[00:00:06]
UM, FIRST OF ALL, CAN SOMEONE TURN MY COMPUTER BACK ON IT? DECIDED TO GO TO SLEEP
SECONDLY, UM, IT IS TWO 16 AND I WILL CALL THE WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 13TH.
PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING TO ORDER.
WOULD STAFF PLEASE DO A ROLL CALL? UM, GIMME JUST A MINUTE.
WE WON'T NEED THAT FOR A WHILE.
IF THAT'S IN YOUR WAY, I CAN MOVE IT.
CAN WE HAVE THE SPANISH, SPANISH ENGLISH INTERPRETER, PLEASE? WHEN IS ALL RIGHT, THANK YOU.
ALL RIGHT, A COUPLE OF HOUSEKEEPING ITEMS. UM, FIRST OF ALL, WE HAVE, UH, A LOT OF PEOPLE SIGNED UP TO SPEAK TODAY, AND THERE'S A LOT OF VOICEMAILS TO LISTEN TO FOR ONE OF THE ITEMS. SO TO BE CONSIDERATE OF EVERYBODY'S TIME AND MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE ABLE TO ACTUALLY MAINTAIN A QUORUM AND, UM, TO MAKE SURE EVERYBODY'S HEARD, WE ARE GOING TO LIMIT SPEAKING TIME TODAY TO ONE MINUTE FOR PUBLIC INPUT PER PERSON.
UM, AND ALSO IF YOU HAVE SUBMITTED A VOICEMAIL AND ARE HERE TO SPEAK IN PERSON, YOU CAN DO ONE OR THE OTHER.
IF YOU, UH, HAVE A VOICEMAIL IN THE SYSTEM AND IT'S HEARD, YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO SPEAK.
SO IF YOU'VE DONE BOTH, IF YOU'RE SIGNED UP AND HAVE A VOICEMAIL, IF YOU COULD PLEASE VISIT WITH STAFF NICOLE SALINAS AND LET HER KNOW WHICH ONE YOU WANT TO DO.
[Plats ]
ALL RIGHT.THAT'S IT FOR HOUSEKEEPING, SO WE'LL MOVE ON.
WE HAVE THE CONSENT AGENDA AND THE INDIVIDUAL HEARING AGENDA.
ITEMS ON THE CONSENT AGENDA ARE CASES WHERE, UH, STAFF RECOMMENDS APPROVAL.
THE PLANNING COMMISSION DOES NOT REQUIRE FURTHER DETAILED DISCUSSION, AND NOBODY IN THE AUDIENCE HAS SIGNED UP TO SPEAK.
ALL THOSE CASES WILL BE RIGHT INTO THE RECORD IN ONE MOTION, AND, UM, EVERYTHING ELSE WILL BE ON THE INDIVIDUAL HEARING AGENDA.
SO RIGHT NOW, EVERYTHING EXCEPT FOR ITEMS 35, 36, 37, 38, 40, 43, 44, AND 45 ARE ON CONSENT? THAT IS CORRECT.
I KNOW THERE'S A COUPLE PEOPLE SIGNED UP ON ITEMS THAT ARE STILL ON THE CONSENT AGENDA.
THESE ITEMS ARE SUBDIVISION PLATS ON SUBDIVISION PLATS.
THIS COMMISSION HAS NO, BY LAW, HAS TO APPROVE THE PLAT IF IT MEETS THE CODE, AND THERE'S NO VARIANCES, WHICH THESE PLATS.
I'M GONNA ASK STAFF JUST TO VERIFY THAT ITEMS 27, ITEM 27 AND 22 DO NOT HAVE ANY VARIANCES.
SO BEFORE WE HEAR THE CONSENT AGENDA, I WILL CALL UP PHILLIP MANNA ON ITEM NUMBER 27.
NAME AND ADDRESS FOR THE RECORD.
MY NAME IS PHILLIP MANNA, UH, LIVE AT 9 5 2 5.
ROCHELLE, I'M THE PRESIDENT OF ALAMO FARMSTEADS BABCOCK ROAD NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATION.
UH, WE'VE BEEN TOLD THAT OUR COMMUNITY IS BLESSED BECAUSE, UH, WE HAVE, UH, LOTS OF, UH, STRONG SUPPORT, UH, WITHIN OUR COMMUNITY FOR SENIORS AS WELL AS CHURCHES.
UM, WE HAVE COMMERCIAL NON-PROFIT FOR-PROFIT AND LOW INCOME FACILITIES, AND A NUMBER OF, UH, FOR-PROFIT RESIDENTIAL ASSISTED LIVING FACILITIES WITHIN OUR COMMUNITY.
HAVING LIVED IN AL FARMSTEAD FOR 25 YEARS, I'M ONE OF THE NEWER RESIDENTS AS WE HAVE, UH, MULTI-GENERATIONAL FAMILIES LIVING THERE.
WE HAVE A NEW DYNAMIC WITH POTENTIAL SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENTS WANTING TO LIVE IN OUR COMMUNITY AND VYING AGAINST BUSINESSES FOR A PROPERTY WHERE BUSINESSES ARE FAR BETTER FUNDED WITH AN EYE ON THE LONG TERM RETURN ON THE INVESTMENT.
THIS IS ONE OF THOSE PROPERTIES.
THIS IS BASICALLY, UM, AN INDIVIDUAL BUYING A PROPERTY, DIVIDING THE THREE, AND IS GONNA BE ADDING A BUDDING SINGLE FAMILY, RESIDENTIAL, SINGLE FAMILY, UM, RESIDENCES HERE.
THEY'VE ALREADY DONE IT ONCE IN OUR NEIGHBORHOOD, AND SO, SO IT'S AN EYE OUT FOR US TO FIGURE OUT HOW WE WANT TO MANAGE, UM, YOU KNOW, A BUDDING, UH, ASSISTED SINGLE, SINGLE LIVING FAMILIES TOGETHER.
[00:05:01]
IN GENERAL, IT'S, IT'S FINE, BUT I THINK OVERALL WE NEED TO HAVE AN UNDERSTANDING OF THAT.I DON'T HAVE RECORD OF THE VOICEMAIL, SO IF HE STILL WANTS TO SPEAK.
OKAY, WE'LL LET LARRY GO AND THEN WE'LL CALL YOU BACK UP.
I LIVE ON, UH, 3 54 WEST ANSLEY STREET ON THE PROPERTY WE'RE TALKING ABOUT, UH, I USED TO OWN THAT PROPERTY YEARS BACK, OF COURSE, BY TAXES AND EVERYTHING.
I HAD TO GET OUT, COULDN'T AFFORD IT.
IT'S ALWAYS BEEN IN MY FAMILY.
NOW THEY WANNA BUILD, UH, AT LEAST 31 HOMES THERE.
MY THING IS, I DON'T KNOW IF ANYBODY'S HERE, I WAS KIND OF IN THE IMPRESSION TO EXPLAIN THE PROPERTY.
I DO KNOW THERE'S NO SEWERS THERE.
HOW'S THE SEWERS GONNA COME OUT? IS IT GONNA BE A GATED COMMUNITY? UH, WHAT TYPE OF, UH, QUALITY OF HOMES ARE WE GONNA HAVE THERE? UH, JUST ON THE, THE WEST SIDE, UH, UH, OF ANSLEY DOWN COMMERCIAL, THEY PUT SOME PRETTY NICE HOMES.
THERE'S SOME REAL HIGH END QUALITY HOMES, 400,000 PLUS, WHICH IS GOOD, BUT WHEN YOU START TO BUILD 31 HOMES AND RIGHT NEXT TO EACH OTHER, UH, THERE WHERE I'M AT, I DON'T THINK, UH, TO ME IT'S JUST GONNA BE NOTHING BUT REAR WRAP THERE.
UH, THAT'S WHERE WE'RE TRYING TO AVOID.
I'M NOT SURE IF I'M THE ONLY ONE HERE, BUT I'M THE ONE THAT GOT THE NOTICE THAT'S THE 200 FEET AWAY.
AND THIS IS WHAT I'M TRYING TO, TO FIND OUT AND TO SEE THE QUALITY OF HOMES AND EVERYTHING LIKE THAT, AND ESPECIALLY IF IT'S GONNA BE LINKED TO ANY SECTION EIGHT OR, OR ANY, OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT.
I'M NOT SURE IF THE APPLICANT IS HERE.
YOU CAN ASK SOME OF YOUR QUESTIONS TO THAT PERSON.
UM, OR STAFF IF SOMEBODY WANTS TO WALK.
YES, I CAN HAVE ELIZABETH STEP OUT.
SHE'S THE CASE MANAGER ON THIS.
SO SHE'LL STEP OUT AND HAVE A CONVERSATION WITH YOU, OKAY.
BUT FOR RIGHT NOW THAT I KNOW OF AS FAR AS, UH, OTHER RESIDENTS THAT DIDN'T COME AROUND.
UH, WE'LL GO BACK TO JESS S ALL RIGHT.
I'M THE, UH, I'M THE PROPERTY OWNER THAT BORDER 64 85, HOLLY HUCK OF THE NORTH SIDE.
SO I, I WANTED TO TALK WITH YOU GUYS TODAY ABOUT, UH, KIND OF THE ECOLOGICAL IMPACT THAT I SEE HERE.
I'M NOT AGAINST DEVELOPMENT ON THE OTHER SIDE OF MY FENCE.
UH, WE'VE GOT A SYNAGOGUE COMING IN, RIGHT? HAVE NO PLANS AT ALL TO THWART THAT.
BUT, UM, THIS, THIS PARTICULAR PROPERTY, I, I DON'T THINK THAT IT'S INCLUDED IN CODE OR VARIANCE OR HOWEVER YOU CALL IT, BUT IT'S BEEN A, UH, A DUMPING GROUND EFFECTIVELY FOR QUITE SOME TIME IN OUR NEIGHBORHOOD.
SO, UH, YOU CAN SEE FROM SOME OF THE PHOTOS, IF YOU WANNA CYCLE THROUGH HERE, RIGHT? IT'S BEEN UNFIT, UNSAFE, UNSEEN WITH SOME OF THE, UH, THE, UH, THE CONTAMINANTS THAT ARE ASSOCIATED WITH IT, RIGHT? AUTO REFRIGERANT, MOTOR OIL, ALL KINDS OF STUFF LEAKING INTO THERE.
THERE'S ALREADY A, UH, WATER WELL ON THAT THAT'S BEEN DEEMED NON-POTABLE AND CONDEMNED.
SO, UH, PUTTING ANYBODY, ESPECIALLY SENIORS ON TOP OF THAT, IT, IT JUST DOESN'T FEEL LIKE THE RIGHT THING TO DO, RIGHT? EVEN IF THESE PEOPLE ARE WITHIN THEIR RIGHTS.
SO I WOULD ENCOURAGE THIS, UH, PANEL HERE TO MAYBE REVIEW THAT A LITTLE BIT FURTHER, ESPECIALLY SINCE THE STAFF RECOMMENDATION, I DO BELIEVE IS TO, UH, TO, UH, GO, GO FORWARD WITH IT, HOWEVER YOU CALL IT,
UM, WE DO HAVE ONE VOICEMAIL ON ITEM 26.
HELLO, THIS IS LINDA COOK, COOK, AND I LIVE AT 89 0 6 APACHE TRAIL, UH, SAN ANTONIO SEVEN EIGHT TWO FIVE FIVE.
AND PHONE IS TWO TEN SIX NINE EIGHT EIGHT TWO FIVE ZERO.
I'M CALLING REGARDING CASE NUMBER 23 DASH 1 8 0 4 4 5.
UM, I HAVE NO OBJECTION FOR DIVIDING THE PROPERTY AND BUILDING ANOTHER SINGLE FAMILY DWELLING.
UH, PLEASE BE AWARE THAT THERE ARE DEED RESTRICTIONS FOR UNIT ONE OF STAGE COACH HILL ON FILE WITH THE COUNTY CLERK'S OFFICE THAT RESTRICTS THE USE FOR SOLELY FOR SINGLE FAMILY DWELLING.
I BELIEVE THIS PROPERTY IS IN UNIT ONE AND THEREFORE CANNOT HAVE A BUSINESS OR ASSISTED LIVING HOME.
THERE ARE FOUR ASSISTED LIVING FACILITIES NEARBY, BUT THEY ARE NOT IN UNIT ONE, ONE OR TWO ASSISTED LIVING PROPERTIES HAVE BEEN OR ARE BEING BUILT IN UNIT ONE, AND THERE IS A DISPUTE WITH THE NEIGHBORHOOD, SO THEY ARE NOT OPERATIONAL.
I HAVE NO OBJECTION TO THE PLA THE PLA BEING RE DIVIDED, BUT I JUST WANTED THE SELLER AND THE BUYER TO BE OPEN.
THAT IS ALL THE PUBLIC COMMENT ON THE CONSENT AGENDA.
[00:10:01]
COMMENTS, QUESTIONS, OR A MOTION AT THIS TIME, I'M MOVED TO APPROVE THE CONSENT AGENDA.SECOND HERE, WE HAVE A MOTION BY COMMISSIONER PROFIT, AND A SECOND BY COMMISSIONER MILAM STAFF, PLEASE DO A ROLL CALL.
VOTE COMMISSIONER PROFIT? YES.
[Other Items ]
GREAT, THANK YOU.NOW AND INTO THE INDIVIDUAL HEARING AGENDA, I'M GONNA MOVE ITEM 44 TO THE TOP OF THAT LIST FOR ITEM NUMBER 44.
UH, THE APPLICANT IS REQUESTING A CONTINUANCE TO THE DECEMBER PC MEETING, AND THE APPLICANT IS PRESENT IF THEY WOULD LIKE TO ADD ANYTHING.
SO MOTION, OR NOT THE MOTION, BUT THE ID ON THE TABLE IS FOR A CONTINUANCE TO THE DECEMBER MEETING.

WE HAVE A MOTION BY COMMISSIONER PROFIT, AND A SECOND BY COMMISSIONER MILAM STAFF, PLEASE DO A ROLL CALL.

[Comprehensive Master Plan Amendments ]
GREAT.CLAYTON WALLACE IS PLANNING COORDINATOR WITH DEVELOPMENT SERVICES.
ITEM 35 IS A REQUEST, UH, FOR APPROVAL OF RESOLUTION TO AMEND THE LACKLAND EXTRATERRITORIAL JURISDICTION MILITARY PROTECTION AREA LAND USE PLAN FROM URBAN LOW DENSITY RESIDENTIAL TO MEDIUM DENSITY RESIDENTIAL LOCATED AT 25 13 CAMP LIGHT WAY.
THERE ARE 54 NOTICES MAILED ONE IN FAVOR, 18 OPPOSED WITHIN 200 FEET, AND THEN OUTSIDE 200 FEET.
WE HAD 39, UM, NOTICES IN WHO WERE OPPOSED.
THE APPLICANT SEEKS THIS PLAN AMENDMENT TO MEDIUM DENSITY RESIDENTIAL TO ALLOW FOR A MULTIFAMILY PROJECT TO BE BUILT AT 25 UNITS PER ACRE.
UM, CURRENTLY THE MAX ON URBAN LOAD DENSITY RESIDENTIAL IS 18 UNITS PER ACRE.
UH, THEY'RE AGAIN REQUESTING THIS TO BE 25.
THE PROPOSED MEDIUM DENSITY RESIDENTIAL IS COMPATIBLE WITH OTHER LAND USES IN THE AREA AND IS LOCATED ALONG A SECONDARY ARTERIAL ROAD PLANNED TO BE BUILT OUT TO ACCOMMODATE THE TRAFFIC, UH, WITH THAT SECONDARY ARTERIAL, THE RIGHT OF WAY DISTANCES, UH, 86 FEET ACROSS JOINT BASED SAN ANTONIO HAVING REVIEWED FOR CONDITIONS DETRIMENTAL TO THEIR ONGOING MISSION.
DOES NOT OBJECT TO THE PROPOSED PLAN.
AMENDMENT, HAS PROVIDE SOME, UH, CONDITIONS FOR THE DEVELOPMENTS.
STAFF RECOMMENDS APPROVAL AND THE APPLICANT AND THEIR REPRESENTATIVE ARE AVAILABLE FOR ANY QUESTIONS.
WOULD THE APPLICANT LIKE TO ADDRESS THE COMMISSION? THERE YOU GO.
THEY OUGHT TO MAKE ONE OF THESE FOR PEOPLE THAT ARE COLORBLIND.
UH, MY NAME IS BILL KAUFMAN, THE KAUFMAN GROUP, 100 WEST HOUSTON STREET, UH, SAN ANTONIO, TEXAS.
WE'RE REPRESENTING THE APPLICANT IN VISION.
YOU CAN SEE, UH, THE STAR, WHICH IS THE, UH, SITE.
THIS JAGGED LINE IS, UM, THE CITY LIMITS.
IT'S APPROXIMATELY TWO MILES FROM OUTSIDE THE CITY LIMITS.
AND YOU CAN SEE IN THIS AREA, THIS IS WHERE LACKLAND AIR FORCE BASE IS LOCATED.
UH, JUST A LITTLE MORE DETAILS ABOUT THE SITE.
IT'S 15 ACRES, AGAIN, TWO MILES OUTSIDE THE CITY LIMITS, UH, NEAR LACKLAND.
AND WITHIN THIS, UH, LACKLAND EX EXTRATERRITORIAL JURISDICTION, MIL MILITARY PROTECTION AREA PLAN.
UH, A, A MOMENT OR TWO ABOUT ENVISION COMPANIES.
THEY'RE VERY, VERY EXPERIENCED COMPANY QUALITY RECORD, UH, OVER 1100 OVER THEIR TENURE, 1100 CONSTRUCTION PROJECTS OF EVERY KIND.
UH, THIS PROJECT IS A CLASS, A MULTIFAMILY PROJECT, AND THEY'VE BEEN DOING THIS FOR A LONG, LONG TIME.
UH, AS STAFF INDICATED THAT CLAYTON INDICATED IT'S CURRENTLY LOW DENSITY, UH, UNDER, UNDER THE PLAN ONCE MORE, IT'S TWO MILES OUTSIDE OF THE CITY LIMITS.
UH, AS, AS CLAYTON ALSO MENTIONED, IT CURRENTLY ALLOWS MULTIFAMILY UP TO DENSITY OF 18 UNITS PER ACRE.
[00:15:01]
CASE, UH, THE, UH, APPLICANT IS SEEKING MF 25, WHICH REQUIRES AN AMENDMENT TO THE PLAN.AND YOU CAN SEE, UH, UH, WHICH IS A DE MINIMIS DIFFERENCE.
UH, I THINK YOU'D AGREE IN THE DENSITY REQUIREMENTS.
WE CALL THIS LAWYER'S MATH, BUT, UH, BEAR WITH ME.
AT 18 UNITS PER ACRE AT ALLOW CURRENTLY ALLOWS 270 UNITS UNDER THE PROPOSAL.
IT WOULD ALLOW 375 UNITS, UM, BEING A DIFFERENCE OF AN ADDITIONAL 99 UNITS OVER 15 ACRES FROM A TRAFFIC IMPACT.
UH, BEFORE WE GO ANALYSIS, YOU COULDN'T TELL THE DIFFERENCE OF 90 UNITS OVER PEAK HOUR, OVER TWO HOUR PERIOD.
IT, IT'S NEGLIGIBLE DIFFERENCE FROM WHAT CURRENTLY IS ALREADY ALLOWED.
UH, THEN I HAVE SOME SLIDES SHOWING, UH, RENDERINGS THAT THEY PROPOSED FOR THIS SITE.
IT'S VERY, UH, THREE STORY BUILDING.
UH, KIND OF A SITE PLAN, UH, NICE SETUP, UH, OVER THE COURSE OF THE SITE.
ANOTHER VIEW, UH, THIS, UH, THE ARCHITECT TOOK SOME LIBERTIES WITH ALL THE TREES THAT'S ACTUALLY SURROUNDED IN PART BY SINGLE FAMILY OR SCHOOL.
AND THAT WASN'T A TRICK, BUT, UH, BUT THAT'S WHAT THEY DID.
SO, UH, THEY'VE GOT A, A WELL-KNOWN DESIGN GROUP THAT'S TRYING TO GET THIS, UM, ON A, B, C FOR THEIR MAKEOVER PROGRAM.
THEY'RE REALLY GONNA SHOWCASE THIS PROPERTY.
UH, THESE ARE EXAMPLES OF INTERIOR FINISH OUT.
YOU CAN SEE GRANITE COUNTER, UH, STAINLESS STEEL, UH, APPLIANCES, REALLY, UH, UH, ENGINEERED WOOD.
UM, AS STAFF ALSO MENTIONED, UH, YOU, BECAUSE THIS LAND USE PLAN IS REALLY CALLED, THE LACKLAND PLAN IS REALLY FOR THE BENEFIT OF LAC, YOU'VE GOTTA SEEK APPROVAL FOR FROM THE MILITARY.
AND THIS IS THE, UH, THE LETTER OR EMAIL THEY SENT, UH, INDICATING THEIR, THAT THEY DO NOT OBJECT TO THE REQUEST.
THEY DO HAVE A LIST OF THEIR TYPICAL REQUIREMENTS, CONSTRUCTION REQUIREMENTS, UH, DOWN LIGHTING, AND ALL THE THINGS YOU WOULD EXPECT TO PROTECT THEIR MILITARY MISSION, WHICH THE APPLICANT IS GONNA AGREE TO DO.
UH, STAFF RECOMMENDED APPROVAL AND THE REASONS THEY GAVE IN THEIR ATTACHED REPORT ARE LISTED HERE.
UH, IT'S COMPATIBLE WITH OTHER AREAS, UH, OTHER USES IN THE AREA.
IT'S ALONG AS SECONDARY ARTERIAL AND, UH, JOINT BASE DOES NOT OBJECT.
SO, UM, REALLY WE'RE ASKING THE PLAN COMMISSION'S SUPPORT TO ALLOW US TO AMEND FROM A LOW DENSITY TO A MEDIUM DENSITY PROJECT.
IN THE INTEREST OF TIME, I'LL RESERVE ANY COMMENTS, AND IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, I'LL BE GLAD TO ANSWER 'EM NOW OR COME BACK AFTER YOU HEAR SPEAKERS.
WE DID REACH OUT TO THE NEIGHBORHOOD, UNFORTUNATELY, THEY ELECTED NOT TO MEET.
THEY SENT US A LETTER EMAIL BACK SAYING WE DON'T WANNA MEET AND WE'RE OPPOSED.
AND THEIR MANAGEMENT COMPANY SAID, WE DON'T KNOW.
SO I KNOW THERE ARE A COUPLE PEOPLE HERE TODAY THAT WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK, AND, UH, I THINK IF THEY WOULD'VE KNOWN FOR SOME PEOPLE THAT SENT IN, IF THEY WOULD'VE KNOWN ALREADY, IT ALLOWS MULTIFAMILY, I THINK IT WOULD'VE EASED SOME OF THEIR CONCERNS.
