED USES FOR T-O-D-T-R AS INDICATED ON TABLE 3 42 0.02 DASH THREE TO SECURE THE TOD GOAL FOR VIBRANT COMMUNITIES AROUND ITS HUBS AND QUARTERS.
THE LNA RESPECTFULLY REQUESTS A FOLLOWING UPON ADOPTION OF THESE TOD CODE AMENDMENTS, THE PROPOSED BUS SCHEDULE TO LATE NIGHT BUSINESSES.
THIS MEANS 24 HOUR OPERATIONS TO SERVE BOTH PATRONS AND EMPLOYEES OF THESE BUSINESSES.
BRING ALL SIDEWALKS, CROSSWALKS, AND BIKE LANES IN THE IMMEDIATE RAPID TRANSIT LINE COMMUNITIES UP TO UNIVERSAL DESIGN GUIDELINES WITH THE ADOPTION OF TOD AND LA VACA.
THIS MEANS EVERYTHING IN BETWEEN SOUTH ST.
MARY STREET AND I 37 SUPPORT WIDESPREAD APPLICATION OF THE RESIDENTIAL PARKING PERMIT PROGRAM IN THE LEVO NEIGHBORHOOD WITH NEIGHBORHOOD BUY-IN FOR IDENTIFIED BLOCKS.
FIRST TO SECURE RESIDENTIAL PARKING NEEDS AND ENCOURAGE TRANSIT RIDERSHIP FROM OUTSIDE OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD.
AND PLEASE COMPLETE A COMPREHENSIVE TRAFFIC IMPACT ANALYSIS.
THAT CONCLUDES THE VOICEMAILS THAT WERE RECEIVED.
WE ALSO HAVE 32 PEOPLE SIGNED UP TO SPEAK.
UM, JUST A LITTLE BIT OF HOUSEKEEPING.
UH, ASHLEY FAIRMAN LEFT THE MEETING AT TWO 15 AND YAMINI NDA CARD JOINED THE MEETING AT 2 42.
WE'LL KEEP GOING WITH THE PUBLIC COMMENT.
UH, DO WE WANT TO TAKE A LITTLE PAUSE IN THIS? 'CAUSE WE'VE BEEN AT IT FOR ALMOST TWO HOURS? SURE.
WE CAN TAKE A 10 MINUTE BREAK.
ALL RIGHT, EVERYBODY, LET'S GET GOING.
WE'RE GONNA RESUME THE MEETING.
ALL RIGHT, LET'S GET GOING WITH PUBLIC COMMENT, I GUESS.
STAFF, YOU HAVE THE SIGNUP SHEET, RIGHT? YES, CHAIR.
IS THAT ENOUGH? THANK GOODNESS.
HELLO, MY NAME IS LITH NEGLEY, MY HUSBAND RICHARD NEGLEY AND I LIVE IN MONTE VISTA AT THE CORNER OF LINWOOD IN SAN PEDRO.
IN A HUNDRED YEAR OLD SPANISH STYLE HOME BUILT BY CHARLES BAMBERGER, THE HOME SITS ON ONE ACRE.
MR. BAMBERGER WAS THE PRESIDENT OF THE PORTLAND ALAMO CEMENT COMPANY, WHICH STILL EXISTS TODAY AT 1604.
YOU MAY NOT KNOW OF IT, BUT EVERYBODY KNOWS THE SUNKEN GARDENS AND THE QUARRY SHOPPING CENTER, BOTH OF WHICH WERE THE ORIGINAL QUARRIES.
WHAT YOU ALSO MAY NOT KNOW IS THAT MR. BAMBERGER DIED CHILDLESS AND LEFT ALL OF HIS MONEY TO THE CHILDREN OF SAN ANTONIO.
ANY HIGH SCHOOLER MAKING A'S AND B'S ATTENDING COLLEGE IN THE ARTS AND SCIENCES CAN APPLY FOR A $5,000 A YEAR STIPEND THROUGH HIS FOUNDATION.
SO MR. BAMBERGER'S LEGACY LIVES ON IN THE FORM OF HIS BUSINESS, HIS GENEROSITY AND HIS HOME.
AND PART OF WHAT MAKES THAT HOME UNIQUE ARE THE GROUNDS WHICH WE HAVE ALWAYS OPENED TO THE PUBLIC.
AS AN EXAMPLE, TWO YEARS AGO DURING THE PANDEMIC, A GARDENING GROUP FROM WISCONSIN APPROACHED THE MONTE VISTA HISTORICAL ASSOCIATION ASKING IF ANY OF THE HISTORIC HOUSES HAD INTERESTING GARDENS, AND WOULD THEY OPEN THEM TO THE VISITING SNOWBIRDS.
[01:50:01]
HAD SUCH A GOOD TIME, THEY ASKED TO COME BACK THIS COMING SPRING.MY HUSBAND JOKINGLY SAID, WE MUST THROW A GOOD PARTY.
BUT ALSO IT IS BECAUSE THE GROUNDS ARE WHAT MAKE THE HOUSE INTERESTING.
I WOULD VENTURE TO SAY THEY DON'T HAVE INNER COURTYARDS, FOUNTAINS AND REFLECTING POOLS IN WISCONSIN.
I RESPECTFULLY ASK THAT, TODD, PLEASE INCLUDE ALL RESIDENTIAL ACREAGE IN ITS PLANS TO PROTECT FAMILY RESIDENCES, NOT JUST THOSE SITTING ON HALF AN ACRE OR LESS.
MR. BAMBERGER HAS DONE A LOT FOR THE CITY OF SAN ANTONIO AND CONTINUES TO DO SO, SO PLEASE HONOR AND PROTECT HIS HOME AND ALL HOMES THAT SIT ON MORE THAN HALF AN ACRE.
I JUST WANNA CLARIFY WITH STAFF, WE WERE LEAVING IT AT TWO MINUTES, CORRECT? THANK YOU.
I HAVE BEEN A RESIDENT OF THE CITY FOR OVER 25 YEARS.
I WOULD LIKE TO PROVIDE MY SUPPORT FOR THE CUSTOMIZED TOD BOUNDARY MAPS AS REC AS RECOMMENDED BY CSUS TOD TASK FORCE.
I FEEL THE PROPOSED MAPS WILL ASSIST IN PROTECTING SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL PROPERTIES FROM BECOMING TOD DISTRICTS.
I ALSO SUPPORT THE EXCLUSION OF ALL SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL ZONE PROPERTIES REGARDLESS OF SIZE FROM TOD ZONING.
THE CURRENT TOD ZONING PROPOSED CAN APPLY TO A SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL PROPERTY GREATER THAN HALF AN ACRE.
THIS WOULD INCENTIVIZE IMPROPER DEVELOPMENT OF THESE RESIDENTIAL AREAS.
I BELIEVE THE PROPOSED TOD ZONING MUST EXCLUDE ALL SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL ZONE LOTS REGARDLESS OF SIZE IN THE MATTER OF ALCOHOL USE AND TOD DISTRICTS.
AND THEIR DESIGNATION NEEDS TO BE ATTACHED, WHICH WOULD ALLOW SPECIAL AUTHORIZATION.
IT ALLOWS THE NEIGHBORHOOD TO VOICE AN OPINION ON LIFE SAFETY ISSUES DURING THE ZONING PROCESS.
I THANK YOU IN ADVANCE FOR YOUR TIME AND CONSIDERATION IN THIS MATTER.
NEXT WE HAVE VICTORIA GARBIN, FOLLOWED BY KELLY WALLS.
UH, I SAT ON THE ON THE TASK FORCE, UH, AS AN ALTERNATE FOR MONTE VISTA, BUT I THINK WHAT'S IMPORTANT TO REALIZE IS THAT WE ALL WORKED TOGETHER.
WE GOT ALL THE NEIGHBORHOODS TOGETHER WITH T ONE BECAUSE ORIGINALLY THIS WAS GREEN LINE AND, AND, AND THE SILVER LINE.
AND WE ASKED, WE SAT DOWN AS ALL THESE NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATIONS AND SAID, WHAT'S IMPORTANT TO US? AND THESE THREE THINGS WERE REALLY IMPORTANT, THE FACT THAT WE CONSIDER RESIDENTIAL HOUSING.
WE DON'T THROW PEOPLE OUT OF THEIR HOMES REGARDLESS OF THE WHERE THEY ARE IN THE CITY.
WE HAVE AN ISSUE WITH ALCOHOL.
WE NEED TO BE REALLY RESPECTFUL OF NEIGHBORHOODS TRYING TO PROTECT THEIR CHILDREN AND FAMILIES LIVING WITHIN THEM AT ALL HOURS OF DAY AND NIGHT.
AND WE NEED TO THINK ABOUT THE CRAG THAT ORIGINAL 36 MILES OF THE CITY AND HOW, HOW INTENSIVE THE DEVELOPMENT IS ALREADY.
SO WHETHER YOU'RE ON THE EAST SIDE, THE WEST SIDE, THE SOUTH SIDE, THE NORTH SIDE, WE CARE ABOUT RESIDENTIAL FAMILIES.
WE DON'T WANNA DISPLACE ELDERLY, WE DON'T WANNA DISPLACE FAMILIES.
WE CAN DEVELOP, THERE'S PLENTY OF ROOM TO DEVELOP, BUT LET'S DO IT VERY INTENTIONALLY.
AND LET'S ALSO CONSIDER ANY RESIDENTIAL PRODUCT, PROPERTY OF ANY SIZE, BECAUSE YOU CAN BUY UP SMALL LOTS, PUT 'EM TOGETHER AND PACKAGE THEM AND DEVELOP THEM.
WE HAVE KELLY WALLS FOLLOWED BY DREA GARZA.
THE CROWN HILL PARK NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATION STRONGLY OPPOSES THE APPROVAL OF THE AIRPORT DIRECTOR BOUNDARY MAP.
WHILE THE CITY WORKED CLOSELY WITH MONTE VISTA TO CREATE GUARDRAILS TO PROTECT THEIR NEIGHBORHOOD FROM HIGH DENSITY DEVELOPMENT, THEY FAILED TO NOTIFY MULTIPLE NEIGHBORHOODS THAT A SUBCOMMITTEE WAS DRAFTING NEW TOD BOUNDARY MAPS.
BY EXCLUDING NEIGHBORHOODS AS STAKEHOLDERS, THE CITY OPENS THE FLOODGATES TO DESTROY WORKING CLASS NEIGHBORHOODS WEST OF SAN PEDRO AND NORTH OF FOUR 10.
ACCORDING TO RECENT NEWS ARTICLES, THE TOD CHANGES WILL PAVE THE WAY FOR OUR NEIGHBORHOODS TO BEAR THE BURDEN OF NEW HIGH DENSITY DEVELOPMENT.
OUR NEIGHBORHOODS FACE SIGNIFICANT TRAFFIC INFRASTRUCTURE AND PUBLIC SAFETY CHALLENGES.
UNFORTUNATELY, THESE CHALLENGES CANNOT BE ADEQUATELY ADDRESSED IN A TWO MINUTE PERIOD.
HIGH CRIME SECTORS ALREADY EXIST ALONG
[01:55:01]
THE IOM CORRIDOR WITHIN HALF A MILE RADIUS OF OUR NEIGHBORHOOD.THIS IS AN EXAMPLE OF ALL SAPD CALLS FOR ONE OF THOSE APARTMENT UNITS WITHIN THAT HALF MILE RADIUS.
THERE ARE SIMILAR HIGH CRIME CORRIDORS ON SAN PEDRO, NORTH OF HILDER BROWN AND NORTH OF FOUR 10.
IF THE CITY CANNOT REDUCE EXISTING CRIME NOW ADDING MORE HIGH DENSITY DEVELOPMENT IN THIS AREA WILL CREATE A NEW GOTHAM CITY TECH STOCKS CLOSURE OF THE MCCULLOUGH STREET BRIDGE WILL BE CATASTROPHIC FOR OUR NEIGHBORHOOD.
REMOVAL OF THE TRAFFIC LIGHTS ON THE ACCESS ROAD WILL RESULT IN PEDESTRIAN FATALITIES.
THE CONSTRUCTION OF THE ALAMO HEIGHTS ISD SPORTS COMPLEX AT RAMSEY AND JONES BERGER WILL FURTHER IMPACT OUR NEIGHBORHOOD.
BUT THESE ISSUES WERE NEVER DISCUSSED DURING THE MAP DRAWING SESSIONS.
EVERY NEIGHBORHOOD IMPACTED BY THE PROPOSED TD THAT TOO MUCH REVISIONS DESERVED EQUAL REPRESENTATION.
I LIVE IN THE MONTICELLO PARK, UH, NEIGHBORHOOD AREA, AND I SERVED AS AN ALTERNATE FOR DISTRICT SEVEN ON THE TOD TASK FORCE.
AND I ALSO SERVED ON THE TOD SUBCOMMITTEE THAT WORKED ON THE MAPS THAT YOU WILL BE, UH, REVIEWING TODAY.
I DID WANNA SAY THANK YOU FOR THE OPPORTUNITY TO PROVIDE COMMENTS.
UM, I'M NOT GONNA REPEAT MUCH OF WHAT YOU'VE ALREADY HEARD.
I DO ECHO, UH, THE SUPPORT FOR THE CUSTOMIZED MAPS THAT THE SUBCOMMITTEE PRESENTED IN WHICH THE LARGER, UH, TOD TASK FORCE ALSO SUPPORTED.
UM, BUT DO WANT TO, UM, POINT OUT THAT THERE HAVE BEEN A LOT OF CONCERNS ABOUT THE LACK OF REPRESENTATION, UH, THAT TOOK PLACE AS THE MAPS WERE BEING DEVELOPED.
THE SUBCOMMITTEE DID CAREFULLY REVIEW ALL OF THE MAPS, BUT WE DO ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THERE WERE MANY NEIGHBORHOODS THAT DID NOT HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO VOICE THEIR CONCERNS AT THE TIME OF DEVELOPMENT.
I DO ASK THAT YOU PLEASE CONSIDER ADDING POLICY LANGUAGE THAT SPECIFICALLY INITIATES, UH, PARKING PERMIT REQUIREMENTS FOR RESIDENTIAL AREAS THAT MAY BE IMPACTED BY TODD.
RIGHT NOW, THE LANGUAGE DOES NEGATE MANY OF THE PARKING REQUIREMENTS, AND WE DO NEED TO MAKE SURE THAT THE, UH, NEIGHBORHOOD STREETS REMAIN ACCESSIBLE TO THE PEOPLE WHO ARE LIVING THERE.
FINALLY, I JUST DID WANNA TAKE, UH, A MOMENT TO NOTE THAT, UM, THE PROCESS ITSELF SEEMED RUSHED AT TIMES.
THERE WERE, UH, THERE WERE, THERE WAS A LACK OF ROBUST ENGAGEMENT, UH, FROM ALL OF THE NEIGHBORHOODS THAT ARE ACTUALLY IMPACTED ALONG THIS CORRIDOR.
THIS IS A CITYWIDE POLICY, BUT THERE WASN'T CITYWIDE REPRESENTATION ON THE TASK FORCE.
WE WANNA MAKE SURE THAT AS WE'RE MOVING FORWARD, THE LANGUAGE THAT IS IN THE POLICY RIGHT NOW THAT MAKES SURE THAT THERE ARE A VARIETY OF STAKEHOLDERS, UH, STAYS A PART OF THE LANGUAGE TO ENSURE THAT MOVING FORWARD, WE DO HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY FOR MORE ROBUST ENGAGEMENT AND TRANSPARENCY IN THE PROCESS.
NEXT WE HAVE TOM ARCHER, FOLLOWED BY RICHARD NLY AND THEN CECILIA OTRO.
I AM, UH, I LIVE AT 1 51, UH, EAST LAW WOOD IN MONTE VISTA.
I'M ALSO THE, UH, MONTE VISTA HISTORICAL ASSOCIATION'S INCOMING OR PRESIDENT-ELECT, UH, FOR 2025.
I'D LIKE TO START, BY THE WAY, I'M NOT GONNA USE THE WORD HERO DESCRIBING YOU, BUT LISTENING TO ALL THOSE, UM, RECORDINGS IS HEROIC AND I WANT TO THANK YOU FOR DOING THAT.
I THINK THE ADAGE, UH, ABOUT IF ONE PERSON IS SAYING IT, THERE'S PROBABLY 20 PEOPLE THINKING IT.
SO, UH, THE FACT THAT THERE WASN'T A LOT OF VARIETY IN THOSE MESSAGES PROBABLY GOES TO SHOW THAT THERE ARE SOME, SOME REAL HARD, UH, ISSUES THAT ARE CONCERNING PEOPLE RIGHT NOW.
UM, UH, BUT LET ME START BY SAYING THIS.
I, I AM GLAD THAT WE'RE HERE TODAY.
UM, I STRONGLY SUPPORT THE RAPID TRANSIT PROJECTS THAT, THAT ARE DRIVING TODAY'S DISCUSSIONS.
I'M EXCITED AND SUPPORTIVE OF ALL YOUR EFFORTS TO MODERNIZE AND IMPROVE OUR CITY.
I THINK THIS IS GONNA BENEFIT ALL OF US.
WE JUST NEED TO DO IT RIGHT WITH THAT AS A BACKDROP.
I'LL DO THREE QUICK POINTS, NOT SURPRISINGLY.
FIRST, I URGE PTAC TO APPROVE THE, UH, TOD BOUNDARY MAPS THAT ARE RECOMMENDED BY THE CITY OF SAN ANTONIO'S TOD TAX TASK FORCE.
THIS IS, THESE ARE GOOD FOR RESIDENTIAL PROPERTIES, GOOD FOR NEIGHBORHOODS, AND GOOD FOR SAN ANTONIO.
SECOND POINT IS THAT AS MUCH AS I SUPPORT THE, THE PROPOSED TOD MAPS, I DO HAVE AN ISSUE WITH THE TOD ZONING PROVISION THAT STATES THAT ANYTHING, UH, ABOVE A HALF ACRE CAN BE, UM, CAN BE TREATED AT, IN A, IN WITH A TOD TREATMENT.
AND I DON'T BELIEVE THAT'S THE NECESSARY CALL OUT.
[02:00:01]
SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL RESIDENTIALLY ZONED LOTS REGARDLESS OF SIZE, SHOULD BE EXEMPT.AND THEN FINALLY, THE ALCOHOL ISSUE.
IT'S IMPORTANT IN FACT, CRITICAL THAT, UH, THE P TAC APPROVES THAT CURRENTLY STANDING REQUIREMENT THAT ALL ALCOHOL USE IN TOD DISTRICTS REQUIRE SPECIAL AUTHORIZATION.
RICHARD NLY, FOLLOWED BY CECILIA OTRO AND RANDY OTRO.
I LIVE WITH MY WIFE LEAF, UH, ON THE CORNER OF SAN PEDRO.
AND LINWOOD, A BEAUTIFUL HOUSE THAT SITS ON ABOUT AN ACRE.
UH, MY FAMILY HAS LIVED OFF AND ON SAN PEDRO FOR MANY YEARS.
I SUPPORT THE APPROVAL OF THE CUSTOMIZED TOD MAPS RECOMMENDED FOR APPROVAL BY YOUR COMMITTEE TODAY.
THESE MAPS WILL EXCLUDE SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENT RESIDENTIAL PROPERTIES, UH, FROM BEING A PART OF THE TODI SUGGEST THAT THEY SHOULD MAKE THAT EXCLUSION COVER ALL SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL LOTS REGARDLESS OF SIZE.
THE AS TO THE LIQUOR, UM, I WOULD ALSO SUPPORT THE SPECIAL AUTHORIZATION REQUIREMENT FOR, UH, COMMERCIAL USE OF ALCOHOL IN TOD DISTRICT.
I ADDED COMMERCIAL USE BECAUSE I'M SURE, SURE, THERE'S SOME DRINKING THAT GOES ON THERE THAT I WOULD NOT OPPOSE.
UH, AS YOU KNOW, THIS WILL ALLOW FOR THE NEIGHBORHOOD TO COMMENT ON, UH, DANGER ISSUES OF SERVING COMMERCIALLY ALCOHOL IN AN AREA WHEN REZONING IS PROPOSED.
CECILIA OTRO, FOLLOWED BY RANDY OTRO.
AFTER THAT, WE HAVE CYNTHIA SPIELMAN.
I OWN THE BUILDING AT 3 4 2 WEST WOODLAWN, AND I ALSO OWN PROPERTIES IN ALTA VISTA AND MONTE VISTA.
AND I LIVE AT 4 2 2 EAST ROSEWOOD.
AND THIS VIA PROJECT, THE GREEN BUS LINE IS ALREADY OLD TECHNOLOGY.
