UM, OUR NEIGHBORHOOD HAS BEEN DEALING WITH SERIOUS ISSUES STEMMING FROM THIS BAR, INCLUDING LOUD MUSIC OVER-SERVING OF ALCOHOL AND THE AGGRESSIVE BEHAVIOR THAT THAT FOSTERS. THESE CONDITIONS HAVE REPEATEDLY LED TO DISORDERLY CONDUCT VIOLENCE, AND EVEN A TRAGIC MURDER JUST STEPS FROM OUR HOMES BEYOND THE PUBLIC SAFETY RISKS. THIS REZONING DIRECTLY UNDERMINES THE INTEGRITY OF OUR HISTORIC DISTRICT, SOMETHING THE CITY HAS FORMERLY RECOGNIZED, AND THAT THE RESIDENTS WORK HARD TO PRESERVE. ALLOWING THIS REZONING PRIORITIZES BUSINESS INTERESTS OVER THE SAFETY AND WELLBEING OF RESIDENTS AND ERODES THE CHARM OF OUR COMMUNITY. WE URGE THE CITY TO STAND WITH RESIDENTS, NOT BUSINESSES AND DENY THIS REZONING REQUEST. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR TIME AND CONSIDERATION. HAVE A GOOD DAY. HI, MY NAME IS GREG ROSS CARLSON AND I LIVE BADGE FOUR FIVE NINE EAST FRENCH PLACE. MY PHONE NUMBER IS (210) 289-4163 AND I'M CALLING IN OPPOSITION TO ZONING CASE 1 6 5 AT FOUR 19 EAST FRENCH PLACE.

MY NAME IS GILBERT CASTILLO. I LIVE AT FOUR FOUR SEVEN EAST FRENCH. MY PHONE NUMBER IS (210) 363-7110. AND YES, OF COURSE I OPPOSE THIS. I DO NOT WANT THE GENTLEMAN THAT OWNS BREATH MONKEYS TO [00:20:02] ALLOW FOUR 19 BE THREATEN TO BECOME PART OF HIS BAR BECAUSE THAT MAN HAS NO RESPECT FOR THIS NEIGHBORHOOD OR THIS STREET. HE'S ALREADY THREATENED PEOPLE'S LIFE. HE, HE THREATENED MY LIFE THAT IF I GIVE HIM ANY PROBLEMS, SHE'LL HAVE ME KILLED OR HAVE HIS GOONS COME DOWN THERE AND BEAT ME UP. I HAVE WHAT I HAVE TOO BE I WASN'T ABLE TO RECORD IT. BUT YES, HE HAS THREATENED MY LIFE. OTHER PEOPLE THAT LIVED ON THE STREET HAVE LEFT BECAUSE HE'S GIVEN THEM SUCH A HARD TIME. THERE'S A FEW PEOPLE ON THE STREET THAT ACTUALLY MOVED AWAY BECAUSE OF THAT. UH, YES, HIM AND HIS, UH, MARK AND HIS WIFE, I THINK THAT'S HIS NAME, MARK . YEAH, HIM AND HIS WIFE ARE VERY RUDE TO THE PEOPLE THAT LIVE ON THIS STREET ON EAST FRENCH STREET OF 400 BLOCKS. BUT YES, PLEASE DO NOT LET HIM OPEN THAT PLACE AT THE BAR BECAUSE HIS PATRON, WE BLOCK OFF OUR STREET BECAUSE OF THE, THIS REASON THEY URINATE, THEY DEPRECATE OR NUMBER TWO ON PEOPLE'S LAWNS. THEY'LL SIT ON PEOPLE'S PORCHES TWO, THREE O'CLOCK IN THE MORNING EATING THEIR TAKEOUT FOOD, LEAVING ALL THE TRASH ON PEOPLE'S LAWNS. THEY URINATE ALL OVER THE SIDEWALK. THEY COME DOWN AND THROW UP ALL OVER THE STREET BECAUSE THEY'RE SO DRUNK. AND THAT'S ANOTHER THING, HE'S OVER SERVING THESE PEOPLE.