UH, BUT THAT'S ALL I HAVE AT THIS POINT, AND HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS.
OKAY, WE HAVE THREE VOICEMAILS FOR THIS.
HELLO, MY HOME ADDRESS IS 2 1 1 4, JUNIPER CANYON, SAN ANTONIO, 7 0 2 4 5.
CASE NUMBER TWO FOUR DASH 1 1 6 0 0 0 6 9.
AND I BASICALLY OPPOSE THE BUILD OR CONSTRUCTION OF THIS APARTMENT COMPLEX.
UH, AND I ALSO AM UPSET, UH, OVER THE RULES TO ATTEND THIS MEETING, AND IS INTENTION TO BE SET UP FOR RESIDENTS TO NOT SHOW UP MEETING AT 2:00 PM WHEN EVERYONE IS WORKING.
UH, ALSO NOTIFYING RESIDENTS THAT ARE 200 FEET FROM WHERE THIS IS GOING TO BE BUILT.
UH, THAT IS JUST SIMPLY RIDICULOUS.
AND, UH, SO BOTTOM LINE, I OPPOSE.
MY PHONE NUMBER IS (951) 215-9344.
[00:20:03]
AND THE CASE THAT I AM CALLING ABOUT IS IN 0 6 9.I AM IN OPPOSE TO THIS PROPOSITION, UH, ALREADY IN OUR NEIGHBORHOOD WE HAVE VERY HIGH AMOUNTS OF CONGESTION, NOT GREAT ROADWAYS, AND ALREADY LARGE AMOUNT OF TRAFFIC, DEPENDING ON THE TIME OF DAY FOR THE SCHOOL.
I DON'T THINK THAT THIS IS GOING TO END IN A SAFE SITUATION.
THERE'S BEEN MULTIPLE TIMES WHERE WE'VE HAD ACCIDENTS OR BOTH CALLS.
MY WIFE WORKS AS A CROSS GUARD IN THAT AREA, AND ALREADY THE TRAFFIC THAT COMES THROUGH HAS BEEN DANGEROUS FOR EVERYONE INVOLVED.
I DON'T THINK THAT THIS IS GOING TO BE A GOOD PLAN IN TERMS OF THIS OVERALL FLOW OF THE AREA.
MAYBE IF THE ROADWAYS, WHETHER IT BE PETRANKO, GROSSEN, BAER, OR EMERY THAT LEAD TO THAT AREA WERE DIFFERENT OR LARGER, I THINK THAT HAVING A, UH, HIGHER INCREASE OF, UH, POPULATION AREA WOULD MAKE THE AREA FLOW BETTER.
BUT OVERALL, RIGHT NOW IT'S NOT A GOOD PLAN.
ALSO, WE DON'T KNOW WHAT TYPE OF APARTMENTS WILL BE, DEPENDING ON THE TYPE, WHERE THERE HAS BEEN A NOTABLE INCREASE IN TIME.
UH, IF THERE ARE LOW INCOME, AFTERNOON, THOMAS BUTRICK, 2118, WARD SPRINGS, SAN ANTONIO SEVEN EIGHT TWO FOUR FIVE.
PHONE NUMBER IS (315) 767-7865.
CASE NUMBER 24 DASH 1 1 6 0 0 0 6 9 FOR THE APARTMENT COMPLEX PROPOSAL ON CAMP LIGHT WAY.
UM, STRONGLY OBJECT TO THIS PROJECT.
YOU HAVE NO IDEA THE TRAFFIC PROBLEMS WE HAVE, AND YOU WANT TO PUT IN 300 UNITS, AND THERE'S NO WAY YOU'RE GONNA HAVE ENOUGH PARKING FOR THAT.
THESE CARS WILL BE PARKED ALONG CAMP LIGHT WAY, WHERE WE ALREADY HAVE TRAFFIC ISSUES WITH THE SCHOOL AND SOME PRETTY SERIOUS CLOSE CALLS WITH KIDS GETTING HIT BY VEHICLES IN THE PAST.
UM, AND DESPITE THE SCHOOL'S BEST EFFORTS, THEY HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO IMPROVE THIS SITUATION.
UH, TWO CRIME IN THIS AREA IS INCREASING.
THIS WILL DO NOTHING BUT MAKE THAT WORSE.
UH, AND FINALLY, UM, IT'S MY OPINION, IT'S EXTREMELY COWARDLY THAT YOU WOULD HAVE YOUR OPEN MEETING ON 2:00 PM ON A WEEKDAY WHEN, ALL RIGHT, THAT WAS ALL THREE VOICEMAILS.
SO WE'LL MOVE ON TO, UH, PUBLIC COMMENT HERE.
UH, CORNELIS, I CAN'T READ THE LAST NAME.
I'M HERE, BUT I'M GONNA GIVE MY MINUTE AND TWO, DIANA.
SO, DIANA VIGO NAME AND ADDRESS FOR THE RECORD, PLEASE.
OH 1 1 1 1 6 4 1 AND INE COVE.
SO THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR SHARING THE BEAUTIFUL PLANNER, BUT UNFORTUNATELY THAT DID NOT HIGHLIGHT THE SCHOOL THAT HOUSES KINDERGARTEN TO FIFTH GRADE.
OVER A THOUSAND STUDENTS IN OUR NEIGHBORHOOD.
UM, AS YOU CAN SEE, THERE'S ONGOING TRAFFIC IN OUR AREA IN THE MORNINGS WHERE CARS JUST LINE UP TO JUST DROP OFF THEIR KIDS.
THEY LINE UP DURING THE MIDDLE OF THE DAY TO PICK UP THEIR KIDS.
THERE'S CONGESTION TO GET IN AND OUT OF OUR NEIGHBORHOOD.
YOU CAN SEE THAT IT GETS BACKED UP ALL THE WAY TO THE BACK.
SO TRAFFIC ALONE WOULD BE A NIGHTMARE.
UM, I DID WRITE A STATEMENT, UM, MANY RESIDENTS, INCLUDING MYSELF, PURCHASED OUR HOMES ON ABERDEEN COVE WITH THE INSURANCE THAT THE LAND BEHIND US WOULD REMAIN A GREEN BELT, OFFERING A SPACE OF BEAUTY AND TRANQUILITY.
WE MADE OUR INVESTMENT UNDERSTANDING THAT OUR PRIVACY AND NATURAL SURROUNDINGS WOULD BE PRESERVED.
ALLOWING THIS PROJECT TO PROCEED COULD AFFECT THE SENSE OF SERENITY BY INTRODUCING APARTMENTS THAT OVERLOOK OUR BACKYARDS, MY PROPERTY VALUE COULD ALSO DECREASE.
IT IS ALSO VITAL TO CONSIDER HOW ACCOMMODATING 280 TO 300 NEW APARTMENTS WOULD IMPACT OUR EXISTING INFRASTRUCTURE.
WE ALREADY EXPERIENCED SIGNIFICANT TRAFFIC AND CONGESTION, SOMETIMES TAKING UP TO 20 MINUTES TO EXIT OUR NEIGHBORHOOD.
MEDINA VALLEY, ISD IS ALSO EXPERIENCING CONSIDERABLE GROWTH.
OUR CLASSROOMS ARE NEARING CAPACITY WITH NEARLY 30 STUDENTS IN EACH.
WE CURRENTLY ONLY HAVE ONE ELEMENTARY, MIDDLE SCHOOL, AND HIGH SCHOOL SERVICING OUR COMMUNITY.
THE DEMAND FOR MORE BUS DRIVERS AND BUSES IS PRESSING AS STUDENTS OFTEN ARRIVE LATE TO AND FROM SCHOOL DUE TO SCHEDULING ISSUES.
FURTHERMORE, THE SAN ANTONIO POLICE DEPARTMENT HAS INDICATED THAT APARTMENT COMPLEXES CAN BECOME TARGETS FOR BOTH PROPERTY AND VIOLENT CRIMES.
IN LIGHT OF THESE CONCERNS, CONSIDER ALTERNATIVE POSSIBILITIES FOR THIS SPACE.
[00:25:01]
POLICE STATION, A FIREHOUSE, ANOTHER SCHOOL WOULD REALLY BE HELPFUL.UM, A COMMUNITY PARK, EVEN OTHER HOMES IF THAT HAD TO BE INSTEAD OF 200 TO 300 APARTMENTS.
ALRIGHT, THAT IS ALL THE FOLKS THAT HAVE SIGNED UP TO SPEAK ON THIS.
UM, WE'LL MOVE ON TO COMMISSIONER QUESTIONS.
WE'LL START ON THE LEFT WITH COMMISSIONER LOPEZ.
UH, JUST ONE QUESTION FOR STAFF.
UM, I KNOW THAT WE'RE OCL ON THIS, BUT WHEN THEY, WHEN THEY SUBMIT WITH THE HIGHER, UH, FROM MF 18, MF 25, IS THERE, IS THERE PARKLAND REGULATIONS THAT THEY HAVE TO ALSO INCREASE BECAUSE OF THE DENSITY, UNIT DENSITY INCREASE? WHAT WAS THE QUESTION? I'M SORRY.
UH, WELL, WHEN THEY, WHEN THEY PUT IN MORE UNITS.
SO THEY ALSO HAVE TO DO MORE PARKLAND, UH, DEDICATION AND, AND OFFERINGS AS, AS THEY DEVELOP.
SO THAT'LL, THAT'LL GET REVIEWED DURING THE PLATTING PROCESS.
SO PARKS WILL GET A SPECIFIC REVIEW.
IT'S OCL L SO IT IS SUBJECT TO IT.
I JUST WANT, YEAH, THEY'RE SUBJECT TO, FOR ANY RESIDENTIAL USE, THEY'RE SUBJECT TO A PROPERTY.
I JUST WANTED TO POINT OUT FOR THE PEOPLE THAT, UH, SIGN UP TO SPEAK, THAT THEY HAVE, YOU KNOW, IF THEY GO UP IN UNITS, THEY ALSO HAVE TO GO UP IN, YOU KNOW, EVALUATION FOR TRAFFIC, EVALUATION FOR PARKS AND EVALUATION FOR DRAINAGE AND ALL THAT GOOD STUFF, RIGHT? YES.
AND THAT'LL ALL HAPPEN DURING PLATING.
UH, MY ONLY CONCERN WAS THAT, UH, YOU GOT APPROVAL FROM THE AIR FORCE FOR FLYOVERS AND THE LIGHTING.
SO, JBSA, UM, WE SEND THEM A NOTIFICATION OF WHAT'S BEING PROPOSED AND THEN THEY, THIS IS KIND OF THEIR PRELIMINARY CHANCE TO APPROVE IT AFTER THE FACT.
THEY ALSO HAVE TO GET, THE DEVELOPER HAS TO GET A CERTIFICATE OF COMPATIBILITY, UM, WHICH IS THROUGH US.
ARE THERE LIGHTING AT THAT POINT TO, TO ENSURE THAT IN COMPLIES WITH THE, UH, MILITARY LIGHTING OVERLAY? SO YES, IN A SENSE, RANDOL OR JOINT BASE, SAN ANTONIO HAS APPROVED THIS AS A, AS THE LAND USE, THE ACTUAL LIGHTING PLAN WILL BE REVIEWED AT A LATER DATE.
COMMISSIONER SIEGEL, I DON'T HAVE ANY QUESTIONS.
UM, YOU KNOW, AGAIN, THIS IS PRIVATE LAND, SO IT'S SUBJECT TO CHANGE AND EVERYBODY, WE, WE ALL WANT MORE PARK LANDS AND SCHOOLS.
UM, BUT THERE'S ALSO A DEMAND FOR, FOR HOUSING.
SO, UM, IT SEEMS LIKE A, UH, YOU KNOW, A GOOD SPOT FOR, FOR MULTIFAMILY.
AND, BUT THE MAIN THING IS I ENCOURAGE THE DEVELOPER AND THE COMMUNITY TO WORK TOGETHER, UH, TO, YOU KNOW, ON THIS PROJECT IF IT GETS APPROVED.
IF THE REVIEW PROCESS LATER, UH, UM, DOES NOT, UH, COMPLY WITH PROVIDING ADDITIONAL PARKING SPACE, MM-HMM.
SO IF THE PARKING MINIMUM IS LIKE TWO SPACES PER UNIT, IF THEY CAN'T PROVIDE THAT, THEN THEY WOULD NEED TO LOWER THEIR UNIT COUNT TO MEET THAT REQUIREMENT.
I HAVE NO QUESTIONS BUT ECHO COMMISSIONER PROFITS STATEMENT.
UM, IS THERE ANY OTHER COMMISSIONER QUESTIONS? IF NOT, WE'LL ENTERTAIN A MOTION ON THIS ITEM.
MOVE FOR SUPPORT OF THE STAFF RECOMMENDATION.
SO WE HAVE A MOTION FOR APPROVAL BY COMMISSIONER GARCIA.
WE HAVE A SECOND BY COMMISSIONER.
MY NAME IS SAMANTHA BENAVIDEZ, PLANNER WITH DEVELOPMENT SERVICES.
ITEM NUMBER 36 IS A REQUEST FOR APPROVAL OF A RESOLUTION TO AMEND THE SAN ANTONIO INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT VICINITY LAND USE PLAN FROM COMMUNITY COMMERCIAL TO REGIONAL COMMERCIAL.
LOCATED AT 2 1 4 6 AUSTIN HIGHWAY, THERE WERE 10 NOTICES MAILED FOUR IN FAVOR, ZERO OPPOSED WITHIN 200 FEET, AND NO RESPONSE OUTSIDE 200 FEET.
[00:30:01]
REGISTERED NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATION IN THE AREA.THE APPLICANT SEEKS TO SEEKS A PLAN AMENDMENT TO REGIONAL COMMERCIAL TO REZONE TO C3 S GENERAL COMMERCIAL DISTRICT WITH A SPECIFIC USE AUTHORIZATION FOR SPECIFIED FINANCIAL INSTITUTION.
THOUGH THE PROPERTY IS SITUATED WITHIN AN ESTABLISHED COMMERCIAL CORRIDOR, C3 EXCEEDS THE INTENSITY PERMITTED WITHIN THE COMMUNITY.
COMMUNITY COMMERCIAL, FUTURE LAND USE DESIGNATION IDENTIFIED WITHIN THE SAN ANTONIO INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT VICINITY LAND USE PLAN STAFF FINDS THAT THE PROPERTY DOES NOT MEET THE RECOMMENDED SIZE CRITERIA FOR THE REQUESTED LAND USE DESIGNATION.
REGIONAL COMMERCIAL IS TYPICALLY MEANT FOR LARGER PARTIALS 20 ACRES OR MORE.
TO SUPPORT BIG BOX COMMERCIAL DEVELOPMENTS, STAFF RECOMMENDS DENIAL AND THE APPLICANT'S REPRESENTATIVE IS HERE TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS.
I'M, UH, DREW SANDAGE AND THE ADDRESS IS, UH, 2146 AUSTIN HIGHWAY.
UM, THERE'S UH, NO OPPOSITION TO THIS AND I'M TRYING TO OPEN A, UM, A SAME DAY LOAN STORE.
IT'S, UH, CURRENTLY ZONED C3 AND I'M TRYING TO RETAIN THE PROPERTY OWNER'S RIGHTS TO THE, TO C3.
AND, UH, SO I REALLY WANT THE C3 S AND, UM, IT'S BEEN UNDER THE SAME OWNERSHIP FOR 20 YEARS, I GUESS.
AND, UH, IT'S CURRENTLY C3 AND IT'S BEEN GRANDFATHERED THAT, UH, CHANGING THE ZONING WOULD NEGATIVE, NEGATIVELY IMPACT THE, THE LANDOWNER TO C TWO OR WHATEVER.
AND THE DISTRICT TO COMMUNITY STRONGLY SUPPORTS THE CHANGE.
I WOULD ADD ONE TO FIVE JOBS FOR THE DISTRICT.
UH, JUST WANT THE SPECIFIC USE FOR FINANCIAL INSTITUTIONS.
THE SPACE IS GONNA BE USED AS OFFICE SPACE WITH MEETINGS FOR, YOU KNOW, THE PUBLIC, UH, NOTHING OUTRAGEOUS.
UH, JUST, UH, MEETINGS AND, UH, DESKS AND COMPUTERS.
I JUST DON'T WANT TO CHANGE THE CURRENT C3 ZONING.
THE OFFICE SPACE ADHERES TO THE COMMUNITY COMMERCIAL GUIDELINES.
UM, I WANNA PROMOTE BUSINESS IN DISTRICT TWO.
I WANT TO, UH, YOU KNOW, ALIGN IT WITH THE CONSTITUENT STRONG SUPPORT, UH, PROVIDE SOME JOBS AND THERE'S NO OPPOSITION TO THIS.
THIS AGAIN, JUST KIND OF REITERATES EVERYTHING, BUT, UM, I RECOMMEND FOR THE APPROVAL.
UH, THE COMMUNITY STRONGLY SUPPORTS IT.
THE PROPERTY OWNER STRONGLY SUPPORTS IT.
UH, AND THAT'S WHY I RECOMMEND THE APPROVAL.
THERE'S NOBODY SIGNED UP TO SPEAK, SO WE'LL GO TO COMMISSIONER.
COMMISSIONER SIPES, UM, QUESTION FOR STAFF.
UM, SO THE S DESIGNATION IS, IS THE REASON THAT WE NEED TO, TO CHANGE THE THAT IS CORRECT.
THEY NEED THE S FOR THE SPECIFIC USE AUTHORIZATION FOR A SPECIFIED FINANCIAL INSTITUTION.
AND THAT S COULD BE APPLIED TO A LOWER DESIGNATION AS LOWER ZONING DESIGNATION, EVEN THOUGH WE'RE NOT ZONING.
UM, THAT'S THE EXTENT OF MY QUESTIONS.
COMMISSIONER ZUKI? NO QUESTION, NO QUESTIONS.
JUST TO CLARIFY, COMMISSIONER SIPES, SO ARE YOU SAYING THAT THE APPLICANT COULD DO A C TWO S THAT IS AN OPTION TO OPEN UP THE SPECIFIED FINANCIAL INSTITUTION? CORRECT.
AND NOT, AND NOT REQUIRE CHANGE TO THE PLAN? IT WOULD NOT REQUIRE THE PLAN AMENDMENT.
BUT FOR, FOR US TO, IF THEY WERE TO CHANGE THAT THEN, UM, THE REQUEST TO C TWO S, THERE WOULD NOT BE A PLAN AMENDMENT CHANGE? THAT IS CORRECT.
'CAUSE THEIR EXISTING COMMUNITY COMMERCIAL, WHICH, UH, SUPPORTS THE C TWO BASED ZONING.
UM, SO ONE, ONE THING THAT'S INTERESTING TO ME IS THAT THIS PLAN AMENDMENT COMMISSIONER SIEGEL, CAN YOU USE YOUR MIC? THANK YOU.
UM, ONE THING THAT'S INTERESTING TO ME IS THAT THIS PLAN AMENDMENT REQUEST DOESN'T AFFECT THE ENTIRE PROPERTY.
IT'S A TINY PORTION OF THE PROPERTY PARCEL ITSELF THAT THEY'RE REQUESTING A PLAN AMENDMENT FOR.
IS THAT CORRECT? IT'S SO THAT THE PROPERTY OWNER CAN MAINTAIN THE C3 DESIGNATION.
[00:35:01]
WHAT HE CURRENTLY HAS.I ONLY WANT TO OPEN THE ONE LOCATION IN THAT SMALL SLIVER.
THE REST OF IT, UH, DOESN'T NEED THE DESIGNATION AND THEREFORE I DIDN'T, I DIDN'T ATTEMPT TO CHANGE ANYTHING MORE THAN I NEEDED.
UM, SO TYPICALLY REGIONAL COMMERCIAL APPLIES TO PROPERTIES OF 20 ACRES OR MORE.
AND IT LOOKS LIKE THIS, THAT THE APP PLAN AMENDMENT IS REQUESTED FOR IS LESS THAN A 10TH OF AN ACRE.
SO IT'S 40 TIMES SMALLER THAN THE TYPICAL REGIONAL COMMERCIAL PROPERTY AREA.
IS THERE A REASON THE REGIONAL COMMERCIAL WAS NOT REQUESTED FOR THE ENTIRE PROPERTY? UH, SHE'S GONNA SPEAK ON MY BEHALF ON SOME OF THIS.
I AM A CONSULTANT WHO WORKS FOR MR. SANDAGE.
UM, RIGHT NOW THE PROPERTY OWNER JUST WANTS TO MAINTAIN THEIR C3 OVERALL FOR THE PROPERTY.
UM, UH, MY CLIENT OBVIOUSLY PAID HIS FEES AT HIS EXPENSE, NOT AT THE OWNER'S EXPENSE WITH THE PROPERTY OWNER'S APPROVAL.
UM, HE IS ONLY LEASING THE SPACE ON A FIVE YEAR LEASE TERM.
SO OF COURSE HE'S ONLY SPECIFYING FOR HIS SPECIFIC PROPERTY BECAUSE THIS PROPERTY IS OVER 25 YEARS OLD, IT'S INDIVIDUALLY ADDRESSED.
SO WE WERE ABLE TO SUBMIT JUST FOR HIS ONE ADDRESS, WHICH OF COURSE, UM, NOT REZONE EVERYTHING.
AND THE PROPERTY OWNER DOESN'T WANNA MOVE DOWN TO A C TWO AND LOSE THAT DESIGNATION THAT WAY.
IN THE FUTURE, UM, FOR WHATEVER BUSINESS DECIDES TO GO IN, HE CAN STILL OP, THEY CAN STILL OPERATE AS A C3.
AND WE'RE JUST ASKING FOR THE SPECIFIC USE TO BE IN LINE WITH HIS CERTIFICATE OF OCCUPANCY REQUIREMENTS AND THE BANKING REQUIREMENTS, UM, THAT HE NEEDS TO HAVE YA'S APPROVAL ON CITY-WISE.
SO IT'S JUST RED TAPE FOR HIS, UM, SPECIFIC USE FOR HIS OPERATIONS.
IT'S NOT RED TAPE THOUGH BECAUSE IT'S REQUESTING TO MAKE AN AMENDMENT TO A PLAN THAT THE COMMUNITY APPROVED.
AND THIS, THIS PLAN IS ABOUT 20 YEARS OLD, SO THE MAJORITY OF THAT AREA IS ALREADY ZONED COMMERCIAL AND IS ZONED.
UM, IT'S IN THE COMMERCIAL CORRIDOR ANYWAYS.
SO THERE IS VERY LIMITED LAND FOR FUTURE DEVELOPMENT.