THERE ARE ROBOTAXIS AND ROBOT BUSES ALREADY OPERATING IN CITIES OF THE USA.
BY THE TIME THEY GET THIS VIA PROJECT GOING, IT WILL BE OBSOLETE CHANGING THE ZONING, TAKING LAND AWAY FROM THE CITIZENS SELLING LIQUOR BY RIGHT.
THIS IS, UH, THIS IS NOT RIGHT.
TAKING DOWN TREES AND PUTTING EVERYTHING LIKE CONVERTING EVERYTHING TO LIKE A CEMENT VILLE CITY.
THIS IS UNFORGIVABLE AND I OPPOSE THIS PROJECT.
AND, UH, IF YOU HAVE ANY IDEA WHAT THE SIZE OF THESE TRANS ART STATIONS ARE, ENORMOUS, 50 BY EIGHT FEET.
IT'S GONNA BRING IN A LOT OF CRIME AND CAR WRECKS AND SAFETY ISSUES.
UH, CECILIA OTRO AND MY HUSBAND RANDY OTRO IS NOT GONNA BE HERE.
MY NAME IS CYNTHIA SPIELMAN AND I CHAIR THE BEACON HILLS ZONING AND URBAN DESIGN COMMITTEE, AS WELL AS A MEMBER OF TIER ONE STEERING COMMITTEE.
OUR NEIGHBORHOOD HAD VARIOUS COMMITTEE, BOARD AND COMMUNITY MEETINGS ABOUT THIS TODD PLAN.
WE WHOLEHEARTEDLY SUPPORT A MORE EFFICIENT AND USE USER-FRIENDLY TRANSPORTATION.
WE ALSO SEEK TO STABILIZE OUR VERY DELICATE ECOSYSTEM.
WE SEEK TO WELCOME NEWCOMERS, BUT ALSO WANT TO PROTECT LEGACY OWNERS, RENTERS AND VULNERABLE NEIGHBORS.
WE'VE SEEN THE DESTABILIZATION REPEATEDLY DUE TO CITY DEVELOPMENT POLICIES.
WE ASK THAT TODD, UM, IS A, THAT WILL BE ADOPTED ON THE FREDERICKSBURG CORRIDOR AS WELL AS EVERYWHERE ELSE THAT YOUR'RE CAREFUL NOT TO DISPLACE RESIDENTS THAT ARE LIVING IN AFFORDABLE HOUSING BY EXTENDING THE TOT INTO RESIDENTIAL AREAS.
WE ALSO ASK THAT THE INFRASTRUCTURE THAT'S SO BADLY NEEDED FOR PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION.
I LIVE IN A NEIGHBORHOOD IN WHICH I CAN WALK TO LOCAL BUSINESSES.
THE ONLY PROBLEM IS I'M USUALLY WALKING IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STREET, OFTEN WITH A STROLLER ALONGSIDE MY NEIGHBORS.
WE DESPERATELY NEED SIDEWALKS AND BIKE LANES TO MAKE TODD WORK.
LASTLY, AS TEMPERATURES CONTINUE TO RISE, WE THINK IT SHOULD BE MANDATORY THAT TREES ARE PLANTED WITH NEW DEVELOPMENTS.
OUR CITY STREETS CREATE HEAT ISLANDS AND BEACON HILL HAS BEEN WORKING WITH THE OFFICE OF SUSTAINABILITY AS WELL AS THE PARKS DEPARTMENT ON TREE PLANTINGS AND GIVEAWAYS THAT INCLUDE FOLLOW UP.
I KNOW THAT BIG DEVELOPMENT POLICIES SEEM LIKE AN EASY SOLUTION TO OUR TRANSPORTATION PROBLEMS, BUT WE SHOULD LEARN FROM PAST MISTAKES AND CREATE THOUGHTFUL POLICIES THAT ARE GOOD FOR OUR COMMUNITIES ON DIFFERENT LEVELS AND THAT WORK FOR ALL
[02:05:01]
SAN ANTONIO RESIDENTS.WE RESPECTFULLY REQUEST THAT TODD DOES NOT ENCROACH ON THE RESIDENTIAL AREAS THAT BADLY NEEDED INFRASTRUCTURE IS PROVIDED AND TREE PLANTINGS ARE REQUIRED ON NEW DEVELOPMENTS.
NEXT WE HAVE JILL TORBERT, FOLLOWED BY, FOLLOWED BY LETICIA SANCHEZ.
MY HUSBAND AND I HAVE LIVED THERE FOR OVER 30 YEARS.
DURING THOSE 30 YEARS, I HAVE BEEN INVOLVED IN VARIOUS ISSUES AND PROJECTS THAT HAVE PROTECTED AND ENHANCED OUR NEIGHBORHOOD AND IN TURN, HELP SAN ANTONIO KEEP ITS UNIQUE CHARACTER I SUPPORT, AS HAS ALMOST EVERYBODY WHO HAS SPOKEN ON THIS ISSUE.
THE CUSTOMIZED TODD BOUNDARY MAPS AS RECOMMENDED BY THE TODD TASK FORCE.
I ALSO SUPPORT THE EXCLUSION OF ALL SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENTS NO MATTER THE SIZE OF THE LOT.
I ALSO SUPPORT THE SPECIALIZED AUTHORIZATION REQUIREMENT FOR THE USE OF ALCOHOL IN TODD DISTRICTS.
I'VE BEEN QUITE CONCERNED ABOUT SERVING ALCOHOL IN ANY BUSINESSES THAT ARE, UM, ADOPT TODD THAT ARE SO CLOSE TO RESIDE THE RESIDENTIAL NEIGHBORHOOD.
I'M ALSO VERY CONCERNED ABOUT THE REDUCTION OF PARKING REQUIREMENTS IN TODD.
OUR STREETS ARE VERY NARROW IN MONTE VISTA.
THEY ALREADY HAVE RESIDENTIAL PARKING ON THEM.
AND TO INCREASE THAT BY HAVING A MINIMUM OR NO PARKING REQUIREMENT FOR ANY NEW DEVELOPMENT IS JUST REALLY CREATING, UM, A BOTTLENECK IN OUR NEIGHBORHOODS.
MAKES IT VERY UNSIGHTLY TO WALK AROUND THERE.
AND IT ALSO CREATES A VERY LARGE SAFETY HAZARD.
I'M HERE TO DELIVER A MESSAGE THAT THE CITY SHOULD PROTECT THE INNER CITY NEIGHBORHOODS FROM DEVELOPMENT THAT IS NOT COMPATIBLE WITH EXISTING USE AND DESIGN.
CITY CODES SHOULD REFLECT THE UNIQUENESS OF SAN ANTONIO AND NOT BE A ONE SIZE FITS ALL.
I TOO, THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE TO THE CITY AND FOR LISTENING TO ALL OF US TODAY.
AFTER THAT, WE HAVE OLIVIA CRUZ, FOLLOWED BY ANGELINA VILLANUEVA.
HI, MY NAME IS LETICIA SANCHEZ AND I'M THE CO-CHAIR PERSON OF THE HISTORIC WEST SIDE RESIDENCE ASSOCIATION.
AND I ALSO REPRESENTED OUR ASSOCIATION ON THE TA TODD TASK FORCE.
I'M SPEAKING ON BEHALF OF OUR ASSOCIATION'S RESIDENTS WHO ARE VERY CONCERNED WITH THE IMPACT THAT THIS ZONING CODE WILL HAVE ON OUR COMMUNITY.
THE SILVER LINE, WHICH IS THE SECOND A RT, UH, THAT V IS PROPOSING, WILL RUN THROUGH OUR COMMUNITY ON COMMERCE AND BUENA VISTA STREETS.
OUR ASSOCIATION HAS MANY CONCERNS ABOUT THE RECOMMENDED ZONING, BUT EQUALLY AS IMPORTANT, WE HAVE ISSUES WITH THE PROCESS AND TIMELINE PUT FORTH BY THE CITY REGARDING THIS VERY IMPORTANT ZONING CODE.
STUDY AFTER STUDY HAS SHOWN THAT TODD'S ZONING CODES THROUGHOUT THE US HAVE NEGATIVELY IMPACTED LOW INCOME AND MINORITY COMMUNITIES LEADING TO THE DISPLACEMENT OF RESIDENTS FROM THEIR COMMUNITIES.
THAT'S THE COMMUNITY THAT I REPRESENT, UM, OUR CITY HAS.
UH, BUT INSTEAD OF, UH, I'M SORRY.
HOWEVER, INSTEAD OF DELVING INTO THE RESEARCH OF HOW COMMUNITIES HAVE BEEN NEGATIVELY IMPACTED AND TAKING TIME TO TRULY ENGAGE WITH COMMUNITY, OUR CITY HAS CHOSEN TO BORROW ZONING CODE AND TEXT FROM OTHER CITIES AND RUSH THROUGH THE PROCESS.
THE FIRST DRAFT OF THE TODD ZONING CODE WAS PRESENTED TO THE TASK FORCE IN MARCH.
THERE WAS NO MEETING IN APRIL, AND OUR LAST TASK FORCE MEETING WAS IN SEPTEMBER, WHICH MEANS THAT THIS TODD ZONING CODE WAS TO PUT TOGETHER IN SIX MONTHS.
THERE'S NO REASON THAT THIS PROCESS HAD TO BE RUSHED AND THIS POLICY NEEDS TO BE ADOPT AND, AND SHOULD BE ADOPTED IN SUCH A SHORT TIMEFRAME.
ADDITIONALLY, OUR ASSOCIATION FINDS THAT RESIDENTS VOICES AS USUAL ARE NOT GIVEN MORE IMPORTANCE OR WEIGHT THAN THE VOICES OF DEVELOPERS AND BUSINESSES.
OF THE 26 MEMBER TASK FORCE, ONLY 13 MEMBERS REPRESENTED NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATIONS.
WHILE THE OTHER 13 MEMBERS, UH, WERE ATTORNEYS,
[02:10:01]
DEVELOPERS, REPRESENTATIVES FROM BUSINESSES.IT'S WRONG THAT THIS TASK FORCE DID NOT INCLUDE REPRESENTATIVES FROM ALL THE NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATIONS THROUGHOUT THE GREEN LINE, UM, AND ALSO OTHER PARTS OF THE CITY WHERE ALL OF THIS TODD ZONING WILL RUN THROUGH.
THAT'S TWO MINUTES FOR OUR RESIDENTS.
YOU SAID THAT OLIVIA WAS THERE.
FOR OUR RESIDENTS, THE EXCLUSION OF ALL SINGLE FAMILY ZONE PROPERTIES, REGARDLESS OF SIDE FROM SIZE FROM TODD IS CRUCIAL.
OUR RESIDENTS ARE SOME OF THE POOREST RESIDENTS IN THE CITY AND ARE DESPERATELY TRYING TO KEEP THE PROPERTIES THAT THEY OWN.
ALLOWING RESIDENTIAL PROPERTIES OVER HALF AN ACRE.
TO BE TODD ZONE WOULD NOT ONLY INCENTIVIZE AND PROPERTY DEVELOPMENT IN OUR RESIDENTIAL AREA, IT WOULD INCREASE PROPERTY TAXES OF OUR RESIDENTS, WHICH WOULD LEAD TO RESIDENTS BEING UNABLE TO AFFORD HIGHER PROPERTY TAXES AND ULTIMATELY THEM LOSING THEIR HOMES.
OUR ASSOCIATION, OUR ASSOCIATION IS IN SUPPORT OF THE BOUNDARY MAPS THAT WERE RECOMMENDED BY THE TASK FORCE, WITH THE EXCEPTION OF THE AIRPORT TO RECTOR MAP MAP, WHICH SHOULD HAVE MORE INPUT BY THE CROWN HILL NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATION.
UH, OUR ASSOCIATION IS A, UM, WE ASK THAT, UH, I'M SORRY.
OUR RESIDENTS ALSO WANT TO HAVE INPUT ON THE USE OF ALCOHOL IN TAUGHT DISTRICTS AND ASK YOUR APPROVAL OF THE SPECIAL AUTHORIZATION OR AS REQUIREMENT IN TAUGHT DISTRICTS.
AND FINALLY, THE ELIMINATION OF PARKING AND TODD DEVELOPMENTS WITHIN RESIDENTIAL NEIGHBORHOODS SHOULD BE ADDED BACK INTO THE CODE.
UH, ALTHOUGH TODD'S GOAL IS TO ELIMINATE INDIVIDUAL CAR USE, OUR CURRENT VIA TRANSIT SYSTEM IS NOT UP TO PAR.
SO PEOPLE WILL CONTINUE TO USE AUTOMOBILES TO TRAVEL UNTIL OUR TRANSIT SYSTEM CATCHES UP.
IN THE MEANTIME, PEOPLE LIVING IN OR VISITING, UH, DEVELOPMENTS IN TODD DISTRICTS, UH, WILL CONTINUE TO DRIVE AND WILL THEN HAVE TO PARK IN RESIDENTIAL NEIGHBORHOODS, WHICH WILL CREATE ISSUES ALONG OUR RESIDENTIAL STREETS.
WE'VE ALREADY EXPERIENCED IT IN OUR NEIGHBORHOOD, UH, WHERE A FOUR STORY APARTMENT, UH, COMPLEX WAS BUILT, UH, IN A SMALL RESIDENTIAL STREET ALONG A SMALL RESIDENTIAL STREET.
AND WE HAVE PARKING ON BOTH SIDES AND YOU CANNOT HAVE, UH, THE, UH, E EMERGENCY VEHICLES COMING THROUGH WHILE YOU HAVE THE VIA TRANS GOING THROUGH.
AND WE HAVE CHILDREN WALKING TO THE ELEMENTARY SCHOOL.
SO, UH, THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME, ANGELINA, EVA.
THEN WE HAVE CAMMI KENNEDY, FOLLOWED BY TONY GARCIA AND THEN MG ZOS.
SO WE CAN GET TRANSLATION SERVICES OUT HERE, AH, THE TIME AND IN THE, IN GOOD AFTERNOON.
AS FAR AS THE CHANGES AND THE MODERNIZATION OF TRANSPORTATION, OF TRANSPORTATION, UH, HAVE YOU BEEN, UM, ASKING YOUR FAMILIES, WHEN YOU START THE PLANNING OF A PROJECT, YOU DO IT TAKE IN CONSIDERATION YOUR FAMILIES OR PEOPLE THAT YOU HAVE IN YOUR AREA, AND WHAT WOULD BE THE CONSEQUENCES, UH, WHEN THEY'RE DISPLACED BY YOU, WHEN YOU HAVE NOT, UM, CONSIDERED THEM IN YOUR GOALS.
HAVE YOU PLANNED, UH, A RELOCATION, UM, PROCESS THAT'S CONVENIENT FOR THEM? HAVE YOU WORN THOSE, UH, FAMILIES, SHOES TO KNOW WHAT ARE THEIR NEEDS AND KNOW WHAT, HOW YOU WILL BE AFFECTING THEM? OF COURSE NOT.
YOU'RE ONLY INTERESTED IN MAKING THE CHANGES TO MAKE THE CHANGES IN THE INFRASTRUCTURE WITHOUT ANY CONSIDERATION
[02:15:01]
TO WHAT THE FAMILIES MIGHT BE NEEDING OR WHERE THEY WILL LIVE.JUST THINK OF THE FAMILY, THE WEST SIDE, THAT'S TWO MINUTES AND VERY VULNERABLE PEOPLE THEN, AND THEN YOU NEED TO CONSIDER THE COST.
HE'S GONNA HAVE A TOTAL OF FOUR MINUTES.
GEMMA KENNEDY SEATED HER TIME.
I LIVE AT 2 43 EAST ATCH HERE IN SAN ANTONIO.
I'M CHAIRMAN OF THE ZONING COMMITTEE FOR THE MONTE VISTA HISTORICAL ASSOCIATION.
ALSO A MEMBER OF THE TIER ONE STEERING COMMITTEE AND ALSO SAT AT THE, UH, T CITY'S, UH, TOD TASK FORCE.
WE WELCOME DEVELOPMENT THAT WILL BRING NEW NEIGHBORS IN BUSINESSES TO MONTE VISTA.
HOWEVER, WE WANT TO ENSURE THAT THE INTRODUCTION OF ANY REVISED TOD DISTRICT REMAINS SENSITIVE TO THE RESIDENTIAL CHARACTER AND ALREADY BUILT ENVIRONMENT OF OUR HISTORIC DISTRICT.
WE ALSO SUPPORT A MORE EQUITABLE, EQUITABLE APPROACH TO THE IMPLEMENTATION OF TODD FOR ALL NEIGHBORHOODS IMPACTED BY THE PROPOSED TOD, THE PROVISIONS IN THE TOD IS CITYWIDE, NOT JUST FOR MONTE VISTA DAVITA.
THAT BEING SAID, WE REQUEST A PTAG TO APPROVE THE BOUNDARY MAPS THAT WERE RECOMMENDED FOR APPROVAL BY THE TOD TASK FORCE.
THESE PROPOSED MAPS WILL PROTECT CURRENT CITY FAMILY RESIDENTIAL PROPERTIES AND PROMOTE MIXED USE DEVELOPMENT IN APPROPRIATE AREAS OF OUR NEIGHBORHOOD.
CURRENTLY IN THE PROPOSED DRAFT, A TOD ZONING CAN BE APPLIED TO A SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL PROPERTY GREATER THAN HALF ONE HALF ACRE.
WE BELIEVE THE DRAFT SHOULD BE REVISED SO THAT ALL SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL ZONE LOTS, REGARDLESS OF SIZE, BE EXEMPT FROM TOD.
THESE TOD MAPS COULD BE EXPANDED IN THE FUTURE UNDER A UDC AMENDMENT WITH AN ADVERSE EFFECT OF INCREASED DENSITY IN ALREADY DENSE AREAS AND INCENTIVIZING IMPROPER DEVELOPMENT IN THESE AREAS.
ALWAYS RESIDENTIAL LOTS SHOULD HAVE EQUAL PROTECTION AND BE EXEMPT FROM TOD RESIDENTS IN SOUTH MONTE VISTA HAVE FELT THE IMPACT OF NORTH ST.
WE BELIEVE THAT PTACS SHOULD APPROVE THE SPECIAL AUTHORIZATION REQUIREMENT FOR THE USE OF ALCOHOL IN TOD DISTRICTS.
REQUIRING A SPECIAL AUTHORIZATION FOR AN ALCOHOL REQUEST, ALLOWS A NEIGHBORHOOD TO VOICE AN OPINION ON LIFE SAFETY ISSUES DURING THE REZONING PROCESS.
OVERALL, WE SUPPORT THE PROPOSED TOD WITH THE ABOVE REQUESTED CONSIDERATIONS.
WE THANK YOU VERY MUCH,
JOYCE IS GIVING, UM, HER TIME.
MY NAME IS MARIA GUADALUPE JOHNSON CASOS, AKA LUPITA.
I LEAD AT 92 0 2 RE RICO STREET, CROWN HILL PARK, TOD AMENDMENT.
I OPPOSE DEFINITELY CROWN HILL PARK LOCATED IN THE CENTER OF SAN ANTONIO, WHICH NOW IT SEEMS THAT WE ALL, WITH ALL THE DEVELOPMENT PLANNING, OUR AREA WILL BECOME THE CENTER OF SAN ANTONIO, HONORABLE RON BERGER, COUNCILWOMAN DISTRICT ONE, DISTRICT FIVE, DISTRICT SEVEN, AND DISTRICT 10.
AND WE DO RESPECT THE REST OF THE CITY COUNCIL REPRESENTATIVES, PLANNERS, ENGINEERS, DEVELOPERS, ET CETERA, ET CETERA.
ALL PUBLIC OFFICIALS ARE ELECTED TO REPRESENT ALL PARTIES THAT WILL BENEFIT GOVERNMENT, STATE AND CITY PLANNING.
BUT MOST IMPORTANT, THE IMPACTS AND CHANGES THAT WILL AFFECT LOCAL RESIDENTS, CONSTITUENTS THAT RESIDE IN THE AREA.
[02:20:01]
IT IS A REQUIREMENT BY ELECTED OFFICIALS TO INFORM CONSULTING BOARD, COLLABORATE, AND EMPOWER THROUGH HOA TO PROVIDE THE PUBLIC BALANCE AND OBJECTIVE INFORMATION TO ASSIST THEM IN UNDERSTANDING HOW PLANNING OPPORTUNITIES, TRANSPORTATION CHANGES IN OUR SOLUTIONS.A FACT SHEET MAILING TO HOE PRESIDENT RESIDENTS ABOUT A SPECIFIC PLANT HOUSING PROJECT TO OBTAIN FEEDBACK ON ANALYSIS ALTERNATIVES AND OR AGENCY DECISIONS INFORMED, LISTEN AND ACKNOWLEDGE CONCERNS AND ASPIRATIONS AND PROVIDE FEEDBACK ON HOW PUBLIC INPUT INFLUENCED THE DECISION.