AND I'M CALLING IN OPPOSITION TO THE ZONING CASE NUMBER 1 65 AT FOUR 19 EAST FRENCH PLACE. UM, THIS IS IN REGARDS TO THE APPLICANT WANTING TO TURN FOUR 19 INTO A BAR NIGHTCLUB. UM, ESSENTIALLY TO EXPAND BRAS MONKEY. UM, AGAIN, MY NAME'S KIMBERLY LEHMAN AND I'M JUST CALLING IN OPPOSITION TO SONY CASE 1 6 5. THANK YOU. THIS IS MARIA LEHMAN. I LIVE AT FOUR FOUR TWO EAST FRENCH PLACE. MY PHONE NUMBER IS (210) 286-5324. I'M CALLING IN OPPOSITION TO ZONING. CASE NUMBER 1 6 5 AT 4 1 9 EAST FRENCH PLACE. THANK YOU. MY NAME IS PAUL CARL FRANKLIN. I LIVE AT FOUR FOUR SIX EAST FRENCH PLACE. MY PHONE NUMBER IS (210) 383-1671. I'M CALLING IN OPPOSITION TO ZONING CASE NUMBER 1 6 5 AT 4 1 9 EAST FRENCH PLACE. THIS HOME SITS ON A HISTORIC RESIDENTIAL STREET, REZONING IT TO COMMERCIAL USE. WOULD REDU WOULD REDUCE MUCH NEEDED HOUSING, WHICH IS ALREADY DISAPPEARING IN OUR CITY. THE NIGHTCLUB OWNER CLAIMED THE HOUSE WAS FOR A FAMILY MEMBER, BUT NOW HE'S SEEKING TO REZONE IT TO EXPAND HIS BUSINESS. I UNDERSTAND HE INTENDS TO CREATE A LARGE OUTDOOR ENTERTAINMENT AREA CONNECTING THE NIGHTCLUB TO HIS HOUSE. OUR STREET ALREADY STRUGGLES WITH THE IMPACTS OF MORE THAN 20 BARS. WE DEAL WITH NOISE, TRASH AND POOR SANITATION. THERE'S A LEAKY DUMPSTER THAT SENDS SEWAGE DOWN THE STREET AND A LACK OF RESTROOMS HAS LED TO PUBLIC URINATION. WE'RE ALSO SEEING MORE TRESPASSING AND OTHER VICE RELATED ISSUES AS INTOXICATED PATRONS WANDER OFF THE ENTERTAINMENT STRIP ONTO OUR PROPERTIES. VISITORS IGNORE PAID BARKING AND CLOG RESIDENTIAL SPACES. ADDING ANOTHER BAR WOULD ONLY ATTRACT MORE CROWDS OFF OLD, OFTEN PEOPLE LOOKING FOR A CHEAP NIGHT OUT WITH LITTLE REGARD FOR OUR NEIGHBORHOOD, THIS EXPANSION WOULD INCREASE THE NUISANCE AND FURTHER ERODE QUALITY OF LIFE. PLEASE DENY THIS ZONING REQUEST. THANK YOU. HI, MY NAME IS PAULINE ADA. I'M ALSO CALLING ON BEHALF OF MY HUSBAND SHANE FORDIS. WE LIVE AT, UH, FOUR FOUR STREET EAST FRENCH PLACE. MY PHONE NUMBER IS (210) 379-0413 AND I'M CALLING IN OPPOSITION TO YOUR ZONING CASE NUMBER 1 6 5 AT FOUR 19 EAST FRENCH PLACE. UM, I ALSO WANT TO ADD THAT I USED TO RECEIVE NOTICES ABOUT, UH, CHANGES IN ZONING AND SO FORTH ALONG NORTH ST. MARY'S AND IT USED TO BE FOR 300 FEET AND NOW FOR SOME REASON IT HAS BEEN REDUCED TO 200. IF MY WALLS ARE, UH, SHAKING BECAUSE OF THE AMOUNT OF NOISE THAT HAPPENS ALONG NORTH ST. MARY'S, I THINK THAT I SHOULD BE INCLUDED WITHIN, UH, 300 FEET OF ALL THE BUSINESSES ALONG THAT CORRIDOR, WHICH ALSO, BY THE WAY, IS NOT AN ENTERTAINMENT DISTRICT. I APPRECIATE YOU, UH, TAKING NOTE OF MY OPPOSITION TO ZONING CASE NUMBER 1 6 5. THANK YOU AND HAVE A GOOD DAY. HI, MY NAME IS RUTHIE EDMONDSON. I LIVE AT 4 62 EAST FRENCH PLACE, SAN ANTONIO SEVEN EIGHT TWO ONE TWO. MY PHONE NUMBER IS (703) 705-8116. I'M CALLING IN OPPOSITION TO ZONING CASE. UH, NUMBER 1 6 5 EAST FRENCH PLACE. THANK YOU. HI, MY NAME IS SAM AGUIRE. I'M A RESIDENT