EVERYTHING IN THAT AREA IS PRETTY MUCH DEVELOPED ALREADY AND THERE'S NOT VERY MUCH SPACE.
SO THAT'S WHY THE PROPERTY OWNER ONLY WANTED TO DO THE SPECIFIC USE FOR HIS ONE, UM, SUITE.
IT SEEMS LIKE THE LANDOWNER IS BEING AN OBSTRUCTIONIST TO, TO ONE USE OF HIS PROPERTY.
UM, AND I KIND OF QUESTION WHY, UH, YOU INSIST ON GOING INTO THAT AREA? UH, THEY HAD A WHOLE, UH, REDEVELOPMENT PLAN ON AUSTIN HIGHWAY ONE TIME, AND I DON'T KNOW IF HE WAS PART OF THAT OR NOT.
I BELIEVE THE PLAN YOU'RE REFERRING TO IS A LITTLE BIT FURTHER UP THE ROUTE, UP THE ROAD FOR WHERE THERE'S MORE DEVELOPMENT AND MORE NEWER DEVELOPED PROPERTIES.
HOWEVER, IT DID INCLUDE THIS PORTION OF IT.
THERE IS NO SPACE FOR ANY ADDITIONAL GROWTH.
EVERYTHING IN THERE IS PROBABLY ABOUT 20 TO 35 YEARS OLD IN THAT AREA FOR THE EXISTING SHOPPING CENTERS.
HIS SPECIFIC BUSINESS, THERE IS NOT ANYTHING IN THE THREE BUILDINGS LOCATED WITHIN HIS PARCEL THAT THAT PROPERTY OWNER OWNS.
UM, THERE, IT'S, I MEAN HE'S JUST TRYING TO, HE'S, HE WOULD BE THE ONLY BUSINESS IN THAT AREA THAT OFFERS THAT.
UM, ANYTHING WITHIN PROBABLY ABOUT 500 FEET OF THAT.
THERE IS NOT ANY BUSINESS TYPE THAT, SO IT DOES, UM, IT'S A SIGNIFICANTLY ATTRACTIVE SITE FOR HIS MARKET AND FOR THE OPPORTUNITY FOR, UM, THE NEIGHBORHOOD AND EVERYBODY WHO NEEDS, UH, LOANS IN THE AREA THAT AREN'T ABLE TO GET QUALIFIED WITH LARGER BANKS.
UH, MY, I JUST HAVE STATEMENTS.
YEAH, THERE'S A LOT OF C3 ON THAT SIDE OF AUSTIN HIGHWAY.
UH, I DON'T TAKE ANY ISSUE WITH THIS REQUEST 'CAUSE I KNOW THE LANDOWNER HAS C3 AND IF THIS APPLICANT WERE TO MOVE FORWARD UNDER HIS CURRENT LAND USE DESIGNATION, HE WOULD HAVE TO CHANGE IT TO C TWO AND, AND THAT WOULD BE A DETRIMENT TO THE LANDOWNER.
SO I DON'T HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THIS.
IT'S, IT'S MORE LIMITING 'CAUSE IT'S ON THAT ONE SUITE AND IT'S, AND IT'S NOT AS FAR REACHING.
UH, IS THERE ANY OTHER COMMISSIONER QUESTIONS OR A MOTION I'LL MOVE TO DENY THE APPLICANT'S REQUEST.
WE HAVE A MOTION FOR DENIAL BY COMMISSIONER SIEGEL.
WE HAVE A SECOND BY COMMISSIONER MILAM.
[00:40:01]
CH UH, COMMISSIONER PROFIT? YES.ARE YOU FOR THE RECORD? IT IS 2 56 AND COMMISSIONER JAKI IS LEAVING THE MEETING FOR RECUSAL.

THERE IS ZERO IN FAVOR AND ONE OPPOSED.
AND THERE IS NO REGISTERED NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATION WITHIN 200 FEET.
THE APPLICANT SEEKS A PLAN AMENDMENT TO REGIONAL COMMERCIAL TO REZONE TO C3 GENERAL COMMERCIAL DISTRICT.
THE EXISTING LOW DENSITY RESIDENTIAL LAND USE IS DESIGNATED FOR SINGLE FAMILY DWELLINGS AND OTHER USES PERMITTED IN SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL BASED ZONING DISTRICTS.
AND TO SUPPORT GENERAL COMMERCIAL DEVELOPMENT, THE CHANGE TO REGIONAL COMMERCIAL IS REQUIRED.
STAFF FINDS TO PROPOSE REGIONAL COMMERCIAL AND CONSISTENT WITH THE SURROUNDING AREA AND WOULD INTRODUCE COMMERCIAL ENCROACHMENT INTO AN AN ESTABLISHED NEIGHBORHOOD.
THE SUBJECT PROPERTY BUTS EXISTING REGIONAL COMMERCIAL, HOWEVER, THE ACCESS TO THAT PROPERTY IS ALONG AN INTERSTATE HIGHWAY FRONTAGE ROAD, WHEREAS THE SUBJECT'S PROPERTY'S ACCESS IS OFF A LOCAL STREET WITH A SINGLE FAMILY.

ITEM NUMBER 38 IS A REQUEST FOR APPROVAL OF A RESOLUTION TO AMEND THE HERITAGE SOUTH SECTOR PLAN FROM COUNTRY TIER TO RURAL ESTATE TIER LOCATED AT 1 9 1 7 5 TRUMBO ROAD.
THERE WERE 17 NOTICES MAILED ONE IN FAVOR, ZERO POSED WITHIN 200 FEET AND NO REGISTERED NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATION.
THE PROPOSED PLAN AMENDMENT FROM COUNTRY TIER TO RURAL STATE TIER IS REQUESTED TO REZONE THE PROPERTY TO RE RESIDENTIAL STATE DISTRICT.
THE EXISTING COUNTRY AND TIER LAND USE PRESERVES AGRICULTURAL AREAS AND PROTECTS VALUABLE NATURAL RESOURCES, WHICH IS CHARACTERISTIC OF THE LARGE FARM AND RANCH USES EXISTING IN THE SURROUNDING AREA.
[00:45:01]
RULE OF STATE TIER IS INCONSISTENT WITH THE BUDDING LAND USES.THE ADDITION OF THIS LAND USE DESIGNATION WOULD ALLOW A MORE INTENSE DENSITY UNCHARACTERISTIC WITH THE EXISTING DWELLINGS IN THE AREA.
STAFF RECOMMENDS DENIAL AND THIS CASE WENT TO ZONING COMMISSION ON NOVEMBER 5TH WHERE IT WAS RECOMMENDED FOR APPROVAL.
THE APPLICANT'S REPRESENTATIVE IS HERE TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS.
WOULD THE APPLICANT LIKE TO APPROACH THE PODIUM? I DO HAVE A VERY BRIEF, UH, PRESENTATION.
NAME AND ADDRESS FOR THE RECORD.
CAROLINE MCDONALD
UH, 100 NORTHEAST LOOP FOUR 10.
GOOD AFTERNOON, MR. CHAIR COMMISSIONERS.
I'M HERE ON BEHALF OF THE PROPERTY OWNER AND APPLICANT FOR THIS PLAN AMENDMENT THAT'S IN FRONT OF YOU.
IT'S ABOUT 25 ACRES LOCATED, UH, NORTHWEST OR ISH OF UH, I THINK IT'S 1604 IN TRUMBO ROAD.
PLEASANTON ROAD IS ALSO, UH, TWO OUR EAST.
UM, SO YOU CAN SEE HERE 25 ACRES.
THERE IS CURRENTLY ONE SINGLE FAMILY HOME ON THE PROPERTY AND IT IS A, UH, A FAMILY.
THEY WANT TO SUBDIVIDE IT TO PUT ABOUT THREE ADDITIONAL HOMES ON THE PROPERTY FOR THEIR CHILDREN.
YOU CAN SEE HERE THE PROPERTY IS ZONED FARM AND RANCH.
WE'RE REQUESTING RESIDENTIAL ESTATE SO THAT THEY CAN PUT 4, 4, 3 OR FOUR ADDITIONAL HOMES.
SO, UH, WE ARE, UH, SURROUNDED BY RESOURCE PROTECTION.
UM, BUT THERE ARE OTHER HOMES IN THE AREA.
SO THE PLAN AMENDMENT THAT CORRESPONDS WITH THE ZONING REQUEST IS FROM COUNTRY TIER TO RURAL ESTATE TIER.
UM, HERE IS A MAP FOR REFERENCE OF THE I COD OVERLAY THAT WAS, UH, BEFORE YOU A COUPLE MONTHS AGO AND NEVER WENT TO COUNCIL.
WE ARE WITHIN THE ZONE B, UM, BECAUSE OF THE LARGE INDUSTRIAL PLANT TO OUR NORTHWEST.
HERE IS THE SITE PLAN THAT THE ENGINEER, UH, DREW UP.
UH, YOU CAN SEE THE LOTS ARE RANGING BETWEEN SIX AND SEVEN ACRES FOR EACH HOME.
IT'S A VERY DEEP, UH, DEEP LOT.
UM, ALL WILL HAVE ACCESS ONTO TRUMBO.
AND AGAIN, THIS IS INTENDED TO STAY WITHIN THE FAMILY.
UH, YOU CAN KIND OF SEE THE AREA, UH, AROUND IT.
IT'S GOING TO STAY CONSISTENT WITH, WITH WHAT IS ACROSS THE STREET AND OF COURSE UP AND DOWN TRUMBO.
SO WITH THAT, I RESPECTFULLY REQUEST YOUR APPROVAL OF THE PLAN AMENDMENT TODAY AND I CAN ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS YOU MAY HAVE.
ALRIGHT, THANK YOU MS. MCDONOUGH.
UM, THERE'S NOBODY SIGNED UP TO SPEAK, SO WE WILL GO TO COMMISSIONER QUESTIONS.
I DON'T HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, SO ENTERTAIN A MOTION.
I MOVE TO APPROVE THE REQUEST.
OKAY, WE HAVE A MOTION FOR APPROVAL BY COMMISSIONER ORIAN.
AND I'M GONNA GIVE THE TIE TO COMMISSIONER SIEGEL THIS TIME.
THE MOTION IS TO APPROVE THE APPLICANT'S REQUEST.
UH, STAFF PLEASE DO A ROLL CALL.
ITEM NUMBER 40, GOOD AFTERNOON.
MY NAME IS SAMANTHA BENAVIDEZ, PLANNER WITH DEVELOPMENT SERVICES.
ITEM NUMBER 40 IS A REQUEST FOR APPROVAL OF A RESOLUTION TO AMEND THE WEST SOUTHWEST SECTOR.
PLAN FROM GENERAL URBAN TIER TO REGIONAL CENTER LOCATED AT, GENERALLY LOCATED AT THE 1600 BLOCK OF MEADOW WAY DRIVE.
THERE WERE 20 NOTICES MAILED TWO IN FAVOR, ONE OPPOSED WITHIN 200 FEET AND TWO IN FAVOR OUTSIDE 200 FEET LACKLAND TERRACE NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATION IS IN FAVOR.
THE APPLICANT SEEKS A PLAN AMENDMENT TO REGIONAL CENTER TO REZONE TO SEE THREE GENERAL COMMERCIAL DISTRICT GIVEN THE PROXIMITY TO FAMILY RESIDENTIAL USES WITH A GENERAL URBAN TIER LAND USE CLASSIFICATION.
THE PROPOSED PLAN AMENDMENT IS NOT APPROPRIATE WITHIN THE WEST SOUTHWEST SECTOR.
THE REGIONAL CENTER LAND USE DESIGNATION RECOMMENDS THAT INTENSE COMMERCIAL USES BE LOCATED AT THE INTERSECTION OF EXPRESSWAYS AND MAJOR ARTERIALS.
CONSIDERING THE PROPERTY'S LOCATION OFF OF A LOCAL STREET.
[00:50:01]
THAT THE PROPERTY DOES NOT MEET THE LOCATIONAL REQUIREMENTS FOR THE REQUESTED LAND USE DESIGNATION.ADDITIONALLY, THERE IS NO REGIONAL CENTER LAND USE IN PROXIMITY TO THE PROPERTY MAKING THE REQUEST UNCHARACTERISTIC AND INCONSISTENT WITH THE AREA.
STAFF RECOMMENDS DENIAL AND THE APPLICANT IS HERE TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS.
THE APPLICANT WOULD LIKE TO APPROACH THE PODIUM NAME AND ADDRESS FOR THE RECORD, PLEASE.
JESSE'S GONNA GO 55 11 SAN PEDRO.
UH, BEFORE WE BEGIN, I'D LIKE TO THANK YOU GUYS FOR YOUR SERVICE AS A FORMER HDRC COMMISSIONER.
I RESPECT AND THANK FOR ALL Y'ALL SERVICE, WHICH Y'ALL DO UP HERE.
UM, THE REASON WE'RE HERE TODAY IS THE, UH, PROPERTY OWNER I'M REPRESENTING HERE AS WANTED TO, UH, UH, CONSTRUCT A NEW CAR FACILITY ON THE PROPERTY AND WE'D BE HAPPY TO ACCEPT A C TWO CD DESIGNATION TO BE ABLE TO OPERATE A NEW CAR DEALERSHIP AND A SERVICE GARAGE.
HOWEVER, BECAUSE OF THE THE NATURE OF THE BUSINESS, WE HAVE, UH, MULTIPLE PROPERTY OWNERS AND AS WE UNDERSTAND IT, THAT IS NOT ALLOWED UNDER THE C TWO CD DESIGNATION.
SO THAT'S WHY WE'RE HERE AT C3.
IS THAT YOUR PRESENTATION? UH, AND AS I CAN SEE, JUST VERY QUICKLY, WE MET WITH THE, UH, TON TERRACE NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATION.
UH, WE'VE BEEN TRANSPARENT WITH ALL THE PROPERTY OWNERS.
WE HAVE LETTERS OF SUPPORT FROM ALL THE BUSINESSES AROUND US AND UH, WE'VE TRIED TO CONTACT SOME OF THE NEIGHBORS BEHIND US PAST THAT DRAINAGE, DITCH THAT RIGHT AWAY.
UM, BUT WE KNOW THERE'S CONCERNS ABOUT SECURITY AND LIGHTING AND OBVIOUSLY THIS SINGLE STRUCTURE WOULD PROVIDE THAT AT THIS PROPERTY.
BUT AGAIN, WE'RE JUST HERE BECAUSE GOING FROM A C TWO CD IS NOT ALLOWED TO HAVE A BUSINESS OWNER FOR THE SERVICE GARAGE AND A BUSINESS OWNER FOR THE SALES FLOOR.
AND IF, UH, YOU'D LIKE TO GET MORE TECHNICAL ABOUT THAT, THE BUSINESS OWNER, THE PROPERTY ARM, EXCUSE ME, COULD EXPLAIN MORE TO THAT.
QUESTIONS START WITH COMMISSIONER LOPEZ.
I I GUESS SINCE YOU OFFERED, WHAT IS THE PLAN FOR THE SITE? UH, THE, THE PLAN FOR THE SITE IS WE'RE, WE'RE TRYING TO ENGAGE, UH, NEW CAR FRANCHISE ONTO THE SITE.
HOWEVER, THE WAY THE BUSINESS OPERATES IS THAT THE SALES FLOOR COULD BE OPERATED BY ONE BUSINESS ENTITY, BUT THE SERVICE GARAGE SERVICING THOSE VEHICLES IS OPERATED BY ANOTHER BUSINESS ENTITY.
AND AS WE UNDERSTAND, THE ZONING FOR C TWO CD WOULD ONLY ALLOW FOR ONE BUSINESS OWNER ON THAT PROPERTY.
SO THAT'S WHY THE RECOMMENDATION IS TO GO TO C3, BUT THAT'S OUR PROPOSED PLAN.
SO AFTER HEARING WHAT THE APPLICANT IS, IS STATING IT'S, IS IT THE OWNERSHIP OF THE BUILDING THAT IS CAUSING THIS ISSUE? OR IS THE FACT THAT HE'S HAVING A SECOND BUSINESS RUN? I MEAN, IS THERE AN OWNERSHIP OF THE GARAGE THAT'S UNDER THIS SEPARATE COMPANY THAT YOU WANT TO HAVE THAT'S CAUSING THE PROBLEM WITH YOU HAVING TO NOT WITH YOU NOT BEING ABLE TO DO A C TWO CD? I MEAN, I, I CAN SOME, CAN YOU EXPLAIN? I CAN, I CAN KIND OF EXPLAIN, UM, KIND OF WHAT HE WAS BRIEFING ON.
WE DO HAVE AN OPTION OF, UH, MOTOR VEHICLE SALES WITH FULL SERVICE.
SO YOUR TYPICAL, UM, DEALERSHIPS THAT YOU GO TO TAKE YOUR CAR TO BE SERVICED OR WHATNOT.
BUT THOSE ARE UNDER AN, LIKE AN UMBRELLA, LIKE ONE ENTITY.
AND UM, THAT IS SOMETHING THAT THEY WERE, I BELIEVE THEY WANTED TO KEEP 'EM SEPARATE SO IT WOULDN'T BE UNDER THE SAME COMPANY NAME OR OWNER NAME OR WHATNOT.
IT WOULD BE SEPARATE COMPANIES.
UH, AND THEN IS THERE, IS THERE ANY SORT OF, UM, YOU KNOW HOW YOU CAN HAVE, I THINK IT'S ASSOCIATED ZONING OR SOMETHING WHERE YOU HAVE A, YOU HAVE A, A DIFFERENT ZONING THAT'S ALLOWED WITH A LIMITED OF A PERCENTAGE, LIKE MAYBE 20 OR 30% YOU COULD HAVE AN ACCESSORY USE YEAH.
IS IT, WOULD THAT QUALIFY SOMEHOW FOR HIM TO DO IT THAT WAY? UM, IT WOULD HAVE, THEY WOULD HAVE STRICT GUIDELINES LIKE ONLY 25% COULD BE OF A C3 USE.
AND I'M NOT CERTAIN IF THAT WAS, IS THAT TOO SMALL? WE WOULD PLAN OUT 25% OF THE TRACK.
SO IF YOU WERE TO, IF YOU WERE TO PUT IN A C TWO CD FOR LIKE A MOTOR VEHICLE SALES, YOU COULD POTENTIALLY HAVE AN ACCESSORY USE.
AND LET ME JUST CONFIRM BECAUSE I WANT TO, I'M JUST TRYING TO FIGURE OUT IF THERE'S SOME PATHWAY WITHOUT HIM HAVING TO DO THIS THAT HE COULD PURSUE.
MAKE UP MY MIND IF I MADE ON A C3.
IF YOU COULD SPEAK INTO THE MICROPHONE.
ON A C TWO ZONING, YOU ONLY HAVE, IS IT WORKING OKAY.
ON A C TWO ZONING YOU CAN ONLY DO LIGHT AUTOMOTIVE REPAIRS.
FRANCHISES DO MORE THAN LIGHT AUTOMOTIVE REPAIRS, WHICH IS NOT JUST YOUR SPARK PLUG TUNEUP CHANGES.
BUT ACCESSORY ZONING CAN SOMETIMES ALLOW YOU TO USE SOMETHING MORE INTENSIVE IN THE DISTRICT THAT YOU'RE CURRENTLY IN WITH THE LIMIT OF THE USE.
AND THAT'S WHAT I'M CURIOUS TO KNOW.
IF YOU DO HAVE A PATHWAY TO GET WHAT YOU'RE LOOKING FOR WITHOUT HAVING TO DO THIS, UH, LAND USE CHANGE, I'D LIKE TO KNOW THAT IT
[00:55:01]
WOULDN'T WORK.UH, THE ACCESSORY USE ONLY, UM, ALLOWS.
UH, YEAH, WELL YOU VERY MUCH, IT WORKS THAT WAY.
ALONG THAT TRACK, WHETHER THERE BE SOME TYPE OF VARIANCE WITHIN THAT C TWO CD THAT COULD BE GRANTED TO PROVIDE THAT WITHOUT HAVING TO GO INTO ANOTHER TIER OR C3.
'CAUSE WE'RE NOT DOING A SHOPPING CENTER OR NOTHING INTENSE LIKE THAT, SADLY.
YEAH, WE CAN'T HAVE TWO SEPARATE, UM, CONDITIONAL USES.
SO THAT'S TECHNICALLY WHAT THEY WERE REQUESTING.
SO I DON'T HAVE ANY QUESTIONS.
IT'S, I TRYING TO MAKE IT WORK IS WHAT IT SOUNDS LIKE HERE.
WE'RE JUST KIND OF AT AN IMPASSE AND UNFORTUNATELY IT PUTS US TO THE NEXT TIER, WHICH YEAH, OBVIOUSLY WE'RE NOT, YEAH, I DON'T KNOW WHAT THE EXACT SOLUTION IS.
I MEAN, REGIONAL CENTERS, UH, PRETTY, UH, INTENSE, UH, FOR THAT WHERE IT'S LOCATED.
SO, SO THERE IS A C3 THAT'S ACROSS THE STREET, BUT I WAS ASKING SAMANTHA, SHE SAID IT'S BECAUSE THE DRAINAGE THAT'S BUTTED UP TO OUR PROPERTY IS CONSIDERED RESIDENTIAL EVEN THOUGH IT CAN NEVER HAVE HOUSES BUILT ON IT.
SO THAT'S WHY SOMEBODY ELSE CAN HAVE C3 AND THIS PROPERTY CAN'T.
YEAH, THERE MAY BE EXISTING C3.
IT'S RIGHT ACROSS THE STREET CADDY CORNER.
WHICH I, BUT THAT MAY HAVE BEEN, UH, EXISTING C OR GRANDFATHERED.
'CAUSE I DON'T THINK C3 IS ALLOWED IN GENERAL URBAN TIER.
BUT SO THAT'S, THAT'S KIND OF THE END GOLDEN.
BUT THAT'S WHY THE IMPASSE WE'RE, WE'RE IN THAT SITUATION.
UH, I'LL HEAR WHAT, UH, OTHER COMMISSIONERS HAVE TO SAY.
WELL, I GUESS I'M KIND OF WONDERING IF THERE ISN'T A BUSINESS SOLUTION FOR YOU, IF YOU COULD DO ALL OF THIS UNDER ONE BUSINESS UMBRELLA, IS THERE NOT A WAY TO MAKE THAT HAPPEN FOR YOU? I WOULD BE THE LANDLORD.
I'M RENTING IT OUT TO A FRANCHISE.
SO IT'S ME ASKING THEM TO CONDUCT THEIR BUSINESS DIFFERENTLY AND THEY WON'T DO IT BECAUSE THEY HAVE TO RES THEY HAVE TO ANSWER TO THE MANUFACTURER.
SO THEY HAVE A SERVICE DEPARTMENT AND THEY HAVE A NEW CAR SALES DEPARTMENT.
