GOOD AFTERNOON. UM, I'M VALERIE RODRIGUEZ, SENIOR PLANNER WITH THE POLICY ADMINISTRATION TEAM. TODAY WE'RE GONNA BE PRESENTING AN ITEM, UM, WHERE WE'RE REQUESTING, UH, NOMINATIONS FOR VACANCIES TO THE PTECH, UM, SLOTS. YOU WANNA SCROLL? SORRY. UM, WHAT YOU'RE LOOKING AT IS THE PACKET THAT WAS PRESENTED TO THE PTECH NOMINATING COMMITTEE WITH THE APPLICATIONS THAT WERE SUBMITTED. THE PTECH NOMINATING COMMITTEE DID MEET AND DISCUSS, UM, NOMINATIONS, AND THAT'S WHAT WE'RE GONNA BE SEEKING APPROVAL FOR TODAY. DO WE HAVE ANY QUESTIONS? OKAY. THANK YOU. THAT WAS YOUR PRESENTATION, I GUESS? YES. OKAY. ALL RIGHT. WE DO HAVE, UH, TWO PEOPLE SIGNED UP TO SPEAK ON THIS ITEM. THE FIRST IS BARBARA WHITTY. IS IT HORE? IT'S, UH, BARBARA WHITT HOWELL, AND I'M OKAY. PLEASE APPROACH THE PODIUM. WELL, I'M GIVING MY MINUTES TO BIANCA MALDONADO. OKAY, THANK YOU. SO NEXT WAS BIANCA MALDONADO NAME AND ADDRESS FOR THE RECORD. YOU'LL HAVE SIX MINUTES. BIANCA MALDONADO RESIDE AT 4 57 CLUB DRIVE. THANKS. AND I THOUGHT I WOULD ONLY GET FOUR. THAT'S WHY I GOT SOMEBODY TO COME TODAY. SO [00:05:01] GENEROUS THAT Y'ALL GIVE THREE FOR EACH SPEAKER. UM, I CURRENTLY SERVE AS A COMMUNITY MEMBER ON PTAC, AND I'M COMING TO SPEAK IN OPPOSITION TO ONE OF THE RECOMMENDATIONS. WE ARE LOSING A P TAC MEMBER WHO REPRESENTS DISTRICT FIVE. UM, HE'S NOT BEING REAPPOINTED AS A COMMUNITY MEMBER. AND I CAN TELL YOU THAT THAT IS A, UH, A WEAKNESS OF P TAC IS THAT WE HAVE VERY FEW INDIVIDUALS FROM DISTRICT FIVE WHO ARE REPRESENTED. I BELIEVE THERE'S ONLY ONE OTHER WHO IS AN ALTERNATE, WHO'S NOT A PRIMARY AND COUNCIL PUT A DIRECTIVE TOWARDS, UH, THE PLANNING COMMISSION TO ENSURE THAT THERE'S DIVERSIFICATION AND REPRESENTATION CITYWIDE ON THAT PLANNING COMMISSION TECHNICAL ADVISORY COMMITTEE BECAUSE IT IS IMPORTANT THAT EVERY AREA OF OUR CITY IS REPRESENTED. I'M VERY THANKFUL FOR ALL THE FOLKS THAT I'VE WORKED WITH. MANY OF THEM I KNEW BEFORE I STARTED SERVING. I'M THANKFUL FOR THEIR QUALIFICATIONS AND THEIR EXPERIENCE FROM A PROFESSIONAL STANDPOINT THAT THEY BRING. IT'S INVALUABLE JUST AS THOSE PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCES ARE INVALUABLE TO PTAC. SO IS THE KNOWLEDGE OF PEOPLE FROM NEIGHBORHOODS, PEOPLE WHO KNOW THEIR COMMUNITY, WHO KNOW THE PEOPLE THAT LIVE NEXT DOOR TO THEM WHO ADVOCATE FOR THEIR COMMUNITY WITHOUT ANY TYPE OF FINANCIAL, UH, BENEFIT TO THEM. THAT IT'S NOT THEIR PROFESSION, IT'S THEIR PASSION TO ENSURE THAT THEIR NEIGHBORS ARE HEARD. AND IN AN AREA OF DISTRICT FIVE AND, AND ALSO ON THE EAST SIDE, WE STRUGGLE TO HAVE REPRESENTATIVES, UH, BE ON P TAC. AND I THINK THAT'S VERY IMPORTANT. ONE OF THE THINGS, IF YOU LOOK ON THE COVER PACKET THAT IT HAS, IT LABELED, UM, THIS INDIVIDUAL WHO WAS SEEKING REAPPOINTMENT AS A RESIDENT OF DISTRICT EIGHT. IF YOU GO DOWN INTO HIS PACKET, YOU WILL SEE HE'S ACTUALLY A RESIDENT OF DISTRICT FIVE. I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT THAT FACTUAL INFORMATION IS PRESENTED IN NOTICE TO THE PUBLIC. I THINK IT'S BECAUSE ALL TOO OFTEN WE SAW THAT THERE WERE A LOT OF REPRESENTATIVES FROM DISTRICT EIGHT AND NINE AND 10 ON THE NORTH SIDE. AND I'M, LIKE I SAID, I'M VERY THANKFUL FOR THE PROFESSIONAL REPRESENTATION, BUT JUST AS WE HAVE THOSE, THE NEIGHBORHOOD IS JUST AS CRITICAL. AND SO I ASK YOU TO NOT REAPPOINT THAT SECOND COMMUNITY POSITION AT THIS TIME. POTENTIALLY OPEN IT UP FOR RE FOR RE UM, FOR RECONSIDERATION FOR APPLICANTS, BECAUSE I THINK A PROFESSIONAL WHO LIVES IN DISTRICT EIGHT, TAKING THAT SEAT, IS UNDERMINING THE REPRESENTATION OF PEOPLE IN DISTRICT FIVE. I HOPE YOU AGREE WITH ME AND I JUST ASK YOU NOT TO APPOINT THAT SECOND, UH, POSITION. ASK FOR YOUR RECONSIDERATION TO GO BACK, ASK STAFF TO GO BACK AND RE ADVERTISE THAT, TO ENSURE THAT WE GET THE BEST DIVERSIFICATION. I KNOW WHEN THESE APPLICATIONS CLOSED, IT WAS DURING THE WEEK OF FIESTA, MAYBE NOT A TIME THAT A LOT OF PEOPLE WERE NOT ENGAGED. OUR LOCAL ELECTIONS EVEN SHOWED THAT. UM, I THINK WE NEED TO DO A BETTER JOB. AND I'M JUST ASKING FOR