THIS INCLUDES ASKING FOR INDIVIDUAL OPINIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS ON HOUSING WORKSHOPS.
INCLUDE THE COMMUNITY NON STAGES OF A ZONING OR HOUSING ELEMENT UPDATE TO ENSURE CONCERNS AND ASPIRATIONS ARE UNDERSTOOD AND CONSIDERED DELIBERATE POLLING PARTNER WITH PUBLIC IN EACH ASPECT OF THE HOUSING PLANNING PROCESS, INCLUDING THE DEVELOPMENTAL ALTERNATIVES AND THE IDENTIFICATION OF THE PREFERRED SOLUTION PLACE.
A FINAL DECISION MAKING IN THE HANDS OF THE PUBLIC.
CROWN HILL PARK WAS NOT EXCLUDED YET.
IT WILL AFFECT OUR COMMUNITY IN MANY ASPECTS.
I HAVE WITNESSED BURGLARIES IN PROGRESS CAR ACCIDENTS, AND I WAS SUMMONED TO WITNESS ON TWO INDIVIDUALS THAT DID A HOME INVASION ON CORONA.
SO I DID NOT HAVE TO SHOW AND TESTIFY.
THEY CAUGHT ONE, BUT THEY DID NOT CATCH THE OTHER ONE.
ONE OF 'EM GOT A 20 YEAR SENTENCE BECAUSE HE HAD A, UH, ASSAULT WEAPON OFFENSE AGAINST HIM.
SO WE TOOK ONE CRIMINAL OUT OF THE STREETS.
MY CONCERN IS THAT WE ARE THE HEART OF SAN ANTONIO AND WE SHOULD BE CONSIDERED.
THERE'S 322 HOMES IN CROWN HILL.
MOST OF THE PEOPLE WHEN I MOVED THERE WERE MILITARY RETIREES.
YOUNG PEOPLE WITH CHILDREN, THEY PLAY ON THE STREETS.
AND THEN WE HAVE THE TRAFFIC COMING THROUGH OUR NEIGHBORHOOD.
AND THAT IS THE REASON THAT WE APPROACH MAYOR CISNEROS AND THE CITY COUNCIL AT THAT TIME, TO PLACE A FENCE NORTH OF CROWN HILL SUBDIVISION BECAUSE THERE WAS SOMEONE KILLED PLAYING ON THE STREETS.
SO I AM ASKING THE PLANNERS, THE ENGINEERS, TO CONSIDER CROWN HILL IN THIS DECISION.
YOU WANT TO MOVE? DO YOU WANNA MOVE THE DOWNTOWN AREA TO OUR AREA PRACTICALLY? BUT YOU ARE INVADING OUR CROWN HILL SUBDIVISION.
SO PLANNERS, PLEASE TAKE INTO CONSIDERATION OUR RESIDENTS AT CROWN HILL SUBDIVISION.
FOUR MINUTES, CLARA O'NEIL HAS SEATED OUR TIME.
SANCHEZ FOLLOWED BY JEANETTE RELO.
AND MARIA, WHO'S IN BLUE, WAS GOING TO GIVE HER TIME TO ME AS WELL.
I LIVE AT 27 18 MONTEREY ON THE SILVER LINE, AND I WORK AT 9 22 SAN PEDRO, THE ESPERANZA PEACE IN JUSTICE CENTER, WHICH WOULD BE ON THE SILVER LINE.
UM, I'M HERE TO SAY I DON'T EVEN KNOW MUCH ABOUT WHAT'S BEEN GOING ON WITH TODD.
I WANNA THANK LETICIA FROM THE HISTORIC WEST SIDE RESIDENTS ASSOCIATION FOR KEEPING ME A LITTLE BIT ON TOP OF THIS
UM, BUT IT HAS BEEN FAST PACED AND I'M CONCERNED, UH, FOR THE ESPERANZA, WHICH HAS BEEN IN THIS BUILDING FOR 30 YEARS.
UM, WE HAVE A CULTURAL ARTS ORGANIZATION WHERE THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE COME ON A YEARLY BASIS INTO THAT SPACE.
SO HOW DOES THE TODD AFFECT OUR COMMUNITY OF PEOPLE ATTENDING? WE LIVE
[02:25:01]
NEXT TO A LOT OF SENIOR HOUSING AND DISABLED PEOPLE'S HOUSING.HOW WILL THEY BE AFFECTED? WILL THEY BE DISPLACED? UM, I KNOW RIGHT NOW THIS BUILDING WAS BUILT IN 1907.
IT'S HISTORIC AND JUST HAVING THE VIA BUSES STOP IN FRONT OF US OR NOW A BLOCK AWAY HAS HURT OUR BUILDING.
THE STRUCTURES AGAIN, THAT'S BEEN AROUND OVER A HUNDRED YEARS.
AND WE STARTED SEEING THE THE SIDEWALKS ARE ALWAYS CRACKED.
PEOPLE ARE ALWAYS STRIPPING ON SAN PEDRO.
UM, WE HAD TO FIGHT THE CITY TO GET MAJOR PIPES BUILT THERE SO THAT THE WATER WOULD COME DOWN BECAUSE IT WAS JUST FLOODING INTO OUR BUILDING AND AGAIN, MESSING UP OUR BUILDING INSIDE.
AND, YOU KNOW, WHEN VIA PASSES BY
SO HOW, HOW DOES THIS AFFECT US IN THE FUTURE, UH, WITH THE EAST WEST? I MEAN, I LIVE ONE BLOCK SOUTH OF BUENA VISTA STREET, AND UP TILL JUST A FEW MONTHS AGO, ALL THOSE HOUSES, SINGLE RESIDENTIAL HOMES BUILT IN THE NINE, YOU KNOW, 19 HUNDREDS TO 19 FIFTEENS WE'RE ALL, UH, ZONE MULTIFAMILY, 33
SO, YOU KNOW, WHAT DOES THAT MEAN? I MEAN, THANK GOODNESS WE FOUGHT AND PUSHED, BUT IT TOOK ALMOST TWO YEARS TO GET THOSE CHANGES HAPPENING, BUT WE'RE CONCERNED, UM, THAT IT STILL, I MEAN, WE WERE WORKING WITH, UH, FOLKS IN THE PLANNING DEPARTMENT AND ALL OUR ZONING AND, AND LAND USE COLORS WERE PURPLE.
AND IT'S LIKE, WHY AREN'T THEY YELLOW? BECAUSE WE'RE SINGLE RE YOU KNOW, WE'RE SINGLE FAMILY DWELLINGS.
THE BIGGEST THING IS ALL, NOT THE BIGGEST THING.
ANOTHER CONCERN IS THE DISPLACEMENT OF OUR COMMUNITIES.
WE'RE SEEING THAT ALL THESE LITTLE CORNERS, YOU KNOW, WALGREENS JUST CLOSED DOWN.
WILL THERE BE A FOUR STORY BUILDING THERE? UM, OUR AVERAGE INCOME IN THE WEST SIDE IS IN SEVEN EIGHT.
WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO BUILD HOMES WHERE, YOU KNOW, PEOPLE AT 60 AND $50,000 COME IN? THAT'S AN AUTOMATIC DISPLACEMENT OF OUR COMMUNITY BECAUSE WE WON'T, YOU KNOW, OUR FOLKS WILL BE PUSHED OUT AND WE WON'T BE ABLE TO EVEN RENT FROM THOSE SPACES.
UM, AND THE CONGESTION IS THE CONSTANT.
UM, THE HAS COLORADO AND THE FOUR STORY APARTMENT COMPLEX WAS BUILT BY SAHA AND NRP.
AND WE CHALLENGED AND WE, WE PLEADED THAT WE WANTED THE, WE WANTED HOUSING, BUT IT SHOULD BE HISTORICALLY RELEVANT.
LOOK, AT LEAST TWO STORIES AND FOUR STORIES DIDN'T MAKE SENSE.
WE TALKED ABOUT TRAFFIC, WE TALKED ABOUT ALL THE CHILDREN WHO GO TO JT AND, AND TAFOYA AND HOW THEY WERE GONNA BE AFFECTED AND THEIR MOTHERS AND, AND THE PARENTS WHO WALK THEIR CHILDREN THERE.
IT HAS BEEN HORROR WOMEN WHO ARE PART OF OUR MU ARTES, UH, ORGANIZATION THAT HAVE DIABETES, THAT HAVE LOST THEIR FOOT, THAT ARE IN WHEELCHAIRS, DON'T EVEN HAVE THE CAPACITY TO HAVE VIA TRANS GO THERE BECAUSE AGAIN, PEOPLE ARE PARKED ON BOTH SIDES AND 18 WHEELERS COMING IN FROM, UH, ANOTHER PLACE ARE COMING THROUGH.
SO IT'S, IT'S CRAZY, CRAZY CRAZY.
AND I CAN'T IMAGINE IN THE WEST SIDE HOW WE'RE GONNA BE AFFECTED BECAUSE THOSE HOUSE, THOSE STREETS ARE SMALL.
AFTER THAT WE HAVE TONY MARIE VAN BURN, FOLLOWED BY ANN VAN PELTZ.
HOW? HELLO? UM, MY NAME IS JEANETTE RICO AND I LIVE AT THE ALZA APACHE COURTS.
I WANT TO ASK THAT THIS ZONING CODE INCLUDED PARKING AND DEVELOPMENTS THAT, UM, THAT ARE ALONG THE RESIDENTIAL NEIGHBORHOODS.
I HAVE HAD SCARY SITUATIONS IN MY NEIGHBORHOOD WHERE FOUR STORY APARTMENTS, UM, WERE BUILT AND NOW MY WALK TO DROP OFF MY CHILDREN AT THE ELEMENTARY SCHOOL THAT IS JUST THREE BLOCKS FROM MY APARTMENT HAS BECOME VERY DANGEROUS.
THIS IS BECAUSE NOW THERE ARE SO MANY CARS, UM, FROM RESIDENCE, UM, OF THIS APARTMENT COMPLEX PARKED ALONG OUR RESIDENTIAL STREETS AND THEY BLOCK OUR VIEW OF CARS VIA TRANSPORTATION AND SCHOOL BUSES AND 18 WHEELERS DRIVING DOWN THEIR STREETS.
IT IS A MIRACLE THAT NO ONE HAS GOTTEN KILLED, BUT IT COULD HAPPEN IF PARKING IS NOT, UM, RES REQUIRED AND, UM,
[02:30:01]
AND TAUGHT DEVELOPMENTS IN RESIDENTIAL NEIGHBORHOODS, THE SAME MESS WILL HAPPEN.UM, I COULD SAY DITTO AND, YOU KNOW, GIVE YOU SOME TIME BACK, BUT I'M NOT GOING TO.
I AM THE IMMEDIATE PAST PRESIDENT OF THE MONTE VISTA HISTORICAL ASSOCIATION.
UM, AND THIS HAS BEEN A HOT TOPIC WITH US.
UM, AS YOU CAN SEE FROM THE ROOM, UM, I SUPPORT THE APPROVAL OF THE CUSTOMIZED TOD BOUNDARY MAPS AS RECOMMENDED FOR APPROVAL BY COSTLESS TASK FORCE.
THESE PROPOSED MAPS WILL PROTECT SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL PROPERTIES FROM BECOMING TOD DISTRICTS.
I SUPPORT THE EXCLUSION OF ALL SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL ZONED PROPERTIES REGARDLESS OF SIZE FROM TOD ZONING.
CURRENTLY, THE PROPOSED TOD CAN APPLY TO A SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL PROPERTY GREATER THAN HALF AN ACRE.
THIS WOULD INCENTIVIZE THE IMPROPER DEVELOPMENT IN RESIDENTIAL AREAS.
I SUPPORT THE APPROVAL OF A SPECIAL AUTHORIZATION REQUIREMENT FOR THE USE OF ALCOHOL IN TOD DISTRICTS.
A SPECIAL AUTH AUTHORIZATION ALLOWS NEIGHBORHOODS TO VOICE AN OPINION IN THE SAFETY, UH, IN SAFETY AND LIFE RELATED ISSUES DURING THE REZONING PROCESS.
SO THANK Y'ALL VERY MUCH, UM, FOR A LONG AFTERNOON.
AND VAN PEL FOLLOWED BY REBECCA SIMMONS.
I LIVE IN, UH, MONTE VISTA AT 1 1 9 WEST ATCH.
DO YOU HEAR THE PASSION? DO YOU HEAR THE PASSION FROM PEOPLE? YOU ALL HAVE SUCH A RESPONSIBILITY AND I'M SO PROUD TO LOOK YOU IN THE EYE AND SAY THANK YOU.
IT'S A BIG JOB TRYING TO MANAGE A CITY, TRYING TO REZONE, TRYING TO TAKE CARE OF EVERYBODY.
THINK CAREFULLY, HEAR THE PASSION.
I SUPPORT JUST LIKE EVERYBODY ELSE.
UH, TONY, UH, MY GARCIA, MY GOOD FRIEND, WORKED REALLY HARD ON IT AND SO DID SO MANY OTHER PEOPLE.
WE CANNOT EXCLUDE LOTS OVER AT HALF AN ACRE BECAUSE THEY ARE THE HEART OF MANY COMMUNITIES, NOT JUST MONTE VISTA.
AND HAVING, UH, ALCOHOL BE A JUST AN AUTOMATIC IS NOT THE WAY ANY COMMUNITY SHOULD HAPPEN.
ALCOHOL BRINGS LOTS OF PROBLEMS WITH IT.
IT JUST HAS TO BE CAREFULLY DONE.
BUT PARKING AND TRAFFIC ARE GOING TO AFFECT ALL OF US MORE THAN YOU CAN IMAGINE.
TRAFFIC IN MONTE VISTA, IT HAS INCREASED ALREADY CLOSED DOWN ONE LANE EACH WAY ON SAN PEDRO BETWEEN, UM, HILDEBRAND AND ASHBY IS GOING TO AFFECT BOTH SIDES, NOT JUST MONTE VISTA, BUT ALL THE COMMUNITY ON THE OTHER SIDE.
THIS IS BECOMING A, A, A RAPID TRANSIT CORRIDOR.
WE'RE RUSHING TO AND GOING FROM, AND WE'RE NOT, I MEAN, I WATCH PEOPLE RUN STOP SIGNS.
I WATCH PEOPLE ON HILDEBRAND RUN THAT TRAFFIC LIGHT.
PLEASE CONSIDER TRAFFIC AND PLEASE CONSIDER PARKING.
YOU CANNOT JUST SAY, LET THEM PARK ON THE STREET.
I COME FROM THE NORTHEAST WHERE EVERYBODY HAD A PARKING PERMIT AND YOU COULDN'T PARK.
OTHERWISE, YOU CAN'T JUST BUILD A BUILDING AND SAY THERE'S NO PARKING.
THANK YOU SO MUCH AND HEAR THE PASSION.
NEXT WE HAVE MARY JOHNSON, FOLLOWED BY JACK FINGER.
I'M THE VICE PRESIDENT OF THE MONTE VISTA TERRACE NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATION.
AND I WOULD JUST LIKE TO SAY THAT WE HAD NO REPRESENTATION ON THE TASK FORCE AS, UH, ALMOST PARK TERRACE DID NOT.
CROWN HILL PARK, AS WE ALL HEARD, KING WILLIAM NORTH, CENTRAL NORTH, SHE HILLS, NORTHMORE, AND KENWOOD.
OUR NEIGHBORHOOD WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE MASS AREA REZONING THAT HAPPENED, UM, WHICH WOULD'VE CORRECTED INCOMPATIBLE ZONING WITHIN OUR RESIDE, WITHIN OUR NEIGHBORHOOD, AS IT WOULD'VE BEEN CONSIDERED SPOT ZONING.
WE WERE TOLD, UM, MANY OTHER NEIGHBORHOODS HAVE THE SAME ISSUE.
WE HAVE FOUR HOMES ON RIDGEWOOD, CURRENTLY RESIDENTIAL USES ZONED OH TWO
[02:35:01]
AND TWO ON NORWOOD RESIDENTIAL USES AS WELL, AND THEY'RE ZONED IN MF 33.WE ALSO HAVE PART OF A, OF AN APARTMENT COMPLEX IN OUR NEIGHBORHOOD, AND ALL THOSE PROPERTIES ARE INCLUDED IN THIS TOD MAP.
THE PEOPLE LIVING IN THOSE APARTMENTS WILL MOST CERTAINLY BE DISPLACED AS ALLURE FROM LUCRATIVE OFFERS TO CURRENT OWNERS FROM INVESTMENT GROUPS LOOKING TO PROFIT OFF THE FUTURE DEVELOPMENT, SELL THE PROPERTIES THAT CURRENTLY OFFER AFFORDABLE APARTMENTS FOR THESE PEOPLE THAT ALREADY LIVE, WORK AND PLAY HERE.
I WAS INVITED TO ONE SUBCOMMITTEE MEETING AND SAW WHAT WAS HAPPENING.
AS THE BOUNDARIES ARE BEING DRAWN, IT WAS OBVIOUS THAT THEY HAD NO CLUE OUR LITTLE NEIGHBORHOOD AS WELL AS OTHERS ALONG THE CORRIDOR WHEN IT COMES TO, UH, RESIDENTIAL USES THAT ARE ON IMPROPERLY ZONED PROPERTIES.
AND AS WE ALL HEARD, A LOT OF THE SAFETY ISSUES THAT WE KNOW BECAUSE WE KNOW OUR COMMUNITIES, UM, I THINK IT IS REPREHENSIBLE THAT SO MANY NEIGHBORHOODS THAT WE, THAT WILL BE MOSTLY DIRECT, MOST DIRECTLY AFFECTED BY THE TOD HAD NO VOICE ON THIS TASK FORCE.
WE ALL KNOW THAT AFTER THIS PASSES COUNCIL, THE CARVING OF OUR OLDER NEIGHBORHOODS, THE CARVING UP OF OUR OLDER NEIGHBORHOODS THAT HAD NO SEAT ON THE TASK FORCE WILL COMMENCE BECAUSE THE TOD WILL BE USED AS A MEANS TO AN END.
WE WILL NOT HAVE THE SAME RE RESOURCES THE INVESTMENT GROUPS HAVE OR THE TIME TO FIGHT FOR THE PLACES WE ALREADY LIVE, WORK, AND PLAN IN.
WELL, MEMBERS OF THE COMMISSION, MY NAME IS JACK M.
FINGER AND, UH, I TOOK A TAB HERE.
I OVER 80 PEOPLE HAVE SPOKEN EITHER ON PHONE OR IN PERSON, AND ONLY 3% OF THEM WERE WHOLEHEARTEDLY IN FAVOR OF THIS SITE.
NOW, ADMITTEDLY, MOST OF THOSE CALLERS WHERE THEY WERE READING FROM A SCRIPT, I AS A PUBLIC SERVICE, I WILL NOT READ FROM A SCRIPT FOR YOU.
DO YOU REALIZE WHAT A GIGANTIC CATASTROPHE YOU HAVE IN THE MAKING HERE? THE, YOU'VE HEARD ALL THE COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE PROPOSED PROBLEMS, THE PARKING, LACK OF REQUIREMENTS FOR IT, THE TRAFFIC THAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN HERE, THE ALCOHOL ISSUE, ALL THESE THINGS.
BUT NOW YOU, MOST OF YOU FOLKS HERE ON BEHIND THIS DIOCESE ARE AND FROM THE DEVELOPERS COMMUNITY, YES.
YOU'RE GONNA SAY, WELL, WE, WE CAN SO THROW THE, THE RESIDENTS OF BONE AND WE WON'T WORRY ABOUT IT.
DON'T YOU REALIZE YOU ARE GOING TO GO OUT OF BUSINESS? HOW, WHY? BECAUSE YOUR CUSTOMERS ARE ON SAN PEDRO.
THEY WILL GO OUT OF BUSINESS BECAUSE THEIR CUSTOMERS CANNOT GET TO THEM AND GIVE THEM MONEY SO THEY CAN GIVE MONEY TO YOU.
WHY? BECAUSE THE LOOK AT THE MAPS, THE BUSES, BUS LANES, YOU CAN'T GET ACROSS SAN PEDRO EVEN WITH A CAR YOU CAN'T GET ACROSS SAN PEDRO FOR THEY, IF CUSTOMERS CANNOT GET ACROSS, ACROSS SAN PEDRO, THEIR CUSTOMERS WON'T MAKE ANY MONEY.
THAT'S HOW THIS, DO YOU WANT ANOTHER LIGHT RAIL DEBACLE LIKE WE HAD YEARS AGO? THAT'S WHAT THIS IS IN THE MAKING HERE.