SO IF YOU TAKE YOUR VEHICLE TO GET A SERVICE, YOU'LL GET A SURVEY FROM THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT, YOU'LL GET A SEPARATE ONE FROM THE ACTUAL SALES.
SO IT'S TWO SEPARATE ENTITIES AND THEY HAVE TO KEEP IT SEPARATE.
QUESTION TO THE STAFF AND JUST BEAR WITH ME.
UH, WHAT I SEE THAT HE HAS TO RUN TWO DIFFERENT ENTITIES OVER THE SAME PLAT AND THAT'S WHAT THE ISSUE IS, CORRECT? THAT IS CORRECT.
IF HE WOULD WALK IN TODAY ASKING TO SPLIT THAT PIECE OF PLAT INTO TWO OF THEM, HE WOULD RUN ONE BUSINESS ON ONE SIDE, RUN THE OTHER BUSINESS ON THE OTHER SIDE.
HE COULD POTENTIALLY REZONE ONE SECTION FOR ONE CONDITIONAL USE AND THEN THE OTHER SECTION FOR ANOTHER CONDITIONAL USE.
BUT WE WOULD NEED FIELD NOTES, UM, INFORMATION TO SPLIT THEM, SPLIT THE PROPERTY UP.
AND HE WOULD HAVE TO BE DEFINITIVE ON WHERE, YOU KNOW, HE WOULD HAVE TO DECIDE ON WHAT AREA THIS BUSINESS WOULD GO AND WHAT AREA THAT BUSINESS WOULD GO.
SO, BUT THIS IS NOW TWO DIFFERENT, TWO DIFFERENT PLATS.
HE COULD, HE COULD STRUCTURE THEM DIFFERENTLY.
WELL, IT WOULDN'T GO INTO PLATTING FROM A ZONING PERSPECTIVE, BUT AGAIN, HE WOULD HAVE TO DESIGNATE WHAT AREA WOULD BE DESIGNATE WHAT USE LIKE DESIGNATE WHAT USE FOR WHAT AREA.
HE COULDN'T DO, THAT'S EXACTLY MM-HMM.
SO IT'S GONNA STAY THAT FOR, FOR AS LONG AS THAT, UH, PLAT IS CORRECT.
WELL, AS LONG AS THE ZONING IS IN PLACE.
IF IT WAS APPROVED SET, IT DOESN'T GIVE YOU A FLEXIBLE OPTION.
BUT, UH, I GUESS IF, IF IT'S DOABLE, I CAN SAVE HIM THE TIME AND I WILL JUST APPROVE THIS CASE BASED ON WHAT HIS REQUEST, BECAUSE THIS IS ANOTHER WAY OF DOING IT.
IT'S JUST A LONGER, LONGER WAY AROUND IT, BUT CORRECT.
UM, ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION BY THE COMMISSION? JUST A QUESTION.
UH, IF WE WERE, IF YOU WERE TO GIVE MORE TIME, I MEAN, COULD YOU DISCUSS THAT WITH STAFF, THE OPTION THAT WE TALKED ABOUT OR IT WAS DISCUSSED RELATED TO LOOKING AT THE MEETS AND BOUNDS SUBSCRIPTION AND, AND MAYBE COMING UP WITH ANOTHER SOLUTION THAT WAY WE COULD CONTINUE IN, IN REGARDS TO SPLITTING THE, THE PLAT? CORRECT.
WOULD YOU BE OPEN TO THAT OR WOULD YOU UH, I'M ALREADY SPENT A LOT OF MONEY ON REPLANTING BECAUSE WHEN I PURCHASED THIS PROPERTY, THE CHURCHES THAT'S IN
[01:00:01]
FRONT OF IT WAS NEVER SUB PLATTERED.SO I'VE ALREADY SPENT A SUBSTANTIAL AMOUNT ON THE PLAT OKAY.
I CHAIR, IF YOU MIND, UM, I, I JUST WANTED TO ADD THAT THE RESOLUTION FOR YOU MOVING FORWARD WOULD, WOULD JUST TO BE A, TO DELINEATE A SMALLER PORTION OF A LAND USE PLAN CHANGE.
UH, WHAT'S THE ACREAGE OF YOUR PROPERTY RIGHT NOW? IT'S ONE ACRE.
SO, I MEAN, I, I THINK WHAT THIS COMMISSION NEEDS TO DECIDE IS WHETHER OR NOT THEY WOULD BE WILLING TO ACCEPT A SMALLER LITTLE POST STAMP PIECE RIGHT OVER YOUR USE.
UH, OR JUST GIVE IT TO YOU FOR THIS ONE ACRE.
ANY FURTHER QUESTIONS? I'LL MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE THE APPLICANT'S REQUEST.
WE HAVE A MOTION FOR APPROVAL OF THE APPLICATION, SECOND BY COMMISSIONER SIEGEL WAS THE SECOND COMMISSIONER ORIAN STAFF, PLEASE DO A ROLL CALL.
COMMISSIONER PROFIT? NO CHAIR.
[Approval of Minutes ]
ITEM 45, WHICH IS THE MINUTES FROM THE LAST MEETING.IS THERE ANY QUESTIONS, EDITS, COMMENTS ON THE MINUTES? IF NOT, WE'LL ENTERTAIN A MOTION.
WE HAVE A MOTION BY COMMISSIONER PROFIT FOR APPROVAL.
A SECOND BY COMMISSIONER SIEGEL.
BUT BEFORE WE TACKLE THAT ONE, WE'RE GONNA TAKE A 10 MINUTE BREAK.
ALL RIGHT, EVERYBODY, IT IS 3 31 AND WE WILL RESUME OUR MEETING.
SO WE ARE GOING TO DO ITEM NUMBER 43.
NOW, UM, INSTEAD OF HAVING A STAFF PRESENTATION BEFORE PUBLIC COMMENT, WE'RE GOING TO DO STAFF PRESENTATION AFTER PUBLIC COMMENT.
THAT WAY, UH, IN THEIR PRESENTATION, THEY CAN ADDRESS THE QUESTIONS THAT WERE, UH, RECEIVED DURING THAT PUBLIC COMMENT PERIOD.
SO WE'LL START PUBLIC COMMENT AT THIS TIME.
WE HAVE, UH, A WHOLE LOT OF VOICEMAILS AND ABOUT 17 PEOPLE SIGNED UP TO SPEAK.
SO WE'LL START WITH THE FOLKS THAT ARE HERE.
UM, FIRST PERSON ON THE LIST IS LEONARDO AND I CANNOT READ THE LAST NAME.
NAME AND ADDRESS FOR THE RECORD.
UH, LEON LEONARDO MAR 4 9 3 1 DRISCOLL STREET.
UH, I JUST WANTED TO EXPRESS MY SUPPORT, UH, OF THE RECOMMENDATIONS THAT HAVE EMERGED FROM THE TOD TASK FORCE.
I BELIEVE THAT, UH, PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION AND DEVELOPMENT AROUND ITS CLIENTS AND HUBS ARE KEY FOR CITIES AND THEIR ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT AND THE QUALITY OF LIFE OF RESIDENTS WHO, UH, DON'T HAVE CARS OR SIMPLY WANT TO USE THEM LESS.
UH, AS SOMEONE WHO RIDES THE BUS MOST DAYS OUTTA THE WEEK, I AM EXCITED, UH, TO SEE TRANSIT ORIENTED DEVELOPMENT BEING DISCUSSED AND RECOMMENDED.
UH, THE MEASURES IN THE TOP STRIKE AN IMPORTANT BALANCE BETWEEN PROMOTING, UH, DENSITY AND DEVELOPMENT NEAR TRANSIT HUBS, WHILE STILL ADDRESSING COMMUNITY CONCERNS.
UH, THANK YOU FOR YOUR WORK IN CREATING A MORE PROSPEROUS, RESILIENT, EQUITABLE AND TRANSIT FRIENDLY SAN ANTONIO.
I'M GEMMA KENNEDY, 5 0 9 RIVER ROAD.
I'M THE PLANNING COMMITTEE CHAIR FOR THE RIVER ROAD NEIGHBORHOOD AND A MEMBER OF TIER ONE STEERING COMMITTEE.
THE PO TODD BOUNDARY RECOMMENDATIONS THAT HAVE EMERGED FROM THE TODD TASK FORCE AND THEIR APPROVAL REPRESENT THE ACCUMULATION OF A COLLABORATIVE PROCESS THAT TOOK PLACE OVER SEVERAL MONTHS.
I WOULD LIKE TO GO ON THE RECORD TO SUPPORT THE TODD BOUNDARY MAP PROCESS AS APPROVED BY THE TASK FORCE COMMITTEE, AS WELL AS THE PTAC RECOMMENDATION THAT INCLUDES ALL SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL ZONE PROPERTY, REGARDLESS.
[01:05:01]
LOTS SIZE FROM THE TODD BOUNDARIES.ALTHOUGH THE TASK FORCE DID AN EXCELLENT JOB TO ENSURE THE BOUNDARIES PROCESS WAS FAIR, THERE HAVE BEEN CRITICISM DUE TO UNDER A REPRESENTATION OF SOME AFFECTED NEIGHBORHOODS, WE HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO TAKE THESE
SECOND, I'D ALSO ASK THAT YOU CONSIDER ADDING LANGUAGE TO THE TOP POLICY CLEARLY.
NEXT IS, IT LOOKS LIKE THERESA GALVAN.
I'M GONNA PASS ON TO WHO'S THE PERSON YOU'RE PASSING THE TIME TO.
KELLY WALLACE, YOU CAN COME UP.
MUNICIPAL PLANNING SHOULD BRING ALL PARTIES TO THE TABLE.
HOWEVER, WHEN THE TODD TASK FORCE WAS CREATED, ALL NEIGHBORHOODS AND BUSINESSES NORTH OF FOUR 10 WERE INTENTIONALLY EXCLUDED FROM THE NA, FROM THE TABLE.
ALSO EXCLUDED WERE SMALL BUSINESSES, THE DISABILITY COMMUNITY, AND ENVIRONMENTAL GROUPS.
THEY WERE DENIED THE OPPORTUNITY TO FLAG CONCERNS REGARDING ADVERSE ECONOMIC IMPACTS, DANGEROUS TRAFFIC CONDITIONS, FLOODING AND AGING INFRASTRUCTURE THAT WILL TAKE DECADES TO ADDRESS, ESPECIALLY SINCE THE CITY IS NOW $18 BILLION IN DEBT.
ALSO EXCLUDED FROM THE DISCUSSION ARE THE CATASTROPHIC IMPACTS OF THE TXDOT FOUR 10 AND SAN PEDRO PROJECT, AS WELL AS THE CLOSURE OF THE MCCULLOUGH STREET BRIDGE THAT WILL RESULT IN PEDESTRIAN FATALITIES.
DESPITE THIS ALARMING LACK OF ENGAGEMENT, MANY RESIDENTS BECAME FEARFUL THEIR HOMES WOULD BE AT RISK.
AFTER THE CITY RELEASED THE NOTES FROM THE TOD DEVELOPER FOCUS GROUPS, THE DEVELOPERS MADE IT CLEAR THERE WILL BE DISPLACEMENT.
ADDITIONALLY, RESIDENTS AND SMALL BUSINESSES ARE FEARFUL.
GENTRIFICATION WILL LEAD TO ESCALATING PROPERTY TAXES LEADING TO ADDITIONAL DISPLACEMENT, STRONGER PROTECTIONS FOR SMALL BUSINESSES AND WORKING CLASS NEIGHBORHOODS.
SHOULD BE BAKED IN NOW, NOT PROMISED TO BE CONSIDERED AT A LATER DATE.
IF NOT AT RISK, STAKEHOLDERS WILL NOT BE ADEQUATELY PROTECTED FROM THE ADVERSE IMPACTS OF HIGH DENSITY DEVELOPMENT.
CAN YOU STATE YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS? I'M SORRY.
DID YOU STATE YOUR ADDRESS AT THE START? CAN YOU DO IT REAL QUICK? THAT RENEE GONZALEZ, SHE DIDN'T STATE HER NAME.
KELLY WALLS ADDRESS IS 91 0 3 CONTESSA DRIVE.
I'M GONNA GIVE MY TIME TO TONY GARCIA.
I LIVE AT 2 43 EAST SATCH AVENUE IN SAN ANTONIO, TEXAS.
I AM A MEMBER OF THE CITY'S TOD TASK FORCE AND MEMBER OF THE TIER ONE NEIGHBORHOOD COALITION STEERING COMMITTEE, AND CURRENTLY SERVE AS ITS CHAIR OF THE MONTE VISTA HISTORICAL ASSOCIATION ZONING AND CODE COMPLIANCE COMMITTEE.
THE MONTE VISTA HISTORICAL ASSOCIATION IS COMMITTED TO SUPPORTING TOD THAT WILL BRING NEW NEIGHBORS AND BUSINESSES TO OUR COMMUNITY.
BEYOND OUR SUPPORT, WE WANT TO ENSURE THAT ANY NEW TOD CODE RESPECTS MONTE VISTA'S BUILT ENVIRONMENT AND REFLECTS THE NEEDS AND CONCERNS OF ITS RESIDENTS.
SAN ANTONIO'S NEIGHBORHOODS, ESPECIALLY OLDER INNER CITY AREAS LIKE THE MONTE VISTA HISTORIC DISTRICT CURRENTLY HAVE SOME OF THE DENSEST POPULATION THAT INCLUDE MIDDLE HOUSING, DUPLEXES, TRIPLEXES, QUADPLEXES, AND MULTIFAMILY APARTMENTS.
THESE NEIGHBORHOODS HAVE THE MOST ESTABLISHED BUILT ENVIRONMENTS.
THESE LEGACY NEIGHBORHOODS DESERVE SPECIAL CONSIDERATION WHEN IMPLEMENTING OR UPDATING ZONING CODES, PARTICULARLY, PARTICULARLY THOSE AFFECTING THE RESIDENTIAL DISTRICTS.
WITH THIS IN MIND, WE SUPPORT THE PTACS RECOMMENDATION TO EXCLUDE ALL SINGLE FAMILY ZONE PROPERTIES WITH SINGLE FAMILY USE.
REGARDLESS OF SIZE FROM TOD ZONING PROPERTIES SHOULD
[01:10:01]
BE THOSE PROPERTIES LOCATED WITHIN THE CITY'S ORIGINAL 36 SQUARE MILES KNOWN AS A CRAG.THE CITY IS NOW ON BOARD IN SUPPORTING THIS REVISION TO THE CODE.
WE RESPECTFULLY ASK FOR YOUR SUPPORT ON THIS CODE REVISION AS WELL AS THOUGHTFUL CONSIDERATION OF OTHER RECOMMENDATIONS BEING EXPRESSED THROUGH PUBLIC COMMENTS.
GOOD AFTERNOON PLANNING COMMISSION AND PUBLIC PRESENT.
I, I LIVE AT 6 3 3 C STREET AND HERE SPEAK IN FAVOR OF ITEM 43.
I AM A 21-YEAR-OLD TEXAS NATIVE AND I LIVE ALONG THE FUTURE ROUTE OF THE VIA GREEN LINE.
I'M A REPRESENTATIVE FOR THREE DIFFERENT ORGANIZATIONS, LATINOS IN SAN ANTONIO, AFFILIATED WITH UTSA, SAN ANTONIO FOR REAL TRANSIT AND ACTIVATE SA I RESPECTFULLY ASK YOU TO SUPPORT ALL THE RECOMMENDATIONS THAT HAVE EMERGED FROM THE TOD TASK FORCE.
THESE MEASURES PROMOTE DENSITY AND DEVELOPMENT NEAR ALL IMPORTANT TRANSIT HOPES, WHILE STILL ADDRESSING ALL CONCERNS RAISED DURING THE TASK FORCE PROCESS.
IN ADDITION TO THE MANY GREAT PROPOSALS WITHIN THE TRANSIT ORIENTED POLICY, I FULLY SUPPORT THE CITY STAFF AND TOD TASK FORCE PARKING RECOMMENDATIONS, ESPECIALLY OF ZERO VEHICLE PARKING REQUIREMENTS AND TOD MX AND T-O-D-H-I DISTRICTS AND A 50% REDUCTION IN PARKING REQUIREMENTS ALONG THE IN THE T-O-D-T-R DISTRICT.
IMPLEMENTING TRANSIT ORIENTED DEVELOPMENT WILL SIGNIFICANTLY REDUCE CONGESTION AND TRAFFIC BY FIRST DECREASING CAR DEPENDENCY.
SECOND, INCREASING ROAD EFFICIENCY BY TAKING CARS OFF THE ROAD AND THIRD, REDUCING PARKING DEMAND.
I WANNA THANK YOU FOR YOUR WORK IN CREATING A MORE WALKABLE, EQUITABLE, SAFE AND PEOPLE FRIENDLY SAN ANTONIO.
TYLER BREWER ON ONCE ON TWICE.
I'M THE PRESIDENT OF THE GREATER HARMONY HILLS NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATION.
YOU RECENTLY HAD APPROVED A PLAN FOR THE GREATER VICINITY AIRPORT PLAN.
THAT PLAN INVOLVED GREATER HARMONY HILLS AND SEVERAL OTHER NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATIONS AS WELL AS STAFF AND ARCHITECTS AND WHOEVER DOES PLANNING.
BUT YOU AGREED TO A PLAN THAT HAD BEEN LOOKED AT FOR OVER A YEAR AND A HALF THAT WOULD MAKE DIFFERENT CHANGES OVER THE VIEW OF HOW THE AIRPORT VICINITY AREA THIS PLAN DOESN'T HAVE THAT THIS PLAN DID NOT GET AN OUT A YEAR AND A HALF'S REVIEW.
THIS PLAN DID NOT GET A LOT OF THE STAKEHOLDERS INVOLVED.
IT WAS A LOT OF INFORMATION FROM CITY STAFF THAT WAS TELLING US WHAT THEY PLAN TO DO TO TELL YOU TO VOTE TODAY.
SO I THINK THIS PLAN HAS GONE WAY TOO FAST WITH FAR TOO LITTLE LISTENING OF WHO IS INVOLVED, THE AMOUNT OF SWEEPING CHANGES DEMOGRAPHICALLY, LIFESTYLE ECONOMICALLY TO THOSE WHO ALREADY HAVE INVESTMENTS CALLED SINGLE FAMILY HOMES.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION.
I WISH TO YIELD MY TIME TO RAY MORALES.
MY NAME IS RAY MORALES, RESIDENT OF DISTRICT 10, MEMBER OF THE HISTORIC WEST SIDE RESIDENCE ASSOCIATION BOARD MEMBER OF THE ESPERANZA COMMUNITY LAND TRUST AND THE TIER ONE NEIGHBORHOOD STEERING COMMITTEE.
UH, MY ADDRESS IS 2 0 3 MEDFORD DRIVE.
I PARTICIPATED IN THE LAST UDC AMENDMENT CYCLE IN OUR GROUPS WE'RE SUCCESSFUL IN NINE OF 13 AMENDMENTS WE SUBMITTED, AND MOST RECENTLY, I ALSO SERVED ON A TOD TASK FORCE FOR TOD.
TO BE SUCCESSFUL, SUCCESSFULLY IMPLEMENTED IT, IT MUST HAVE BENEFITS THAT ACCRUED NOT ONLY TO TARGETED NEIGHBORHOODS, BUT ALSO TO THE CITY AS A WHOLE.
IN ADDITION TO REDUCING THE RELIANCE ON THE AUTOMOBILE BY PRO PROVIDING FASTER AND BETTER TRANSIT SERVICE.
LET ME FIRST STATE THAT THERE ARE MANY BENEFICIAL ASPECTS OF THE PROPOSAL.
HOWEVER, AS A MEMBER OF THE TOD TASK FORCE, I DO NOT THINK TODD IS READY TO MOVE, UH, TO CONSIDERATION BY CITY COUNCIL UNTIL ADMISSIONS AND INCONSISTENCIES ARE WORKED OUT.
THE PROCESS HAS BEEN RUSHED, NOT TRANSPARENT, AND THERE HAS NOT BEEN ENOUGH MEANINGFUL PUBLIC INPUT AND PARTICIPATION EVIDENCE IS THE LAST D ONE COMMI COMMUNITY MEETING ON NOVEMBER 7TH AND OTHER TOD COMMUNITY MEETINGS THAT, THAT I'VE ATTENDED.
DO WE EVEN KNOW WHAT WE ARE TALKING ABOUT WHEN THE DEFINITION OF A RT IS SO BROAD PER APPENDIX A HOW DO WE ADDRESS THE INCONSISTENT NOTIFICATION PROCESS REGARDING STAKEHOLDERS? AND WHILE TOD IS NOT A REZONING PROCESS, OUR EXPERIENCE IS THAT STAFF AUTOMATICALLY RECOMMENDS APPROVAL.
[01:15:01]
EXTENSIVE WORK ON TOD IS NOT ALL NEGATIVE.I SUPPORT THE CUSTOMIZED MAPS AND AS RECOMMENDED BY THE TOD TASK FORCE.
HOWEVER, THERE IS NOT A WELL-DEFINED PROCESS OF ADOPTION OF OTHER CORRIDORS ALONG FUTURE A RT LINES.
WHAT IS THE OPT-OUT PROCESS? WHY WERE SOME NEIGHBORHOODS ON THE GREEN LINE OMITTED FROM THE TASK FORCE DISCUSSION? I SUPPORT THE 50% REDUCTION OF PARKING REQUIREMENTS IN THE T-O-D-T-R AND REQUEST THE T-O-D-M-X REQUIRE A MINIMUM OF 50% INSTEAD OF NO PARKING REQUIREMENTS AND THAT THE CITY PROACTIVELY INITIATE A RESIDENTIAL PARKING PRO PROGRAM.
I ALSO WANTED TO EXPRESS CHALLENGES FROM A WEST SIDE PERSPECTIVE AND UPCOMING SILVER LINE CHALLENGES IS NOT ADDRESSED ON THE TOD ARE EQUITY DISPLACEMENT, NOT ENOUGH AFFORDABLE HOUSING DESPITE EFFORTS BY THE RBSC AND ITS TOOLKITS.
OUR EXPERIENCE HAS BEEN THAT THERE IS A LOT OF TALK REGARDING INCREASED AFFORDABLE HOUSING, BUT THE POLICY RESULTS SPEAK OTHERWISE AND THE MAJORITY OF WHAT GETS BUILT IS MARKET RATE.
UH, RAY CAN'T REALLY MAKE OUT THE LAST NAME IS A CARDENAS.
GONNA SAY YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS.
START
I FEEL LIKE I DON'T HAVE A VOICE, SO I'M PREFERRED TO COMMUNICATE THROUGH ANOTHER MEDIUM AS A FORM OF PROTEST.