MORE TIME AND ADDITIONAL CONSIDERATION AND JUST ASK THAT YOU NOT TAKE ACTION ON THAT APPOINTEE. THANK YOU FOR CONSIDERATION OF MY COMMENTS AND THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE. THANK YOU. BIANCA. CAN I ASK STAFF TO PUT UP THE NAMES OF THE FOLKS IN THE POSITIONS THAT WERE, UH, CHOSEN BY THE NOMINATING COMMITTEE? AND THEY'RE PULLING THAT UP RIGHT NOW. THANK YOU. SO THIS IS PART OF WHAT WAS, UM, POSTED ONLINE WITH WHO THE NOMINATING COMMITTEE RECOMMENDED FOR PRIMARY AND ALTERNATES. I ALSO DO WANNA POINT OUT, UM, FULL TRANSPARENCY. THESE ARE THE PEOPLE THAT WILL, UM, SEE US THROUGH THE NEXT UDC CYCLE WITH THIS PTAC NOMINATION. SO IT'S GONNA BE QUITE A WORKLOAD THAT THEY'RE GONNA BE TAKING ON LAST UDC CYCLE, WE WERE DOING ABOUT ONE TO TWO MEETINGS A WEEK THAT WERE LASTING ANYWHERE FROM TWO TO FOUR HOURS. OKAY. ALL RIGHT. UM, THERE'S NOBODY SIGNED UP TO SPEAK ON THIS ITEM. NOBODY ELSE SIGNED UP TO SPEAK, SO WE'LL MOVE TO COMMISSIONER QUESTIONS. WE'LL START ON THE LEFT. COMMISSIONER LOPEZ? NONE AT THIS TIME. UM, I I JUST HAD A QUESTION I ABOUT THE SPEAKER WHO WAS UP HERE, WHO, WHO LIVES IN EIGHT THAT DOESN'T LIVE IN FIVE. IS THERE SOME THE RECOMMENDED INDIVIDUAL. OH, OKAY. ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU. I HAVE NO FURTHER QUESTIONS. NO QUESTIONS. UM, I HAVE A QUESTION. UM, UH, SOME OF THE APPLICANTS, UM, SOME OF THE SELECTED APPLICANTS ARE IN THE AUDIENCE TODAY, AND I BELIEVE THEY JUST HEARD YOU MENTION THAT DURING THE LAST ROUND OF UDC AMENDMENT, UM, CONSIDERATIONS THAT THERE WERE MEETINGS ONCE OR TWICE EACH WEEK FOR, UH, FIVE HOURS, TWO TO FOUR HOURS, JUST DEPENDING ON THE TOPIC. TWO TO EACH. SO I WOULD LIKE AT THIS TIME TO POSE THE QUESTION TO ANY OF THE CONS, UH, SELECTED APPLICANTS PRESENT IF THEY, UH, WOULD LIKE TO RECONSIDER THEIR APPLICATIONS WITH THAT KNOWLEDGE. THANK YOU. I DON'T HAVE ANY OTHER QUESTIONS. [00:10:01] UM, I HAVEN'T GOT THE CHANCE TO LOOK INTO THE NOMINEES, BUT, UH, CAN I SEE THE CHARTS FOR THE DISTRIBUTION OF THE DISTRICTS IN THE CITY WITH THE CURRENT, UH, APPLICANTS? GO BACK TO THE P SO WE HAVE ONE REPRESENTATIVES FROM DISTRICT ONE TO FIVE. SO JUST, JUST TO BE CLEAR, WHAT YOU'RE LOOKING AT IN THIS TABLE. THIS IS A SUMMARY OF THE APPLICANTS. THIS IS NOT A SUMMARY OF WHO THE NOMINATING COMMITTEE SELECTED. THIS IS A SUMMARY OF EVERYONE THAT WAS, THAT APPLIED FOR THE POSITIONS APPLIED, INCLUDING THE, THE ONE WITH THE CURRENT APPOINTMENT, CORRECT? YES. SO WHAT'S ON THE SCREEN WOULD INCLUDE THOSE THAT THE NOMINATING COMMITTEE SELECTED FOR APPOINTMENT TO THE TAC. OKAY. THANK YOU. OKAY. ANY FURTHER QUESTIONS? ANY FURTHER QUESTIONS FROM ANY OF THE COMMISSIONERS AT THIS TIME? OR IF NOT, WE'LL ENTERTAIN ANY SORT OF MOTION. I MOVE TO ACCEPT THE, UH, UH, UH, RECOMMENDING COMMITTEE'S, UH, RECOMMENDATIONS. OKAY. WE HAVE A MOTION FOR APPROVAL OF THE NOMINATING COMMITTEE'S RECOMMENDATION BY COMMISSIONER ORIAN. SECOND. SECOND BY COMMISSIONER SANCHEZ. STAFF, PLEASE DO A ROLL CALL. VOTE. COMMISSIONER ORIAN? YES. COMMISSIONER SANCHEZ? YES. COMMISSIONER ZUKI? YES. COMMISSIONER LOPEZ? YES. COMMISSIONER OLI? YES. COMMISSIONER BUSTAMANTE? NO. COMMISSIONER SIEGEL? YES. CHAIR PECK? YES. MOTION PASSES FOR APPROVAL. THANK YOU. CONGRATULATIONS TO EVERYBODY ON YOUR APPOINTMENT TO THE PC TCC. WE WILL SEE YOU SOON. OKAY. [Comprehensive Master Plan Amendments  ] UH, WE WILL NOW MOVE TO ITEM 13. GOOD AFTERNOON. MY NAME IS SAMANTHA BENAVIDEZ, PLANNER WITH DEVELOPMENT SERVICES. ITEM NUMBER 13 IS A REQUEST FOR APPROVAL OF A RESOLUTION TO AMEND THE SAN ANTONIO INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT VIC VICINITY LAND USE PLAN FROM NEIGHBORHOOD COMMERCIAL TO REGIONAL COMMERCIAL LOCATED AT 4 22 HEARTLINE DRIVE. THERE WERE 39 NOTICES MAILED ZERO IN FAVOR AND 10 OPPOSED. THERE IS NO REGISTERED NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATION WITHIN 200 FEET. THE APPLICANT SEEKS A PLAN AMENDMENT TO REGIONAL COMMERCIAL TO REZONE TO C3 AND A GENERAL COMMERCIAL NON-ALCOHOLIC SALES DISTRICT. THE