PLEASE SAY NO TO THIS CRAZY THING.
THE, YOU, YOU'RE GONNA SAY, WELL, WE'LL GET A FEW BUCKS FROM THE, FROM THE GOVERNMENT.
NO, YOUR CUSTOMERS, YOU'RE GONNA MAKE LOSE OUT OF MONEY FROM YOUR CUSTOMERS ALONG SAN PEDRO AND FOR THAT MATTER ALONG COMMERCE AND ELSEWHERE THERE.
I WORK FOR THE COALITION FOR DIGNIFIED HOUSING, WHICH INCLUDES THE ESP JUSTICE CENTER, A DOMESTIC WORKERS UNION, AND THE HISTORIC WEST SIDE RESIDENCE ASSOCIATION.
AND WE REJECT THE APPROVAL OF TODD ALONG ALL HISTORIC AND WORKING CLASS FAMILY NEIGHBORHOODS BECAUSE WE BELIEVE IT WILL, IT WILL INCENTIVIZE GENTRIFICATION AND THE IMPROPER DEVELOPMENT OF HOUSING THAT DOES NOT REFLECT THE EXISTING NATURE OF THE PEOPLE WHO LIVE THERE, OR THE CULTURAL LANDSCAPE OF A BUILT ENVIRONMENT ALREADY IN PLACE.
THE MAJORITY OF OUR RESIDENTS ARE LOWER INCOME WORKING CLASS FAMILIES AND LEGACY HOMEOWNERS WHO ARE ALREADY FACING THE ECONOMIC PRESSURES OF FIGHTING CODE COMPLIANCE SANCTIONS AND THE MAINTEN OF THEIR AGING HOMES.
WE'RE ALSO HOME TO SEVERAL PUBLIC HOUSING AND HUD SUBSIDIZED SENIOR HOUSING APARTMENTS.
AND UNLIKE OTHER RESIDENTS HAVE WHO'VE COMMENTED TODAY, WE ABSOLUTELY LOVE OUR NEIGHBORS.
[02:40:01]
ECONOMIC AND COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT, WE BELIEVE THAT THIS, IT SHOULD NOT DISPLACE LOW INCOME RESIDENTS TO REPLACE THEM WITH HIGHER INCOME HOUSEHOLDS, WHICH WE FEAR THIS NEW TODD REZONING WILL DO.PLEASE EXCLUDE ALL SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL HOMES FROM TODD.
AND IF WE CANNOT FORCE TODD DEVELOPERS TO KEEP RENTS AND BUSINESSES DEEPLY AFFORDABLE FOR, UM, THEN WE THINK IT WILL CAUSE MORE HARM THAN GOOD.
IF TODD DOES GET ADOPTED, WE ASK THAT THE CITY PERMANENTLY FUND A RESIDENT DISPLACEMENT AND HOME THE MILITIAN MITIGATION PLAN.
HE UNFORTUNATELY HAD TO LEAVE.
I'M GONNA GO AHEAD AND, UH, READ HIS COMMENT.
MEMBERS OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION AND TECHNICAL ADVISORY COMMITTEE, MY NAME IS JOEY P*****K, NATIVE SAN ANTONIO TRANSIT USER, YOUR AVERAGE BIKE COMMUTER, AND THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR OF ACTIVE SA, A LOCAL ACTIVE TRANSPORTATION AND TRANSIT ADVOCACY ORGANIZATION.
I AM HERE TODAY TO EXPRESS MY STRONG SUPPORT FOR THE UPCOMING RECOMMENDATIONS FROM THE STAFF.
BASED ON THE EXTENSIVE WORK OF THE TRANSIT ORIENTED DEVELOPMENT FORCE TASK FORCE.
THE RECOMMENDATIONS THAT I HAVE EMERGED FROM THE TOD TASK FORCE REPRESENT THE ACCUMULATION OF AN INCLUSIVE COLLABORATIVE PROCESS THAT TOOK PLACE OVER SEVERAL MONTHS.
A WIDE RANGE OF PERSPECTIVES WERE CONSIDERED AND NUMEROUS CONCESSIONS WERE MADE TO ENSURE CONSENSUS AND BALANCE IN THE FINAL PROPOSALS.
I BELIEVE THAT THE HALF ACRE LIMITATION, PARKING MINIMUMS AND MAPS ARE KEY COMPONENTS THAT REFLECT THE DIVERSE NEED OF OUR COMMUNITY.
THESE MEASURES STRIKE AN IMPORTANT BALANCE BETWEEN PROMOTING DENSITY AND DEVELOPING NEAR TRANSIT HUBS, WHILE STILL ADDRESSING CONCERNS RAISED DURING THE TASK FORCE PROCESS.
I ENCOURAGE YOUR COMMITTEE TO APPROVE THESE RECOMMENDATIONS AS PRESENTED.
THESE STEPS ARE CRITICAL TO FOSTERING TRANSIT ORIENTED GROWTH AND MAKING HOUSING MORE AFFORDABLE AND ACCESSIBLE TO ALL IN OUR GREAT CITY.
LET'S MOVE TOWARD A FUTURE WITH A ROBUST MULTI MODEL TRANSPORTATION SYSTEM THAT IS PAIRED WITH AFFORDABLE HOUSING, ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT, EQUITY, NEIGHBORHOOD ENHANCEMENT, AND WALKABLE BIKEABLE SHADED STREETS TO GIVE US ALL.
A BETTER SHOT, QUALITY AND LIFE OPENS UP AVENUES TO A BETTER FUTURE FOR ALL SAN ANTONIO'S THROUGH TARGETED POLICY THAT ALLOWS MY NEIGHBORS TO LIVE A FULL AND COMPLETE LIFE WITHOUT SPENDING WILLIAM LONG.
UM, WELL GO AHEAD AND SAY I AGREE WITH EVERYTHING THAT JOEY WAS TRYING TO SAY THERE.
UM, MY NAME IS WILLIAM LONG AND I REPRESENT MY FAMILY, FRIENDS AND NEIGHBORS IN THE HARMONY HILLS AND ALTA VISTA NEIGHBORHOOD, UH, NEIGHBORHOOD AREAS.
WE WANNA MAKE SURE THAT EVERYONE KNOWS THAT BOTH THE HARMONY HILLS AND ALTA VISTA HOAS DON'T SPEAK FOR US.
UM, I'VE, UH, YOU KNOW, WE'VE, WE'VE HAD OUR HOME IN ALTA VISTA FOR LIKE 50 PLUS YEARS AND WE'VE GONE TO ONE MEETING, SO THAT'S HOW MUCH WE APPRECIATE THEM.
UM, AND EVEN LESS NOW, UH, UH, MOST RECENTLY ON FACEBOOK, ON ON FRIDAY, THEY, UH, GOT CAUGHT UP IN SO MUCH MISINFORMATION ABOUT THIS IN THE VIA PROJECT THAT THEY HAD TO CHANGE THEIR NAME, UH, UH, AND, AND DISASSOCIATE THE NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATION.
SO, UM, I THINK THAT SPEAKS VOLUMES.
UH, AT THE LAST MEETING I MENTIONED THAT ALL OF OUR FRIENDS AND NEIGHBORS IN BOTH NEIGHBORHOODS THAT I'VE SPOKEN WITH ARE IN SUPPORT OF THE SAN ANTONIO'S TOD POLICY AND VIAS A RT PROJECT.
UH, MY MOM'S HOUSE IN ALTA VISTA IS AT THE NEIGHBORHOOD, UH, IS AT THE CORNER OF WEST WOODLAWN AND BREEDEN, WHICH IS ONE BLOCK WEST OF SAN PEDRO.
IN TOTAL, MY FAMILY HAS FIVE PROPERTIES WITHIN TWO BLOCKS OF SAN PEDRO.
WE ALL SUPPORT THE TOD POLICY.
WE ALL SUPPORT THE VART PROJECT, AND OVERALL, WE FEEL IT WILL ALLOW US TO MORE EASILY ENJOY OUR NEIGHBORHOODS.
THANK YOU TO THE CITY STAFF AND TOD COMMITTEE FOR YOUR EFFORTS IN CREATING THE TOD POLICY.
AND, UH, AS YOU CAN SEE, EVEN THOUGH I'M, I'M VERY, VERY INJURED, I I DIDN'T WANNA MISS MY CHANCE TO SUPPORT BOTH THE TOD POLICY AND VIA A RT.
SO THANK YOU ALL FOR YOUR TIME.
THAT CONCLUDES PUBLIC COMMENT.
ALRIGHT, UM, JUST LIKE TO EXTEND THANKS TO EVERYBODY THAT CAME TO SPEAK TODAY, APPRECIATE ALL YOUR COMMENTS AND YOUR TIME COMING DOWN TO THE MEETING.
UM, WITH THAT, WE WILL CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING AND MOVE ON
[New Business ]
TO OUR NEW BUSINESS.WE'RE GONNA MOVE, WE'RE GONNA START WITH ITEM NUMBER TWO.
[02:45:08]
ALL RIGHT, GOOD AFTERNOON.MAKE SURE, OH, YOU'RE GONNA PULL IT UP.
SO, GOOD AFTERNOON COMMITTEE MEMBERS.
I'M THE DIRECTOR FOR OUR CITY'S TRANSPORTATION DEPARTMENT.
UM, SOME OF YOU MAY REMEMBER ME FROM MY, UH, BACK IN THE DAYS OF, UH, BEING IN DEVELOPMENT SERVICES.
SO IT'S A PLEASURE TO BE IN FRONT OF YOU, UM, ON WORKING ON THIS IMPORTANT MEASURE.
UH, SO TODAY WHAT WE'RE GONNA BE TALKING ABOUT, UH, IS, UM, PROPOSED AMENDMENTS TO AN EXISTING TOD ZONING CODE.
YOU KNOW WHAT, I'M GONNA USE THE, THERE, I'M GONNA USE THE KEYBOARD.
SO FOR THOSE THAT MAY NOT BE AWARE, VIAS MOVING FORWARD WITH AN ADVANCED RAPID TRANSIT LINE.
AND THE FIRST MAJOR PROJECT IS THE GREEN LINE THAT RUNS ALONG SAN PEDRO WITH THE CONSTRUCTION LIMITS FROM THE AIR, FROM FROM THE AIRPORT TO STEVE'S.
THE PROJECT INCLUDES CENTER RUNNING LANES IN CERTAIN LOCATIONS THAT YOU SEE ON THIS SLIDE, AS WELL AS BUSINESS ACCESS LANES, SIMILAR TO WHAT YOU SEE IN THE DOWNTOWN AREA.
THIS PROJECT ALLOWS THE CITY TO ALIGN THE WORK WE DO TO PLAN THE CITY AND FOCUS INVESTMENTS THAT BRING ABOUT GOOD CHANGE AROUND TRANSIT.
TRANSIT ORIENTED DEVELOPMENT IS AN OPPORTUNITY TO ADDRESS RISING COSTS RELATED TO TRANSPORTATION AND HOUSING BY CREATING DEVELOPMENT PATTERNS THAT ENCOURAGE DENSITY AND IMPROVED ACCESS TO A RANGE OF USES SUCH AS JOBS, RETAIL SERVICES IN SCHOOLS.
AS A RESULT OF AN ENHANCED TRANSIT CORRIDOR, POLICY CHANGES ARE NEEDED TO ENABLE THIS TO OCCUR WHILE STILL PROTECTING OUR ESTABLISHED VIBRANT NEIGHBORHOODS.
THE PROCESS STARTED LATE LAST YEAR WITH THE CREATION OF A TECHNICAL WORKING GROUP UNDER THE HOUSING COMMISSION WHOSE CHARGE WAS TO WORK ON RECOMMENDATIONS TO UPDATE THE UDC TO SUPPORT HOUSING NEAR TRANSIT.
A REMOVING BARRIERS SUBCOMMITTEE UNDER THE HOUSING COMMISSION CONTINUES THEIR EFFORTS TO IMPLEMENT THE STRATEGIC HOUSING IMPLEMENTATION PLAN, ADOPTED BY COUNCIL WITH A FOCUS TO PROVIDE RECOMMENDATIONS WITHIN THE POLICY FRAMEWORK THAT ADDRESS HOUSING AFFORDABILITY AND ANTI DISPLACEMENT.
AS THIS WAS A COMMON THING WE'VE HEARD DURING OUR EARLY ENGAGEMENT EFFORTS, AS WELL AS WHAT YOU'VE HEARD TODAY.
FOLLOWING THE CREATION OF THE TECHNICAL WORKING GROUP, A CCR WAS SUBMITTED TO CREATE A TRANSIT-ORIENTED DEVELOPMENT PLAN.
IN JANUARY, GOVERNANCE RECOMMENDED STAFF MOVE FORWARD WITH THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE PLAN AND THE CREATION OF A TASK FORCE TO MAKE RECOMMENDATIONS TO UPDATE THE EXISTING TOD ZONING DISTRICT.
ALL THIS WORK ULTIMATELY CULMINATES WITH THE DEVELOPMENT OF A TRANSIT-ORIENTED POLICY FRAMEWORK.
THIS PROCESS INCLUDED SEVERAL PHASES OF ENGAGEMENT TO EDUCATE AND RECEIVE INPUT INTO THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE FRAMEWORK AS WELL AS THE UPDATED ZONING CODE.
SINCE THE KICKOFF OF THE PROJECT IN THE SPRING, WE'VE HELD OR ATTENDED OVER 75 MEETINGS AND EVENTS.
OUR SURVEY HAD OVER A THOUSAND PARTICIPANTS IN OUR ESSAY SPEAKUP SITE THAT INCLUDED ALL THE INFORMATION FROM THE TASK FORCE AND COMMITTEES HAD OVER 23,000 VISITS.
THE CURRENT TOD ZONING DISTRICT WAS ADOPTED WITH THE ORIGINAL ADOPTION OF THE UNIFIED DEVELOPMENT CODE OR UDC BACK IN 2001.
AND IN OVER 20 YEARS, IT HAS ONLY BEEN USED THREE TIMES.
THE CURRENT TOD IS CURRENTLY ALLOWED ANYWHERE WITHIN A HALF MILE OF ANY BUS STOP.
THIS MEANS THAT THERE ARE NO GUARDRAILS LIMITING IT, IT'S ALSO NOT CONTEXT SENSITIVE TO NEIGHBORHOODS.
THERE'S NO HEIGHT LIMITATIONS, NO REAR SETBACKS.
IT'S JUST BASICALLY A GOOD DISTRICT TO APPLY TO VACANT PROPERTY TO CREATE A MIXED USE DEVELOPMENT NEAR A BUS LINE.
THIS PROCESS IS ONLY TO UPDATE THE CODE, SO IT ALLOWS FOR OPTIONS FOR DEVELOPMENT WHILE RESPECTING NEIGHBORHOODS.
THIS PROCESS DOES NOT REZONE ANY PROPERTY, MEANING THAT APPLICANTS WANTING TO REZONE TO THE NEW TOD CODE WILL STILL BE REQUIRED TO GO THROUGH THE REZONING PROCESS.
SO WHY DO WE NEED TO UPDATE THE CODE? TOD IS AN OPPORTUNITY TO REALIZE BENEFITS ALONG OUR DEDICATED ADVANCED RAPID TRANSIT CORRIDORS.
THESE BENEFITS INCLUDE COMPACT, LIVABLE, AND WALKABLE NEIGHBORHOODS WITH MULTIMODAL TRANSPORTATION ACCESS WHILE STRENGTHENING AND SUSTAINING OUR ESTABLISHED NEIGHBORHOODS.
THE REVIEW OF THE CURRENT CODE ALLOWS US THE OPPORTUNITY TO ENSURE THAT OUR, THAT OUR TOD ZONING CODE IS ALIGNED WITH TRUE TRANSIT, CREATE PROTECTIONS FOR ESTABLISHED RESIDENTIAL NEIGHBORHOODS, AND CREATE A BETTER CODE, CREATING WALKABILITY TO PROVIDE A RECOMMENDATION ON AN UPDATED CODE.
THE TASK FORCE WAS CREATED EARLIER THIS YEAR AND INCLUDES REPRESENTATION FROM 13 REGISTERED NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATIONS AND COUNCIL DISTRICTS AND 13 RESIDENTS REPRESENTING ORGANIZATIONS THAT ARE EXPERTS IN TRANSPORTATION DEVELOPMENT AND HOUSING INDUSTRIES, AS WELL AS OUR PARTNER AGENCIES SUCH AS VIA
[02:50:01]
CENTRAL AND MPO, THE METROPOLITAN PLANNING ORGANIZATION.THE TASK FORCE BEGAN MEETING IN FEBRUARY OF THIS YEAR.
IN TOTAL, THE TASK FORCE MET SEVEN TIMES OVER EIGHT MONTHS.
ADDITIONALLY, THE PROCESS INCLUDED THE FORMATION OF A SUBCOMMITTEE THAT INCLUDED 23 ADDITIONAL RESIDENTS, INCLUDING MEMBERS OF THE TASK FORCE AND OTHERS FROM DIFFERENT AREAS OF THE CITY.
THE SUBCOMMITTEE WAS ASKED BY THE TASK FORCE TO DO A DEEPER DIVE ON THE APPLICABILITY IN THE LANGUAGE TO PROTECT EXISTING RESIDENTIAL NEIGHBORHOODS, ESPECIALLY IN, IN OUR CORE OF THE CITY.
THE ORIGINAL 36 SQUARE MILES, THE SUBCOMMITTEE MET EIGHT TIMES OVER TWO AND A HALF MONTHS TO PROVIDE A RECOMMENDATION TO THE TASK FORCE TO CONSIDER ALMOST 50 COMMUNITY MEMBERS WERE PART OF THIS PROCESS, AND I DO WANNA THANK THEM FOR THEIR HARD WORK AND DEDICATION TO THIS PROCESS.
SO SEVERAL, THE AMENDMENTS TO THE CODE INCLUDE THE CREATION OF THREE CATEGORIES OF TOD DISTRICTS.
THE TRANSITION DISTRICT IS RESERVED FOR RESIDENTIAL USES AT A MAXIMUM OF FIVE UNITS, AND THIS ALLOWS THE MIX OF HOUSING TYPES TO ADDRESS OUR NEED FOR ADDITIONAL HOUSING.
AND THIS DISTRICT SERVES AS A TRANSITION FROM MORE INTENSE DISTRICTS.
THE MIXED USE DISTRICT CATEGORY ALLOWS FOR A MIX OF USES SUCH AS RETAIL SERVICE, OFFICE AND RESIDENTIAL USES.
AND THIS CATEGORY INCLUDES FOUR DISTINCT LEVELS OF INTENSITY THAT ALLOW FOR INCREASED HEIGHT.
THIS DISTRICT IS TO PROMOTE COMPACT, WALKABLE AND SUSTAINABLE NEIGHBORHOODS.
THE HYBRID INDUSTRIAL DISTRICT ALLOWS FOR A MIX OF LIGHT INDUSTRIAL AND OTHER USES WITH TWO LEVELS OF INTENSITY FOR INCREASED HEIGHT AND SERVES AS A TRANSITION TO THE MIXED USE DISTRICTS.
THIS IS A DISTRICT THAT YOU WOULD TYPICALLY SEE AT INTERSECTIONS OF MAJOR ARTERIALS OR AT HIGHWAYS AND THE TRANSIT CORRIDOR.
THE WORK THAT THE TASK FORCE DID INCLUDES RECOMMENDING STANDARDS THAT PROTECT NEIGHBORHOODS FROM INCOMPATIBLE DEVELOPMENT.
THE CODE NOW INCORPORATES STANDARDS THAT CURRENTLY EXIST IN OUR UDC, INCLUDING HEIGHT RESTRICTIONS THAT ENSURE HEIGHT COMPATIBILITY WITH A BUDDING SINGLE FAMILY HOMES.
AS SHOWN ON THE FIRST GRAPHIC, THE TASK FORCE ALSO RECOMMENDED UNIQUE STANDARDS THAT INCLUDE CHARACTERISTICS TO CREATE PEDESTRIAN ENVIRONMENTS, SUCH AS MINIMUM DISTANCES BETWEEN DOORS ALONG THE CORRIDOR AND WINDOW REQUIREMENTS TO CREATE TRANSPARENCY INSTEAD OF LARGE AMOUNTS OF BLINK WALLS.
SO, AS I MENTIONED PREVIOUSLY, THE CURRENT TOD ZONING DISTRICT ALLOWS ANYONE TO REQUEST TO REZONE WITHIN A HALF MILE OF ANY BUS STOP.
THIS MEANS THAT ANY OF THESE PROPERTIES IN ORANGE ARE ELIGIBLE TO REZONE TO THE CURRENT TOD ZONING.