AT, UH, 400 BLOCK OF EAST FRENCH PLACE. I OWN PROPERTIES AT 4 56 SLASH 4 58 4 62, [00:30:03] AND 4 66 EAST FRENCH PLACE. I'M CALLING IN OPPOSITION TO CASE NUMBER ENDING IN 1 6 5. THE PROPERTY ADDRESS FOR THE ZONING REQUEST IS FOUR 19 EAST FRENCH PLACE. UH, THIS ZONING REQUEST IS ASSOCIATED WITH, UH, A BAR KNOWN AS THE BRASS MONKEY, THE BRASS MONKEY, UH, ADJACENT TO THE PROPERTY. THIS BUSINESS HAS BEEN A NUISANCE SINCE IT'S OPENING IN THE MID 2010S. UH, WE'VE HAD NOTHING BUT CONSTANT STRUGGLES, UH, WITH THIS BUSINESS SINCE IT OPENED. RANGING FROM PARKING ISSUES, UM, PATRONS URINATING ON OUR FRONT LAWNS, VOMITING IN OUR FRONT YARDS ON THE STREETS, SIDEWALKS LEAVING, UH, TRASH BEER BOTTLES, BEER CANS, CONDOMS IN OUR IN THE STREET AND IN OUR FRONT YARDS. UH, SEX ACTS BEING PERFORMED IN OUR YARDS AND ON THE STREETS AND VEHICLES, UH, PATRONS PASSING OUT IN OUR, ON OUR LAWNS AND FRONT PORCHES, ALSO KNOCKING WHILE INTOXICATED ON FRONT DOORS AT TWO IN THE MORNING AND LATER, WHICH IS INCREDIBLY DANGEROUS AND SCARY IF YOU ARE A RESIDENT AND YOU HAVE A DRUNK PATRON KNOCKING ON YOUR DOOR. UH, WE'VE EVEN HAD RESIDENTS WITH DRUNK PATRONS IN THEIR BACKYARD KNOCKING ON DOORS. UM, LOUD MUSIC FROM VEHICLES IS UNBEARABLE AT ALL HOURS OF THE NIGHT. HI, MY NAME IS SEVEN AGUIRE. I LIVE AT FOUR SIXTY SIX EAST FRENCH PLACE. MY PHONE NUMBER IS (210) 896-6504 AND I'M CALLING IN OPPOSITION TO ZONING CASE. HASHTAG 1 6 5 AT 4 1 9 EAST FRENCH PLACE. THANK YOU. HI, MY NAME IS SKYLAR VAUGHN AND I OWN 4 27 EAST FRENCH PLACE AND MY PHONE NUMBER IS (254) 396-0043. THESE ARE MY UPDATED COMMENTS AND OPPOSITION TO ZONING CASE NUMBER 1 65 AT 4 1 9 EAST FRENCH PLACE. OUR NEIGHBORHOOD HAS EXPERIENCED YEARS OF ESCALATING, OF ESCALATING PUBLIC SAFETY AND QUALITY OF LIFE ISSUES TIED TO THE OVER CONCENTRATION OF LATE NIGHT ENTERTAINMENT VENUES NEARBY. WE REGULARLY DEAL WITH EXCESSIVELY LOUD MUSIC AND BASS WELL PAST LEGAL LIMITS, AND WE'VE SEEN NUMEROUS INSTANCES OF PUBLIC INTOXICATION AND OVER SERVICE THAT HAVE BLED DESTRUCTIVE AND EVEN DANGEROUS BEHAVIOR ON OUR DOORSTEP. OVER THE YEARS, WE'VE WITNESSED DRUNK DRIVERS CRASHING INTO CARS AND PROPERTY, PEOPLE FIGHTING IN THE STREET, FIREARMS BEING DISCHARGED, INDIVIDUALS VOMITING, URINATING, AND DEFECATING IN OUR YARDS AND PUBLIC SEX ACTS OCCURRING IN PLAIN SIGHT. THESE ARE NOT ISOLATED EVENTS, THEY'RE REGULAR INTRUSIONS ON OUR LIVES AND SAFETY. THIS LAST MONTH THERE WAS A STABBING INCIDENT INVOLVING THREE PEOPLE, ONLY A FEW DOORS DOWN. THESE KINDS OF VIOLENT EPISODES ARE TERRIFYING AND UNACCEPTABLE IN ANY RESIDENTIAL SETTING TO MAKE IT IMPOSSIBLE TO FEEL SAFE IN OUR OWN HOMES. AND NOW WITH THIS PROPOSED ZONING CHANGE, THERE'S A REAL THREAT THAT THIS ENVIRONMENT WILL EXPAND EVEN CLOSER INTO OUR NEIGHBORHOOD. THIS PROPERTY IS NOT A VACANT COMMERCIAL LOT, IT'S A RESIDENTIAL HOME ON A HISTORIC STREET SURROUNDED BY FAMILIES. CONVERTING IT TO