I'M EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTED THAT OUR NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATION DID NOT HAVE EQUAL, UH, RESPECTED VOICE OR, UM, EXPRESSED CONCERNS, UH, A WAY TO EXPRESS HER CONCERNS.
THE EXCUSE THAT CAT HERNANDEZ GAVE ME SEEMED TO TO BE REASONABLE.
AS I STARTED TO DO RESEARCH, I DISCOVERED THAT BECAUSE THE PROPOSED, UH, TOD BOUNDARY WAS ACROSS THE STREET FROM MY NEIGHBORHOOD, WE DIDN'T NEED TO BE INVOLVED.
I'M WONDERING IF THAT WAS THE SAME FOR OTHER NEIGHBORHOODS LIKE MONTE VISTA, ALTA VISTA, BEACON HILL.
THAT'S SOMETHING I'M HAVE TO DO RESEARCH INTO.
UH, I'VE BEEN LEARNING MORE ABOUT THIS STUFF AND IT JUST DOESN'T SEEM RIGHT IN MY HEART.
ALL THAT I CAN SAY IS THAT MY NEIGHBORHOOD IS GOING, UH, GOING TO SUFFER UNINTENDED CONSEQUENCES OF TOD'S POOR PLANNING.
THE CITY OF SAN ANTONIO CONTINUES TO NEGLECT THE AGING AND FAILING INFRASTRUCTURE.
THE, UH, TRANSPORTATION DIRECTOR FAILED TO THANK YOU, DREA GARZA.
UH, MY ADDRESS IS, UH, 4 3 0 FOR DRIVE.
I SERVE AS THE PRESIDENT OF THE MONTICELLO PARK NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATION IN DISTRICT SEVEN.
I SERVED AS AN ALTERNATE MEMBER OF THE TODD TASK FORCE AND ON THE TODD SUBCOMMITTEE THAT DEVELOPED THE CUSTOMIZED MAPS.
THE DEVELOPMENT BEING PROMOTED BY TODD POLICY HAS THE POTENTIAL TO EXACERBATE ECONOMIC DISPARITIES WITH RESPECT TO HOUSING, BUT THE TRANSIT ORIENTED POLICY FRAMEWORK IDENTIFIES WAYS TO MITIGATE THESE OUTCOMES THROUGH AFFORDABLE HOUSING INITIATIVES.
WE NEED TO SUPPORT THE CREATION OF AFFORDABLE HOUSING AND PRESERVE THE HOUSING THAT ALREADY EXISTS.
FOR MANY, IT HAS TAKEN GENERATIONS TO FIND HOUSING STABILITY AS HOMEOWNERS OR RENTERS.
LET'S NOT TAKE THAT AWAY FROM HARDWORKING FAMILIES.
LET'S WELCOME HOUSING OPTIONS THAT MEET THE NEEDS OF OUR RESIDENTS AND COLLABORATE ON WAYS THAT DESIGN AND LAND USE REMAIN RESPECTFUL TO THE SPIRIT OF OUR BUILT COMMUNITIES.
VIBRANT, SUSTAINABLE AND INCLUSIVE COMMUNITIES CANNOT EXIST WITHOUT EQUITABLE HOUSING ACCESS.
AND I WISH TO EXPRESS SUPPORT FOR THE TOP FRAMEWORK OBJECTIVES, WHICH LIMIT DISPLACEMENT AND ALLOW AFFORDABLE HOUSING TO COME TO FRUITION ALONG THE TOP CORRIDORS.
THANK YOU FOR THE OPPORTUNITY TO SPEAK.
MY NAME IS BIANCA MALDONADO, RESIDE AT 4 57 CLUB DRIVE.
I ALSO SERVED ON THE SUBCOMMITTEE TASK FORCE FOR THE TOD POLICY, AND I'M HERE TO SPEAK TO YOU ABOUT TWO PARTICULAR ELEMENTS.
NUMBER ONE, HOW IMPORTANT IT IS FOR US TO ADJUST.
THERE NEEDS TO BE A CHANGE THAT YOU RECOMMEND FOR THE MIX USE, UH, TOD DISTRICT.
THERE NEEDS TO BE AT LEAST A 50% REDUCTION IN THE PARKING REQUIREMENT, NOT A COMPLETE ELIMINATION.
THINK ABOUT THE EXISTING CONDITIONS OF THE URBAN CORE.
WE HAVE SINGLE FAMILY HOMES THAT DON'T HAVE OFF STREET PARKING REQUIREMENTS.
WE HAVE EXISTING PARKING ISSUES IN SOUTHTOWN THAT ARE NOT ADDRESSED WITH THE RESIDENTIAL PARKING PERMIT PROGRAM THAT EXISTS TODAY.
THINK ABOUT THE EXISTING PROPERTIES
[01:20:01]
THAT HAVE ALREADY BEEN ZONED IDZ, WHICH IS A TOD FRIENDLY, UH, PARKING, UH, ZONING CLASSIFICATION WITHIN THE CITY.YOU WOULD EXACERBATE EXISTING SITUATIONS THAT COULD POTENTIALLY JEOPARDIZE LIFE SAFETY ACCESSIBILITY IN OUR URBAN COURSE STREETS THAT ARE VERY NARROW.
ALSO, AFFORDABLE HOUSING IS STILL GONNA REQUIRE 1.5 PARKING UNITS PER UNIT IF YOU USE THE QUALIFIED ALLOCATION PLAN AT THE STATE.
I'D ALSO LIKE TO, UH, STATE THE CREATION, THE PROCESS OF THE MAPS THAT I SUPPORT, THAT IT WASN'T FOLLOWED.
ONE IS I THINK THAT TWO B STAKEHOLDER PARTICIPATION HAS SOFT LANGUAGE, INCLUDING LANGUAGE LIKE SHOULD INVOLVE AND AN UNDEFINED PUBLIC INPUT PROCESS REGARDING PUBLIC PARTICIPATION WHEN DEVELOPING MAPS, ESPECIALLY WHEN THESE PLAN CHANGES, POTENTIALLY EASE THE ABILITY FOR A CITY ALIGNED REZONINGS WITH THE COMMUNITIES THAT MAY NOT BE AWARE.
I SUGGEST LANGUAGE SIMILAR THAT WE'VE USED WHERE CSA UH, STATES THINGS LIKE SHELL NOTIFY 200 FOOT BOUNDARY AND REGISTERED NEIGHBORHOODS AND ORGANIZATIONS FOR PLANNING, UH, COMMISSION PUBLIC INPUT PROCESS.
AND TWO, THERE ARE 40 PLUS INCONSISTENCIES IN THE PROPOSED, UH, USE MATRIX, UM, WHEN COMPARED SIDE BY SIDE WITH THE EXISTING RESIDENTIAL AND NON-RESIDENTIAL USE MATRICES.
UH, UH, SOMETHING THAT'S NOT PERMITTED IN A MORE INTENSE ZONING DISTRICT IS PERMITTED WITHIN A LESS INTENSE TOD DISTRICT.
AND SO, UM, SO THOSE CALLED OUT IN THE YELLOW.
I KIND OF WENT THROUGH AND KIND OF IDENTIFIED THOSE.
UM, AND SO I DON'T, I'M NOT AWARE THAT PUBLIC REVIEW OCCURRED FOR THESE TYPES OF THIS WITH THIS TYPE OF ANALYSIS DURING THE TOD DEVELOPMENT.
AND, UM, I THINK THOSE YELLOWS WOULD REQUIRE, SHOULD REQUIRE, UM, FURTHER REVIEW.
SWITCH TO THE YEAH, WE GOT IT.
DO YOU HAVE ANYTHING YOU WANNA PUT ON THE CAMERA? I WANT HIM, EVERYONE TO SEE IT BEFORE I SPEAK.
CAN YOU PUT THIS ON YOUR AUDIO VISUAL? YES, SIR.
I LIVE AT 9 0 1 WEST MULBERRY.
TODAY YOU'RE BEING ASKED TO PUT LIPSTICK ON A PIG.
YOU NEED TO ELIMINATE THE PIG ENTIRELY UNDERSTAND.
YOU SEE THAT MASSIVE SPIDER ON THAT, THAT DISPLAY THERE, WHAT I CALL AN OCTOPUS, UH, VIA SLIPPED UP.
THEY ACCIDENTALLY SHOWED US WHAT THEIR REAL PLAN IS.
A MAJOR LAND GRAB, A MAJOR POWER GRAB.
DID YOU SEE LAST WEEK'S KSAT TV NEWS REPORT ABOUT THE TOWN HALL THAT, UH, THAT, UH, VIA SPONSORED OVER AT THE LOCAL CHURCH ON SAN PEDRO NEAR OBLATE.
IT WAS NEAR PANDEMONIUM PEOPLE THERE, NEARLY EVERYONE THERE SAID THEY DID NOT WANT THIS THING.
THEY KNOW THE PROBLEMS THAT IT'S GOING TO CAUSE.
THEY, THEY KNOW THE UNFORESEEN TRAFFIC JAMS RESULTING FROM THE, THE NEWLY ESTABLISHED BUS LANES.
THEY KNOW THE PARKING HEADACHES RESULTING FROM THE, THE REDUCED PARKING REQUIREMENTS, BUT MOSTLY IT'S VIAS DECEPTIONS.
IT SAYS THERE THERE WON'T BE ANY REZONING THAT THEY'RE JUST, IT'S JUST A TEMPLATE.
CARRIE ADAMS. CARRIE ADAMS? NO.
DO YOU HAVE HER READERS? READERS? YEAH.
UM, CARRIE ADAMS, I'M AT 1 6 7 WEST MARIE POSA.
I LIVE IN ALMOST PARK TERRACE.
UM, I HAVE JUST A BLANKET STATEMENT FROM THE NEIGHBORHOOD.

[01:25:01]
OF ME AND MY NEIGHBOR TALKING TO PEOPLE IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD.I DID NOT COME ACROSS ONE PERSON THAT WAS FOR THE TOD UM, RECLASSIFICATION.
I MEAN, WHILE WE RECOGNIZED THE NEED FOR ADDITIONAL TRANSPORTATION IN SAN ANTONIO, WE FEEL THIS TOD DESIGNATION IS JUST BEING SHOVED DOWN OUR THROAT.
WE DO NOT WANNA SEE HIGH DENSITY HOUSING AT THE END OF OUR NEIGHBORHOOD STREETS.
WE NEED TO PRESERVE THE LOOK OF OUR NEIGHBORHOODS AND WE NEED PROTECTIONS FOR WHAT IS GONNA BE BUILT THERE.
WE WERE NOT CONSIDERED IN ANY OF THIS PROCESS AND WE'RE P****D.
ALRIGHT, NOW WE WILL MOVE ON TO VOICEMAILS.

I'M ALSO THE VICE PRESIDENT OF ITS NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATION.
I'M SUBMITTING PUBLIC COMMENTS FOR THE PLANNING COMMISSION RECORD REGARDING ITEM NUMBER 43, WHICH IS THE TOD PROPOSAL.
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 OF ITS FOUR SIDES, IT LITERALLY SURROUNDS US.
IT'S WORTH NOTING THAT OUR NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATION WAS COMPLETELY LEFT IN THE DARK OF THE DEVELOPMENT, UH, OF THE MAP BOUNDARIES.
NOW, FAIRNESS WOULD'VE DICTATED THAT THE MOMENT CITY LEADERS REALIZED THAT THE VAST MAJORITY OF THE AFFORDABLE HOUSING BEING SOUGHT 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 NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATIONS AFFECTED IN THIS AREA AND NEITHER WAS PROPERLY ENGAGED.

THE APPLICABILITY SECTION OF THIS PROPOSED LANGUAGE DESCRIBES THE INTENT TO ESTABLISH TO OD ZONING BOUNDARIES THAT PREVENT ENCROACHMENT INTO THE MIDDLE OF AN ESTABLISHED RESIDENTIAL BLOCK FACE.
HOWEVER, PAGE FOUR OF THE DRAFT MAPS ATTACHED TO THIS AGENDA ITEM STILL SHOW THE O2 PARCELS LOCATED ON WEST RIDGEWOOD COURT WITHIN THE TOD BOUNDARY.
THESE ARE ESTABLISHED SINGLE FAMILY HOMES AND INCLUSION OF THESE O2 PARCELS WITHIN THE TOD DIRECTLY ENCROACHES ON MY ESTABLISHED RESIDENTIAL BLOCK FACE.

INSTEAD OF PROMOTING DENSITY AND DEVELOPMENT LIKE THE ACTIVATE ESSAY, WRITTEN STATEMENT OF SUPPORT YOU HAVE HEARD TODAY, THE CITY SHOULD BE FOCUSED ON GATHERING AND PROMOTING THE IDEAS OF THE COMMUNITY BUS RIDERS AND BUSINESSES THAT ARE ALREADY THERE.
THIS ENTIRE PLAN IS CATERING TO THE IMPORTING OF NEW RESIDENTS AND BUSINESSES, NOT OUR CURRENT COMMUNITIES WHO HAVE BEEN THERE FOR DECADES AND EVEN CENTURIES.
ADDITIONALLY, I DO NOT SUPPORT THE PARKING RECOMMENDATIONS BECAUSE WHEN PEOPLE INEVITABLY DO NOT RIDE THE BUS TO PATRONIZE THESE DEVELOPMENTS, THEY WILL THEN PARK IN OUR NEIGHBORHOODS AND CAUSE FURTHER NUISANCE.

[03:20:03]
THERE.SO I'M KAT HERNANDEZ, UH, DIRECTOR FOR OUR CITIES TRANSPORTATION DEPARTMENT, AND, UH, WHAT I'M GONNA PRESENT TO YOU IS THE PROPOSED AMENDMENTS TO THE EXISTING, UH, TOD ZONING DISTRICT.
SO, UH, FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO MAY NOT BE AWARE, VIA IS MOVING FORWARD WITH AN ADVANCED RAPID TRANSIT LINE.
UM, AND THE FIRST, UM, MAJOR PROJECT IS THE GREEN LINE THAT RUNS ALONG ST.
SAN PEDRO WITH THE CONSTRUCTION LIMITS FROM AIRPORT TO STEVE'S.
THE PROJECT INCLUDES CENTER RUNNING LANES IN CERTAIN LOCATIONS, AS YOU SEE ON THIS SLIDE, AS WELL AS BUSINESS ACCESS LANES SIMILAR TO WHAT YOU SEE IN THE DOWNTOWN AREA.
SO THE PROJECT ALLOWS THE CITY TO ALIGN THE WORK THAT WE DO TO PLAN THE CITY AND FOCUS INVESTMENTS THAT BRING ABOUT GOOD, UH, CHANGE AROUND TRANSIT.
TRANSIT ORIENTED DEVELOPMENT IS AN OPPORTUNITY TO ADDRESS RISING COSTS RELATED TO THE TRANSPORTATION AND HOUSING BY CREATING DEVELOPMENT PATTERNS THAT ENCOURAGE DENSITY AND APPROVED ACCESS TO A RANGE OF USES, SUCH AS RE 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.
SO THE PROCESS STARTED LATE LAST YEAR, UH, 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.
OUR REMOVING BARRIERS SUBCOMMITTEE UNDER THE HOUSING COMMISSION CONTINUES THEIR EFFORTS TO IMPLEMENT THE SHIP, THE STRATEGIC HOUSING IMPLEMENTATION PLAN, WITH A FOCUS TO PROVIDE RECOMMENDATIONS WITHIN THE POLICY FRAMEWORK THAT ADDRESS HOUSING AFFORDABILITY AND ANTI DISPLACEMENT.
AS THIS WAS A COMMON THEME WE HEARD DURING OUR EARLY ENGAGEMENT EFFORTS, AND AS WELL AS WHAT YOU'VE HEARD THROUGH THE PHONE CALLS AND VOICEMAILS.
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 THE TASK FORCE TO MAKE RECOMMENDATIONS TO UPDATE THE EXISTING TOD ZONING DISTRICT.
ALL OF THIS WORK ULTIMATELY CULMINATES WITH THE DEVELOPMENT OF A TRANSIT ORIENTED POLICY FRAMEWORK.
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'S ONLY BEEN USED THREE TIMES.
THE CURRENT TOD CODE IS CURRENTLY ALLOWED ANYWHERE WITHIN A HALF MILE OF A BUS STOP.
THIS MEANS THAT THERE ARE NO GUARDRAILS LIMITING IT.
IT ALSO HAS, 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 YOUR BUS LINE.
BUT THIS PROCESS IS ONLY TO UPDATE THE CODE, SO IT ALLOWS 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 CODE, UH, THE CURRENT CODE ALLOWS US THE OPPORTUNITY TO ENSURE THAT A 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 CENTRO AND THE MPO 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 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 THE CORE OF OUR 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 AMENDMENTS TO THE CODE THAT I'LL GO OVER IN THE NEXT FEW SLIDES INCLUDE THE CREATION OF THREE CATEGORIES OF TOD DISTRICTS.
THE TRANSITION DISTRICT IS RESERVED FOR RESIDENTIAL USES AT A MAXIMUM OF FIVE UNITS.
[03:25:01]
MIX OF HOUSING TYPES TO ADDRESS OUR NEED FOR ADDITIONAL HOUSING, AND THIS DISTRICT SERVES AS A TRANSITION FOR 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 DISTRICTS ALLOW FOR A MIX OF LIGHT INDUSTRIAL AND OTHER USES WITHIN TWO, 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, WHICH IS A THEME THAT YOU'VE HEARD THROUGHOUT.
UH, THOSE PHONE, THOSE VOICEMAILS, THOSE CODE NOW INCORPORATES STANDARDS THAT CURRENTLY EXIST IN OUR UDC, INCLUDING HEIGHT RESTRICTIONS THAT ENSURE HEIGHT COMPATIBILITY WITH THE BUDDING SINGLE FAMILY HOMES.
AS SHOWN ON THE FIRST GRAPHIC, THE TASK FORCE ALSO RECOMMENDED UNIQUE STANDARDS THAT INCLUDE CHARACTERISTICS TO INCLUDE PEDESTRIAN ENVIRONMENTS, SUCH AS MINIMUM DISTANCE DISTANCES BETWEEN DOORS ALONG THE CORRIDOR AND WINDOW REQUIREMENTS TO CREATE TRANSPARENCY INSTEAD OF LARGE AMOUNTS OF BLANK WALLS.
AS PREVIOUS AS 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 SHOWN IN ORANGE ON THE SLIDE IS ELIGIBLE TO REZONE TO THE CURRENT TOD ZONING.
DISTRICT TO D SHOULD BE SPECIFIC TO CORRIDORS THAT HAVE A HIGH CAPACITY TRANSIT COMPONENT, SO YOU CAN FOCUS THE DENSITY AND INTENSITY TO THOSE CORRIDORS WHERE APPROPRIATE.
THE SUBCOMMITTEE AND TASK FORCE TACKLE THIS AND RECOMMENDED A PROCESS THAT ALLOWS US TO CREATE THE GUARDRAILS FOR APPROPRIATE TOD APPLICABILITY.
THE ORANGE PROPERTIES REPRESENT OVER 300 SQUARE MILES.
THAT'S CURRENTLY ELIGIBLE TO REZONE TO TOD.
WHAT YOU SEE HERE IS HOW APPLICABILITY HAS BEEN NARROWED.
IT IS NOW APPLICABLE TO CERTAIN CORRIDORS THAT ARE IDENTIFIED AS ART CORRIDORS.
THIS REPRESENTS JUST A LITTLE OVER THREE SQUARE MILES.
AS YOU CAN SEE IN THIS ZOOMED IN VERSION OF THE MAP, WHAT YOU SAW IN THE PREVIOUS SLIDE, THE APPLICABILITY OR ELIGIBILITY OF THE PROPERTIES IS ONLY LOCATED ON THE ADVANCED RAPID TRANSIT CORRIDORS.
THIS PUTS THE T TRANSIT IN TOD.
THE PROCESS THAT THE TASK FORCE AND SUBCOMMITTEE MEMBERS GOT TO GET TO THIS APPROACH STARTED WITH THE DRAFT CODE THAT RECOMMENDED A QUARTER MILE APPLICABILITY ALONG THE CORRIDOR, BUT THE DISCUSSION OF THE TASK FORCE INCREASED THAT VIEW.
SINCE WALKABILITY IS TYPICALLY ABOUT A HALF MILE, WHICH REPRESENTS ABOUT A 10 MINUTE WALK.
WHILE HALF A MILE APPLICABILITY FOR TOD IS APPROPRIATE IN SOME AREAS ALONG THE CORRIDOR, THERE ARE AREAS IN WHICH THAT WOULD DRIVE IT DIRECTLY INTO THE MIDDLE OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD.
SO THE APPROACH BECAME MORE OF A CUSTOMIZED APPROACH EXPANDING WHERE APPROPRIATE AND CONTRACTING WHERE WE NEED IT TO BE SENSITIVE.
AND HERE'S WHAT'S RECOMMENDED IN THE CODE.
IT'S 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 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 35, WHILE CONTRACTING AROUND ESTABLISHED NEIGHBORHOODS.
AS YOU MOVE NORTH, THE PROPOSED CODE STARTS WITH THE GREEN LINE, IN THIS CASE, THE MAP, UH, THE MAPS DECREASE THE CURRENT APPLICABILITY OF A HALF MILE FROM ANY BUS STOP, WHICH BASICALLY COVERS ALL PROPERTIES ALONG THIS CORRIDOR TO JUST THOSE PROPERTIES WITHIN THE PROPOSED BOUNDARY, ALLOWING US TO PROTECT THE NEIGHBORHOODS WITH THESE MAPS AS NEW CORRIDORS BECOME OUR 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 AND PROVIDE AN OPPORTUNITY FOR INPUT AND FEEDBACK.
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 ZONE PROPERTIES WITH SINGLE FAMILY USES OF FOUR UNITS OR MORE.
THIS EXCLUSION PROTECTS OUR ESTABLISHED RESIDENTIAL NEIGHBORHOODS IN OUR URBAN CORE.
ADDITIONALLY, FOR PROPERTIES THAT ARE 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.
SO TOD WILL BASICALLY TELL 'EM HOW TO USE IT ON THE INSIDE, BUT THE OVERLAY DISTRICTS WILL TELL THEM HOW IT'S DESIGNED ON
[03:30:01]
THE OUTSIDE.THE AVERAGE COST FOR INCORPORATING PARKING SPACES WITHIN A DEVELOPMENT CAN RANGE FROM ABOUT 2000 TO $10,000.
THE UDC INTRODUCED MINIMUM PARKING REQUIREMENTS IN 1965 WITH NO UPDATE OR OVERHAUL SINCE ITS ADOPTION.
PARKING MINIMUMS CREATE INEFFICIENT USE OF LAND, MAKING IT DIFFICULT TO DESIGN NEIGHBORHOODS WHERE IT'S EASY FOR PEOPLE TO WALK AND USE PUBLIC TRANSIT TO GET AROUND.