DISTRICT TO D SHOULD BE SPECIFIC TO CORRIDORS THAT HAVE A HIGH CAPACITY TRANSIT COMPONENT SO THAT YOU CAN FOCUS THE DENSITY AND INTENSITY TO THOSE CORRIDORS WHERE APPROPRIATE.
THE SUBCOMMITTEE AND TASK FORCE TACKLED THIS AND RECOMMENDED A PROCESS THAT ALLOWS US TO CREATE THE GUARDRAILS FOR APPROPRIATE TOD APPLICABILITY.
WHAT YOU SEE HERE IS HOW APPLICABILITY HAS BEEN NARROWED.
IT IS NOW APPLICABLE TO CERTAIN CORRIDORS THAT ARE IDENTIFIED AS ART CORRIDORS.
SO AS YOU CAN SEE ON THE ZOOMED IN MAP OF WHAT YOU SAW ON THE PREVIOUS SLIDE, THE APPLICABILITY OR ELIGIBILITY OF PROPERTIES IS ONLY LOCATED ALONG ART.
SO THIS PUTS THE T IN TOD, THE PROCESS, THE TASK FORCE AND SUBCOMMITTEE MEMBERS TO GET TO THIS APPROACH STARTED WITH A DRAFT CODE THAT RECOMMENDED A HALF MILE A, A QUARTER OF A MILE APPLICABILITY.
BUT THE DISCUSSION OF THE TASK FORCE INCREASED THAT VIEW SINCE WALKABILITY IS TYPICALLY A HALF MILE, WHICH REPRESENTS A 10 MINUTE WALK.
WHILE A HALF MILE APPLICABILITY FOR TOD IS APPROPRIATE IN SOME AREAS ALONG THE CORRIDOR, THERE ARE AREAS IN WHICH THAT DRIVES IT DIRECTLY INTO THE MIDDLE OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD.
SO THE APPROACH BECAME A MORE CUSTOMIZED APPROACH, EXPANDING WHERE APPROPRIATE AND CONTRACTING WHERE WE NEED IT TO BE SENSITIVE.
AND HERE IS WHAT'S RECOMMENDED IN THE CODE.
A PROCESS THAT REQUIRES STAKEHOLDERS FROM THE NEIGHBORHOODS AND BUSINESSES TO PARTICIPATE IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF BOUNDARIES ALONG ART CORRIDORS.
THROUGH THIS PROCESS, MAPS ARE REQUIRED TO ILLUSTRATE THE BOUNDARIES THAT ALLOW PROPERTY OWNERS TO REQUEST TO REZONE TO THE UPDATED TOD CODE.
AS THE BOUNDARIES ARE DEVELOPED, THEY CAN BE SENSITIVE TO BUILT OUT RESIDENTIAL NEIGHBORHOODS THAT STILL ALLOW AND STILL ALLOW OPPORTUNITIES FOR TOD DEVELOPMENT IN AREAS SUCH AS OUR REGIONAL CENTERS.
AS YOU CAN SEE ON THIS MAP, THE BOUNDARY RECOMMENDED IN THIS SECTION EXPANDS AROUND THE AREAS OF SAN PEDRO AND I IH 35, WHILE CONTRACTING AROUND ESTABLISHED NEIGHBORHOODS THAT GO NORTH.
THE PROPOSED CODE STARTS WITH THE GREEN LINE.
IN THIS CASE, THE MAPS DECREASE THE CURRENT APPLICABILITY OF A HALF MILE FROM ANY BUS STOP, WHICH BASICALLY COVERS ALL PROPERTIES ALL ALONG THIS CORRIDOR TO JUST THOSE PROPERTIES WITHIN THE PROPOSED BOUNDARY,
[02:55:01]
ALLOWING US TO PROTECT THE NEIGHBORHOODS WITH THESE MAPS.AS NEW CORRIDORS BECOME ART CORRIDORS, SUCH AS THE POTENTIAL FOR THE SILVER LINE, THE PROCESS REQUIRES THE CODE TO BE UPDATED AS WELL AS THE PROCESS TO CREATE THE BOUNDARY MAPS ALONG THAT CORRIDOR TO ESTABLISH NEW ELIGIBILITY AREAS.
ADDITIONAL PROVISIONS IN THE UPDATED CODE INCLUDE PROTECTIONS FOR NEIGHBORHOODS SUCH AS EXCLUDING PROPERTIES FROM BEING ABLE TO REZONE TO TOD THAT ARE EQUAL TO HALF AN ACRE OR LESS, THAT ARE SINGLE FAMILY ZONED PROPERTIES WITH SINGLE FAMILY USES OF FOUR UNITS OR LESS.
THIS EXCLUSION PROTECTS OUR ESTABLISHED RESIDENTIAL NEIGHBORHOODS IN OUR URBAN CORE.
ADDITIONALLY, FOR PROPERTIES THAT ARE WITH, WITHIN HISTORIC DISTRICTS OR NEIGHBORHOOD CONSERVATION DISTRICTS OR OTHER OVERLAYS THAT HAVE DESIGN STANDARDS, THE CODE REQUIRES THAT TOD ZONE PROPERTIES COMPLY WITH THE OVERLAY DISTRICT STANDARDS.
TOD TELLS THEM HOW TO USE IT ON THE INSIDE, BUT THE OVERLAY DISTRICTS TELL 'EM HOW IT'S DESIGNED ON THE OUTSIDE THE AVERAGE COST FOR INCORPORATING PARKING SPACES WITHIN A DEVELOPMENT RANGE FROM AROUND 2000 TO $10,000 A SPACE.
DO UDC INTRODUCED MINIMUM PARKING REQUIREMENTS IN 1965 WITH NO UPDATES SINCE ITS ADOPTION PARKING MINIMUMS CREATE INEFFICIENT USE OF LAND, MAKING IT DIFFICULT TO DESIGN NEIGHBORHOODS WHERE IT IS EASY FOR PEOPLE TO WALK AND USE PUBLIC TRANSIT TO GET AROUND.
THIS CAN ALSO LEAD TO A FORM OF DEVELOPMENT THAT WE CALL URBAN SPRAWL.
SO FOCUSING ON TOD AND REDUCING PARKING MINIMUMS ALSO PROMOTES GREATER SOCIAL EQUITY IN A COMMUNITY PARKING REQUIREMENTS, RAISE RENT PRICES AND INHIBIT THE DEVELOPMENT OF AFFORDABLE HOUSING.
REQUIRING NEW DEVELOPMENTS TO COMPLY WITH A 60-YEAR-OLD CODE IS LIKE REQUIRING NEW CONSTRUCTION OF BUILDINGS TO COMPLY WITH 60-YEAR-OLD BUILDING CODES.
THERE HAVE BEEN MANY UPDATES AND CITIES NEED TO MAKE SURE CODES ARE UPDATED TO REFLECT CURRENT TRENDS AND STANDARDS.
THE PROPOSED AMENDMENTS RECOMMEND A 50% REDUCTION FOR THE RESIDENTIAL ONLY DISTRICT AND NO MINIMUM PARKING REQUIREMENTS FOR THE MIXED USE IN HYBRID INDUSTRIAL DISTRICTS.
HOWEVER, THIS DOES NOT MEAN THAT THE DEVELOPMENT WON'T PROVIDE PARKING, IT JUST MEANS WE AREN'T HOLDING THEM TO ARCHAIC RULES, BUT ALLOWING THE PARKING PROVIDED TO BE DETERMINED BY THE MARKET.
LASTLY, THE PROPOSED REVISIONS INCLUDE REMOVING LANGUAGE IN ANOTHER CODE.
THE SIGN CODE RELATED TO A FRONT SETBACK REQUIREMENT THAT NOW CREATES A CODE CONFLICT.
THE SIGN CODE INCLUDES SIGN REQUIREMENTS FOR URBAN CORRIDORS WITHIN OUR CITY.
SIX CORRIDORS EXIST THAT ALSO INCLUDE SAN PEDRO, AND SOME OF THESE CORRIDORS HAVE MINIMUM FRONT BUILDING SETBACKS.
THE TECHNICAL WORKING GROUP'S RECOMMENDATION INCLUDES REMOVING THE SETBACK REQUIREMENTS IN THESE URBAN URBAN CORRIDORS SO THAT THE, THE SIGN CODE NOW JUST FOCUSES ON SIGNS.
EVENTUALLY THE CODE WILL BE UPDATED FOR ALL OF THE CORRIDORS, BUT WE ARE JUST RECOMMENDING THE REMOVAL OF THAT CONFLICT FOR THE SAN PEDRO CORRIDOR ONLY FOR NOW.
SO OUR ENGAGEMENT STILL CONTINUES OVER THE NEXT TWO MONTHS.
NOW THAT WE HAVE A DRAFT OF A MAP OF MAPS AND DRAFT OF THE CODE, WE'RE HOSTING TWO COMMUNITY MEETINGS IN OCTOBER AND NOVEMBER TO PRESENT ON THE DRAFT FRAMEWORK AND UPDATED CODE AND BOUNDARY MAPS.
OVER 10,000 RESIDENTS AND OWNERS WITHIN A HALF MILE OF THE CORRIDOR AND WITHIN THE BOUNDARIES HAVE BEEN SENT MAILERS ABOUT THE MEETINGS AND OUR ESSAY SPEAKUP SITE.
SO THEY HAVE ACCESS TO ALL THE PROPOSED DOCUMENTS AND DATES OF THE PUBLIC HEARINGS.
WE'RE ALSO POSTING IT ON SOCIAL MEDIA TO WIDEN THE NET.
THIS ALLOWS INPUT ON THE DRAFT DOCUMENT AND MAPS SO THAT ZONING COMMISSION AND CITY COUNCIL CAN CONSIDER THE FEEDBACK.
AND THAT BRINGS ME TO OUR NEXT STEPS OVER THE NEXT TWO MONTHS.
IN ADDITION TO THE COMMUNITY MEETINGS, WE WILL ALSO BE PRESENTING TO OUR APPROPRIATE BOARDS AND COMMISSIONS WITH RECOMMENDATIONS FROM ZONING COMMISSION, PLANNING COMMISSION, HOUSING COMMISSION UNTIL WE GET BACK TO CITY COUNCIL FOR CONSIDERATION AND ACTION IN DECEMBER.
AFTER COUNCIL CONSIDERATION, WE WILL BEGIN PHASE TWO WITH DEVELOPING A STRATEGIC IMPLEMENTATION PLAN.
THE FY 25 BUDGET INCLUDED FUNDS TO WORK ON THE DEVELOPMENT OF THIS PLAN.
SO STAFF RECOMMENDS APPROVAL OF THE PROPOSED AMENDMENTS PUT FORWARD BY THE TASK FORCE AFTER EIGHT MONTHS OF WORK, LISTENING TO FEEDBACK FROM ALL NEIGHBORHOODS AND RESIDENTS WHO ATTENDED AND SPOKE OR PROVIDED INPUT IN OTHER WAYS.
AND BEFORE I FINISH, I WOULD LIKE TO THANK OUR DEPARTMENTS, OUR STAKEHOLDERS, UH, FROM ALL THE GROUPS AND COMMITTEES THAT WERE INVOLVED FOR THEIR WORK THIS PAST YEAR ON THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE FRAMEWORK AND THE UPDATE TO THE, UH, TO THE CODE, AS WELL AS OUR TEAM MEMBERS FROM OUR TRANSPORTATION DEPARTMENT.
WE'RE EXCITED TO COLLABORATE WITH OUR PARTNERS AT V ON THIS IMPORTANT INITIATIVE.
AND WITH THAT, WE'RE AVAILABLE TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS.
LOOKS LIKE YOU GUYS PUT A LOT OF BLOOD,
[03:00:01]
SWEAT AND TEARS INTO THIS.SO APPRECIATE YOURS AND EVERYONE ON YOUR TEAM'S TIME AND EFFORT ON THIS.
IT WAS A HEAVY LIFT, SO THANK YOU.
UM, I DO WANT TO CLARIFY SOMETHING FOR THE COMMITTEE IS THAT, UM, WE ARE NOT CONSIDERING THE MAPS AS PART OF OUR DECISION TODAY.
THE MAPS ARE NOT PART OF THE CODE LANGUAGE, SO IT'S ONLY THE LANGUAGE IN THE CODE THAT WE'RE, THAT WE'RE REVIEWING.
UM, DOES THAT COVER WHAT THE CITY ATTORNEY WANTED TO COMMENT ONTO? YES.
THAT'S EVERYTHING THAT'LL BE HEARD AT ZONING.
ALRIGHT, WELL, WE'LL START DELIBERATION HERE WITH THE COMMITTEE.
UM, WE WILL JUST, IF YOU'VE GOT A QUESTION, UM, WE, WE CAN JUST START GOING LEFT OR RIGHT HERE.
KA THERE WERE THREE MAJOR KIND OF THEMES IN THE COMMENTS WE HEARD THAT WERE NOT SUPPORTIVE.
ONE OF THEM WAS OBVIOUSLY THE MAPS WHICH GEORGE ADDRESSED THAT WE'RE NOT ADOPTING TODAY.
UH, THE SECOND WAS THIS COMMENT ABOUT ALCOHOL.
AND SO CAN YOU CLARIFY, 'CAUSE AS I READ THIS TODAY, ALCOHOL'S ALLOWED PER BASE ZONING, WHATEVER THAT MAY OR MAY NOT BE.
BUT GOING FORWARD, ALCOHOL AND TOD WOULD REQUIRE A SPECIAL AN S PERMIT, MEANING PUBLIC ENGAGEMENT INVOLVEMENT.
IS THAT, SO WHAT WHAT BECOMES OF ALCOHOL IN THE NEW TOD IN THE PROPOSED CODE INCLUDES A PERMITTED USE TABLE AS WITH ALL OTHER SPECIAL DISTRICTS BECAUSE TOD IS A SPECIAL DISTRICT, NOT YOUR TRADITIONAL BASED DISTRICT.
UH, IT INCLUDES A PERMITTED USE TABLE FOR BOTH NON-RESIDENTIAL AND RESIDENTIAL USES IN THE PROPOSED, UH, UH, CODE AMENDMENT BASED ON THE, UH, RECOMMENDATIONS BY THE TASK FORCE.
ALL OF THE ALCOHOL USES SUCH AS BARS, UM, UH, WHAT DO THEY CALL CLUBS? UM, LIVE ENTERTAINMENT USES, UH, REQUIRE AN S WHICH IS A SPECIFIC USE AUTHORIZATION IN THE MX DISTRICTS.
UM, AND SO THAT WAS, I I BELIEVE THAT WAS THE STATEMENT THAT THEY'RE SAYING THAT THEY'RE IN SUPPORT OF BECAUSE THAT'S IN THE PROPOSED AMENDMENT.
SO THEY DON'T WANNA SEE THAT S UH, GO AWAY.
AND THEN THE THIRD KIND OF MAJOR THEME WAS THIS THRESHOLD THAT THE COMMITTEE RECOMMENDED OF HALF ACRE ABOVE AND BELOW FOR RESIDENTIAL.
WHAT WAS THE DISCUSSION WITH THE COMMITTEE? I MEAN, WE DON'T GIVE US A LITTLE BIT OF THAT BACKGROUND SURE.
AND WHY THEY DECIDED IT THERE.
SO, UM, WHEN WE STARTED THIS PROCESS, WE STARTED THIS PROCESS WHEN THE MAPS WERE LOOKING AT ABOUT A, A A HALF A MILE, UH, FROM THE CORRIDOR, WHETHER IT WAS A HALF MILE RADIUS FROM EACH STATION AREA OR A HALF MILE FROM THE CORRIDOR ITSELF, JUST ONE LINE GOING ALONG DOWN THE CORRIDOR.
AND SO THE DISCUSSION, UH, THAT BOTH THE TASK FORCE AND SUBCOMMITTEE HAD WAS WE NEED TO CREATE A LANGUAGE THAT WOULD PROTECT, UM, NEIGHBORHOODS THAT WOULD PROTECT SINGLE FAMILY HOMES.
AND SO THE ORIGINAL ITERATION, UH, WAS UM, WAS APPROVED BY THE TASK FORCE BASED ON, UM, INPUT BY MEMBERS OF THE TASK FORCE FOR THE HALF THE HALF ACRE LIMITATION.
AT THAT TIME, THEY HAD DONE, ESPECIALLY THESE NEIGHBORHOODS IN THE URBAN CORE, HAD DONE A REVIEW OF THEIR NEIGHBORHOODS AND, AND DETERMINED THAT, UM, OVER 90% OF THEIR LOTS WERE HALF ACRE OR LESS.
UM, BUT THEN IT WAS REVISITED LATER, UH, BY, UH, THE SUBCOMMITTEE ASKING THE TASK FORCE TO REVISIT IT TO SAY, NO MATTER THE SIZE, UM, WE WANNA EXCLUDE IT, EXCLUDE ALL OF THOSE RESIDENTIAL LOTS.
AND THERE WAS A BIG DISCUSSION ABOUT THAT BECAUSE THERE WERE CONCERNS FROM OTHER AREAS OF THE CITY OF THE UNINTENDED CONSEQUENCES THAT COULD OCCUR.
UM, WE HAVE OTHER AREAS OF THE CITY THAT HAVE CURRENTLY ARE SIX AND R FIVE, UH, ZONED PROPERTIES THAT ARE WELL OVER 10 ACRES, SOME EVEN 30 ACRES ALONG MAJOR ARTERIALS.
AND THE REASON WHY THEY'RE STILL THAT WAY IS BECAUSE OF, UH, ANNEXATION POLICIES THAT HAD OCCURRED MANY DECADES AGO.
UH, WHEN WE ANNEXED PROPERTIES, WE BROUGHT 'EM IN WITH TEMP ZONING, WHICH WAS THE TEMP R ONE ZONING OR TEMP A ZONING, UH, WHICH WAS THE OLD 9 19 38 CODE.
UM, AND SO WITH THE ADOPTION OF THE CODES, ALL THEY DID WAS CONVERT AND THEY CONVERTED TO THE SINGLE FAMILY DISTRICTS.
AND THE CITY HAS NEVER GONE BACK, UH, TO REZONE THOSE.
YOU'LL SEE SOME OF THOSE EVEN ALONG LOOP 1604.
UM, AND, UH, AND WHAT HAPPENS IS THAT, UH, PRIVATE PROPERTY OWNERS THEN HAVE TO COME THROUGH THE ZONING PROCESS IN ORDER TO REZONE THEM.
SO, UH, THAT'S WHY THAT WAS ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WAS DISCUSSED AS THE UNINTENDED CONS, CONSEQUENCES OF YOU SAY, NO MATTER THE SIZE, THEN WE LOSE THAT OPPORTUNITY FOR THAT PROPERTY OWNER TO REQUEST TOD SIMPLY BECAUSE THEY HAVE AN R SIX ZONE LOT THAT'S 30 ACRES THAT HAS A BARN ON IT.
SO KAT KIND OF FURTHER CLARIFYING THAT IF I OWNED, UH, THREE QUARTERS OF AN ACRE IN WHAT BECOMES PART OF A TOD OVERLAY, I DON'T REZONE UNLESS I INITIATE A REZONING OR I SELL TO SOMEONE WHO INITIATES A CHANGE OF USE IN ZONING.
THOSE MAPS DO NOT APPLY TO OD AUTOMATICALLY.
[03:05:01]
THAT WE ARE NOW RESTRICTING THE AREAS THAT ARE ELIGIBLE TODAY TO ONLY THIS AREA OF THAT'S, THAT WOULD BE ELIGIBLE TOMORROW.BASICALLY GOING FROM 300 SQUARE MILES THAT IS APPLICABLE TODAY TO JUST OVER THREE SQUARE MILES.
UM, CHAIRMAN, THANK YOU FOR CLARIFYING THAT.
WE'RE, OUR CHARGE AS A COMMITTEE IS NOT ON THE MAP, IT'S ON THE PROCESS AND THE POLICY.
KAT, CAN I ASK YOU A QUESTION? ASHLEY FERRYMAN, BEFORE SHE HAD TO LEAVE, 'CAUSE SHE HAD A CONFLICT, GAVE ME A COUPLE OF THINGS, UH, THAT SHE WAS CURIOUS ABOUT.
AND ONE OF THEM HAD TO DO WITH TABLE 3 42 DASH 0.02 DASH THREE, WHICH, UM, I UNDERSTAND THE SPECIAL USE PERMITS ON A TOD MX, BUT THE ONE THAT SEEMS THE, UH, ODD IS THE BEVERAGE RETAIL STORE, UH, SALES, LIQUOR STORE, PACKAGE STORE, WHATEVER YOU WANT TO CALL IT, THAT'S NOT CONSUMPTION THAT YOU BUY AND GO, WHY WOULD THAT BE REQUIRED TO HAVE A SPECIAL USE PERMIT IN A TOD? SO IN AUGUST, THE TASK FORCE ACTUALLY RECOMMENDED, UH, THAT USE IN THE MX DISTRICT TO BE PERMITTED BY WRIGHT.