BAR USE WOULD EFFECTIVELY SHIFT THE BOUNDARY OF THE BAR DISTRICT ONTO OUR BLOCK AND ERODE THE PURPOSE OF ZONING ALTOGETHER. OUR STREET HAS A HISTORIC DESIGNATION FOR A REASON. RESIDENTS HAVE WORKED HARD TO MAINTAIN THE ARCHITECTURAL AND CULTURAL INTEGRITY OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD. ALLOWING NIGHTLIFE EXPANSION HERE IS COMPLETELY INCOMPATIBLE WITH THE PRESERVATION GOALS OF THE CITY OF SAN ANTONIO CLAIMS TO SUPPORT. WE UNDERSTAND THAT BARS CONTRIBUTE TO THE CITY'S ECONOMY AND NIGHTLIFE, BUT THERE MUST BE LIMITS, ESPECIALLY WHEN THOSE BENEFITS COME AT THE EXPENSE OF COMMUNITY SAFETY, PEACE AND LIABILITY. I RESPECTFULLY URGED THE COMMISSION TO DENY THE ZONING REQUEST AND PROTECT HISTORIC NEIGHBORHOODS FROM FURTHER COMMERCIAL ENCROACHMENT. THANK YOU. HI, UM, THIS IS SUZANNE AGIRI, AKA RODRIGUEZ. I LIVE AT FOUR SIXTY SIX EAST FRENCH PLACE. MY PHONE NUMBER IS TWO TEN TWO SEVEN NINE EIGHT FIVE THREE ONE AND I'M CALLING IN OPPOSITION TO ZONING CASE NUMBER 1 65 AT FOUR 19 EAST FRENCH PLACE. THANK YOU. MY NAME IS MARY OLIVAREZ. I LIVE AT FOUR FIVE FOUR EAST FRENCH PLACE. MY PHONE NUMBER IS SEVEN THREE FIVE FIVE FOUR SIX SIX. I'M CALLING IN OPPOSITION TO ZONING. CASE NUMBER 1 6 5 AT FOUR 19 [00:35:01] EAST FRENCH PLACE. THANK YOU. HI, MY NAME IS CINDY PENA AND I LIVE ON 4 7 1 EAST FRENCH PLACE. I'M CALLING TO EXPRESS MY, MY STRONG OPPOSITION TO THE ZONING CASE NUMBER 1 6 5, WHICH WOULD ALLOW BEING EAST FRENCH PLACE BE TURNED INTO A BAR OR A PARENT. AND, UH, THE PROPOSED FREE ZONING WOULD NEGATIVELY IMPACT THE PIECE, THE SAFETY AND THE RESIDENTIAL CHARACTER OF OUR NEIGHBORHOOD. UM, AS IT IS, WE'VE ALREADY BEEN DEALING WITH THE INCREASED NOISE, TRAFFIC AND LATE NIGHT ACTIVITY AND IT JUST MAKES IT A LOT MORE CONCERNING FOR US THAT THAT LIVE HERE ON THIS BLOCK. UM, WE, I'M DEFINITELY CALLING IN BECAUSE THIS IS ONE OF THE BIGGEST CONCERNS FOR ME IS THE SAFETY OF OUR FAMILIES AND OUR LONGTIME RESIDENTS. THERE'S SOME OLDER RESIDENTS ON THIS BLOCK AS WELL AS MY, MY MOTHER WHO IS IN OR HER SEVENTIES. UM, AND ALSO ABOUT A FEW YEARS AGO, MY BROTHER GOT JUMPED RIGHT OUTSIDE OF OUR HOME. SINCE THEN, WE STARTED INSTALLING CAMERAS. WE HAVE, UM, WE PUT OUT OUR TRASH, UM, OUR, OUR TRASH BINS IN ORDER TO PREVENT PEOPLE FROM PARKING THERE. AND SO WE JUST WANT TO BRING AWARENESS TO THE SAFETY OF THIS NEIGHBORHOOD AND ADDING ANOTHER BAR IN ANOTHER, YOU KNOW, COUPLE OF PEOPLE THAT ARE, THAT ARE DRUNK AND UNRULY IS GONNA HIGHLY IMPACT THIS, THIS NEIGHBORHOOD. SO I REALLY STRONGLY URGE YOU TO NOT APPROVE THIS REZONING, UM, BECAUSE IT'S GONNA BE SOMETHING THAT'S GONNA REALLY NEGATIVELY AFFECT NOT ONLY ME, BUT ALL OF OUR NEIGHBORS. UM, SO PLEASE DO NOT APPROVE IT. UM, THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME AND CONSIDERATION. MY PHONE NUMBER IS TWO ONE ZERO THREE SIX SEVEN FIFTY FIVE EIGHTY SIX EIGHT. HI, MY NAME IS JORDAN LANDIS.