THIS CAN ALSO LEAD TO A FORM OF DEVELOPMENT CALLED URBAN SPRAWL, FOCUSING ON TRANSIT ORIENTED DEVELOPMENT 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 THE 60-YEAR-OLD CODE IS LIKE REQUIRING NEW CONSTRUCTION OF BUILDINGS TO COMPLY WITH THE 60-YEAR-OLD BUILDING CODE.
THERE HAVE BEEN MANY UPDATES AND CITIES NEED TO MAKE SURE THAT CODES ARE UPDATED TO REFLECT CURRENT TRENDS AND STANDARDS.
THE PROPOSED AMENDMENTS RECOMMEND A 50% REDUCTION FOR THE RES 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 UTILIZING NATIONAL STANDARDS SIMILAR TO WHAT OTHER CITIES ARE DOING.
IT IS IMPORTANT TO NOTE THAT THE PROPOSED PARKING IS ONLY APPLICABLE TO THE ZONING DISTRICT AND NOT THE ENTIRE CODE.
SINCE THIS PROCESS TO UPDATE THE CODE DOES NOT REZONE ANY PROPERTY, THE PUBLIC INPUT PROCESS FOR REZONING WILL ALLOW THE OPPORTUNITY FOR CONCERNS REGARDING PARKING TO BE ADDRESSED.
REMEMBER, THIS IS A CODE THAT WOULD ONLY BE UTILIZED ALONG AN ADVANCED RAPID TRANSIT CORRIDOR, WHICH TODAY DOES NOT EXIST.
LASTLY, THE PROPOSED REVISIONS INCLUDE REMOVING LANGUAGE IN ANOTHER CODE.
THE SIGN CODE RELATED TO A FRONT STEPBACK 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.
SOME OF THESE CORRIDORS HAVE MINIMUM FRONT BUILDING SETBACKS.
THE TECHNICAL WORKING GROUP'S RECOMMENDATIONS INCLUDE REMOVING THE SETBACK REQUIREMENT IN THESE URBAN CORRIDORS SO THAT THE SIGN CODE NOW JUST FOCUSES ON SIGNS.
EVENTUALLY, THE CODE WILL BE UPDATED FOR ALL THE CORRIDORS, BUT RIGHT NOW WE'RE JUST RECOMMENDING THE REMOVAL OF THAT CONFLICT FOR THE SAN PEDRO CORRIDOR ONLY FOR NOW SINCE THE BEGINNING OF OCTOBER WHEN BOTH THE PROPOSED REVISIONS AND DRAFT POLICY FRAMEWORK WERE DRAFTED.
AFTER ABOUT EIGHT MONTHS OF WORK FOR PUBLIC FEEDBACK AND INPUT, WE PRESENTED AT THE FOLLOWING COMMISSION.
SO WE HAVE PRESENTED IT ON OCTOBER 14TH TO THE PLANNING COMMISSION TECHNICAL ADVISORY COMMITTEE, AND I'LL GO OVER THAT RECOMMENDATION SHORTLY.
UH, WE ALSO BRIEFED THE CITY COUNCIL DURING A B SESSION BRIEFING.
UH, WE DID BRIEF YOU PREVIOUSLY, UM, ON, FOR ON OCTOBER 23RD.
AND WE ALSO BRIEFED OUR TASK FORCE REMOVING BARRIERS, SUBCOMMITTEE AND TECHNICAL WORKING GROUPS.
SO ALL THREE GROUPS WERE AWARE OF WHAT, UM, EACH OTHER WAS DOING.
UM, IN NOVEMBER, UH, WE ALREADY STARTED WITH THE ZONING COMMISSION BRIEFING.
WE WENT TO PLANNING AND COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT COMMITTEE FOR A BRIEFING AS WELL LAST WEEK AND JUST LAST NIGHT, YESTERDAY WE DID A, A BRIEFING TO THE VEAL BOARD.
UH, SO AS PART OF THE UPDATE TO THE CODE, THE PLANNING COMMISSION TECHNICAL ADVISORY COMMITTEE, WHICH IS RECOMMENDING TO THE PLANNING COMMISSION, CONSIDERED THE PROPOSED AMENDMENTS TO THE CODE AND RECOMMENDED APPROVAL WITH TWO POINTS.
ONE WAS THAT ALL SINGLE FAMILY ZONE LOTS WITH SINGLE FAMILY USES WITHIN THE CRAG, WHICH IS THE ORIGINAL 36 SQUARE MILES, ARE EXCLUDED FROM BEING ABLE TO BE ELIGIBLE TO APPLY FOR TOD ZONING.
SO THIS MEANS THAT NO MATTER THE SIZE, WHETHER IF IT'S A SINGLE FAMILY ZONE, LOT WITH A SINGLE FAMILY USE, COULD NOT REQUEST TO REZONE TO TOD, BUT THERE'S STILL OTHER OPTIONS IN THE CODE THAT THEY COULD RE REQUEST TO REZONE TO AND STAFF IS SUPPORTIVE.
THE OF THIS RECOMMENDATION UPON A PROPERTY BEING REZONED TO TODA RESIDENTIAL PERMIT PARKING PROGRAM BE EVALUATED FOR THE ABUTTING NEIGHBORHOOD WAS ANOTHER RECOMMENDATION FROM THE P TAC.
UM, AND WE DO HAVE STAFF AVAILABLE TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS AND PROVIDE BACKGROUND ON THE PROGRAM.
THERE WERE CONCERNS RELATED TO THE PROPOSED RECOMMENDATIONS TO THET OD ZONING DISTRICT THAT WERE BROUGHT UP DURING OUR, UH, BRIEFING TO THE COUNCIL DURING B SESSION.
PART OF THOSE RECOMMENDATIONS INCLUDE A WAIVER OF THE SECTION OF CODE THAT REQUIRES TRAFFIC ANALYSIS AND MITIGATION NEEDED.
SINCE MITIGATION IS ALREADY BEING DONE AS PART OF THE CONSTRUCTION VIA DOING WHAT THE TRANSIT LINE, IT DIDN'T MAKE MAKE SENSE TO REQUIRE A STUDY OR ANALYSIS THAT WOULD HAVE NO OUTCOME.
AND THE CAUSE FOR A STUDY ANALYSIS IMPACT HOUSING AFFORDABILITY WITHIN THE TTIA SECTION OF THE CODE, THERE IS A REQUIREMENT FOR TRAFFIC CIRCULATION STUDIES FOR SCHOOLS.
MANY NEIGHBORHOODS ARE CURRENTLY DEALING WITH THE TRAFFIC ISSUES CAUSED BY SCHOOLS, BOTH PUBLIC AND PRIVATE, AS WELL AS CHARTER SCHOOLS.
AND SOME OF THESE SCHOOLS HAVE
[03:35:01]
A ZONING THAT WAIVES THE TRAFFIC ANALYSIS SEC SECTION, THEREBY WAIVING A REQUIREMENT FOR A TRAFFIC CIRCULATION STUDY TO ADDRESS THIS.STAFF IS PROPOSING THAT THE, THAT THE SPECIFIC REQUIREMENT FOR CIRCULATION STUDY FOR SCHOOLS BE INCLUDED IN THE TOD CODE.
AND SO THAT IS PART OF, UH, OUR RECOMMENDED AMENDMENT TO THIS CODE BASED ON FEEDBACK RECEIVED AND ADDITIONAL REVIEW.
STAFF IS ALSO PROPOSING AMENDMENTS TO THE SECTIONS AS SHOWN ON THIS SLIDE.
THESE AMENDMENTS WERE ALSO PART OF THE PACKET AS WELL.
WE'RE MAKING SOME MINOR EDITS TO OUR RULES OF INTERPRETATION SO WE CAN MAKE SURE THAT WE CORRECT REFERENCES AND HAVE CLARIFYING LANGUAGE.
UH, WE ARE ALSO MAKING, UM, CORRECTIONS TO OUR PERMITTED USE TABLE, WHICH ARE MINOR EDITS TO CORRECT USES FOR HOUSING, MANUFACTURING USES, AMUSEMENT USES, RECREATION SCHOOLS AND SERVICE.
AND THEN WE HAVE SOME MINOR EDITS TO DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS RELATED TO THE CORRECT REFERENCES FOR DRY BOYS.
SO, JUST A QUICK UPDATE ON OUR ENGAGEMENT.
WE HOSTED TWO COMMUNITY MEETINGS SINCE THE B SESSION, ONE ON OCTOBER 22ND AT THE CENTRAL LIBRARY, AND ONE ON NOVEMBER 2ND AT WOODLAWN LAKE GYM.
WE ALSO DID FACEBOOK LIVE AND RECORDED THE PRESENTATION AND IT IS ON OUR ESSAY SPEAKUP SITE.
AND SO FAR WE'RE AT ABOUT 245 PLAYS.
SOME OF THE COMMENTS WE RECEIVED ARE DISPLAYED HERE ON THE SLIDE.
UH, THERE WAS CONCERN, AS I MENTIONED EARLIER, REGARDING DISPLACEMENT FOR FUTURE DEVELOPMENTS.
AND SO THOSE RECOMMENDATIONS BROUGHT FORWARD BY THE REMOVING BARRIERS COMMITTEE AS PART OF THAT POLICY FRAMEWORK.
UM, THERE WAS ALSO, UM, A, A LOT OF COMMENTS TO HAVE TREES, TREES AND MORE TREES, BECAUSE IF WE'RE CREATING WALKABILITY, WE WANNA BE SURE THAT IT, THAT IT'S SHADED AND MAKES IT A COMFORTABLE PEDESTRIAN EXPERIENCE.
UM, THERE WAS ALSO REQUESTS FROM OUR BIKE LANES, WHICH IS GREAT FOR OUR DEPARTMENT 'CAUSE WE'RE WORKING ON OUR BIKE NETWORK PLAN.
UM, WE ALSO, UH, ALSO ASKED FOR COMPATIBLE MIX OF USES IN RESIDENTIAL AREAS, AS WELL AS, UH, SUPPORT FOR LOCAL BUSINESSES, INCLUDING INCENTIVIZING DENSITY OF BUSINESSES TO TAKE CARE OF THE THOSE DAILY NEEDS.
THERE WAS ALSO A REQUEST FOR INCENTIVIZING AND PROTECTING, UM, HOMEOWNER, HOMEOWNERS SO THEY CAN STAY IN THEIR HOMES, UM, AS WELL AS PROMOTING MISSING MIDDLE HOUSING ALONG THE TRANSIT ORIENTED DEVELOPMENT.
AND AGAIN, UH, FOCUSING ON CREATING A MORE VIBRANT AND LIVABLE NEIGHBORHOOD.
SO OUR NEXT STEPS, OUR ENGAGEMENT EFFORTS CONTINUE OVER THE NEXT MONTH AND A HALF.
UM, SO WE HAVE, UH, SEVERAL MEETINGS THAT ARE, UH, THAT WE'LL HAVE NEXT WEEK, INCLUDING A BRIEFING TO THE BOARD OF ADJUSTMENT ZONING COMMISSION WILL CONSIDER THE RECOMMENDATIONS TO THE CODE AS WELL AS, UH, THE BOUNDARIES OF THE MAPS.
WE WILL ALSO BE PRESENTING TO HOUSING COMMISSION FOR CONSIDERATION OF THE POLICY FRAMEWORK, SO THEY CAN PROVIDE A RECOMMENDATION AS WELL.
AND THEN WE'LL BE PROVIDING A BRIEFING TO THE HDRC, UH, COMMISSION SO THEY'RE AWARE OF THE UPDATES TO THE TOD CODE.
AND ULTIMATELY, THIS LEADS TO A CITY COUNCIL CONSIDERATION IN DECEMBER.
UH, WITH THAT STAFF RECOMMENDS APPROVAL OF THE PROPOSED AMENDMENTS AND MOVING THE ITEM FORWARD THROUGH THE PROCESS AVAILABLE FOR ANY QUESTIONS.
THANK YOU, KA, GREAT PRESENTATION.
UM, AS WE'RE, UH, DELIBERATING THIS AS A COMMISSION, I DO, I KNOW IT'S BEEN SAID, BUT I JUST WANNA REITERATE TO EVERYBODY THAT, UM, PART OF OUR CONSIDERATION TODAY IS NOT THE MAPS.
WE'RE NOT CON, YOU KNOW, WE'RE NOT APPROVING ANY MAPS.
WE'RE NOT CONSIDERING THE APPROVAL OF ANY MAPS OR WHAT'S ON THE MAPS.
ALL WE'RE CONSIDERING IS THE APPROVAL OF THE CODE AMENDMENTS, WHICH, UM, ARE THE VEHICLE THAT WILL ALLOW THE MAPS TO BE GENERATED.
SO WE'RE NOT CONSIDERING APPROVING MAPS THAT YOU MAY OR MAY NOT HAVE SEEN YET.
JUST WANTED TO PUT THAT OUT THERE.
WELL, WE WILL START WITH COMMISSIONER QUESTIONS.
WE'LL START ON THE LEFT WITH COMMISSIONER LOPEZ, 'CAUSE I KNOW YOU ARE UNDER A TIME CRUNCH RIGHT NOW.
THANK YOU FOR THE PRESENTATION.
THIS IS, UM, IMPORTANT AND, AND, UM, EXCITING START TO CONTINUE DEVELOPMENT OF HIGHER DENSITY HERE IN TOWN.
I'VE GOT SOME QUESTIONS FOR YOU.
OKAY, SO I'M, I'M GOING THROUGH THE ORDINANCE AND UNDER STAKEHOLDER PARTICIPATION, I'M, I'M LOOKING ON SECTION, UH, WELL, PAGE TWO OF 26.
IF YOU, IF YOU'VE GOT THE PRINTOUT FROM THE MEETING TODAY, UH, THERE'S SOME IN, THERE'S SOME LANGUAGE IN THERE THAT USES, UH, THE WORD MAY AND THE WORD SHOULD, UH, SHOULD THOSE BE USING THE WORD SHALL OR OTHER, OTHER SORT OF LANGUAGE THAT WOULD MAKE IT MORE MANDATORY? SO THIS WAS DISCUSSED AT LENGTH DURING BOTH, UH, THE, THE TASK FORCE AS WELL AS AT THE PLANNING COMMISSION TECHNICAL ADVISORY COMMITTEE.
AND, UM, AUDREY CAN CHIME IN AS WELL.
UM, SO THERE IS SHALL, UM, IN WRITTEN INTO THAT WHERE THEY SHALL BE INVITED TO PARTICIPATE IN, IN THE, AND ASSIST WITH THE MAP DEVELOPMENT.
UH, WHEN, UM, TALKING ABOUT INVITING THE KEY STAKEHOLDERS, SHE GIVES, UH, THE PERCEPTION THAT IF YOU HAVE A LIST OF PEOPLE THAT ARE REQ, UH, THAT YOU
[03:40:01]
SHALL INVITE IN ORDER TO PARTICIPATE INTO THE MAP DEVELOPMENT, AND THAT INCLUDES, UM, NONPROFIT ORGANIZATIONS OR OTHER, UH, ORGANIZATIONS, IF THEY DON'T EXIST ALONG THAT ROUTE, THEN THE, THE PERCEPTION CAN BE THAT IT KIND OF NULLIFIES AND VOIDS THE PROCESS.SO THE WORD SHOULD IS USED TO MAKE SURE THAT YOU, AGAIN, CAST THE WIDE NET AND FOR THOSE THAT WANNA PARTICIPATE, CAN PARTICIPATE, BUT THE SHALL IS THEY SHALL ALL BE BE INVITED ONCE YOU CAST THAT WIDE NET.
UH, ON PAGE FOUR OF 26 ON TABLE 3 42, 0 2 DASH TWO, UM, SUBSECTION D, PEDESTRIAN ACCESS, UH, IT, THERE'S A REQUIREMENT ON HERE FOR 150 FEET ON STREET FRONTAGE FOR STREET FACING ENTRANCE SPACINGS.
AND IS, IS IT, ARE YOU SAYING THAT YOU CAN'T HAVE AN ENTRY DOOR INTO A BUSINESS LESS THAN EVERY 150 FEET? 'CAUSE IT LOOKS LIKE A LOT OF THESE PROPERTIES ARE NARROWER THAN THAT, OR THERE'S WIDTH REQUIREMENTS FAR LESS THAN THAT.
CAN YOU, CAN YOU, YOU KNOW, TALK ABOUT WHAT THAT REQUIREMENT IS? SURE.
THE 150 FEET IS ALONG THE SAN PEDRO, UH, CORRIDOR.
SO IT MAY, IT MEANS THIS IS THE MINIMUM, THE MAXIMUM LENGTH THAT YOU CAN GO BETWEEN DOOR TO DOOR.
UM, AND THEN THE 100 FOOT IS ON ALL OTHER STREETS, UM, OR BUILDINGS.
SO IF YOU HAVE A, A SIDE STREET, WELL, YOU ONLY COULD HAVE ONE DOOR BECAUSE YOU ONLY HAVE 50 FEET TO PLAY WITH.
BUT THE ONE 50 IS FROM DOOR TO DOOR.
SO ALONG SAN PEDRO, LIKE IF YOU HAVE A RETAIL DEVELOPMENT WITH MULTIPLE TENANT SUITES AND THEY'RE USUALLY LIKE 30 FEET WIDE, IS THAT GONNA CAUSE A VIOLATION OF THIS? NO.
IF THEY CAN ALWAYS HAVE MORE, IT'S JUST THAT YOU CAN'T GO MORE THAN 150 FEET WITHOUT ANOTHER DOOR.
UH, THE NEXT QUESTION IS, UM, YOU HAD MENTIONED THAT THE TOD IS A BASE DISTRICT.
SO IF SOMEBODY IS CURRENTLY ZONED, LET'S SAY C3 AND THERE'S A ZONING CHANGE TO GO TO TOD, THEY'RE NOT C3 IS NOWHERE IN THEIR DESCRIPTION ANYMORE.
SO THERE'S THREE LEVELS OF, OF ZONING DISTRICTS IN OUR CODE.
THERE'S THE TYPICAL BASE DISTRICTS, WHICH ARE YOUR CONVENTIONAL DISTRICTS, LIKE C TWO, C3, R SIX, R FIVE, R FOUR, UH, THERE'S OVERLAY DISTRICTS, UH, WHICH O OVERLAY ON TOP OF THE BASE.
AND THEN THE SPECIAL DISTRICTS ARE, UH, THE UNIQUE DISTRICTS.
THEY'RE SPECIAL BECAUSE THEY PULL IN BOTH COMPONENTS OF A BASE DISTRICT AS WELL AS AN OVERLAY WITH THOSE DESIGN STANDARDS.
SO THE SPECIAL REPLACES THE BASE, SO IT'S LIKE A NEW BASE, BUT IT'S, IT'S TECHNICALLY A SPECIAL DISTRICT IN OUR ZONING CODE.
AND ARE YOU, IS IT THE INTENT OF THE, OF, OF THE CITY TO, TO DO MASS ZONING, J MASS ZONING CHANGES OR DO 'EM ONE AT A TIME? NO.
SO THIS IS NOT A REZONING PROCESS.
THE, THE MAPS ARE TO DETER TO MAKE SURE THAT WE DETERMINE WHICH PROPERTIES ARE ELIGIBLE SHOULD THEY CHOOSE TO REZONE.
SO THERE IS NO CCR TO DO A, A REZONING PROCESS WITH THIS EFFORT.
AND THEN, UH, LASTLY WITH THE REDUCTION OR POTENTIAL REMOVABLE OF PARKING IN THE CODE, A LOT OF THESE ARE ON THOROUGHFARE.
LIKE, YOU KNOW, YOU TAKE SAN PEDRO PRETTY WIDE STREET.
IF YOU REMOVE SOME OF THE PARKING REQUIREMENTS, WHAT ARE, WHAT, HOW ARE Y'ALL ADDRESSING LIKE DELIVERIES OR, UM, UH, PEOPLE MOVING OR WHATEVER? 'CAUSE AREN'T YOU NOT ALLOWED TO PARK ON THE SIDE OF A THOROUGHFARE? LIKE, ISN'T THAT, YOU KNOW, YOU, THERE'S NO STREET PARKING ON A SUPER MAJOR STREET.
SO I WAS CONCERNED ABOUT, YOU KNOW, WHAT IF YOU HAVE A DEVELOPMENT THAT HAS VERY LITTLE PARKING OR AVAILABILITY, BUT THERE'S A HIGH DENSITY USE OF RESIDENCE, THERE'S, THERE'S ALSO A HIGH POTENTIAL OF, OF MOVING TRUCKS AND AMAZON DELIVERIES, FOOD DELIVERIES OR WHATEVER.
UM, IS THERE ANYTHING IN THE CODE TO POTENTIALLY ADDRESS THAT OR PROMOTE THE, THE, THE, UH, OR REQUIRE UNDER A CERTAIN DENSITY LEVEL OF A PLACE FOR DELIVERIES? SO, YES.
SO ACTUALLY THE CODE SAYS IF YOU'RE GOING TO PROVIDE PARKING OR IF YOU'RE GONNA PROVIDE THOSE, UH, DELIVERY ENTRANCES, IT TELLS THE, THE, THE PURPOSE OF THE CODE IS TO PUSH THE BUILDINGS MORE TOWARDS THE STREET.
SO YOU CREATE THE PEDESTRIAN ENVIRONMENT, SO YOUR PARKING AND YOUR LOADING IS GONNA BE ON THE BACKSIDE OF THE, OF THE BUILDING.
I, I WAS JUST, WHEN I HEAR THIS HIGHER DENSITY, I WAS JUST CONCERNED THAT YOU'RE GONNA HAVE A, IT'LL BE A WHOLE MASSIVE, YOU KNOW, IF PEOPLE DON'T HAVE CARS GONNA BE GETTING FOOD DELIVERED OR I'M ASSUMING, OR MORE THINGS DELIVERED.
SO I WANTED TO MAKE SURE IT WASN'T GONNA CAUSE CONGESTION.
NO BUILDINGS PUSHED TO MORE TOWARDS THE STREET DELIVERY AND PARKING IS GONNA BE IN THE REAR.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH, COMMISSIONER GARCIA.
SO, UM, THANK YOU FOR THE PRESENTATION.
I'VE SEEN VERSIONS OF THIS A FEW DIFFERENT TIMES NOW AND, UM, I ALWAYS LEARN SOMETHING NEW
UM, SO, UM, SOME OF THE COMMENTS THAT WE'VE BEEN HEARING HAVE TO DO WITH PEOPLE FEELING, UM, OR EXPRESSING, UM, THAT THEY PREFER TO HAVE, UM, SOME PARKING EVEN IN THE MIXED USE DISTRICTS AND THE HIGH INTENSITY DISTRICTS.