BUT IN SEPTEMBER, UM, THERE WERE CONCERNS BY THE TASK FORCE THAT ALTHOUGH IT IS RETAIL, UH, THERE WERE CONCERNS THAT, UH, PEOPLE DON'T JUST GO IN THERE, PICK IT UP, GO BACK TO THE CAR AND LEAVE, THAT THERE IS ACTIVITIES THAT OCCUR IN PARKING LOTS.
THERE'S ALSO CONCERNS ABOUT THE FACT THAT THE PREVALENT USE OR THE PREVALENT AVAILABILITY OF ALCOHOL, UM, AND, UM, THE, THE CURRENT EXPERIENCES WITH DRINKING AND DRIVING, UM, AND OTHER THINGS RELATED TO THAT THAT COULD RESULT IN, UH, FATALITIES.
SO THERE WAS A CONCERN BY TASK FORCE MEMBERS, AND SO THEY REOPENED IT AND, AND VOTED TO ESTABLISH, UH, A SPECIFIC USE AUTHORIZATION FOR ALL OF THOSE ALCOHOL USES IN THE MX DISTRICT.
SO, SO CAPTAIN, I MEAN, THE PRIMARY USE HAS TO BE, SO CAN AN HEB WHO ALSO MIGHT SELL ADULT BEVERAGES.
AN HEB IS NOT CLASSIFIED AS A LIQUOR STORE.
SO IT ONLY IS A LIQUOR STORE, NOT WHO ALSO SELLS ALCOHOL AS A PORTION OF THEIR BUSINESS.
OR IF YOU'RE A WINE STORE BECAUSE THEY HAVE WINE BOUTIQUE IS ALSO A SPECIAL USE PERMIT WHERE THEY JUST SELL RETAIL WINE, YOU KNOW? YEAH.
SO WINE BOUTIQUE IS SIMILAR TO THOSE WHERE YOU GO FOR THE TASTINGS.
SO THEY REQUESTED THAT IT BE AN S AS WELL, JUST IN THE MX IT'S UP TO GEORGE.
WHAT ABOUT RESTAURANTS WHO SERVE ALCOHOL WITH FOOD? MANY OF WHICH, YOU KNOW, REALLY BECOME BARS SINCE WE DON'T REALLY HAVE A CLASSIFICATION THAT REQUIRES THEM TO REPORT THEIR FOOD CELLS.
SO RESTAURANTS ARE CLASSIFIED AS FOOD SERVICE ESTABLISHMENTS.
THOSE WOULD BE PERMITTED BY, RIGHT.
UH, THEY DO HAVE TO MEET A CERTAIN, UH, PERCENTAGE IF THEY GO OVER THAT PERCENTAGE.
AND THAT IS IN THE, UH, APPENDIX DAY OF THE DEFINITIONS FOR THEIR ANNUAL SALES.
UH, THEY CAN RECEIVE A CODE CITATION, SO THEY DO HAVE TO REPORT ANNUAL SALES.
THANKS FOR YOUR PRESENTATION, KAT.
UM, I HAVE SEVERAL COMMENTS THAT I'D LIKE TO MAKE REGARDING SOME OF THE PUBLIC COMMENTS THAT WE HEARD.
I THINK IT'S VERY IMPORTANT TO RECOGNIZE AND ENSURE THAT THE NEIGHBORHOODS THAT WERE NOT REPRESENTED ON THE TASK FORCE HAVE A VOICE.
IT IS SO IMPORTANT TO KNOW THAT THEY RECEIVED AN AUTOMATIC, YOU KNOW, INVITATION TO GO TO SA SPEAK UP AND LOOK AT THE MAPS IN APRIL, BUT THE MAPS DIDN'T COME OUT TILL A LITTLE BIT AFTER THAT.
THERE'S BEEN NO PUBLIC HEARING ABOUT THESE MAPS UNTIL TODAY BECAUSE THEY WERE APPROVED AT THE END OF SEPTEMBER.
JUST LIKE THE CODE THAT WE'RE LOOKING AT IN EVALUATING, I'D LIKE US TO GO LINE BY LINE, ACTUALLY.
UM, IT HAS NOT SEEN THE OPPORTUNITY FOR PUBLIC COMMENT.
SO EVEN THOUGH THERE'S BEEN PUBLIC ENGAGEMENT, I THANK YOU FOR ALL THE EVENTS THAT YOU'VE HAD.
BUT DURING THOSE EVENTS, PEOPLE WEREN'T ASKED, DO YOU WANT PARKING OR DO YOU NOT WANT PARKING? WHAT KIND OF SETBACKS DO YOU WANT IN YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD? DO YOU WANT ALCOHOL? THOSE THINGS WERE NOT ASKED.
SO WHEN WE HEAR PUBLIC COMMENT TODAY, I WANT TO EXPRESS UPON YOU HOW VALUABLE THAT IS AND THANK EVERYBODY FOR TAKING THE TIME TO COMMENT.
BECAUSE WHEN YOU TOOK THE TOD SURVEY, IT WAS ALL ABOUT, YOU KNOW, DENSITY.
IT WAS ALL ABOUT CONCEPTUAL, BUT IT WASN'T ABOUT THE NUTS AND BOLTS.
AND THE NUTS AND BOLTS ARE WHAT WE ARE LOOKING AT IN THE TABLE TODAY.
WHEN WE TALK ABOUT THE RELAXATION OF THE PARKING REQUIREMENT AND HOW THAT IMPACTS, THERE WERE SOME REALLY BIG POINTS THAT WERE MADE, UM, BY KING WILLIAM AND LAVACCA.
AND IF YOU LOOK AT SOUTH TOWN, IF EVERYBODY'S EVER BEEN DOWN THERE ON A FIRST FRIDAY, HAVE YOU TRIED TO PARK, HAVE YOU TRIED TO PARK AT ANY TIME DURING THAT TIME? THEY'RE THE ONLY AREA IN THE CITY THAT HAS A RESIDENTIAL PARKING PERMIT PROGRAM TODAY, AND THERE'S A REASON FOR THAT BECAUSE THEY DON'T HAVE ADEQUATE ON STREET PARKING.
THEY ALSO HAVE THE LARGEST CONCENTRATION OF SHORT-TERM RENTALS WHILE THEY'RE SUPPOSED TO
[03:10:01]
HAVE ONE OFF STREET PARKING REQUIREMENT.WE KNOW ALL TOO OFTEN PEOPLE COME WITH MORE THAN ONE PARKING SPOT.
SO I THINK WHEN WE TALK ABOUT PARKING, IT IS VERY UNIQUE TO THAT SOUTH TOWN AREA, UH, THAT SEES THAT, UM, THAT, THAT, UH, THAT STRESSOR, THAT FRICTION IN THEIR COMMUNITY.
THEY ALSO HAVE THE LARGEST CONCENTRATION OF IDZ ZONED PROPERTIES.
AND I WOULD HOPE, UH, KAT, IF YOU COULD LET PEOPLE KNOW THERE ARE OTHER TOOLS IN THE ZONING TOOLBOX THAT ARE TOD FRIENDLY, LIKE IDZ ZONING, WHICH NEGATES SOME OF THE PARKING REQUIREMENTS.
AND SO WHEN WE LOOK AT, I KNOW WE'RE NOT SUPPOSED TO TALK ABOUT THE MAPS, EVEN THOUGH THE MAPS ARE AGENDIZED AND REFERENCED IN THE CODE THAT WE'RE REVIEWING.
SO ARE WE STRIKING THOSE SECTIONS FROM THE CODE? I, I NEEDED A CLARIFICATION FROM THE CITY ATTORNEY ON THAT.
WE'RE JUST LOOKING AT THE, THE UDC CODE PROVISIONS THAT HAVE BEEN RECOMMENDED FOR THIS AMENDMENT.
AS OF RIGHT NOW, WE DON'T HAVE, THE MAP THAT'S ATTACHED ON THE AGENDA IS FOR CONTEXTUAL PURPOSES.
SO THE LANGUAGE IN THE UDC CODE THAT REFERENCES THE MAP, WE ARE NOT CONSIDERING THAT LANGUAGE AS AN ACTION TODAY.
IS THAT CORRECT? NO, THAT'S NOT CORRECT.
IF IT'S A PART OF THE UDC CODE, AN AMENDMENT THEREOF, THEN YES, THAT IS ON THE DISCUSSION TABLE TODAY.
BUT WE'RE NOT ALLOWED TO GRAPHIC TO TALK ABOUT THE GRAPHIC.
WE'RE ONLY GONNA TALK ABOUT IT IN WORDING.
IS THAT MY UNDERSTANDING? THE, OKAY, SO THE, AND I, I THINK KA MIGHT BE ABLE TO EXPAND ON THIS A LITTLE BIT, BUT RIGHT NOW WE'RE LOOKING AT WHAT CAN HAPPEN INSIDE OF A TOD ZONING COMMISSION WILL DECIDE WHERE THAT TO OD CAN BE, RIGHT? JUST TO HELP PRI PROVIDE CLARIFICATION, WHAT YOU'RE LOOKING AT, WHAT'S IN THE CODE IS THE PROCESS TO CREATE THE MAPS.
AND THE FIRST ONE THAT'S INCLUDED INTO IT IS THE GREEN LINE.
SO THAT'S THE ACTUAL TEXT THAT'S IN THE CODE.
UM, WHAT, WHEN YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT THE GRAPHIC, YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT THE ILLUSTRATION ON THE MAP AND WHAT THE BOUNDARIES LOOK LIKE, HOW THE BOUNDARIES MOVE AROUND OR SHIFT, UH, WOULD BE SOMETHING THAT'S CONSIDERED BY ZONING COMMISSION AND CITY COUNCIL.
IT'S VERY SIMILAR TO WHAT WE DO, UH, FOR HISTORIC DISTRICTS, NEIGHBORHOOD CONSERVATION DISTRICTS AND EVEN PLANNING AREAS.
THE, UH, PLANNING COMMISSION, TECHNICAL ADVISORY COMMITTEE STARTS WITH THE ENABLING ORDINANCE.
THIS IS LIKE THAT AN EN AN ENABLING ORDINANCE.
WHAT HAPPENS AFTER THAT WHEN YOU CREATE THE NEW DISTRICTS? THOSE DO NOT COME BACK TO PTAC.
THOSE GO STRAIGHT TO ZONING COMMISSION AND CITY COUNCIL.
I JUST WAS CONCERNED BECAUSE IT DOES, IT IS REFERENCED IN THE LANGUAGE, THE MAPS AND WHAT WE ARE WHEN PEOPLE SAW THE MAPS TOO, LIKE I SAID, YOU KNOW, HOW MANY PEOPLE HAVE BEEN ABLE TO SEE THESE MAPS, UM, IS A CONCERN AND ENSURING THAT WE ALLOW EVERYBODY THE OPPORTUNITY TO PROVIDE FEEDBACK.
I KNOW THAT SOME PEOPLE HAVE EVEN OPTED OUT AND IN THEIR OPT OUT IS NOT REFLECTED ON THOSE MAPS THAT ARE CURRENTLY POSTED.
I THINK THAT'S IMPORTANT TO RECOGNIZE FOR EVERYBODY.
BUT CHAIR, I WAS GONNA ASK IF WE COULD GO LINE ITEM BY LINE ITEM AND START HITTING THESE SECTIONS, UM, TO BE ABLE TO GO THROUGH IT.
CAN YOU CLARIFY LINE ITEM BY LINE ITEM? 'CAUSE I DON'T THINK WE'VE GOT THE, I DON'T THINK WE NEED TO READ EVERY WORD ON THIS THING AND GO DOWN THROUGH EVERY SINGLE LINE.
UH, SO WE CAN TALK ABOUT, UM, DO YOU WANT ME TO PULL CONTROL? I'LL PULL.
DO YOU WANT ME TO PULL UP MY PAGES? SO, THANKS KAT.
THAT WAS AN IMPORTANT CLARIFICATION THAT ALL WE'RE DOING IS REVIEWING THE VEHICLE THAT CREATES THE MAPS.
YOU, YOU JUST HAPPEN TO BE AHEAD OF THE GAME BY HAVING MAPS.
YES, WE'RE DOING IT CONCURRENTLY.
AND THIS IS, SO OUR PURVIEW IS SIMPLY A VEHICLE TO CREATE THE MAP.
SO MY CONCERN WOULD BE APPLICABILITY A NUMBER ONE B STAKEHOLDER PARTICIPATION.
IT SAID THE PROCESS OF DEVELOPING AND ADOPTING A MAP TO ILLUSTRATE THE BOUNDARIES ELIGIBLE FOR TOD ZONING APPLICATIONS SHOULD INVOLVE KEY STAKEHOLDERS.
I WANT TO ENSURE THAT MOVING FORWARD THEY SHALL INVOLVE STAKEHOLDERS.
UM, I DON'T THINK THIS SHOULD BE AN ADMINISTRATIVE PROCESS AT ANY TIME.
AND THERE'S A CLEAR, UH, ADOPTION THAT OCCURRED, UH, WITH LANGUAGE ON WHO THOSE INDIVIDUALS SHOULD BE.
AND SO I JUST WANTED TO ASK, UM, IF FOR THAT CONSIDERATION, DO YOU WANT WHAT LINE, BIANCA, WHAT LINE WAS THAT ON THE SHOULD VERSUS SHALL? IT'S ON THE SECOND LINE ON PAGE TWO UNDER B STAKEHOLDER PARTICIPATION.
DO YOU WANNA PULL IT UP? YEAH.
UM, AND THIS ACTUALLY WAS, UH, WHAT BIANCA'S BRINGING UP IS, WAS DISCUSSED AT THE TASK FORCE AS WELL, INCLUDING THE SUBCOMMITTEE.
SO, UH, BOTH, UH, BOTH ENTITIES DISCUSS THIS.
UM, AND THEN, UH, I'LL, I'LL LET AUDREY ALSO CHIME IN AS WELL.
SO IN THIS LIST IT SAYS, SHOULD INVOLVE ALL STAKEHOLDER HOLDERS WITHIN, UH, A HALF MILE SO THAT WE ARE INCLUSIVE OF INVITING ALL PROPERTY OWNERS, RESIDENTS IMPACTED NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATIONS, COMMUNITY ORGANIZATIONS, NONPROFITS, MAJOR EMPLOYERS.
SO THAT WE, YOU, YOU CASTING OUT THAT THAT WIDE NET, UH, ONE OF THE CONCERNS WAS IS THAT, UM, MAKING IT SHELL COULD BE A CHALLENGE IN THE PROCESS IF YOUR STAKEHOLDER GROUP DOES NOT INCLUDE A NONPROFIT BECAUSE A NONPROFIT DOESN'T EXIST IN THAT AREA.
AND UH, SO THAT'S WHY WE DID SHOULD, BUT WE INCORPORATED
[03:15:01]
SHALL BE INVITED TO ATTEND.SO THAT WAY IT REQUIRES, UM, THE INVITATION TO PARTICIPATE IN THIS PROCESS.
AUDREY, I'LL LEAVE IT TO YOU AFTER TO COMMENT.
THE CITY ATTORNEY'S OFFICE, UH, WORKED WITH THE TRANSPORTATION DEPARTMENT ON THE ORIGINAL LANGUAGE THAT WAS DISCUSSED BY THE TASK FORCE, UH, REFERENCING THE SHALL.
UH, AND THERE WERE CONCERNS RELATED TO HOW THAT WOULD ACTUALLY BE IMPLEMENTED IF IT WAS ADOPTED BECAUSE LIKE KA IS SAYING, SHALL MEANS IT'S MANDATORY AND A LOT OF THESE AREAS YOU HAVE DIFFERENT STAKEHOLDERS FOR DIFFERENT AREAS THAT SHOULD BE INCLUDED, BUT SHALL WOULD REQUIRE THEM TO MEET THE ENTIRE LIST.
AND SO THAT'S WHY WE RECOMMENDED THAT IT BE CHANGED TO SHOULD THE SHALL DOES APPLY TO THE STAKEHOLDER PROCESS.
SO THERE IS A PROCESS, IT'S, THERE WILL BE STAKEHOLDER INVOLVEMENT, BUT WHO ACTUALLY GETS INCLUDED SHOULD BE DONE ON A CASE BY CASE BASIS.
UM, SO I, SO UM, WE SIT ON A COUPLE BOARDS AND SO WE DO USE, UH, NOTIFICATION LISTS FROM THE CITY, FROM APPROVED LIST THAT THE CITY PROVIDES, BE IT, UM, UH, RECOGNIZED NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATIONS, YOU KNOW, AND THE 200 FOOT PERIMETERS.
AND SO I GUESS I WOULD ASK WHY SOMETHING ALONG THAT LINE CAN'T BE STATED, YOU KNOW, FOR, YOU KNOW, THAT ON THE SHALL PART OF IT, UM, BECAUSE, YOU KNOW, I DID HEAR STATEMENTS HERE MADE BY PEOPLE WHO WERE AROUND SOME OF THE, SOME OF THE DRAWINGS AND MAPS, YOU KNOW, TALKING ABOUT NOT BEING INCLUDED AND I GUESS, YOU KNOW, LOOKING FOR WAYS TO WHERE WE'VE ENSURE THAT THEY WOULD BE INCLUDED, ESPECIALLY IF THEY'RE RECOGNIZED NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATIONS WITH THE CITY.
SO YES, WE DO HAVE A REGISTERED NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATION LIST THAT, THAT IS LISTED.
UM, WE COULD ADD ALL, WELL WE, THE REASON WHY WE SAY ALL IMPACTED NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATIONS IS BECAUSE SOMETIMES SOME OF THOSE NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATIONS AREN'T REGISTERED WITH THE CITY.
UH, BUT WE DON'T HAVE A REGISTRATION LIST FOR ALL OF THE OTHER GROUPS THAT ARE IN HERE.
AND SO THAT'S WHY IT'S KIND OF HARD TO SAY WELL ONLY REGISTER WITH THE CITY IF WE DON'T HAVE 'EM.
SO KA THIS LIST GOES FARTHER THAN WHAT WE DO ON A STANDARD ZONING CASE.
BECAUSE STANDARD IT'S 200 FOOT PERIMETER AND REGISTERED NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATIONS.
BUT THIS LIST GOES FARTHER, WHICH IS WHY THEY TOOK THE SHALL OUT AUDREY.
JUST 'CAUSE IT WAS OF A CONCERN TOO MUCH.
THE STAKEHOLDER GROUP WANTED A LARGER LIST OF PEOPLE TO BE INCLUDED IN GROUPS AND SO THAT'S, YES.
SO, SO KAT, THAT LIST OF FOLKS WILL STILL HAVE A STAKEHOLDER ENGAGEMENT PROCESS ON THE MAPS GOING FORWARD.
IF THEY CHOOSE TO PARTICIPATE IN THAT PROCESS AFTER THEY SHALL GET THE INVITATION, THEN YES, THEY WOULD BE PART OF THAT GROUP.
HAVEN'T WE HAVEN'T PASSED THAT STEP? NO.
FOR THE MAPS SO THAT WE STILL HAVE THAT OPPORTUNITY FOR ALL OF THOSE GROUPS AND NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATIONS TO PARTICIPATE.
SO THAT'S WHAT'S GOING ON RIGHT NOW IN THIS PROCESS FOR THE GREEN LINE.
RIGHT? THAT'S WHAT'S GOING ON RIGHT NOW OVER THE NEXT TWO MONTHS.
SO, SO, SO IS THERE A SHALL FOR THE NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATIONS THAT ARE CURRENTLY RECOGNIZED BY THE CITY OF SAN ANTONIO AND THE 200 FOOT NEIGHBORS? SO THERE'S OR NO? SO IF YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT CREATING A STAKEHOLDER GROUP PROCESS, IT SAYS SHOULD, BUT ONCE YOU ESTABLISH THAT LIST, YOU SHALL INVITE THEM INTO THAT PROCESS.
AND SO YOU WORK WITH ALL OF THE RESOURCES THAT YOU HAVE THAT INCLUDE THE REGISTERED NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATIONS.
SO YOU WOULD START THERE, BUT WE, WE ARE WELL AWARE THAT THERE ARE NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATIONS THAT SOMETIMES EITHER DROP THEIR REGISTRATION, UM, AND IN THIS CASE, AT THE BEGINNING OF THE PROCESS, WE FOUND OUT THAT FIVE POINTS HAD DROPPED THEIR RES THEIR UH, THEIR REPRESENTATION OR THEIR REGISTRATION.