IF WE COULD PLEASE HAVE OUR FIRST SPEAKER AND A REMINDER FOR SPEAKERS IF YOU WANT TO GIVE YOUR TIME TO ANOTHER SPEAKER UP TO A TOTAL OF SIX MINUTES. YOU MUST GIVE THAT TIME BEFORE THAT PERSON BEGINS TO SPEAK, PLEASE. OKAY, THANK YOU. GREG RICE GEORGE GEORGE RICE. GEORGE RICE . HELLO, UH, THANK YOU FOR THE OPPORTUNITY TO SPEAK TO YOU THIS AFTERNOON. UH, MY NAME IS GEORGE RICE AND I LIVE AT FOUR 14 EAST FRENCH. THAT'S DIRECTLY ACROSS THE STREET FROM THE BRASS MONKEY AND CADDY CORNER TO THE HOUSE THAT FOR WHICH THE ZONING IS BEING REQUESTED. UH, OUR NEIGHBORHOOD IS A LITTLE OVER A HUNDRED YEARS OLD. I'VE LIVED THERE FOR 29 YEARS AND I'VE KNOWN MARK THE OWNER OF THE BRASS MONKEY FOR EIGHT YEARS OR SO. I GUESS, UNLIKE ALMOST ALL OF MY NEIGHBORS, I I THINK MARK IS A GOOD GUY, . I HAVE SEEN HIM GO PRETTY FAR OUT OF HIS WAY TO HELP, UH, PEOPLE IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD. HOWEVER, I STILL OPPOSE THIS REZONING. I HAVE TWO REASONS FOR OPPOSING IT. UH, ONE IS THE NOISE. UH, THERE ARE FOUR BARS WITHIN ONE BLOCK OF MY HOUSE AND IT GETS PRETTY NOISY, ESPECIALLY AROUND ONE OR TWO O'CLOCK IN THE MORNING, WHAT MARK IS PROPOSING TO DO WITH ONLY INCREASE THAT NOISE PROBLEM. MORE IMPORTANTLY THOUGH, I'M OPPOSED TO CONVERTING RESIDENTIAL PROPERTY TO COMMERCIAL PROPERTY. WE WANT TO [00:40:01] LIVE NEXT TO NEIGHBORS, NOT BUSINESSES. I BELIEVE THAT THIS REZONING WOULD SET A BAD PRECEDENT AND THAT'S WHY I HOPE THAT YOU WILL VOTE AGAINST IT. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. MR. RICE. NEXT PLEASE. MARY OLIVAREZ. MS. OLIVAREZ? YEAH, BUT I WASN'T GONNA SPEAK. OKAY. UH, DID SHE LEAVE A VOICEMAIL? NO. OKAY. WE SHOULD DO THAT. UH, MS. OLIVAS, DO YOU WANNA GIVE YOUR TIME TO SOMEONE? ANYONE WANT A COUPLE OF EXTRA MINUTES? HER VOICEMAIL WAS PLAYED. HER VOICEMAIL WAS PLAYED. I THOUGHT IT WAS OKAY. SORRY ABOUT THAT. WASN'T MARK THEN HERE, NO ONE GETS HER TIME, BUT NEXT SPEAKER, PLEASE. GILBERT PERALES. MR. PERALES, IF YOU'D SAY YOUR NAME AND YOUR ADDRESS PLEASE. SIR GILBERT PERALES, UH, 4 35 EAST FRENCH PLACE. UH, I WANNA THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME AND, UH, YOU KNOW, YOU'VE HEARD PRETTY MUCH EVERYTHING THAT NEEDS TO BE SAID. YOU KNOW, IT'S ABOUT QUALITY OF LIFE. I THINK ONE OF THE THINGS THAT YOU HAVE TO UNDERSTAND ABOUT THAT NEIGHBORHOOD IS UNLIKE OTHERS, UH, THERE'S TWO STREETS, VALEZ AND, UH, EAST FRENCH PLACE, AND