SUBJECT PROPERTY IS LOCATED WITHIN AN AREA THAT IS PREDOMINANTLY NEIGHBORHOOD COMMERCIAL AND LOW DENSITY RESIDENTIAL WITH ESTABLISHED RESIDENTIAL USES MAKING THE PROPOSED REQUEST UNCHARACTERISTIC OF THE SURROUNDING AREA. REGIONAL COMMERCIAL IS TYPICALLY MEANT FOR LARGER PARCELS, 20 ACRES OR MORE TO SUPPORT BIG BOX COMMERCIAL DEVELOPMENTS TO SERVICE LARGER REGIONS. ALSO, THE PROPERTY IS LOCATED AT AN INTER AT THE INTERSECTION OF LOCAL STREETS, WHICH ARE NOT INTENDED TO ACCOMMODATE THE AMOUNT OF COMMERCIAL TRAFFIC THAT IS CHARACTERISTIC OF LARGER COMMERCIAL USES. STAFF RECOMMENDS DENIAL. THE APPLICANT IS PRESENT TO ANSWER ANY QUESTION AND QUESTIONS AND AS I UNDERSTAND IT, AMEND THE REQUEST TO COMMUNITY COMMERCIAL. THANK YOU. MM-HMM . THE APPLICANT LIKE TO APPROACH THE PODIUM NAME AND ADDRESS FOR THE RECORD, PLEASE. SURE. HI, UH, MY NAME IS ARNOLD URIBE. I AM THE OWNER AND, UH, PROPOSING TO REDUCE THIS, UH, THIS AREA, THIS ZONING FROM, UH, C3 TO TO C TWO TO HAVE IT LESS COMMERCIAL. THE PICTURES THAT YOU SAW THERE ARE OF A, A TENANT THAT RIGHT NOW IS DOING, WORKING FOR THE CITY THAT THEY SHOULD BE OUT HERE IN A COUPLE OF MONTHS. AND EVERYTHING IS GONNA GO BACK TO JUST THE, THE MECHANICAL. WHAT WE'RE SEEKING IS A VARIATION TO HAVE A MECHANICAL SHOP THERE. I'LL LET MY SON EXPLAIN BETTER 'CAUSE HE'S BEEN IN CHURCH WITH. SURE. HI, HOW'S IT GOING? THANK YOU. UM, YES. SO WE'RE DISCUSSING THE, UH, CHANGE IN ZONING. CAN YOU STATE YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS TOO, PLEASE? SORRY. UM, ALDO URIBE, UM, ARNOLD'S SON. AND THE ADDRESS IS 4 2 2 HEARTLINE DRIVE. AND, UM, YES. SO, YOU KNOW, I'VE GROWN UP, UM, IN THIS COMMUNITY, UH, MY WHOLE LIFE. AND OUR GOAL IS TO REZONE THIS PROPERTY AND, AND REDUCE IT TO A COMMERCIAL, UH, COMMUNITY, UH, COMMERCIAL ZONING SO THAT THE SMALL BUSINESS OWNER THAT IS THERE RIGHT NOW IS ABLE TO HAVE SPACE TO WORK FOR THEMSELVES AND, YOU KNOW, PUT FOOD ON THE TABLE. UM, WE'RE NOT COMMERCIAL DEVELOPERS AND WE'RE NOT PLANNING ON DOING, UM, YOU KNOW, ANY, UH, [00:15:01] EXTREME CHANGES TO THE ECOSYSTEM THAT ALREADY EXISTS THERE. THIS LOT IS ALMOST TWO ACRES AND, UM, IT BEST SERVES THIS PURPOSE TO REZONE IT, UM, FOR THE COMMUNITY AND, UM, FOR THE GENERAL SAFETY. UM, YOU KNOW, MY FATHER TOOK THE TIME YESTERDAY TO SPEAK TO SOME OF THE PEOPLE WHO HAD SIGNED THE OPPOSITION FORMED AND, UM, YOU KNOW, GENERALLY ADMITTED THAT WHOEVER WAS GATHERING SIGNATURES HAD MISREPRESENTED OUR GOAL IN GENERAL THERE. AND, UM, DIDN'T HAVE, UH, AN ISSUE WITH WHAT WAS GOING ON THERE. UM, YOU KNOW, I'M ASKING REALLY FOR HELP AND WE'RE ASKING YOU TO, UM, TO BE OUR NEIGHBOR AND PROVIDE A SAFE SPACE FOR THIS COMMUNITY. UM, BEFORE FINDING A QUALIFIED TENANT. THIS PROPERTY HAS BEEN REALLY DIFFICULT TO RENT OUT AS IT IS. AND, UM, THERE'S BEEN PROBABLY ABOUT 15 POLICE INCIDENTS THERE OF CRIME IN GENERAL. AND WITHOUT THE REZONING, THIS LOT WILL BECOME VACANT AGAIN. AND IF YOU'RE AS FAMILIAR WITH THE COMMUNITY AS, AS WE ARE, UM, THAT'S REALLY JUST, UH, REOPENING THE DOORS FOR, UH, CRIME DRUG USE AND, UM, THE UNDERSERVED VAGRANT COMMUNITY THAT IS THERE IN THAT AREA. AND SO ULTIMATELY, UM, YOU KNOW, WE'RE THERE TO RESPECT EVERYONE AND TO BE A FRIENDLY FACE THAT YOU CAN DRIVE BY AND RECOGNIZE AND, UM, FEEL SAFE THAT IT'S IN GOOD HANDS. AND I THINK THAT REZONING WILL HELP PROVIDE THAT. OKAY. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. THANK YOU. APPRECIATE IT. OKAY. WE WILL, UH, THERE'S NOBODY SIGNED UP TO SPEAK, SO WE'LL JUST MOVE ON TO COMMISSIONER QUESTIONS HERE. WE'LL START WITH COMMISSIONER ETTE WHO'S ON TV. NO QUESTIONS. GREAT. COMMISSIONER ZUKI, UM, WHO'S LEASING THIS PROPERTY AS OF NOW? YOU SPEAK OVER HERE? YEAH, PLEASE. YES. UM, SO RIGHT NOW, UM, THERE IS A COMPANY THAT IS HELPING THE CITY OF SAN ANTONIO WITH THE ZAMORA PROJECT. AND THAT'S THE PICTURES THAT YOU SEE WHERE THEY'RE HOLDING ALL THOSE, UH, LIGHT POLES AND THINGS LIKE THAT, UM, FOR THAT RECONSTRUCTION THERE. ON THE OTHER SIDE, UM, IS A MECHANIC. UM, NOW UNDER C3 WE