[03:45:01]
WHAT IS YOUR, UM, WHAT IS YOUR RESPONSE TO THOSE? SO, AS MENTIONED IN ONE OF THE STATEMENTS, UM, IF YOU LOOK AT, UH, THE EXISTING CONDITIONS TODAY, RIGHT? IF YOU'RE LOOKING AT THE EXISTING CONDITIONS TODAY OF AN, OF A NEIGHBORHOOD, THEY'RE EXPERIENCING SOME, SOME PRESSURES RELATED TO PARKING.THE EXISTING CONDITIONS TODAY ALSO INCLUDE THAT THERE IS NO TRANSIT LINE THAT IS FASTER AND FREQUENT.
UH, SO WE'RE LOOKING AT THINGS THROUGH A LENS OF TODAY.
UM, THE, THE POINT OF THIS, THIS CODE UPDATE AND, AND THE POINT OF, OF ADDING THE LAYER OF THE TRANSIT IS TO LOOK AT IT THROUGH TOMORROW.
YOU NOW HAVE AN OPTION WITH THE FASTER FREQUENT BUS SERVICE TO BE ABLE TO TAKE THAT BUS, RIGHT? INSTEAD OF HAVING TO FIND PARKING ON FIRST FRIDAY IN KING WILLIAM, NOW I CAN JUST HOP ON THE BUS AND GET DROPPED OFF DIRECTLY IN KING WILLIAM WITHOUT HAVING TO PUT ANOTHER CAR IN THAT NEIGHBORHOOD.
UH, BECAUSE THAT, AGAIN, YOU'RE LOOKING AT IT THROUGH THE LENS OF TODAY, IT'S ABOUT LOOKING AT IT THROUGH THE LENS OF TOMORROW.
AGAIN, AS I MENTIONED EARLIER TOO, JUST BECAUSE YOU DON'T HAVE THE CITY PARKING REQUIREMENTS ON THIS CODE, YOU STILL HAVE, UH, UH, THE NEED TO PROVIDE SOME SORT OF PARKING BECAUSE AGAIN, YOU'RE TRYING TO FINANCE A PROJECT YOU'RE TRYING TO BUILD, CREATE THAT DEVELOPMENT, AND THERE'S CERTAIN CHECKLISTS THAT YOU HAVE TO MEET IN ORDER TO GET THAT FINANCING.
PART OF THOSE IS, MANY OF THEM LOOK AT NATIONAL STANDARDS FOR PARKING REQUIREMENTS.
UM, AND SO THERE ARE NATIONAL STANDARDS FOR PARKING REQUIREMENTS BASED ON THAT USE.
AND SO AS LONG AS YOU CHECK THAT BOX, THEN YOU'RE ABLE TO SAY, OKAY, THIS IS MY USE AND THIS IS THE AMOUNT OF PARKING THAT, THAT THE MARKET DICTATES AT THAT TIME BECAUSE IT ADJUSTS TO THAT MARKET.
UM, AGAIN, NOT HAVING TO, UH, COMPLY WITH A CITY CODE REQUIREMENT, BUT A NATIONAL STANDARD.
SO AGAIN, IT'S NOT THAT, UH, PEOPLE WON'T PARK IT, IT'S JUST THAT WE'RE JUST SAYING DON'T, DON'T COMPLY WITH AN OLD 65-YEAR-OLD CODE, BUT COMPLY WITH WHAT NATIONALLY IS THE TREND.
UM, I THINK, UM, ANOTHER, UM, CONSIDERATION THAT I'M KIND OF HEARING IS THAT, UH, I THINK THERE'S A PERCEPTION THAT THERE WILL BE AN ABRUPT CHANGE IF THIS IS TO TAKE PLACE, BUT IT SOUNDS LIKE THAT THIS IS NOT SOMETHING THAT'S COMING IN TO BE IMPOSED, BUT RATHER AN OPTION THAT'S BEING PRESENTED FOR FUTURE DEVELOPMENT ALONG THIS CORRIDOR.
SO IT SEEMS LIKE THE CHANGES THAT OCCUR ARE GONNA BE PART OF THIS ACCRETIVE PROCESS OVER TIME, AND THAT, YOU KNOW, THERE MAY NOT BE AN IMMEDIATE WALKABILITY THAT MAGICALLY MATERIALIZES ALONG SAN PEDRO, UM, BUT THAT OVER TIME, AS THE DENSITY INCREASES, THE BUILDINGS MOVE UP TO THE STREETSCAPE AND THESE THINGS, WE'RE GONNA CREATE THIS MORE URBAN, MORE WALKABLE AND HOSPITABLE STREET ENVIRONMENT.
UM, IS THAT SOMETHING THAT, THAT YOU'RE HEARING AS WELL? THAT'S CORRECT.
WE WOULD AGREE WITH THAT ASSESSMENT.
UM, THERE, UH, I, I RECOGNIZE THAT WE'RE NOT, UH, LOOKING AT MAPS TODAY AND WE'RE NOT, UM, UM, TALKING REALLY ABOUT SPECIFICS.
UH, BUT, UM, I HEARD SEVERAL PEOPLE, UM, QUESTIONING, UM, IMPLEMENTATION OF A PARKING PERMIT PROGRAM FOR THE RESIDENTIAL AREAS ALONG THE, ALONG THE ROUTE OR ALONG THE, THE TRANSIT ORIENTED DEVELOPMENT ZONE LENGTH.
AND, UM, I WONDER, IT SEEMS LIKE THAT'S SOMETHING THAT'S NOT NECESSARILY CONNECTED TO TRANSIT ORIENTED DEVELOPMENT, BUT HOW WOULD THAT KIND OF PROCESS GO ABOUT BEING, UM, UM, IMPLEMENTED OR INQUIRED AFTER? UH, HELLO.
I'M THE DIRECTOR FOR CENTER CITY DEVELOPMENT AND OPERATIONS DEPARTMENT.
UH, BASICALLY DOWNTOWN OPERATIONS WITHIN OUR DEPARTMENT.
WE OVERSEE PARKING OPERATIONS FOR THE CITY.
THAT INCLUDES THE CITY'S PARKING FACILITIES, BUT IT ALSO INCLUDES PARKING ENFORCEMENT.
UM, AND SO WE, YEARS AGO, MAYBE 10 YEARS AGO, THE CITY IMPLEMENTED A A RESIDENTIAL PARKING PROGRAM.
UM, WHAT THAT IS, IS IT REQUIRES A PERMIT, UM, FOR SOMEONE TO PARK ON STREET, AND IT'S A RESIDENTIAL, UM, PARKING PROGRAM, SO IT'S ONLY AVAILABLE TO RESIDENTS.
IT CAME ABOUT BECAUSE WE HAD, UM, SEVERAL AREAS OF TOWNS WHERE WE HAD LARGE COMMUTERS WHERE WE WERE PARKING IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD, TAKING UP SPACE ON THE STREET.
SO THE, UH, UH, RESIDENTS REQUESTED, UM, THE ABILITY TO, TO, TO PARK IN FRONT OF THEIR OWN HOMES, BASICALLY.
UH, SO ONCE THAT RPP, WHAT WE, AS WE CALL THE ACRONYM, IS IMPLEMENTED, UM, IT REQUIRES THAT ONLY INDIVIDUALS THAT HAVE THAT PERMIT ARE ALLOWED TO PARK ON STREET.
I MEAN, AND IT'S ONLY APPLICABLE TO RESIDENTS WHO LIVE, UH, ON THAT STREET.
DOES THAT, THAT'S IT KIND OF IN A NUTSHELL, BUT I CAN GET INTO MORE DETAIL IF YOU LIKE.
I ACTUALLY LIVE IN LA VACA, SO, SO YOU'RE FAMILIAR WITH IT.
I'M NOT ON ONE OF THE STREETS WHERE THE PPR IS REQUIRED.
SO I, I THINK THE CONCERN IS THAT IF YOU HAVE A, UH, A DENSE DEVELOPMENT THAT YOU WOULD FIND IN A TOD IS, AND IT DOES NOT HAVE THE ADEQUATE PARKING FOR INDIVIDUALS WHO, WHO LIVE OR ARE, UM, FREQUENTING THAT AREA, THEN IT WOULD THEN FORCE THEM INTO THE NEIGHBORHOODS AND YOU'D HAVE A SIMILAR SITUATION LIKE WE HAVE TODAY IN SOME
[03:50:01]
NEIGHBORHOODS.SO I THINK THAT THE CONCERN AND THE REQUEST FROM THE, UM, FROM THE STAKEHOLDERS IS, IS THAT WE WOULD IMPLEMENT AN RPP AROUND THESE TOD DISTRICTS, SHOULD THAT BECOME A PROBLEM.
AND SO HOW WOULD THE CITIZENS WHO ARE FEELING THIS PARKING PRESSURE REQUEST THAT, HOW WOULD THEY, SO, SURE.
CURRENTLY THERE'S TWO WAYS TO IMPLEMENT THAT.
UM, ONE IS A PETITION DRIVEN, IT'S A, IT'S A VOLUNTEER PROGRAM WHERE, UM, THE RESIDENTS OF THAT PARTICULAR STREET OR BLOCKS OF STREETS ACTUALLY SUBMIT A PETITION TO THE CITY TO, TO START THAT PROCESS.
OR IT COULD BE IMPLEMENTED BY CITY COUNCIL, WHICH I THINK IS WHAT'S ALSO BEEN REQUESTED.
SO THOSE ARE THE TWO OPTIONS TODAY FOR IT TO BE IMPLEMENTED, THAT THAT'S TO START THE PROCESS.
THE PROCESS WOULD, UM, INCLUDE A SURVEY TO BE DONE, A PARKING SURVEY, AND THE, AND THE, FOR TWO REASONS.
ONE IS DETERMINE IS WHAT IS THE TRUE NATURE OF THE PROBLEM? IS IT REALLY A, A, A WHAT WE CALL A COMMUTER PROBLEM? UM, SO HOW MANY OF THE CARS THAT ARE CURRENTLY PARKED THERE ARE RESIDENTS VERSUS PEOPLE WHO DON'T LIVE IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD? UM, AND THEN IF IT MEETS THAT CRITERIA, THEN WE MOVE FORWARD AND THERE'D BE A PUBLIC HEARING PROCESS, AND THEN IT WOULD GO TO COUNCIL FOR APPROVAL.
UM, ONCE IT'S APPROVED, THEN THE, UH, IT WOULD REQUIRE THE RESIDENTS COME IN, PROVE THEIR, PROVE THAT THEY'RE A RESIDENT THERE, THEN WE WOULD ISSUE THEM PERMITS TO PARK ON THE STREET.
SO, UM, THE LAST THING THAT I'LL SAY IS NOT A QUESTION, BUT A COMMENT.
AND SO, UM, I'M PRIVILEGED TO LIVE WITHIN, UM, TWO EASY WALKABLE BLOCKS OF FOUR SEPARATE BUS LINES.
AND SO PRETTY MUCH ANYWHERE I WANT TO GO IN THE CENTER CITY IS EASY FOR ME TO GET TO.
I THINK THIS IS A REALLY GREAT PROGRAM.
I THINK THAT, UM, THE CITY PARTNERING WITH BEYOND THIS IS, UM, GONNA BE A HUGE BENEFIT TO OUR SOCIETY.
UM, OUR, OUR, YOU KNOW, LIVING IN SAN ANTONIO, MAKING, MAKING, LIVING IN SAN ANTONIO MORE AFFORDABLE WHEN WE DON'T HAVE TO PAY, UH, FOR A CAR AND FOR RAISING INSURANCE RATES, AND WE DON'T HAVE TO NAVIGATE, UM, ALL THE DIFFICULTIES THAT ARE ASSOCIATED WITH THAT.
SO I WILL BE IN SUPPORT OF THIS, UM, TRANSIT ORIENTED DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM.
THANK YOU, COMMISSIONER MILAN.
THANK YOU FOR THAT PRESENTATION, KAT.
AND I ECHO WHAT, WHAT COMMISSIONER SIEGEL SAID THAT I LEARN SOMETHING NEW EVERY TIME THERE'S A NEW ITERATION.
UM, I'VE HAD THE, UM, A COMMENT, NO QUESTIONS FOR YOU, BUT I'VE, I'VE HAD THE GOOD FORTUNE TO TRAVEL IN A NUMBER OF PLACES THAT DO HAVE TODS AND BEEN VERY, VERY IMPRESSED.
AND IT'S WONDERFUL TO BE ABLE TO HOP OFF THE BUS AND WALK AND GO.
AND I LOOK FORWARD TO BEING ABLE TO DO THAT HERE.
THANKS KAT, FOR THE PRESENTATION.
UH, I HOPE YOU CAN LISTEN TO IT EARLIER BEFORE THE VOICE MESSAGES, SO WE HAVE FULL ENERGY
UH, BUT, UM, A COUPLE OF QUESTIONS, UH, UH, IN RESPONSE TO YOUR COMMENTS ABOUT THE PARKING, UH, DOES THE NATIONAL, UH, REASONABLE PARKING REQUIRED FOR, UH, A BUILDING IS ONE OF THE CHECKBOX A DEVELOPER HAS TO MAINTAIN IN HIS PERMITTING PROCESS WITH THE CITY? IF WE ARE REMOVING THIS FROM THE CODE AND WE GO WITH THE NATIONAL REASONABLE PARKING, IF THIS IS A CHECKBOX REQUIREMENT, RIGHT? SO RIGHT NOW, UM, IF, IF THIS IS REMOVED FROM THE CODE, WE WOULD HAVE NO MINIMUM OR WE WOULD HAVE THE 50% MINIMUM BASED ON OUR PARKING REQUIREMENTS THAT ARE IN THE CODE RIGHT NOW, OR NONE ALTOGETHER.
BUT I, I THINK WHAT YOU'RE REFERRING TO IS THE ITE ONES, WHICH MAY, WHICH MAY BE USED, UM, ELSEWHERE AS FAR AS FUNDING OR INSURANCE OR, OR WHATEVER IT IS THAT, THAT THEY WOULD NEED THROUGH ANOTHER MECHANISM OTHER THAN THE CITY TO HAVE A DEVELOPMENT FUNDED IN SOME WAY.
SO A DEVELOPER RIGHT NOW WITH THE NEW CODES, THIS STATEMENT IS IN THERE BEING REMOVED.
THERE IS NO ENFORCEMENT IN THAT DEVELOPER TO COMPLY NOT THROUGH THIS CITY, NO.
SO WOULD THAT BE A CONCERN? SO AGAIN, RIGHT.
IT, IT'S LOOKING AT IT THROUGH THE FACT THAT IN ORDER TO CREATE THE DEVELOPMENT, THEY HAVE TO, UH, BE ABLE TO PROVIDE THAT, THAT FINANCING.
MOST OF THE BANKS ARE GONNA LOOK AT, OKAY, YOU HAVE TO A CERTAIN CHECKLIST, AND I, I WAS GONNA LOOK AT, UH, THE CHAIR 'CAUSE YOU MIGHT KNOW A LITTLE BIT MORE ABOUT THIS PROCESS IN ORDER FOR THE DEVELOPMENT TO OCCUR.
BUT, UM, WHAT THEY DO IS, UH, THEY HAVE CERTAIN CHECKLISTS IN, IN ORDER TO MEET YOU, YOU NEED TO QUALIFY FOR THIS.
'CAUSE IT'S A RISK, RIGHT? IT'S A RISK IN ORDER, UH, TO PROVIDE THAT FINANCING, UH, IN ORDER TO DO THE DEVELOPMENT.
UH, BUT AGAIN, WHAT WE'RE SAYING IS THAT WHAT MOST
[03:55:01]
CITIES ARE, ARE MOVING TOWARDS, AND THERE'S A LOT OF CITIES THAT ARE MOVING TOWARDS REMOVING PARKING MINIMUMS OR ESTABLISHING TOD DISTRICTS WITH NO PARKING MINIMUMS. UM, IT, IT'S, IT'S NOT SAYING THAT THEY'RE NEVER GONNA PROVIDE THE PARKING, IT'S JUST THAT YOU'RE GONNA LOOK AT THE NATIONAL STANDARDS THAT HAVE, UM, CERTAIN REQUIREMENTS THAT ARE BASED ON THAT ADJUST TO THE MARKET.SO IF A RESIDENTIAL USE SAYS, LIKE OUR CODE SAYS 1.5 SPACES, THAT IT CODE MAY SAY 1.23 SPACES.
SO IT'S A LITTLE LESS THAN WHAT WE HAVE.
UM, BUT I, I'M, I'M NOT CONCERNED TOO MUCH BECAUSE AGAIN, THIS IS A TOD DISTRICT, RIGHT? THAT IS NOT BEING PLACED ON PROPERTIES TODAY.
IT'S NOT REZONING PROPERTIES TODAY.
SO AN A APPLICANT'S GONNA HAVE TO GO THROUGH THAT REZONING PROCESS, WHICH IS A PUBLIC INPUT PROCESS.
AND IF THERE ARE CONCERNS ABOUT HOW THAT DEVELOPMENT IS GONNA BE PARKED, THOSE CAN BE PART OF THAT PUBLIC INPUT PROCESS.
SO THERE'S STILL THAT EXTRA STEP IN ORDER TO ADDRESS THE CONCERNS THAT PEOPLE DO HAVE CONCERNS ABOUT THAT.
BECAUSE AGAIN, IF THE, IF YOU'RE ASKING FOR THE TOD BEFORE THE CONSTRUCTION OF THE LINE IS COMPLETE AND IT'S IN REVENUE RUNNING SERVICE, YOU'RE NOT ABLE TO SEE HOW THE, THE TRAFFIC PATTERNS HAVE CHANGED OR THE PARKING HAS HAS CHANGED BECAUSE NOW YOU HAVE MORE PEOPLE OPTING IN TO UTILIZE THE TRANSIT SERVICE.
SO AGAIN, I'M NOT CONCERNED, 'CAUSE AGAIN, WE'RE NOT PLACING TOD ON PROPERTIES.
THEY STILL HAVE TO GO THROUGH A PUBLIC INPUT PROCESS.
FOR SOME CONTEXT, I WOULD ADD THAT THIS WOULD NOT BE UNPRECEDENTED.
WE, WE DO HAVE, UM, ELIMINATED PARKING REQUIREMENTS AND I I WILL SAY RARELY DO WE SEE DEVELOPMENTS WITH NO PARKING ALTOGETHER, VERY RARELY.
UM, GENERALLY THEY'RE PROVIDING IT, UM, REGARDLESS OF WHETHER OR NOT THERE IS A MINIMUM REQUIRED, OUR D DISTRICT IS ONE OF THOSE, HAS NO MINIMAL PARKING REQUIREMENTS, AND IT DOESN'T JUST COVER THE CENTRAL DOWNTOWN.
IT'S A LITTLE BIT OUT AS WELL.
AND STEEL DEVELOPER WOULD GO AND CREATE PARKING SPACE REGARDLESS IF IT IS NO MINIMUM REQUIREMENT.
I MEAN, IF YOU THINK ABOUT IT, IF YOU HAVE A RESIDENTIAL, UH, UNIT THAT YOU'RE TRYING TO SELL AND, AND, UH, YOU'RE MARKETING IT, AND THAT PERSON WHO'S LOOKING AT IT SAYS, OKAY, YEAH, I'M, I'M INTERESTED IN LIVING HERE.
WHERE DO I PARK MY CAR? OH, I'M SORRY, I DIDN'T BUILD IT WITH ANY PARKING.
THEN THEY GO ON TO THE NEXT THING.
SO THAT'S WHY YOU END UP LOOKING AT, OKAY, WHAT'S MY NATIONAL STANDARD I'M GONNA AT LEAST PARK, PARK IT WITH, WITH THAT NATIONAL STANDARD? OKAY, JUST FOR THE RECORD, IT'S 6 46.
COMMISSIONER LOPEZ HAS LEFT THE MEETING.
UH, ARE WE CREATING BURDEN OVER THE RESIDENTS TO GO AND APPLY FOR REZONING IN THIS NEW DISTRICT? OR THIS IS GOING TO BE IMPLEMENTED AND DONE BY THE CITY WITHOUT HAVING THE OWNERS OF THOSE PROPERTIES TO COME FORWARD AND DO IT THEMSELVES? RIGHT NOW, THERE IS NO, UM, DIRECTIVE TO DO A REZONING, A LARGE AREA REZONING PROCESS FOR THIS.
UM, WE HAVE GONE THROUGH CODE UPDATES, UM, AS WELL AS ENABLING ORDINANCES, WHICH DIDN'T HAVE A REZONING PROCESS.
AND THEN THERE HAVE BEEN SOME, UH, ZONING DISTRICTS THAT WERE CREATED WHERE IT DID HAVE A REZONING PROCESS.
BUT THIS PROCESS DOES NOT HAVE THAT TODAY.
NOW, I CAN'T SPEAK TO THE FUTURE AND THE FUTURE COUNCIL WANTING TO LOOK AT, AT SOMETHING ONCE, ESPECIALLY ONCE THE CONSTRUCTION AND, AND THE SERVICE STARTS TO RUN.
I CAN'T SPEAK FOR THAT IN THE FUTURE, BUT AS OF RIGHT NOW, WITH THE AMENDMENTS TO THE CODE, IT'S JUST AMENDMENTS TO THE CODE.
SO I JUST WANNA MAKE SURE THEY'RE NOT GOING TO BE ENFORCED TO MAKE FEES TO REZONE THEIR PROPERTIES IN THE FUTURE BECAUSE OF THAT, THE WAY IT EXISTS TODAY, THEY WOULD HAVE TO, UH, PAY TO APPLY.
BUT AGAIN, I CAN'T SPEAK FOR COUNCILS IN THE FUTURE IF THEY WANTED TO INITIATE A REZONING EFFORT.
DO YOU WANNA TALK ABOUT IT? SAY ONE THING? YEAH.
SO AGAIN, RIGHT NOW, THERE IS NO PORTION OF THIS PROJECT THAT WOULD DIRECT CITY STAFF TO APPLY THIS EN MASS.
SO IF THIS WERE APPROVED ULTIMATELY BY CITY COUNCIL AND A DEVELOPER, A PROPERTY OWNER WANTED TO REZONE TO TOD, THEY WOULD BE REQUIRED TO SUBMIT THAT CHANGES ZONING APPLICATION AND PAY THE ASSOCIATED FEES WITH IT.
THE ONE OTHER POINT THAT I WANTED TO CLARIFY IS, YOU KNOW, A FUTURE COUNCIL THAT'S COUNCIL'S DECISION AT THE END OF THE DAY, MAY ELECT TO DIRECT STAFF TO DO A LARGE AREA REZONING.
IF THAT IS THE CASE, INDIVIDUAL PROPERTY OWNERS ARE NOT BILLED IF THE CITY IS DIRECTED TO IMPLEMENT IT.
SO THERE WILL NEVER BE A LARGE AREA PROJECT THAT BILLS THOUSANDS OF PROPERTY OWNERS, HUNDREDS OF PROPERTY OWNERS.