IT JUST MAKES A U SO ANYBODY THAT GOES IN THERE HAS TO COME OUT THE OTHER SIDE. UH, THEY TYPICALLY COME OUT REALLY DRUNK. I HAVE A, A, A NIECE OF MINE THAT LIVES IN, IN THE AREA. HER CAR HAS BEEN HIT ONCE AND SHOT AT ONCE. SO THERE, THERE'S ISSUES, THERE'S BIG ISSUES IN, IN, UH, IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD BECAUSE OF, OF THE BARS. AND, UH, YOU KNOW, I, UH, I TAKE EXCEPTION TO THE FACT THAT MARK IS A NICE GUY AND HE MAY BE, BUT, UH, THERE IS NO CONCERN OR, OR, UH, CARE FOR THE QUALITY OF A LIFE THAT THESE BARS CREATE FOR THAT NEIGHBORHOOD. AND, UH, I, I, AGAIN, YOU KNOW, I JUST, I'M A STRONG OPPOSITION, UH, OF THE REQUEST. AND THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME AGAIN. THANK YOU, MR. PERALES. GEORGE TURNER. HELLO, MY NAME IS GEORGE GRANT TURNER. I LIVE AT 4 1 8 EAST FRENCH PLACE DIRECTLY ACROSS THE STREET FROM THE PROPERTY IN QUESTION. UH, EVERYTHING THAT YOU'VE HEARD ON THESE VOICEMAILS IS ACCURATE. IT REALLY IS. UH, AND IF ANYONE WAS GOING TO, UH, BEFORE THIS REZONING, I WOULD HONESTLY EXPECT IT'S ME. I'M A, I'M A MUSICIAN. I PLAY MUSIC ALL UP AND DOWN THE STRIP. UM, I MOVED TO THE AREA BECAUSE I LOVE THE CULTURE DOWN THERE. I THINK IT'S FANTASTIC. AND THOUGH AGAIN, EVERYTHING YOU'VE HEARD ON THESE VOICEMAILS IS ACCURATE. UH, I'VE HAD TO WAKE SOMEBODY UP IN MY FRONT YARD. UH, I FOUND THEM IN BETWEEN ME AND GEORGE'S HOUSE. UH, I'VE GOT CAMERAS OVER THERE TOO, AND YEAH, THEY DO. THEY URINATE, THEY DEFECATE. IT'S, UH, FORTUNATELY, AS YOU CAN TELL FROM GEORGE, HE'S A PRETTY COOL HEADED FELLA. SO AM I. UM, AND IT SOUNDS LIKE MOST OF THE PEOPLE ON THE STREET ARE, EVEN THOUGH THEY HAVE TO PUT UP WITH A LOT, SO, UH, I WOULD REALLY HOPE THAT YOU GUYS CONSIDER THE OPPOSITIONS THAT YOU'RE HEARING TODAY. IT'S, IT'S ALL TRUE. THANK YOU. THANK YOU, MR. TURNER. ANTHONY, ANTHONY DOMINGUEZ, ANTHONY DOMINGUEZ. UH, MY WIFE AND I LIVE AT 4 2 3 EAST FRENCH PLACE, WHICH WOULD BE RIGHT NEXT DOOR, UH, TO 4 1 9 EAST FRENCH PLACE. UH, THAT'S REQUESTING THE REZONING. AND SO I RE UH, I WOULD LIKE TO SAY MY NEIGHBORS HAVE DONE A GREAT JOB GIVING YOU A LOT OF INFORMATION, SO I'LL KEEP IT FAIRLY SHORT. UM, I DON'T THINK THERE'S MUCH TO ADD EXCEPT TO SAY EVERYTHING IS TRUE. AND BEING NEXT DOOR, ALL THIS WOULD BE BROUGHT RIGHT INTO MY HOUSE, MY BACKYARD. RIGHT. UM, THE WAY THAT THE NEIGHBORHOOD IS SET UP AND LAID OUT IS ALL THE HOUSES ARE TO