WERE, UH, UNDERSTANDING THAT A MECHANIC COULD WORK THERE, BUT APPARENTLY SINCE HE WORKS ON LARGER VEHICLES LIKE, UH, VANS AND, AND, UH, BIGGER TRUCKS, UM, THAT SEEMS TO BE MORE OF THE ISSUE VERSUS THE, UM, THE TEMPORARY LEASE THAT, UH, OF JUST SPACE FOR STORAGE THAT THE, UM, YOU KNOW, EKNO BELCO IS THE BRAND OR THE COMPANY, I'M SORRY, THAT IS HIRED TO SORT OF FACILITATE THAT REMODELING OF THE ZAMAR PROJECT. OKAY. UH, UH, THERE ARE SEVERAL RESIDENTS THAT REALLY COMPLAINING ABOUT, YOU KNOW, THE BIG TRUCKS COMING IN AND OUT. SURE. AND, UH, I MEAN, TO BE HONEST, A LOT OF PEOPLE DON'T LIKE TO HAVE THIS TRUCKS NEXT DOOR TO THE RESIDENTIAL, TO THE EAST SIDE OF THE PROPERTY. MM-HMM . UH, UH, SO THAT'S, THAT'S THE CONCERN THAT WE WE'RE SEEING WITH THAT NOW, SO MM-HMM . UH, WE'RE NOT SURE IF, IF FUTURE, UH, TENANTS WOULD COME IN WITH A SIMILAR KIND OF ACTIVITIES. SURE. WE'RE ASKING FOR THIS, UH, LAND USE. SO HERE IS, HERE IS THE DILEMMA THAT, THAT, THAT I'M, I UNDERSTAND PERSONALLY IN RIGHT NOW MM-HMM . I THINK THE, THE MAIN ISSUE WITH WHAT WE'RE DOING RIGHT NOW AND, AND HOW THIS ALL ORIGINATED, THE, UH, I WOULD SAY 75% OF THE LAND ITSELF WAS ALREADY C3 AND THE VERY CORNER PART IS R FIVE. SO WHEN MY FATHER, UH, CHANGED THE SONY ABOUT 20 YEARS AGO, FOR WHATEVER REASON, A PORTION OF THIS LAND WAS LEFT AT R FIVE. AND SO THAT'S WHAT INITIALLY STARTED THIS COMPLAINT. NOW, LIKE I SAID, UM, THE STORAGE FROM THOSE LARGE TRUCKS THAT ARE DOING THE ZAMORA PROJECT IS VERY TEMPORARY. THEY SHOULD BE OUT BY OCTOBER IS WHAT THEY TOLD ME. UM, AND SO, UH, THAT BEING THE CASE, ALL OF THIS IS FOR, UH, THE MECHANIC TO STAY ON THAT OTHER SIDE. THAT WAS C3, SO HE CAN OPERATE HIS SMALL BUSINESS THERE. AND THAT WOULD BE THE ENTRANCE FROM, UH, ACTUALLY HEARTLINE AND NOT BOBBY LOU, WHICH IS THE FRONT ENTRANCE AND SURROUNDING THERE IS ALL COMMERCIAL. THERE'S, UH, COMMERCIAL VEHICLES IN THE LOT ACROSS FROM US TO THE, UH, LEFT OF US IF YOU'RE FACING IT IS ACTUALLY CITY OF SAN ANTONIO, WHICH HAS LIKE, UH, LARGE MACHINES AND DIFFERENT THINGS LIKE THAT, UH, THAT WE DON'T OWN AT ALL. AND SO IF YOU LOOK AT THAT POCKET, IF YOU WERE TO ZOOM OUT, YOU WOULD SEE THAT IT'S VERY INDUSTRIAL ALREADY AT THE MOMENT. SO I WOULD UNDERSTAND, UM, I GUESS THE, THE NEIGHBORS ON THAT RIGHT SIDE, THAT EAST SIDE THAT WOULD, UH, THAT SORT OF FACE THE PROPERTY, BUT THAT WILL BE REDUCED DRAMATICALLY. AND, AND THE EMPHASIS ON THIS IS SO DOES MECHANIC, SO THAT MECHANIC CAN WORK, UM, OUT OF THAT SPACE ON, ON THE, UH, WEST SIDE. OKAY. UH, QUESTION TO STAFF, IF, IF C TWO NA IS GRANTED THERE IS GONNA BE NEW SETBACKS CORRECT. [00:20:01] AND NEW SPECS FOR THE FENCE THAT BEING BUILT TO SEPARATE WITH THE RESIDENTIALS TO THE EAST SIDE? CORRECT. UM, WITH, WITH, UM, RECEIVING A C OF O AND ANY SITE, PLANT SITE WORK, THAT WOULD BE, THEY WOULD HAVE TO MAKE SURE THAT IT COMPLIES WITH THE SETBACKS, ANY LANDSCAPING, UM, FENCING, UM, WHATNOT. ALSO, WHAT THEY'RE POTENTIALLY GOING FOR IS A CONDITIONAL USE, UM, THAT EITHER COUNCIL OR THE ZONING COMMISSION CAN REQUEST CONDITIONS, ADDITIONAL CONDITIONS, UM, WITH DOWNWARD LIGHTING, UM, NOISE REDUCTION, ADDITIONAL ITEMS THAT CAN BE REGULATED BY THE CITY. UH, AS FAR AS I REMEMBER, AT LEAST THE FENCE WOULD BE DOUBLE THE HEIGHT. THE FENCE, UM, IS THEY'RE REQUIRED TO DO A SIX FOOT SOLID FENCE. THEY COULD GO UP TO EIGHT, UM, AS PER CODE IF THEY WERE TO GO ANY HIGHER THAN IT WOULD NEED TO BE, UH, GO TO THE BOARD OF ADJUSTMENT. I BELIEVE IT'S A SIX FOOT RIGHT NOW ALREADY. MM-HMM . OKAY. THANK YOU. NO FURTHER QUESTION. YES, THANK YOU COMMISSIONER SIEGEL. UM, SO, UH, I'M SURE YOU'RE AWARE OF SOME OF THE, UM, EMAILS THAT WERE SENT IN BY NEIGHBORS, UH, IN THE AREA STATING THAT THE LARGE TRUCKS THAT MOVE THROUGH THAT AREA ARE A NOISE NUISANCE AND THEY'VE DAMAGED THEIR PROPERTY, INCLUDING AN IN-GROUND ELECTRICAL VAULT. MM-HMM . AND, UM, SO, YOU KNOW, NOT ONLY IS STAFF SEEING THAT THE USE THAT THIS PROPERTY IS BEING PUT TO AND THE REQUESTED PLAN AMENDMENT ARE INAPPROPRIATE FOR THE AREA, BUT THE PEOPLE