SO WE HAD TO WORK WITH THE COUNCIL OFFICE TO SEEK THEM OUT IN ORDER TO TELL 'EM I DON'T HAVE ANY CONTACT INFORMATION 'CAUSE YOU'RE NOT REGISTERED ANYMORE.
BUT, UM, YOU, UH, YOU'VE BEEN ASKED TO BE INCLUDED IN THIS PROCESS.
SO THAT'S WHY IT DOESN'T SAY JUST REGISTERED BEFORE THE ACTUAL ZONING REZONING ITSELF TO TOD.
THEY SHALL BE NOTIFIED AS A REGISTERED YES.
IF SOMEBODY WANTS TO REZONE THE ELIGIBILITY MAP THAT EVERYBODY SHOULD BUT SHALL FOR ACTUAL ZONING.
IF, IF THERE IS A REZONING, IT'S A SHALL THEY HAVE TO BE NOTIFIED OF THAT, ESPECIALLY IF THEY'RE WITHIN 200 FEET.
SO BUILDING ON WHAT MR. MANNA WAS SAYING, IF YOU GO TO THE LAST SENTENCE IN THAT PARAGRAPH WHERE THE MAPS WILL UNDERGO CONTINUING CITY DEPARTMENT REVIEW TO CLARIFY AND IDENTIFY ANY PROGRAMS OR POLICY INCONSISTENCIES, THEN IT SAYS THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE MAPS SHALL GO THROUGH A PUBLIC INPUT PROCESS.
COULD IT ALSO SAY, SHALL INCLUDE THE REGISTERED NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATIONS OR SHALL INCLUDE NEIGHBORHOODS WITHIN, WITHIN 200 FEET OF THE CORRIDOR WITHIN A QUARTER MILE.
I MEAN, I I THINK THAT'S THE WAY YOU CIRCUMVENT THIS AT THIS POINT, TO ENSURE THAT THOSE THAT ARE RECOGNIZED, UM, WITH THE CITY THAT THEY ARE ENGAGED, UM, THEY'RE GOING TO BE NOTIFIED WHEN IT GOES THROUGH A REZONING.
BUT WE'VE, WE'VE HEARD SO MUCH CONCERN ABOUT THE MAPS.
[03:20:01]
WAY TO ADD THAT CAVEAT AT THAT LINE? THANK YOU.YEAH, SO I THINK KA ALREADY MENTIONED THE FACT THAT IT COULD POTENTIALLY LIMIT YOU BECAUSE WE DON'T HAVE EVERYTHING REGISTERED.
THE FLIP SIDE OF THAT IS IF YOU WERE TO MANDATE INVOLVEMENT OF EVERY SINGLE NEIGHBORHOOD ORGANIZATION, IF ONE OF 'EM REFUSES TO ACTUALLY BE A PART OF THE CONVERSATION, THEN IT COULD POTENTIALLY INVALIDATE YOUR ABILITY TO CREATE THIS TOD.
SO IF IT'S A ONE PERSON REFUSING TO PARTICIPATE COULD MAKE IT TO WHERE THIS, THIS TOD WOULDN'T BE ABLE TO BE FORMED.
'CAUSE WE DO HAVE NEIGHBORHOODS THAT, YOU KNOW, WHEN WE SEND OUT FOR BOA AND ZONING AND, AND ALL THOSE OTHER THINGS WE'RE, THEY DON'T PARTICIPATE, BUT WE STILL MOVE THROUGH WITH THOSE.
AND SO JUST TRYING TO UNDERSTAND YO YEAH, THERE'S FOR NOTIFICATION REQUIREMENTS THAT WE HAVE, BUT IF WE'RE SAYING THAT THE PROCESS SHALL INVOLVE THAT NEIGHBORHOOD AND IF THEY ARE NOT WILLING TO BE A PART OF THAT PROCESS, THAT'S THE ISSUE WITHOUT ADDING THAT MANDATORY LANGUAGE, MAYBE SHALL NOTIFY.
SO WE COULD PUT SHALL NOTIFY THEN.
SO THREE LINES ABOVE IT, IT SAYS THAT THEY SHALL BE INVITED THREE LINES ABOVE THAT YOU'RE TALKING RIGHT NOW, THREE LINES ABOVE SAYS THEY SHALL INVITE THEM TO PARTICIPATE IN A SIT AND ASSIST WITH MAP DEVELOPMENT.
THAT'S, THAT'S SHALL NOTIFY BASICALLY.
I GUESS THE STAKEHOLDER QUESTION.
AND SO, SO WHO'S, WHO ARE THE APPROPRIATE STAKEHOLDERS AND, AND YOU KNOW, JUST, UH, AND YOU KNOW, I'M JUST SO USED TO MY OTHER LANGUAGE IN THE OTHER MEETINGS AND, AND THE 200 FOOT, YOU KNOW, UM, UM, PROPERTY OWNERS AND THEN THE, THE, UH, REGISTERED NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATIONS.
THAT'S, THAT WOULD BE MY PREFERENCE, JUST BECAUSE I KNOW THAT IT'S CONSISTENT WITH EVERYTHING ELSE WE DO.
UM, YOU KNOW, IN OTHER CODES, CORRECT? YES.
WE DO THAT WHEN WE'RE, UH, GOING THROUGH A REZONING PROCESS.
THIS PROCESS IS NOT REZONING, RIGHT, BUT IT IS SETTING UP THE PROCESS FOR REZONING AND, AND FOR THAT COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT FOR DURING THOSE MAPS.
TWO DIFFERENCES DIFFERENCE, RIGHT? RIGHT.
BUT ONE, ONE KIND OF DRAWS A LINE OF WHAT THE, WHAT THE GROUP IS CONSIDERING.
AND THEN THE SECOND PART THEN IS, UM, YOU KNOW, THE REZONING PART.
SO, YOU KNOW, IT'S A TWO STEP COMPONENT AND I THINK THAT'S IMPORTANT TO HAVE THAT REQUIREMENT THERE.
AT THIS POINT TOO, TO ME, THIS IS A LARGER NOTIFICATION GROUP FOR THE GLOBAL CONVERSATION OF MAPS OF ELIGIBILITY THAT WE THEN NARROW AT REZONING TO THOSE ACTUAL PROPERTIES, YOU KNOW, IMMEDIATELY IMPACTED.
BUT I LIKE THAT THIS GOES LARGER TO A HALF MILE THAN THE 200 FEET.
AND I LIKE THAT IT'S A LARGER GROUP THAN JUST REGISTERED NEIGHBORHOODS BECAUSE SOMETIMES WE KNOW THAT DOESN'T PICK UP ALL OF THOSE AREAS, COLLEEN.
UM, WE'RE RAPIDLY APPROACHING FOUR 30 AND I PERSONALLY HAVE A LOT OF CONCERNS STILL.
I DON'T THINK WE'RE GOING TO GET THERE TODAY.
I DON'T KNOW IF ANYBODY ELSE FEELS LIKE WE'RE GONNA GET THERE TODAY.
I AGREE THAT WE NEED TO GO THROUGH A LOT OF IT ITEM BY ITEM.
UM, THE PLAN DOESN'T LOOK LEAVE ROOM FOR THE CURRENT REALITY, WHICH IS MOST PEOPLE DRIVE CARS.
AND SO WHEN YOU'RE ELIMINATING PARKING IN REQUIRED PARKING IN AREAS, HOW, YOU KNOW, YOU'RE, YOU'RE LIMITING WHO CAN GO TAKE A JOB THERE? YOU KNOW, UM, I I I CAN'T AGREE WITH THE LACK OF PARKING.
UH, IT DOES NOT ADDRESS ISSUES THAT THE CITY HAS ALREADY SEEN CREATES FRICTION IN AREAS WHERE MORE INTENSE DEVELOPMENT IS IN CLOSE PROXIMITY TO EXISTING NEIGHBORHOODS SUCH AS NOISE AND TRAFFIC.
UM, IT DOES NOT ADDRESS HOW WE ENSURE THAT ANY PORTION OF THE NEW HOUSING WILL BE AFFORDABLE OR PROVIDE A VARIETY OF HOUSING OPTION FOR FAMILIES.
THERE'S INCONSISTENCIES BETWEEN THE PERMITTED USES.
FOR EXAMPLE, IT ALLOWS SOLAR FARMS AND ATHLETIC FIELDS, BOTH INDOOR AND OUTDOOR, BUT NO PARKING GARAGE.
AND YET WE'RE NOT GONNA ALLOW, YOU KNOW, WE'RE ONLY GOING TO HAVE STREET PARKING.
IT, IT DOESN'T, IT DOESN'T APPEAR TO INCLUDE ANY NEW PARKS.
UM, SO TO ME THERE'S JUST TOO MUCH.
UM, I I'M NOT SURE THAT SAWS AND CPS HAVE BEEN, I, I'M NOT SURE THAT WE KNOW THAT THE SETBACKS THAT ARE PROPOSED ARE GOING TO BE ADEQUATE FOR THE INFRASTRUCTURE THAT'S GOING TO BE NEED TO DONE, BE DONE.
AND I, I JUST DON'T SEE, I, I'VE GOT MORE AND I DON'T, I DON'T SEE US GETTING THERE TODAY.
I AGREE WITH SOME OF THE COMMENTS THAT COLLEEN STATED.
I THINK WE STILL HAVE SOME WORK TO DO TO GO THROUGH THESE.
AND I DON'T KNOW IF WE'RE GONNA GET TO THE OTHER BIKE PRESENTATION
[03:25:01]
TODAY.UM, BUT I DID HAVE QUESTIONS ABOUT LIFE SAFETY ISSUES AND HOW YOU COME IN AND INTO AND OUT OF A COMMUNITY, SPECIFICALLY ALONG AN AN A RT CORRIDOR BECAUSE WE KNOW NO ONE WILL PARK ON THAT TRANSIT CORRIDOR.
THEY WILL PARK ON THE ADJACENT STREETS AND HOW WE ENSURE WHAT IS BEING PRESENTED AFTER THIS MATES WELL WITH, UH, WHAT'S BEING PROPOSED HERE SPECIFICALLY WITH THE SOUTH TOWN AREA.
UM, WHEN I LOOKED AT THE BIKE PLAN, UH, THAT'S BEING PRESENTED LATER, UM, IT TALKED ABOUT, UM, HAVING BARRIERS AND HAVING PROTECTED LANES FOR BICYCLISTS.
AND I COMPLETELY SUPPORT THE SAFETY.
HOWEVER, IN, IN THE URBAN CORE, PEOPLE ARE VERY DEPENDENT ON THAT CURB ACCESS.
SPECIFICALLY WHEN YOU HAVE A SCHOOL LIKE, UM, UH, BONUM ELEMENTARY PEOPLE DO A LOT OF CURBSIDE DROP OFF.
HOW THAT WILL BE AFFECTED, HOW THAT WILL AFFECT.
BECAUSE WHAT IT DOES IS IF YOU'RE NOT ALLOWED TO ACCESS THE CURB, IT DISPLACES PEOPLE TO SIDE STREETS AND HOW THAT IMPACTS THE OVERALL TRAFFIC IN THOSE AREAS.
THE SAME THING WITH TWAIN THAT IS ON THE SAN PEDRO CORRIDOR.
I WOULD LIKE MORE TIME TO LOOK INTO THOSE PARTICULAR INSTANCES AND IF MAYBE WE COULD GO TO A SUBCOMMITTEE TO TALK ABOUT POTENTIALLY PARKING.
UM, AND, AND I THINK A RESIDENTIAL PARKING PERMIT PROGRAM NEEDS TO BE EVALUATED FOR THAT, EVEN THOUGH WE'RE NOT LOOKING AT THE MAP, BUT FOR THE MAP FOR THE CESAR CHAVEZ SOUTH, KNOWING THAT THAT AREA IS ALREADY STRESSED WITH, ITS ON STREET AMENITIES.
UM, AND I, UNLESS YOU WANNA GO INTO THE ACREAGE ON THE SIZE OF THE PARCEL, YOU KNOW, I, I APPRECIATE, UM, KAT'S COMMENTS ABOUT THE ANNEXATION, BUT THERE'S A TRUE ISSUE WITH PROPERTIES WHICH CATCH FIRE UNEXPECTEDLY ON THE EAST SIDE AND ON THE WEST SIDE.
AND PEOPLE ARE USING THESE OPPORTUNITIES TO AGGREGATE PROPERTIES FOR FUTURE DEVELOPMENT.
AND SO IN A PARTICULAR AREA LIKE FIVE POINTS, WHICH HAS THE TOD ON SINGLE FAMILY PROPERTIES, THERE'S THREE PROPERTIES IN A ROW, EVERY SINGLE ONE OF 'EM HAS BURNED.
YOU KNOW, AND SO THERE'S OBVIOUSLY CONCERN ABOUT WHY HAVING TAUGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF A SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL COMMUNITY WOULD NOT BE APPROPRIATE AND HOW WE NEED TO ADDRESS LANGUAGE IN DOING SO.
I JUST DIDN'T KNOW HOW MUCH LATER WE WERE GONNA GO PAST FOUR 30 TODAY.
UM, I, AND, AND I THINK THESE ARE, THESE ARE SOME ADDITIONAL, UM, AREAS THAT WARRANT ADDITIONAL COMMENTS AND CONCERNS.
AND I KNOW WE CAN'T COMMENT ON THE MAPS, BUT I THINK THAT THERE WAS A LOT OF APPLICABILITY LANGUAGE THAT WAS DEVELOPED, UM, AND UTILIZED BY THE SUBCOMMITTEE TO DEVELOP THE MAP, BUT YET THAT WAS REMOVED.
AND SO IT WAS BECAUSE THEY WERE ADOPTING THE MAP WITH THE BLUE LINES AND THE BOUNDARIES AND WHERE THEY'RE AT.
THAT'S WHY YOU HEAR A LOT OF ADVOCACY FOR THOSE, THOSE BOUNDARIES AS THEY EXIST.
UM, YOU KNOW, ARE IS CERTAIN AREAS, UH, APPROPRIATE FOR THAT.
UM, THOSE WERE THE KEY THINGS.
AND SO I WAS GONNA MAKE A MOTION THAT WE SEND THIS TO SUBCOMMITTEE TO EVALUATE PARKING, TO EVALUATE THE ACREAGE CONCERN, TO EVALUATE THE USE TABLE THAT COLLEEN BROUGHT UP WITH THE CONFLICTS WITH USES.
AND THEN I'M OPEN TO ANYTHING ELSE, EMERGENCY SERVICES, A ACCESS, UM, AND THE RESIDENTIAL PARKING PERMIT PROGRAM.
UH, YA YOU HAVE SOME QUESTIONS? UH, SO I WANTED TO COMMENT ON TWO THINGS.
SO FIRST WITH THE PARKING, I JUST WANNA MAKE SURE WE'RE ALL ON THE SAME PAGE WITH WHAT THAT MEANS.
SO REMOVING THE PARKING REQUIREMENTS DOESN'T MEAN THERE'S ONLY STREET PARKING.
IT JUST MEANS THE CITY ISN'T GOING TO USE THEIR 1965 CODE, UM, IN WHAT, 2024? IT MEANS THAT PEOPLE CAN NOW USE MORE UP-TO-DATE KNOWLEDGE ON LIKE HOW MUCH PARKING IS NEEDED AND APPLY THAT.
LIKE RESTAURANTS WILL STILL WANNA MAKE MONEY.
THEY'RE GONNA PUT HOW MUCH PARKING THEY THINK THEY NEED TO MAKE MONEY AND RUN THEIR BUSINESS.
SAME WITH PEOPLE MAKING HOUSING.
IT JUST DOESN'T MAKE SENSE TO APPLY IN 1965 CODE FOR SOMETHING LIKE THIS.
UM, AND THEN SECOND, I ATTENDED A LOT OF THE TASK FORCE MEETINGS AND THEY WERE ALL OPEN TO THE PUBLIC.
AND I KNOW THE TASK FORCE STAYED FOR SOMETIMES AN HOUR OVER WHAT, YOU KNOW, THEY WERE SCHEDULED FOR TO LISTEN TO THE PUBLIC COMMENTS.
SO, UM, THERE WAS DEFINITELY ENOUGH TIME FOR PEOPLE TO BE AWARE OF THE MEETINGS AND ATTEND THE MEETINGS AND GIVE THEIR FEEDBACK.
I KNOW SOME OF THE MEETINGS HAD OVER 20, 25 PEOPLE, UM, COMMENTING.
SO I JUST WANTED TO PUT THAT OUT THERE.
UM, THE DWELLING UNITS PER PLATTED LOT, I, I'M TRYING TO UNDERSTAND WHAT DENSITY IS ALLOWED HERE.
SO IT'S GONNA BE IN THE TABLE.
SO THAT SAME TABLE SAYS, UM, ONLY ONE OF THOSE DISTRICTS IS GONNA HAVE A LIMITATION ON, UH, THE DENSITY, UH, PER PLATTED LOT.
AND THAT'S FOR THE, UH, TRANSITION DISTRICT ITSELF.
THE OTHER TWO DISTRICTS, UH, DON'T HAVE THAT LIMITATION.
SO IT'S FIVE UNITS MAX ON A, ON A TRANSITION DISTRICT.
SO THE DASH IS UNLIMITED, IS THAT CORRECT? CORRECT.
[03:30:01]
OKAY, GREAT.ONE OTHER THING I JUST, I WANTED TO SECOND WHAT YOU SAID, UM, ABOUT THE PARKING.
UM, YOU KNOW, THERE'S ALL KINDS OF OTHER CHECKS AND BALANCES WHEN IT COMES TO PARKING.
UM, SO I WORK FOR THE DEVELOPER OF PEARL PER OUR ZONING.
WE HAVE, WE ARE REQUIRED TO PROVIDE ZERO PARKING SPACES.
WE HAVE BUILT OVER 2000 BECAUSE IF WE HAD ZERO PARKING, NOBODY WOULD SHOW UP.
SO IT, IT'S NOT LIKE, HEY, ALL OF A SUDDEN ALL THESE DEVELOPMENTS ARE GONNA ADD ZERO PARKING SPACES.
UM, YOU KNOW, THEY, THEY HAVE TO GET A LENDER WHO'S GONNA AGREE TO GIVE 'EM MONEY, WHO IS GONNA TAKE IT OVER IF THEY DEFAULT ON IT, THEY'RE GONNA WANNA MAKE SURE THAT THEY CAN FILL IT WITH SOMEBODY WHO'S GONNA PAY RENT TO LIVE THERE, TO WORK THERE.
UM, SO IT, IT'S, IT'S NOT LIKE THIS IS ALL OF A SUDDEN GONNA BE A HUGE STREET PARKING PROBLEM.
YOU WILL STILL SEE, UM, A LOT OF PARKING BEING BUILT BECAUSE THE PEOPLE ARE GONNA HAVE TO LEASE OUT WHATEVER THEY'RE BUILDING.
SHERIFF, I MAY, I AM ALSO HERE TO ANSWER THOSE QUESTIONS FOR THOSE THAT HAVE QUESTIONS, SO I CAN ANSWER THOSE DIRECT QUESTIONS RIGHT NOW, ESPECIALLY WITH WHAT COLLEEN HAD.
UH, I'M, I AM I'M CURIOUS OF THE TIMELINE.
KAT, UH, OBVIOUSLY, UH, BIANCA AND COLLEEN HAD MADE A GOOD POINT ABOUT THERE'S A LOT OF ISSUES TO BE ADDRESSED, BUT I KNOW THAT THIS IS A BYPRODUCT OF A CCR, I BELIEVE THAT'S CORRECT, SIR.
AND SO WHAT IS THE COUNCIL, UH, DICTATING? SO TO GIVE US AN IDEA OF HOW WE CAN ADDRESS THESE THINGS AS A ORGANIZATION OR, OR A COMMITTEE TO DO THAT ONE.
THE SECOND ONE IS I SAW THE PRESENTATION ON THE BICYCLE MASTER PLAN LAST WEEK, UM, AT THE MPO AND UH, THEY'RE ALSO ON A TIGHT TIMELINE, SO WE STILL NEED TO GET THEM PRESENTED HERE.
I KNOW IT'S INFORMATION ITEM, SO I'M JUST CONCERNED ABOUT HOW MUCH TIME WE HAVE TO GET THESE, UH, ITEMS AGENDA IZED AND THEN DISCUSSED.
SO, UM, AGAIN, WE STARTED THIS PROCESS BACK IN FEBRUARY WITH THE TASK FORCE, AS WAS MENTIONED EARLIER, UM, THEY, UH, REALLY DUG INTO THE CODE OVER SIX MONTHS.
UM, AS YOU ARE FAMILIAR WITH, WITH OTHER UDC AMENDMENTS, UM, IT'S TYPICALLY NOT THAT LONG TO GO OVER UDC LANGUAGE.