SO INITIATIVE LIKE THIS WOULD HAVE TO COME FROM COUNCIL, BUT CANNOT BE INCLUDED IN THE AMENDMENT THAT WE ARE LOOKING AT IT TODAY.
IT WOULD HAVE FROM OWNERS, FROM THE ACTUAL ACTION FOR COUNCIL TO DIRECT US BY RESOLUTION.
THEY WOULD HAVE TO DO A RESOLUTION DIRECTING STAFF TO DO A REZONING, AND THEN THOSE FEES ARE ABSORBED BY THE DEPARTMENT.
[04:00:01]
I'M HERE LIKE TABLE 3 42, 0 2 2, UH, HOW DID YOU COME UP WITH ALL THOSE NUMBERS ALL OF A SUDDEN? OR THIS IS ADOPTED FROM A PREVIOUS TOD ZONING? UH, IT LOOKS LIKE A LOT OF NUMBERS FROM EACH JUST COMING IN DURING THE PREPARATION PROCESS.SO WE ACTUALLY STARTED OFF WITH, UM, THANKS TO A GRANT THAT VIA HAD, UM, HAD GOTTEN SEVERAL YEARS AGO PRE CVID.
UH, THEY STARTED WORKING WITH A CONSULTANT TO, UH, CREATE A TOD CODE.
SO, AS YOU KNOW, IN OUR UDC AMENDMENT PROCESS, OUTSIDE ORG, OUTSIDE ORGANIZATIONS ARE ABLE TO SUBMIT, UH, UDC AMENDMENTS.
AND SO VIA, AT THAT TIME, PRE COVID WAS WORKING ON UPDATES TO THE TOD CODE BECAUSE THE ART LINES WERE, WERE STARTING TO, TO GO THROUGH THAT DEVELOPMENT PROCESS.
UM, AND WHEN THE PANDEMIC HIT THE, UH, PUBLIC INPUT PROCESS WAS, WAS PUT ON HOLD WHEN OUR, THE CCR CAME OUT LAST YEAR, WE DECIDED TO WORK WITH VIA AND SAY, OKAY, WELL WE'LL TAKE YOUR DOCUMENT RATHER THAN STARTING FROM SCRATCH.
RIGHT? SO WE TOOK THE DOCUMENT STARTED WITH THAT, AND MANY OF THOSE NUMBERS, UH, WERE ALREADY, UM, PART OF THAT, PART OF THE PROPOSED, UH, CODE AMENDMENTS THAT THE CONSULTANT HAD PUT TOGETHER.
AND THEN WE JUST PUT OUR FINGERPRINTS, CITY OF SAN ANTONIO FOR FINGERPRINTS ALL OVER THE CONSULTANTS WORK, AND CAME UP WITH THIS THROUGH THE TASK FORCE PARTICIPATION.
UH, I'M NOT SURE IF THESE NUMBERS MIGHT BE APPLICABLE AT SOME POINT, BUT THERE IS ANY CHANCE TO MAKE CHANGES DOWN THE ROAD? UH, A ABSOLUTELY.
SO, UM, AS WE DO WITH ANY UDC, UM, UH, PROCESS ON CYCLE ON ON CYCLE, YES.
YOU WOULD NOT OFF CYCLE, YOU CAN MAKE TWEAKS, YOU CAN MAKE, UM, REFINEMENTS MODIFICATIONS, AND WE TYPICALLY DO THAT THROUGH, UH, THE NORMAL CYCLE OF AMENDMENTS.
SO THE NEXT ONE'S IN 27, RIGHT? YOU THANK YOU.
UH, KAT, AS HAS BEEN SAID BY ALL MY FELLOW COMMISSIONERS, UM, I THANK YOU FOR WORKING WITH THE VARIOUS NEIGHBORHOODS AND ADDRESSING A LOT OF THEIR CONCERNS.
I STILL HAVE ONE CONCERN, AND THAT IS STILL THE, THE, UM, THE ZERO PARKING IN, IN THE MIXED.
UM, AND IT'S NOT NECESSARILY THAT IT APPLIES TO ALL THE MIXED, UM, THE TOD MIXED, UM, DESIGNATIONS.
UM, MY CONCERN IS OVER ANY TOD MIXED DESIGNATION THAT WOULD BE ABUTTING A SINGLE FAMILY NEIGHBORHOOD MM-HMM,
UM, AND, UM, MY RECOMMENDATION WOULD BE THAT THE 50% THAT IS IN THE, IN THE TRANSITIONAL ONE, BECAUSE I CAN SEE WHERE YOU WOULD WANT A MIXED A TOD MIXED WHERE YOU COULD HAVE, NOT JUST RESIDENTIAL, BUT SERVICES BE ADJACENT TO A SINGLE FAMILY NEIGHBORHOOD.
SO I WOULD SUGGEST, OR MY, MY ONE SUGGESTION THAT I WILL MAKE WOULD BE THAT, THAT, UM, UH, THAT FOR THE TOD MIXED, UM, DESIGNATIONS THAT ABUT SINGLE FAMILY USES, THAT THOSE HAVE THE 50% REDUCTION AS WELL VERSUS THE ZERO.
UM, AND I KNOW WE'VE TALKED ABOUT, OR YOU'VE MENTIONED LOOKING THROUGH IT THROUGH A FUTURE LENS, UNFORTUNATELY, UM, RIGHT NOW WE'VE JUST GOT TWO ART LINES THAT ARE BEING PLANNED.
AND FROM WHAT I UNDERSTAND, AND CORRECT ME IF I'M WRONG, THE, THE, THE GREEN, THE NORTH SOUTH LINE IS BASICALLY JUST ONE BUS ROUTE THAT EX THAT, THAT YOU'RE, YOU'RE GONNA BE GOING THIS WAY TO THIS WAY, THIS WAY TO THIS WAY, AND YOU'LL HAVE TO TRANSFER OR, OR SOMEHOW IN ORDER TO GET TO OTHER PLACES.
UM, AND SO I THINK THAT THAT'S GONNA CAUSE STILL SOME PARKING PRESSURES FROM THOSE THAT DON'T LIVE EXACTLY ALONG THAT SPINE.
UM, THAT IF YOU'RE COMING FROM WEST OR EAST, YOU'RE GONNA HAVE TO TAKE, YOU'LL HAVE TO SOMEHOW TAKE AN A ONE ROUTE TRANSFER, TAKE ANOTHER ROUTE TO GET THERE.
UM, AND SO YOU'RE, YOU MAY JUST TAKE YOUR CAR AND SO THEREFORE YOU'LL, YOU'LL NEED A, A, A SPOT.
UM, AND I THINK THAT THAT INSTITUTING A 50% REDUCTION ONLY WHERE IT ABUTS SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL SO THAT THE MIXED, THE MIXED, UM, TODD COULD
[04:05:01]
BE, YOU KNOW, AS YOU GET UP, YOU KNOW, NORTH OF BASSEY AND YOU'RE, YOU, YOU, I MEAN, YOU'RE NOT IMMEDIATELY ABUTTING, UH, SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL, THEN THAT ALLOWS THE ZERO IF YOU WANT.BUT ONCE YOU'RE DOWN IN THE AL ALMOST PARK TERRACE, UM, AND, AND SOUTH AREAS THAT, THAT'S WHERE YOU WOULD STILL HAVE TO HAVE 50% JUST TO RELIEVE THE PRESSURES AND THE BURDEN ON THOSE HOMEOWNERS.
BECAUSE I UNDERSTAND, YES, YOU CAN DO THE, THE PARKING PERMIT, BUT THAT STILL SOUNDS LIKE THAT IS A LONG TIME PROCESS WHERE YOU'VE GOTTA DO THE STUDY, YOU'VE GOTTA HAVE THE PUBLIC INPUT, YOU'VE GOTTA DO THE SURVEY AND DO THIS, YOU KNOW, AND IT DOESN'T, AND, AND IT SEEMS LIKE THAT'S A, A HUGE BURDEN TO PLACE ON THOSE HOMEOWNERS.
UM, SO THAT'S THE EXTENT OF MY COMMENTS, BUT I THANK YOU FOR ADDRESSING ALL THE OTHERS.
IT'S 99% THERE, IN MY OPINION.
UM, AND SO I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO IT, BUT I HAVE THAT ONE LITTLE PIECE.
I, I THINK THERE'S A CONCERN WITH, AND, AND PLEASE CHIME IN GUYS, UM, WITH EN ENFORCEMENT IN THE FUTURE.
SO RIGHT NOW, IF A, IF A PROJECT IS ZONED, UH, TOD ABUTTING A SINGLE FAMILY, UH, USE, UM, THEN IF THE REQUIREMENT IS, THEREFORE YOU SHALL, UH, THIS TOD SHOULD, UH, COMPLY WITH A WHATEVER PERCENTAGE REQUIREMENT, BUT IF THAT NEXT DOOR USE EVER CHANGES IN THE FUTURE TO SOMETHING ELSE, AND THAT'S NO LONGER SINGLE FAMILY, THEN THE PARKING REQUIREMENT IS REMOVED, BUT YET THE DEVELOPMENT'S ALREADY BUILT BASED ON THAT 50% REQUIREMENT OR WHATEVER PERCENTAGE IS.
SO I THINK IT WOULD BE A LITTLE BIT CONFUSING TOWARDS THE END WHEN WE'RE TALKING ABOUT ENFORCEMENT FROM STAFF.
I, I IT WOULD BE A LITTLE UNIQUE, UH, AT A MINIMUM TO REGULATE PARKING ON A PROPERTY BASED UPON WHAT'S ABUTTING IT OR WHAT'S NEXT TO IT.
I THINK THE OTHER THING IN THE TOD PROPOSAL THAT HELPS TO SOLVE THIS PROBLEM IS YOU HAVE NOT JUST ONE CATEGORY OF TOD, BUT YOU HAVE TOD TRANSITIONAL DISTRICTS THAT WOULD TYPICALLY BE LOCATED IMMEDIATELY ABUTTING THOSE SINGLE FAMILY NEIGHBORHOODS, WHICH STILL HAVE THAT 50% PARKING REQUIREMENT, WHICH I UNDERSTAND, BUT FROM WHAT I UNDERSTAND, CAN YOU HAVE ALL THE SAME SERVICES IN THAT TOD TRANSITIONAL? NO.
TRANSITION IS ONLY SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL, ONLY SINGLE FAMILY.
SO SAY YOU WANT A FLOWER SHOP, THE ONLY OPTION THAT YOU WOULD HAVE WOULD BE TO GO TO TOD MIX AN MX DISTRICT IF YOU'RE ADJACENT TO SINGLE FAMILY.
SO THAT'S WHAT I'M TRYING TO DO IS BRIDGE THAT GAP SO THAT RIGHT NOW, YES, TRANSITIONAL YOU HAVE 50%, IT'S ONLY RESIDENTIAL, BUT IF YOU WANT SERVICES YOU'RE AT ALWAYS AT ZERO.
A AGAIN, IT'S, IT'S, IT'S A ZERO REQUIREMENT FOR A CITY CODE REQUIREMENT, BUT IT'S NOT A A ZERO, UM, PROVISION OF PARKING.
I'M, I'M JUST THINKING BASED ON THE LENS FROM ZONING.
SO IF YOU'LL EXCUSE ME, UM, WE SEE A TON OF PUBLIC COMMENT WHEN IT COMES TO, TO PARKING.
AND SO WHEN WE'VE HAD IDZ ZONING AND WE CAN SHOW, HEY, THIS IS THE SITE PLAN LOOK, THEY'RE NOT PROVIDING A 500 SPACES, THEY'RE PROVIDING FOUR SPACES.
WE HAD ONE WHERE THEY JUST RECENTLY, WE APPROVED THREE SPACES ON SITE.
BUT BY SAYING, JUST TRUST US, WE'RE GOING TO DO SOMETHING.
YOU DON'T GET THAT PUBLIC IN, YOU DON'T GET THAT PUBLIC BUY-IN.
AND A LOT OF TIMES THAT ZONING FAILS.
SO I'M TRYING TO CREATE, I'M, I'M TRYING TO CREATE SOMETHING THAT SETS THE DEVELOPER UP FOR SUCCESS WHILE ALSO, UM, YOU KNOW, UH, UH, ASSURING THE NEIGHBORHOOD THAT THEY, THAT THERE WILL BE SOMETHING THERE.
I, I TOTALLY AGREE WITH YOU, ESPECIALLY WITH THE FACT THAT WHAT EXISTS TODAY IS NOT A FASTER FREQUENT BUS SERVICE, BECAUSE IN THAT, IN THAT EXAMPLE, THERE IS NO OTHER OPTION TO GET THERE, BUT TO DRIVE YOUR CAR AND PARK IT.
WHAT I'M, WHAT I'M SAYING IS THAT, AND WHAT WE, WHAT WE DISCUSSED AT THE TASK FORCE IS THAT WE'RE NOW LOOKING AT IT THROUGH, UH, ANOTHER OPTION FOR TRANSPORTATION.
NOW YOU'VE GOT A FASTER FREQUENT BUS SERVICE.
AGAIN, DOESN'T EXIST TODAY, WOULD EXIST IN TWO YEARS, UM, AT LEAST TWO YEARS, RIGHT? YES.
UM, AND, AND THAT IS THE OPTION THAT PEOPLE COULD CHOOSE TO 'CAUSE NOT, NOT ONLY DO YOU HAVE THOSE THAT HAVE TO RIDE THE BUS 'CAUSE THAT THERE IS NO OTHER OPTION FOR THEM TO, BUT YOU ALSO HAVE THE CHOICE RIDERS THAT NOW SAY, OKAY, INSTEAD OF TAKING MY SINGLE OCCUPANCY VEHICLE, I NOW CAN RIDE THAT BUS.
[04:10:01]
THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE EXAMPLE.AND AGAIN, I TOTALLY AGREE WITH YOU ON THAT, BECAUSE THERE IS NO OTHER OPTION FOR MULTIMODAL TRANSPORTATION.
WE HAVE, WE'RE PUTTING IT ALONG A TRANSIT, A MASS TRANSIT LINE, WHAT WE HOPE WILL BE A MASS TRANSIT LINE.
WELL, IT'S, IT'S GOING, IT'S GONNA BE CONSTRUCTED.
I MEAN, IT'S, IT'S FEDERALLY FUNDED.
WE HEARD THE SAME THING ABOUT, UH, THE BUS RAPID TRANSIT ON FREDERICKSBURG ROAD THAT ORIGINALLY WAS GONNA HAVE DEDICATED LANES, ORIGINALLY GONNA HAVE PREPAID BOARDING, AND NONE OF THAT HAPPENED.
AND SO I HATE TO, YOU KNOW, IT'S KIND OF THOSE LITTLE THINGS.
IT'S LIKE, IF, IF ART WAS ALREADY IN PLACE, OKAY, I'M, I'M FINE.
IT'S JUST THAT IT GETS HARD TO SEE IT WITHOUT IT IN PLACE.
IT'S HARD TO SEE IT WITHOUT IT IN PLACE.
BASED ON PAST EXPERIENCE, RIGHT.
IN SAN ANTONIO, WE HAVE TO SEE IT TO BELIEVE IT, WE HAVE TO TOUCH IT, WE HAVE TO FEEL IT.
IT'S KIND OF HARD TO, UH, PLAN LONG TERM BECAUSE YOU CAN'T SEE IT IN PLACE.
OTHER THAN THAT, I MEAN, 99% WE'RE THERE.
BUT IF I WOULD LIKE TO MAKE AN AMENDMENT AND WHAT HAPPENS, HAPPENS, BUT I DON'T KNOW IF THIS IS THE APPROPRIATE TIME OR NOT.
CAN I PROVIDE ONE MORE COMMENT ON THAT? SURE.
I, I MEAN, AGAIN, AS I MENTIONED EARLIER, I, I UNDERSTAND THE CONCERNS.
UM, BUT MANY TIMES WHAT HAPPENS IS THAT, THAT THE COST PROVIDING THAT PARKING IS THEN NOW PUT UPON THE END USER.
AND IN THIS CASE, WE'RE TALKING ABOUT, UM, SOME OPPORTUNITIES FOR HOUSING AFFORDABILITY.
UM, AND THAT'S WHY THAT WAS EXACTLY WHAT WAS DISCUSSED AT THE TASK FORCE.
AGAIN, WE'RE ONLY TALKING ABOUT, UH, PARKING MINIMUMS ON THIS DISTRICT ONLY.
UM, AND THROUGH THAT REZONING PROCESS, IF THERE IS A CONCERN, UH, WITH THE FACT THAT THERE'S NO PARKING MINIMUMS, THERE IS THE OPTION TO CHOOSE ANOTHER DISTRICT IN ORDER TO MAKE A MIXED USE DEVELOPMENT HAPPEN THAT COULD HAVE PARKING MINIMUMS LIKE IDZ HAS A 50% REQUIREMENT.
UM, A AGAIN, IT'S, IT'S, AGAIN, IT'S HARD TO SEE IT BECAUSE IT'S NOT IN PLACE YET, BUT THAT'S WHAT WE'RE TRYING TO, TO DO AS, AS PLANNED FOR THE FUTURE, BE A LITTLE FORWARD THINKING WITH THIS CODE.
UM, IS THERE ANY, BEFORE WE GO THERE, IS THERE ANY OTHER QUESTIONS FOR YEAH, UH, ORIAN? UH, SO IN, IN WITH WHAT COMMISSIONER, UH, SIFE SAID, I, I'M, I AGREE THAT, THAT I'D RATHER SEE AN AMENDMENT, UH, TO THAT 35 3 42 0 2 H, SO THAT THE MX WOULD HAVE A 50% REDUCTION.
BECAUSE IF, IF A DEVELOPER DIDN'T WANT TO DO IT, THAT'S WHY THE BO OA IS THERE, THEY CAN ALWAYS GO THERE AND ASK FOR A REDUCTION IN PARKING, BUT I'D RATHER SEE IT IN THE CODE NOW.
UH, THE OTHER THING IS, IS ON THE, ON THE USE MATRIX, I REALLY WOULD LIKE, UH, TO PROPOSE AN AMENDMENT TO HAVE, UH, THE ALLOWANCE OF PARKING GARAGES, COMMERCIAL PARKING GARAGES WITHIN TRANSIT CORRIDORS.
I MEAN, IF WE'RE TRYING NOT TO HAVE ANY PARKING IN THE D DISTRICT, THAT WORKS BECAUSE WE HAVE PARKING GARAGES.
SO I'D LIKE TO SEE THE ABILITY FOR SOMEONE TO DO THAT AS WELL.
SO JUST TO CLARIFY ON THE VARIANT, WELL, IT'S NOT, IT'S NOT A VARIANCE TO THE, ITS ENTIRETY.
IT'S ONLY TIED TO THE CERTIFICATE OF OCCUPANCY.
SO THAT CERTIFICATE OF OCCUPANCY CHANGES, THEY HAVE TO CONTINUE TO COME BACK TO THE BOA.
I WAS, I WAS JUST GONNA SAY TO THAT END, I THINK THAT THE NATURE OF TOD DEVELOPMENTS MAKES THAT MORE CHALLENGING THAN A TYPICAL CASE BECAUSE YOU ARE MORE LIKELY TO HAVE MIXED USE DEVELOPMENTS.
AND EVERY TIME A, YOU KNOW, A RESTAURANT TENANT SPACE BECOMES A CAFE, YOU'VE GOTTA GO BACK TO THE BOARD OF ADJUSTMENT FOR ANOTHER PARKING WAIVER.
AND THAT'S THE ISSUE WITH IDZ ZONING.
IDZ ONE HAS NO PARKING, BUT IDZ TWO AND THREE HAVE A PARKING REDUCTION.
IDZ ONE IS FOR RESIDENTIAL TWO AND THREE IS FOR MORE THAN THAT.
I MEAN, I, I'D BE WILLING TO SUPPORT AN AMENDMENT IF WE GET A MAJORITY VOTE, WE GET A MAJORITY VOTE.
IF WE DON'T, I THINK THE CORRECT WAY TO DO IT IS WHOEVER MAKES A MOTION TO MAKE A MOTION TO ACCEPT AS PRESENTED, AND THEN HAVE, UH, EITHER MYSELF OR COMMISSIONER SIPES, UH, MOVE TO AMEND, UH, JUST TO SEE HOW THAT SINGULAR VOTE GOES WITHOUT RUINING THE WHOLE MOTION.
I'VE HEARD THIS TOO MANY TIMES.
BUT I WOULD LIKE TO COMMEND COMMISSIONER SIEGEL ON HER COMMENTS AND OBSERVATIONS.
I THOUGHT THAT WAS VERY INSIGHTFUL AND VERY, VERY GOOD COMMENTS.
SO IS THERE ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? YOU'RE GONNA HAVE A MOTION I MOVE TO ACCEPT THE ZONING DISTRICT WITH THE AMENDMENT TO THE USE MATRIX TABLE TO ALLOW A PARKING GARAGE, UH, COMMERCIAL PARKING GARAGES AND, AND ANY OF THE THREE, UH, TOD DISTRICTS.
SO WE HAVE A MOTION FOR APPROVAL WITH AN AMENDMENT TO ALLOW PARKING GARAGE IN ANY OF THE TOD DISTRICTS.
CAN I OFFER THAT IT NOT BE INCLUDED IN THE TRANSITION DISTRICT? THAT IS, UH, ACCEPTABLE TO ME.
ANYTHING IN, IN ALL DISTRICTS EXCEPT THE, THE HR AND THE MX ONLY? YEAH.
UH, CAN I CLARIFY, UM, IF THAT MOTION PRESENTED BY COMMISSIONER ORIAN INCLUDES,
[04:15:01]
UH, THE AMENDMENTS TO PROHIBIT THE USE OF TOD FOR SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL LOTS WITHIN THE CRAG TO REQUIRE A TRAFFIC, TRAFFIC CIRCULATION STUDY FOR SCHOOLS BOTH PUBLIC AND PRIVATE AND CHARTER, UH, AND TO, UM, UH, ADD THAT STAFF'S PROPOSED AMENDMENTS FOR THE RULES OF INTERPRETATION, PERMITTED USES OF DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS? YES.I MEAN, I, I THOUGHT I WAS, I JUST WANNA CLARIFY THAT, THOSE AS INTENDED.
THEN I'LL SECOND COMMISSIONER OREN'S MOTION.
AND WHAT? COMMISSIONER ORIAN? YES.
ALRIGHT, WELL, I AM, WE DIDN'T HAVE DISCUSSION, BUT THAT'S FINE.
NO, UM, I AM NOT GONNA LET PERFECT.
IS THERE ANY OTHER STAFF, UH, PRESENTATIONS? PLEASE SAY NO
IT IS 7 0 5 AND WE ARE ADJOURNED.