WHO ARE ACTUALLY EXPERIENCING THE CURRENT TENANTS ON THE GROUND ALSO FEEL THAT IT'S INAPPROPRIATE FOR THAT AREA. UM, AND IT'S CAUSING A NUISANCE FOR THE NEIGHBORS. MM-HMM . AND SO, UM, IT, WE ALSO LEARNED THAT, UM, THE CURRENT ZONING AND THE CURRENT USE ARE MISALIGNED. MM-HMM . UM, AND THEN LOOKING AT HISTORICAL MAP IMAGES, I'M SEEING LOTS OF VEHICLE STORAGE ON THE LOT. UM, AND, UM, AND THEN ALSO HAVING THE MECHANIC SHOP THERE TOO, IT SEEMS THAT THE TENANT MAY HAVE BEEN OPERATING WITHOUT A CERTIFICATE OF OCCUPANCY. I'M NOT SURE HOW LONG THAT'S BEEN GOING ON. SO HOW DO YOU, HOW DO YOU PLAN TO ADDRESS THE NEIGHBORS? HOW DO YOU PLAN TO, YOU KNOW, UM, WORK WITH THEM TO MAKE THIS OKAY, SURE, OF COURSE. UM, I THINK THE MOST IMPORTANT THING WOULD BE INFORMED. IT'S THE FIRST TIME I HEAR ABOUT THE ELECTRICAL ISSUE. OBVIOUSLY THAT WOULD BE A LARGE CONCERN FOR ME AS WELL. IF I LIVED THERE IN A RESIDENTIAL AREA, UM, TO BE MORE INFORMED ON THOSE MATTERS. I DON'T KNOW HOW WE WOULD, WE WOULD RECEIVE ANY OF THAT INFORMATION, UH, BEYOND THIS, I MEAN, AT, AT THE MOMENT IT'S JUST BEEN CITATIONS FOR ZONING. UM, SO BEING INFORMED ON THOSE MATTERS WOULD BE EXTREMELY HELPFUL IN TERMS OF, UH, TAKING ACTION ON THAT. LIKE I SAID, IN TERMS OF THAT ENTRANCE ON THAT SIDE, UM, WHERE THERE IS THE CLOSER RESIDENTIAL, UM, LIKE I SAID, THAT WOULD BE TEMPORARY AT THE MOMENT. UM, YOU KNOW, THE PROPERTY HAD BEEN VACANT FOR THREE YEARS AND THE PERSON THAT WAS PARKING THOSE VEHICLES, UH, BEFORE WAS, UM, I GUESS THEIR LEASE WAS ENDED BECAUSE OF WHAT BEGAN. IT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE, UH, FIRST LIGHT MECHANIC WORK THERE AND THEN THEIR VEHICLE USE GREW SO MUCH THAT WE HAD TO ASK THEM TO NOT BE THERE ANYMORE BECAUSE IT'S NOT APPROPRIATE FOR THE ZONING. SO WE'VE BEEN TRYING SINCE THEN TO TAKE ACTION TO PUT THE RIGHT PEOPLE IN THERE. FOR THE THREE YEARS THAT WE WERE, UM, EMPTY THERE, WE HAD SQUATTERS, WE HAD DRUG USE, WE HAD BREAK-INS, UM, AND IT'S A, YOU KNOW, A SMALL LITTLE BUILDING THERE. SO THAT WAS REALLY DIFFICULT TO MANAGE, UM, UNTIL WE FOUND ANOTHER MECHANIC WHO, UM, WAS GOING TO BE DOING WORK ON HIS OWN VEHICLES THERE. AND APPARENTLY, UM, I GUESS HE'S DOING SO WELL THAT HE'S HAD SOME OTHER VEHICLES. NOW. I KNOW THAT THE ISSUE IS, AGAIN, THE TRAFFIC OF THOSE LARGER VEHICLES MOVING. SO I DON'T BELIEVE THAT IT'S THE TRAFFIC OR THE USE THAT HE'S CREATING AS OPPOSED TO THE LARGER COMPANY THAT IS STORING THE LIGHT POLES AND ALL THOSE, UH, UH, REPAIR SYSTEMS FOR THIS, UH, LARGER PRO PROJECT HERE FOR THE CITY OF SAN ANTONIO. SO WITHOUT THEM BEING THERE AND LIKE I SAID, THEM LEAVING BY OCTOBER, UM, THE FOCUS WOULD JUST BE THE LIGHT MECHANICAL WORK WHICH WAS FITTING UNDER THE C3. UM, AND SO WE WEREN'T NECESSARILY IN THE WRONG ON THAT ZONING. OKAY. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. COMMISSIONER SANCHEZ, DID THE, UH, CURRENT USER OF THE CORNER PROPERTY, UM, FOR THE, UH, THE STREET CONSTRUCTION OR WHATEVER IT MIGHT BE, DID THEY PULL THE PERMITS WITH THE CITY AS FAR AS THE STAGING PERMIT? ALRIGHT, UM, THAT WOULD BE A QUESTION FOR THEM. UM, AS WHEN WE ORIGINALLY BEGAN WITH THEM, THERE WAS SUPPOSED TO BE JUST, UM, STORAGE OF THE EQUIPMENT THERE. WE WEREN'T MADE [00:25:01] AWARE OF, UH, MORE THAN ONE VEHICLE BEING THERE AT ALL. AND I MEAN, THOSE ARE, YOU KNOW, PRETTY IMPRESSIVE PICTURES. 'CAUSE IF YOU DRIVE BY ON ANY DAY, THERE'S ALMOST NO VEHICLE. SO I ASSUME THAT IN THE EVENING, MAYBE WHEN THEY'RE DONE WITH ALL THAT REPAIR IS, IS WHEN YOU, UH, WHEN YOU SEE A LITTLE BIT OF THAT TRAFFIC THERE ACCORDING TO THE INSPECTOR. AND WERE THEY USING THIS AS FAR AS, UM, A LAY DOWN AREA? IT LOOKS LIKE? 