SIX MONTHS IS QUITE A LONG TIME, UM, TO DO THAT, THAT DEEP DIVE, THAT DIG IN.
UM, AND IN THE LAST TWO MEETINGS, UH, BECAUSE WE HAD, UM, UH, LOTS OF LISTENING SESSIONS TO, TO UNDERSTAND WHAT THE CONCERNS ARE RELATED TO INCOMPATIBLE DEVELOPMENT, UH, WE WERE ABLE TO, UH, BRING FORWARD THE, UH, PROPOSED AMENDMENTS THAT YOU SEE HERE TODAY.
UM, SO YES, O OVER SIX MONTHS GOING OVER THAT LANGUAGE OVER THE NEXT TWO MONTHS.
THE GOAL IS FOR THIS ONE TO GET TO, UH, COUNCIL BY THE END OF THE YEAR, UH, DECEMBER.
SO, UH, WE STILL HAVE TWO MONTHS OF ENGAGEMENT, ESPECIALLY ON THE MAPS.
UM, RIGHT NOW WE'RE JUST LOOKING AT, AT THE CODE LANGUAGE.
'CAUSE AGAIN, WE, WE HAVE A TOD CODE IN PLACE TODAY.
AND, AND THE CONCERN IS THAT WITHOUT THOSE GUARDRAILS OR LIMITATIONS, YOU'RE GONNA START SEEING AN INFLUX OF APPLICATIONS BECAUSE PEOPLE ARE GONNA SEE THAT, OH, UH, THERE'S A CURRENT TOD IN PLACE TODAY.
ALRIGHT, THEN I'M GONNA APPLY FOR IT BECAUSE I HAVE PROPERTY ALONG, UH, THESE ART LINES.
AND SO WE WANNA START TO PUT THOSE GUARDRAILS IN PLACE AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE.
UH, SO, UM, THAT, THAT'S WHY, AND AGAIN, THIS IS A PROCESS FOR THIS FIRST PHASE IS, IS, IS GONNA BE 11 MONTHS, UM, FOR, FOR THIS PHASE TO OCCUR.
AND THEN, UM, AFTER THAT IS THE IMPLEMENTATION PLAN.
BUT AGAIN, NONE OF THESE PHASES INCLUDES REZONING OF ANY PROPERTIES.
IT'S JUST LIMITING IT FROM OVER 300 SQUARE MILES TO A LITTLE OVER THREE SQUARE MILES.
UM, AND I KNOW COLLEEN HAD MENTIONED THAT NO PARKS WOULD BE PERMITTED.
ACTUALLY IT'S IN IT, IT'S IN THE, UH, PROPOSED DOCUMENT THAT PARKS WOULD BE PERMITTED BY WRIGHT.
SO WHAT IT MEANS IS THAT PARKS IS A USE IS PERMITTED BY WRIGHT, BUT WHAT THE CONCERN THAT THE TASK FORCE HAD WAS THAT CITY CURRENTLY CITY OWNED PARKS OR, OR, OR PARKS THAT HAVE BEEN ESTABLISHED WOULD NOT BE ELIGIBLE TO REZONE TO TOD.
BUT PARKS ARE STILL PERMITTED BY WRIGHT.
MR. SIPES, I HAD A QUESTION AND THEN A COMMENT.
UM, AND, AND THE, THE QUESTION IS ON THE TODD DISTRICTS ESTABLISHED THE TYPES THAT WE HAVE, WE'VE GOT YOUR TODD MIXED, YOUR TODD HYBRID AND YOU'RE TODD TRANSITIONAL.
AND THE WAY I READ IT, IF YOU'RE ADJACENT TO A SINGLE FAMILY HOME, THEN THE ONLY ONE THAT WOULD APPLY WOULD BE THE TODD TRANSITIONAL.
IS THAT CORRECT? IT THAT WOULD BE, IT SERVES AS A TRANSITION.
TYPICALLY, THINK ABOUT YOUR CURRENT TRADITIONAL, UH, DISTRICTS, RIGHT? YOU START OFF WITH SINGLE FAMILY, UH, DISTRICTS AND YOU HAVE DIFFERENT VARIATIONS FROM A LARGE LOT TO A SMALLER LOT.
[03:35:01]
AND THEN YOU, UH, START WITH THE MULTI-FAMILY DISTRICTS.AND THEN AS YOU, UH, AS YOU PROGRESS YOU IN, YOU INCREASE IN YOUR INTENSITY, MULTI-FAMILY LIKE COMMERCIAL, UH, MEDIUM COMMERCIAL, HEAVIER COMMERCIAL, INDUSTRIAL, UM, TRANSITION DISTRICTS AND EMX DISTRICTS CAN WORK SIMILARLY TOGETHER.
SO YOU CAN EITHER HAVE, UH, LET'S SAY YOU ARE, YOU HAVE A SINGLE FAMILY HOME, THREE LOTS IN DEEP, UH, ON FROM THE CORRIDOR.
UH, YOUR SECOND LOT COULD BE A TRANSITION DISTRICT ALLOWING FOR HIGHER DENSITY AND THEN YOUR, UH, YOUR, THE FIRST LOT IN, WHICH IS THE ONE AT THE CORRIDOR.
IT COULD BE YOUR MIXED USE DISTRICT, BUT YOU COULD STILL DO AN MX ADJACENT OR A BUDDING A SINGLE FAMILY BECAUSE YOU HAVE DIFFERENT, UH, INTENSITIES OF HEIGHT.
SO AGAIN, YOU STILL HAVE TO COMPLY WITH THE HEIGHT STANDARDS THAT SAY IF YOU'RE WITHIN 50 FEET OF A SINGLE FAMILY, UH, ZONED PROPERTY, YOU HAVE TO MEET THE SAME HEIGHT FOR THE FIRST 50 FEET THAT THEY HAVE.
THEN YOU CAN INCREASE THAT HEIGHT.
SO IF THEY REQUESTED THE MX THREE, THE MAX STORIES THEY COULD GO WOULD BE THREE STORIES, AS LONG AS THEY COMPLIED WITH THE FIRST 50 FEET OF THAT SINGLE FAMILY USE.
SO YOU COULD HAVE EITHER ONE, BUT YOU STILL HAVE TO GO THROUGH THE REZONING PROCESS TO DETERMINE WHICH ONE.
AND I GUESS, I GUESS BECAUSE MY CONCERN IS THAT ON THE, UH, DESIGN REGULATIONS, IF YOU DID A, IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR A TODD MIXED OR A TODD HYBRID, YOU COULD, THAT ELIMINATES ANY OF THE SETBACKS ADJACENT TO A SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENCE.
THE, THE TABLE ACTUALLY SAYS IF YOU'RE, IF YOU GO TO THE TABLE WHERE IT TALKS ABOUT SETBACKS MM-HMM
AND FOR THE REAR, YOU STILL HAVE A 10 FOOT REAR SETBACK THAT IS REQUIRED TO BUDDING A SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL USER ZONE.
SO IT WOULD WORK VERY MUCH LIKE OUR CURRENT DISTRICTS TODAY.
SO IF YOU'RE A BUDDING IT, YOU HAVE TO, THAT'S NOT WHAT I SEE THOUGH ON, AM I JUST READING THIS WRONG? THAT ON I SEE ZERO FEET.
IF IF YOU GO TO THE NEXT, UH, THAT MIGHT BE FOR THE, THE SIDE.
YEAH, RIGHT THERE, THE SIDE AND, AND ON THE REAR.
SO SIMILAR TO HOW OUR, OUR TABLE THREE 10 WORKS TODAY, THERE, THOSE ARE THE NOTES.
SO YOU HAVE TO COMPLY IF YOU'RE WITHIN A, IF YOU'RE NEXT TO A SINGLE FAMILY USE.
AND THEN THE ONLY COMMENT I HAD WAS REGARDING THE PARKING.
UM, AND I UNDERSTAND AT, AT THE PEARL, UM, HOWEVER, ON ZONING WE HAVE SEEN MANY TIMES WHERE WE'VE HAD REZONING ON, UH, THE ST.
MARY'S STRIP WHERE THE CONCERN WAS THAT NO PARKING WAS GOING TO BE PROVIDED.
SO I MEAN, YES, I, I KNOW THAT MOST I AGREE MOST, UM, ESTABL ESTABLISHMENTS WOULD PROVIDE PARKING, BUT I THINK THAT THERE IS THE OPPORTUNITY WHERE SOME WOULD CHOOSE NOT TO.
IF I COULD ALSO PROVIDE SOME CLARIFICATION, THE, THE REASON WHY THIS IS UNIQUE AND BEING PROPOSED FOR TOD IS BECAUSE REMEMBER THERE THE, THE T STANDS FOR TRANSIT.
SO WHAT DOESN'T EXIST TODAY IS WHAT WE ARE BUILDING FOR TOMORROW, WHICH IS A TRANSIT LINE THAT HAS HIGHER FREQUENCY TO GET PEOPLE FURTHER AND FARTHER THAN, THAN BEFORE.
RIGHT NOW, THE FREQUENCY FOR VIA UM, LINES IS 30 MINUTES.
SO PEOPLE AREN'T USING THEM BECAUSE IT TAKES TOO LONG TO GET TO THE NEXT BUS.
WHAT THEY'RE PROPOSING IS A 10 MINUTE FREQUENCY, ESPECIALLY DURING THE WEEKDAY AND, UM, 15, UM, MINUTE FREQUENCY ON THE WEEKENDS.
SO IF SOMEONE HAS THAT FREQUENCY, THEN THEY HAVE AN OPTION IN WHICH THEY CAN UTILIZE THAT TRANSIT THAT THEY DON'T REALLY THINK IS A GOOD OPTION FOR THEM TODAY.
SO IF THEY'RE USING THAT OPTION FOR TRANSIT, THEN THE NEED FOR A SINGLE UH, OCCUPANCY VEHICLE IS ISN'T NECESSARY FOR THAT PERSON WHO'S, WHO'S CHOOSING IT BY OPTION.
UM, I WOULD LIKE TO, UM, SECOND WHAT BIANCA HAD MENTIONED PREVIOUSLY ON THE SUBCOMMITTEE TO IRON OUT.
THERE'S, THERE'S LOTS OF ISSUES THAT DO NEED TO BE IRONED OUT AND I'M IN AGREEMENT, YOU KNOW, THAT WE NEED TO TAKE, UH, A LITTLE MORE TIME AND, AND GOING THROUGH THE WEEDS AND MAKE SURE THAT, YOU KNOW, WE TRY TO GET THIS RIGHT AS BEST AS POSSIBLE.
THOSE ANSWERED THOSE QUESTIONS TODAY, CHAIR.
UM, SO I KNOW THE TOD ZONING WOULDN'T BE APPLIED UNLESS YOU GO THROUGH REZONING.
UM, I, I WOULD SAY MOST DEVELOPMENT THEY WOULD PREFER NOT TO REZONE.
UM, IS THERE A SENSE OF HOW COMMON WE MIGHT EXPECT DEVELOPMENT ALONG THIS QUARTER TO ACTUALLY GO THROUGH THE TOD PROCESS OR T THE REZONING PROCESS FOR DOD HAS THAT BEEN LOOKED AT JUST BASED OFF OF OTHER CITIES OR PREVIOUS REZONING TO TOD THAT IT CURRENTLY IS IN EFFECT, RIGHT? YOU'RE, YOU'RE RIGHT.
OTHER CITIES HAVE GONE THROUGH A PROCESS OF APPLYING THAT ZONING THROUGH A REZONING PROCESS AS PART OF A UPDATE TO A CODE.
THIS PROCESS DOES NOT INCLUDE THAT.
I DON'T, I DON'T HAVE A CCR THAT SAYS ONCE
[03:40:01]
YOU'VE UPDATED THE CODE, THEN YOU REZONE PROPERTIES.SO UNTIL THAT HAPPENS, THIS PROCESS DOES NOT INCLUDE A REZONING.
BUT OTHER CITIES HAVE DONE THAT.
SO MAYBE IT'S NOT EXPECTED THAT TOD WOULD BE APPLIED THROUGHOUT THIS CORRIDOR, EVEN WHEN THE GREEN LINE GOES IN, IT STILL WOULD BE KIND OF A ONE-OFF REZONING.
BIANCA? YEAH, I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT TO NOTE THAT IT'S NOT ABOUT THE ELIMINATION OF PARKING ALTOGETHER.
AND I THINK THAT'S THE DISCUSSION POINT BECAUSE WE'RE, THERE'S ONE DISTRICT THAT HAS 50% AND THE OTHER TWO HAVE ZERO.
AND SO TO YOUR WHOLE POINT, DEVELOPERS WANT PEOPLE TO COME TO THEIR BUSINESS.
THEY NEED TO BE ABLE TO HAVE, UH, DELIVERIES COME.
WE KNOW HOW OFTEN UBER EATS AND AMAZON ARE DELIVERING TO PROPERTIES, UM, JUST OUT ON A NORMAL BASIS.
ALL OF THAT TOGETHER WASN'T DISCUSSED AT THE TASK FORCE.
AND THAT'S WHY I WANTED TO SPEND A LITTLE BIT MORE TIME AND LOOK AT IT AND ALSO MIRROR THE BIKE MASTER PLAN AND WHAT'S GOING ON SPECIFICALLY ALONG THAT CORRIDOR.
AND LOOK AT THE WIDTH OF THE STREET.
THERE WERE, WE HAVE SOME OF THE NARROWEST STREETS IN THE URBAN CORE.
AND RIGHT NOW, I MEAN EVERY NEIGHBORHOOD, JUST LIKE MINE HAS A COMMUNITY PLAN, BUT UNFORTUNATELY THEY DON'T ALL GET IMPLEMENTED.
AND IN THOSE COMMUNITY PLANS THAT ASK THE CITY TO LOOK AT ACCESSIBILITY FOR EMERGENCY VEHICLES COMING IN, UH, INTO AND OUT OF YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD, AND ARE THESE STREETS AVAILABLE FOR ON STREET PARKING ON BOTH SIDES? I THINK, YOU KNOW, UNLESS THE CITY COMES IN AND HOLISTICALLY PUTS PARKING RESTRICTIONS OR DOES A RESIDENT PARKING PROGRAM IN THESE AREAS THAT ARE EXTREMELY SENSITIVE, THEN YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE SOMETHING THAT'S GONNA TRAGICALLY HAPPEN.
AND TO BE HONEST, WHAT'S THE RUSH? WE HAVE THE ABILITY TO TAKE THE TIME TO LOOK AT THIS AND I THINK THERE'S BEEN COMMENTS THAT HAVE BEEN MADE BY THE PUBLIC THAT RAISE THAT AS A CONCERN.
SPECIFICALLY WHEN YOU LOOK AT SOUTH TOWN, LIKE I SAID, THEY'RE THE ONLY AREA THAT HAS THOSE RESIDENT PERMIT PARKING PROGRAMS. AND I WOULD THINK MS. HERNANDEZ WOULD BE SUPPORTIVE OF OUR DOING OUR DUE DILIGENCE.
AND THAT'S THE ONLY REASON I LOOK AT THE QAP FOR AFFORDABLE HOUSING, THEY'RE STILL REQUIRING 1.5 PARKING SPACES PER UNIT THAT'S NOT CHANGING OR BEING PROPOSED FOR 2025.
THAT'S WHAT WHAT'S IN EXISTENCE RIGHT NOW FOR 2024.
BUT JUST AS THEY STARTED OFF IN THE TASK FORCE, NOBODY TALKED ABOUT AFFORDABLE HOUSING.
THEY MENTIONED IT, BUT THEN THEY TALKED ABOUT ATTAINABLE HOUSING.
SO WE'RE NOT REALLY TALKING ABOUT 60% A MI, UNFORTUNATELY, I LOVE IF WE WOULD HAVE SOME LAND USE RESTRICTIONS THAT COULD TRULY BUILD AFFORDABLE HOUSING, BUT THIS IS MARKET RATE HOUSING.
AND I THINK WE NEED TO ENSURE THAT WE DO JUSTICE BECAUSE WE CAN LEARN FROM HISTORY AND NOT LET HISTORY REPEAT ITSELF.
THERE'S SOME GREAT EXAMPLES WHEN YOU GO DOWN ON AVIOS LOSS AND YOU LOOK AT ALL THE STRESSORS THAT OCCUR WITH BEING ABLE TO ACCESS BUSINESSES AND PEOPLE TO GET DELIVERIES AND RESIDENTS TO BE ABLE TO PARK AND FOR THEIR GUESTS TO COME.
I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT FOR US TO DO OUR DUE DILIGENCE IN THOSE AREAS.
AND THAT'S THE REASON I RECOMMEND IT GO TO A, TO A SUBCOMMITTEE.
I'M NOT LOOKING AT, AT ELIMINATING OR MAKING THE PARKING REQUIREMENT BACK TO THE 1960 STANDARDS.
I UNDERSTAND THE TRANSITION, BUT TO GO FROM, YOU KNOW, WHERE IT IS TODAY TO NOTHING, I THINK YOU MADE YOUR POINT THAT YOU PROBABLY, WE HAVE PEOPLE THAT ARE NOT GONNA DO THE PARKING, BUT THERE ARE PEOPLE WHO ARE WILLING TO DO THAT.
AND I'M SO THANKFUL THE PEARL HAS DONE IT BECAUSE THAT'S MADE ITS DEVELOPMENT SUCCESSFUL.
BUT DRIVE UP AND DOWN BROADWAY AND LOOK AT THE STRESSORS IN THOSE NEIGHBORHOODS WITH ON STREETE PARKING AND WITH WISA STREETS.
I WISH THERE WAS SOME ADDITIONAL INFORMATION THAT SPECIFICALLY ADDRESSED THE WIDTH OF OUR EXISTING INFRASTRUCTURE.
AND MAYBE WE ONLY DO IT INSIDE THE CRACK, MAYBE WE LOOK AT CERTAIN AREAS, BUT NOBODY TALKED ABOUT WISA STREETS.
NOBODY TALKED ABOUT EMERGENCY VEHICLE ACCESS AT THE TASK FORCE.
IT WAS A PUBLIC COMMENT THAT WAS MADE, I'M SORRY, ALL TOO OFTEN I'VE SEEN, UM, A FIRE TRUCK AND AN EMS VEHICLE BACK UP 'CAUSE THEY CAN'T GET DOWN THE STREET AND I DON'T EVEN LIVE IN SOUTH TOWN.
AND SO I THINK THAT'S, THAT'S THE KEY POINT FOR ME IS THAT THEY, THEY ALREADY HAVE A, A A CHALLENGE THAT EXISTS AND WE SHOULDN'T MAKE IT WORSE.
SO HOW CAN WE HELP THEM PROTECT THEIR QUALITY OF LIFE THAT THEY HAVE TODAY? UNLESS YOU WANT TO GET INTO IT.
NOW WE'RE WILLING TO CALL DOWN AND START TALKING ABOUT THE WISS OF THE STREETS, BUT I WANTED TO, UH, COME IN WITH SOME PROPOSALS TO TAKE A LOOK AT THAT, UH, FROM A GENERALITIES PERSPECTIVE AND ALSO BUILD UPON THE RESIDENTIAL PARKING PERMIT PROGRAM THAT EXISTS.
THE CITY PARKING OFFICIAL, UH, CAN INITIATE THAT AT THE SAME TIME WHEN A TOD IS IS EVALUATED, BECAUSE YES, TO YOUR WHOLE POINT, ONCE THIS IS CREATED, IT COULD GO PARCEL BY PARCEL, BUT COULD ALSO GO AS A LARGE AREA REZONING.
AND THAT WE DON'T KNOW IF THAT WILL HAPPEN.
THAT'S AN UNKNOWN AND IT'S A TOOL THAT'S AVAILABLE TO THE CITY FOR IMPLEMENTATION, BUT THEY'RE NOT SAYING, NO, THAT'S NOT GONNA HAPPEN EITHER.
YOU KNOW, THAT'S, IT'S, IT'S JUST AVAILABLE.
AND SO I THINK HOLISTICALLY, IF WE HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO ADDRESS PEOPLE'S CONCERNS, I THINK THAT'S WHAT I'M HERE TO DO BECAUSE I REPRESENT THE COMMUNITY AND I THINK ALL OF US WANNA DO
[03:45:01]
THAT.CHAIR PECK AS A QUICK CLARIFICATION FOR WHAT, UM, THE PT A C CAN DO HERE AS A FUNCTION OF THE, THE PLANNING COMMISSION, THEIR TECHNICAL ADVISORY COMMITTEE.
UM, ALL ACTIONS NEED TO BE IN THE FORM OF A RECOMMENDATION TO THE PLANNING COMMISSION.