'CAUSE THERE'S, THERE'S, THERE'S SOME BUILDUP OF, OF SOILS THERE AND, AND SOME GRAVEL. UH, YES. IT DOES SEEM LIKE THEY WERE STORING THAT, THAT, UH, SOIL OR GRAVEL THERE. UM, MY FATHER HAD A COMMENT. YEAH. UH, APPARENTLY WHEN, WHEN, UH, WE HAD THE CODE COMPLIANCE COME, CAME BY, UH, THEY SAID THAT, THAT THE, UH, PEOPLE THAT WORKING FOR THE CITY, THEY HAD APPLIED FOR A PERMIT TO BE THERE. SO THE COMPLAINT WAS MAINLY ON THE MECHANIC WHO WAS DOING, WHO'S ALSO LIVING THERE WITH HIS WIFE AND SON. UH, THE COMPLAINT WAS A MECHANIC. NOW ABOUT THIS, UH, ELECTRICAL ISSUE THAT THE LADY WAS MENTIONING, MISS, MISS GEL, UH, IT HAPPENED, I THINK IT WAS FOR, FOR ANOTHER CITY, ANOTHER CITY TRUCK. ACCORDING TO WHAT I TALKED TO, TO THE NEIGHBOR YESTERDAY, IT WAS SOMETHING NOT RELATED TO THE, TO THE, UH, TO THE SPACE ITSELF. UH, THE MAIN OR THE BIGGEST TRAFFIC HAD BEEN THESE PEOPLE THAT ARE STORING THE STUFF, THEY'RE MOVING OUT HERE IN THE NEXT THREE MONTHS. THEY SAID, UH, AND ACCORDING TO THE, UH, INSPECTOR WHO CAME AND BY AND, AND, AND CAME BY AND CHECKED THE CODE COMPLIANCE, THEY, THE ONLY RESTRICTION THEY PUT WAS ON THE MECHANIC. THEY DIDN'T MAKE ANYTHING ON THE, ON THE PEOPLE THAT WAS, THAT, THAT'S WORKING FOR THE CITY. SO APPARENTLY THEY'RE COMPLIANT WITH WHAT THEY SAY. WE WERE NOT EXPECTING THEM TO PILE UP ANY SOIL. AND THEY WERE REMOVING IT YESTERDAY, UH, BECAUSE WE TOLD THEM ABOUT THAT, THAT, YOU KNOW, THEY, THEY WERE NOT SUPPOSED TO DO THAT. AND, UH, BUT THEY'RE, THEY'RE MOVING OUT HERE SOON. SO IT'S THE MECHANIC, MAINLY THE, THE ONE WHO, WHO WE WOULD LIKE FOR HIM TO OPERATE AND, AND THE OTHER PEOPLE ARE MOVING OUT. SO SINCE YOU YOU'RE CONFIDENT WITH THE NEW TENANT, WHAT ARE, DO YOU KNOW WHAT THEIR HOURS OF BUSINESS WOULD BE AND, AND WHAT, WHAT EXACTLY WOULD THEY BE WORKING ON? YES. UH, THEY WERE WORKING ON BOX TRUCKS, YOU KNOW, 24, 26 FOOTER BOX TRUCKS. THAT'S, THAT'S THEIR MAIN BUSINESS. THEY DO, UH, THEY REPAIR THE TYPE OF OF TRUCKS. UH, WE WENT AND WALKED WITH THE NEIGHBORHOODS YESTERDAY AND, UH, THEY HAVE, THEY HAVE, THEY WORK FROM LIKE EIGHT IN THE MORNING TILL ABOUT FIVE 30. SOMETIMES THEY STAY AT AS, AS LATE AS SIX OR SEVEN. YESTERDAY WE CAME IN AGREEMENT WITH THE PEOPLE THAT WE SAW THAT, YOU KNOW, IF THERE WAS SOMETHING THAT WE CAN DO TO MITIGATE WHATEVER CONCERN THEY HAVE OR ANY NUISANCE THAT THEY MIGHT HAVE. AND THEY SAID, WELL, IF YOU, IF YOU KNOW, IF YOU STOP WORKING AT 5 30, 6 O'CLOCK, WE SHOULD BE FINE. WE DON'T HAVE ANY, ANY RESTRICTION. THEY DIDN'T KNOW THAT WE'RE REDUCING THE LAND USE FROM C3 TO C TWO WITH A, WITH THE, UH, VARIANCE THAT, THAT WE'RE REQUESTING. AND MOST OF THEM, THEY THOUGHT THAT THEY WERE, WE WERE GONNA BUILD SOMETHING OR WHEN WE'RE GOING TO DO WAREHOUSES OR THEY, THEY WERE MISUNDERSTANDING THE WHOLE THING. EVEN THE, THE PERSON ACROSS THE STREET WHO COMPLAINED ABOUT, UH, THE BIG TRUCKS COMING IN. BUT, UH, YOU KNOW, THEY WERE PRETTY REASONABLE. THEY, THEY, YOU KNOW, THEY PRETTY MUCH, THEY WERE IN AGREEMENT FOR US. 'CAUSE WE HAD THE PROBLEM WITH SQUATTERS. AND FOR SUCH A LONG TIME IN THERE, WE CALL THE POLICE ABOUT 15 TIMES AND WE HAD A PROBLEM LEASING. WE FINALLY FIND SOMEONE WHO TAKES CARE OF THE PROPERTY AND KEEPS IT REALLY CLEAN AND HE LEAVES THERE, YOU KNOW, IT'S, IT'S A FAMILY. IT'S NOT LIKE A HUGE, HUGE COMPANY THAT DOES DOES STUFF. IT'S JUST AN INDIVIDUAL AND HIS FATHER AND THEY DO MECHANIC AND, UH, HE LIVES THERE WITH HIS WIFE AND KID. SO, NO FURTHER QUESTIONS. THANK YOU. SO MY QUESTION, UH, IS THAT THERE'S A LOT OF COMMERCIAL USE THAT GOES UP AND DOWN AUSTIN HIGHWAY. MY PROBLEM WITH THIS IS IT CREEPING A LITTLE BIT TOO FAR DOWN AWAY FROM THAT ESTABLISHED COMMERCIAL AREA INTO AN ESTABLISHED RESIDENTIAL AREA. HAVE, HAVE, COULDN'T YOU MAKE USE OF THIS BY PURSUING A CONDITIONAL DISTRICT ON THE R FIVE? JUST TO USE IT FOR LIKE PARKING OR SOME SORT OF SUPPORTING USE THAT THAT, THAT, THAT WOULDN'T NECESSARILY HAVE TO BE A, A C TWO OR C3. UM, PARKING IN, IN, IN, WHICH KIND OF WAY I AM SORRY. WELL, YOU CAN GET A COMMERCIAL, YOU CAN GET A CONDITIONAL USE ON R FIVE TO USE IT AS A PARKING LOT. UM, YOU KNOW, LIKE A C ONE OR AN OH ONE TYPE OF USE. IT DOESN'T HAVE TO GO FULL BLOWN C TWO OR C3 IF TO BE SOME SORT OF SUPPORTING, YOU KNOW, NON-RESIDENTIAL USE TO THE LARGER CHUNK OF LAND THAT'S ALREADY ZONED C3. SURE. AND SO I'M TEND TO, TO TO, TO HAVE THAT, HAVE THAT CREEP FURTHER INTO THE NEIGHBORHOOD, UM, FROM AUSTIN, FROM THE AUSTIN HIGHWAY, UH, CORRIDOR. SO THAT'S JUST, THAT'S JUST, I'M JUST LOOKING TO SEE HOW, IF THAT'S OF ANY USE TO YOU TO USE [00:30:01] THAT SMALL LITTLE CORNER PIECE, UH, THAT IS ZONED R FIVE AND PURSUE A CONDITIONAL USE ON THAT SO THAT YOU CAN ACHIEVE SOME SORT OF, UH, DEVELOPMENTAL GOAL. YEAH. UM, I THINK THE UNIFORMITY OF THE PROPERTY IS, IS A CONCERN, YOU KNOW, WITH THE SQUATTERS AT, AT ONE POINT THEY WERE TRYING TO CLINGING ONTO THAT RESIDENTIAL EVEN THOUGH THERE IS NO STRUCTURE THERE. AND SO THAT'S WHAT EVEN TOOK SO LONG TO BE ABLE TO FIGHT THAT. WELL, SO LET ME, SO WHAT ARE YOU TRYING TO PUT THERE, LIKE AT THAT HEART, AT THE ABSOLUTE HARD CORNER THAT'S OWNED OUR FIVE, WHAT WERE, WHAT ARE YOU TRYING TO PUT THERE? A BUILDING OR A PARKING LOT OR A BUFFER OR WHAT REALLY? ULTIMATELY THERE'S NOT A PLAN TO DO ANYTHING ELSE THERE OTHER THAN THE UNIFORMITY OF THE, OF THE SPACE ITSELF AND MORE. UM, I GUESS IT WOULD BE SORT OF A BUFFER BETWEEN THE SPACES. UM, OKAY. YEAH. ALRIGHT. THANK YOU. NO FURTHER QUESTIONS. NO QUESTIONS AT THIS TIME. NO QUESTION. THANK YOU. I DO NOT HAVE ANY SPECIFIC QUESTIONS. MOST OF THE QUESTIONS I HAD WERE, WERE ALREADY ASKED. UM, I ALSO JUST WANTED TO STATE, WHEN YOU WERE ASKING ABOUT NOTICES BEING SENT, THEY WERE SENT TO, UM, THE FATHER MS. THE APPLICANT. SO, SO JUST AWARE THAT THEY WERE SENT, EMAILED TO HIM WHEN SHE RECEIVED THE RESPONSES? YES. YEAH. THIS, IF I MAY, UH, YEAH, THAT'S, THAT'S HOW WE WENT. WE WENT AROUND AND ASKED THE, UH, THE NEIGHBORS. I'D LIKE TO STATE THAT THE, THE WHOLE, IF YOU SEE THE WHOLE PROPERTY, IT'S THE LESS A HUNDRED FEET THAT HARLEY HAD BEEN USING IN, WE'RE NOT PLANNING ON USING IT ACCORDING TO THE, UH, CODE COMPLIANCE INSPECTOR, HE SAID, YOU'LL BE BETTER OFF IF YOU CONVERT THAT PART TO, UH, TO A C TWO A C3. SO WE DON'T HAVE ANY COMPLAINTS. UH, BUT WE'RE NOT PLANNING ON USING THE CORNER OR DOING ANYTHING ELSE THERE. I MEAN, IF YOU SEE THE STRUCTURE, ALL THE PARKING IS TO THE NORTH OF THE STRUCTURE AND YOU CAN SEE ACROSS THE STREET AND THE NEIGHBOR NEXT DOOR, THEY'RE ALL BEING USED AS COMMERCIAL. EVEN THE, THE, THE, UH, THE, THE CUSTOMER ACROSS THE STREET WHO COMPLAINED, HE USES THAT. IF YOU CAN SEE THE BACK OF THE PROPERTIES, THEY'RE BEING USED AS COMMERCIAL AND THERE ARE FIVE. AND, UH, AND YOU KNOW, WE'RE, WHAT WE'RE TRYING TO DO IS JUST, YOU KNOW, KEEP OUR, OUR TENANT THERE AND LET HIM WORK AS A MECHANIC ON THE NORTHERN PART, WHICH IS, I THINK IT'S ALMOST LIKE ONE THIRD OF THE WHOLE, OF THE WHOLE, UH, UH, PROPERTY. THE REST OF THE SPACE IS GONNA, OF THE SPACE IS GONNA STAY, YOU KNOW, VACANT. HE DOESN'T NEEDED, AND WE JUST HAPPENED TO LEASE IT THIS TIME TO THE, TO THIS COMPANY THAT'S WORKING FOR THE CITY OF SAN ANTONIO. AND, UH, IT'S JUST A TEMPORARY THING. SO I GUESS YOU'RE SAYING THAT ALL THE VEHICLE STORAGE IS GONE, NOT, IT'S NOT GONNA BE THAT ANYMORE, CORRECT? CORRECT. IS THE VE WOULD VEHICLE STORAGE TO THAT LEVEL BE, UH, ALLOWED IN A COMMUNITY COMMERCIAL? GIMME ONE SECOND. I'M GONNA CHECK. WELL, WHEN YOU'RE SAYING VEHICLE STORAGE, THEY'RE TALKING ABOUT OVERSIZED VEHICLES. SO IT LIKE THE 18 WHEELER TRUCKS, UM, THAT IS NOT PERMITTED. UM, AGAIN, WHAT THEY'RE TRYING TO GO FOR IS A C TWO CD. THE CONDITIONAL USE IS FOR THE OVERSIZED STORAGE, VEHICLE STORAGE. UM, AS FOR REGULAR VEHICLE, LIKE YOUR TYPICAL COMMUTER CARS AND SMALL TRUCKS, UM, THOSE THAT USE, I'M SORRY, GIMME ONE SECOND. JUST CHECKING. UM, YEAH, THAT ALSO WOULD NEED TO BE A CONDITIONAL USE. 'CAUSE IT'S TYPICALLY AN INDUSTRIAL USE FOR THE LONG TERM STORAGE SLASH PARKING. UM, SO AGAIN, THEY WOULD HAVE TO DO THE DOWN ZONE TO THE C TWO BASED ZONING AND DO A CONDITIONAL USE FOR ONE OF THOSE INDUSTRIAL USES, WHICH IS DEFINITELY A ITEM THAT WOULD BE ALLOWED WITH THE COMMUNITY COMMERCIAL. BUT AGAIN, STAFF HAS JUST CONCERNS WITH IT. ABUTTING AS, UM, COMMISSIONER ORIAN ALSO STATED, YOU KNOW, THESE ARE LOCAL STREETS, SO I GUESS I'M A LITTLE CONFUSED THEN. UM, THE ASK IS FOR C TWO NA WITH A CONDITIONAL USE FOR VEHICLE OVERSIZED VEHICLE STORAGE. THEIR ORIGINAL REQUEST WAS FOR C3. SO THAT WAS WHY THE REGIONAL COMMERCIAL, UM, PLAN AMENDMENT. YEP. AND NOW, UM, THEY HAVE NOTIFIED THAT THEY WANT TO GO FOR C TWO CD, WHICH WOULD REQUIRE COMMUNITY COMMERCIAL AND, AND THE CD. AND THE CD IS CONDITIONAL USE FOR OVERSIZED VEHICLE STORAGE. CORRECT. I THOUGHT YOU SAID IT WAS JUST GONNA BE MECHANIC. YES. I MEAN, MOST IMPORTANTLY, UM, IT'LL BE MECHANIC ON THE LARGE, [00:35:01] ON THE LARGE TRUCKS ON THE NORTH SIDE, BUT IT'LL BE A, THERE'LL BE MECHANIC WORKS ON THE LARGE TRUCKS, CORRECT. ON, ON THE VANS NOT 18 WHEELERS OR, YOU KNOW, VEHICLES OF, OF THAT SORT RIGHT NOW. UM, I FEEL LIKE IF, SINCE WE'RE LOOKING AT IT THIS WAY, I'M, I'M REFERRING TO NORTH AS THE TOP AND SOUTH AS THE BOTTOM. UM, THE SOUTH BEING THE ISSUE WHERE THE, UM, THE LARGE COMMERCIAL CONSTRUCTION TRUCKS ARE BEING CORRECT, BUT YOU CAN'T EVEN DO THE LARGE COMMERCIAL TRUCKS ON THE C3 PROPERTY. SO THE WHOLE PROPERTY WOULD HAVE TO BE REZONED AS SAMANTHA HAS MENTIONED. YES. SO AGAIN, THEY WOULD NEED THE COMMERCIAL, THE, THE USE WOULD BE OVERSIZED VEHICLES, SERVICE AND STORAGE. AND AGAIN, IT WOULD BE THE LARGE TRUCKS OR ANYTHING THAT'S OVERSIZED DIFFERENT TYPICALLY FROM YOUR REGULAR VEHICLES OR, UH, SMALL TRUCKS. WHEN YOU SAY SMALL TRUCKS, YOU'RE NOT TALKING LIKE, LIKE YOU WERE SAYING, DELIVERY VEHICLES, RIGHT? LIKE THE BOX TYPE TRUCKS? YEAH. YEAH. BOX TRUCKS ARE CONSIDERED AN OVERSIZED VEHICLE. VEHICLE. MM-HMM . OKAY. UM, ALL OF THIS IS GOING OFF OF RECOMMENDATION. UM, YOU KNOW, WE'RE HERE TO COMPLY TO MAKE WHATEVER CHANGES ARE NECESSARY TO BE ABLE TO MAKE USE OF WHAT IS ALMOST TWO ACRES THAT DOESN'T REALLY SERVE MUCH OTHER PURPOSE. UM, YOU KNOW, AGAIN, UNDER THAT C3, UM, WE'VE SEEN THAT, THAT THAT COULD BE, UH, AN IN AND OUT MECHANIC, NOT LONG-TERM STORAGE. AND SO THAT WAS OUR INITIAL PURPOSE FOR THAT. IN TERMS OF THE STORAGE, I DO THINK IT, IT SEEMINGLY GOT OUTTA HAND, BUT, UM, THAT WASN'T SOMETHING THAT WE PLANNED FOR AND IS, UH, TEMPORARY. IT WAS INITIALLY FOR A SIX MONTH USE. UM, SO, UM, AS FAR AS THAT GOES, AGAIN, THAT'S NOT SOMETHING THAT WE'RE LOOKING TO DO IN THE FUTURE. UM, AND SINCE HE WASN'T IN AND OUT MECHANIC AND, AND STILL IS AND THAT, THAT'S WHAT WE WERE HOPING TO ACHIEVE HERE, BUT ULTIMATELY IT WAS BROUGHT TO, UH, OUR AWARENESS OF THAT CORNER STILL BEING R FIVE, WHICH IS WHY WE INITIALLY THOUGHT OF MAKING IT UNIFORMLY C3 AND NOW OFF OF ALL THESE RECOMMENDATIONS, WE'RE JUST TRYING TO SQUARE EVERYTHING UP TO MAKE THIS, YOU KNOW, UM, TO CODE. YEAH. OKAY. I DON'T HAVE ANY OTHER QUESTIONS. ANY OTHER COMMISSIONER QUESTIONS? COMMENTS OR MOTIONS? YEAH, I HAVE A ONE QUESTION. SO THIS THE, THE NEIGHBORHOOD COMMERCIAL, WHAT, WHAT CAN YOU DO WITH THAT? UM, NEIGHBORHOOD COMMERCIAL DOES ALLOW NC AND C ONE USES. UM, SO THOSE ARE BASIC COMMERCIAL, SMALLER, UH, LIGHTER INTENSE COMMERCIAL USES THAT, UM, ARE BETTER SUITED FOR LOCAL STREETS, UH, WITHIN PROXIMITY TO ESTABLISHED RESIDENTIAL NEIGHBORHOODS THAT CAN OFFER SERVICES WITHIN SMALLER AREAS. COMMUNITY, COMMERCIAL. WHAT'S THE MOST INTENSE USE YOU CAN DO WITH THAT? WELL, IT WOULD GO UP TO C TWO AND THEN WITH THE C TWO THEY COULD GET A CONDITIONAL USE FOR C3 IF THEY WANTED TO EXTEND THEM. THE CONDITIONAL USE FOR INDUSTRIAL USES? CORRECT. SO, OKAY. I MEAN, I, I THINK THAT, UM, YOU KNOW, A COMMUNITY COMMERCIAL MIGHT BE THE WAY TO DO IT SO THAT HE HAS SOME FLEXIBILITY WHEN HE GOES TO THE ZONING COMMISSION, BUT I, I JUST, I WOULDN'T BE IN SUPPORT OF A REGIONAL COMMERCIAL. SO JUST PUTTING THAT OUT THERE. OKAY. ANY OTHER COMMISSIONER COMMENTS, QUESTIONS, MOTIONS. AND I'M SORRY, DID, DID THE APPLICANT AMEND THEIR REQUEST TO COMMUNITY COMMERCIAL OR IS THAT, UM, CAN YOU PLEASE CONFIRM THAT YOU ARE AMENDING TO COMMUNITY COMMERCIAL? YES. THANK YOU. OKAY. ANYTHING ELSE ENTERTAIN A MOTION? I MOVE TO APPROVE, UH, THE CASE FOR COMMUNITY COMMERCIAL. I HAVE A MOTION TO APPROVE THE PLAN AMENDMENT TO COMMUNITY COMMERCIAL AS AMENDED BY THE APPLICANT.