THE LEFT, RIGHT ON THE PROPERTY LINE. AND SO MY LIVING ROOM AND MY KITCHEN WINDOWS, WALLS WOULD BE LITERALLY AT THE BUSINESS THAT IS PROPOSED. MY BACKYARD, UH, MY BEDROOM EXTENDS BACK INTO THE BACKYARD. MY BEDROOM WOULD BE LITERALLY EIGHT FEET AWAY FROM THE BAR. RIGHT? AND WE'RE, THERE'S, WITH THE HOUSE SITTING IN BETWEEN IS A BUFFER. WE ALREADY RUN INTO 1 30, 2 O'CLOCK IN THE MORNING, KARAOKE CONCERTS, START KARAOKE AT MIDNIGHT. YOU KNOW, WE'RE TRYING TO GET SLEEP FOR WORK THE NEXT DAY AND CONSTANTLY HAVE TO DEAL WITH THESE THINGS. WITH IT LITERALLY EIGHT FEET AWAY. I CAN'T IMAGINE HOW, HOW MUCH WORSE IT WOULD BE TO TRY TO LIVE THERE. RIGHT? WE'VE GOT THE SAFETY CONCERNS, THE DIFFERENT [00:45:01] ISSUES THAT CAME UP. UM, SOMEONE MENTIONED A COUPLE MONTHS AGO THERE WAS THREE PEOPLE STABBED RIGHT IN FRONT OF THAT AREA, RIGHT THERE AT THE CORNER OF EAST FRENCH PLACE IN, IN NORTH ST. MARY'S. AND SO THERE'S A LOT OF CONCERNS ABOUT, UH, THOSE TYPES OF THINGS CONTINUING TO HAPPEN AND EXPAND IF THERE'S COMMERCIAL ENCROACHMENT INTO THE NEIGHBORHOOD, RIGHT? AND SO, UM, ONE OF THE BIG THINGS THAT I DON'T, I DON'T THINK PEOPLE TALKED ABOUT ENOUGH WAS KNOCKING ON DOORS IN THE MORNING. ESPECIALLY ME BEING RIGHT THERE. I'VE HAD PEOPLE THREE O'CLOCK IN THE MORNING KNOCKING ON THE DOOR, JUST BANGING ON IT. I, I'VE GOTTEN TO THE POINT WHERE I'M LIKE, MAYBE THEY'LL GO AWAY FIVE MINUTES LATER. THEY'RE STILL BANGING, ASKING TO USE THE BATHROOM, ASKING WHERE THEIR CAR IS ASKING, YOU KNOW, JUST DOING ALL KINDS OF STUFF. AND SO THAT'S NOT A GREAT PLACE TO LIVE FOR MOST OF THE NEIGHBORS THAT LIVE THERE. UM, ANOTHER SCENARIO THAT HAPPENED WAS WE'VE HAD TWICE PEOPLE JUMP INTO OUR BACKYARD, NOT ABLE TO OPEN THE FENCE, START BANGING ON THE BACK DOOR, TRYING TO GET IN. SO I STRONGLY OPPOSE THIS ON THE MEASURE OF SAFETY AND JUST QUALITY OF LIFE IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD. ALRIGHT, THANK YOU MR. DOMINGUEZ. THAT IS IT FOR PUBLIC COMMENT. ALRIGHT. UM, IS THERE A MOTION, MR. CHAIR, I'D LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION TO CONTINUE ITEMS NINE AND 15 TO THE AUGUST 19TH HEARING. IS THERE, HAPPY TO SECOND THAT. OKAY. SO THERE'S A MOTION TO CONTINUE ITEMS FIVE AND 19, I'M SORRY, NINE AND 15, UH, TO THE AUGUST, UH, 19TH MEETING, UH, BY COMMISSIONER WATSON WITH A SECOND BY COMMISSIONER BARROS. UH, ANY DISCUSSION LOOKING TO MY LEFT? YES. COMMISSIONER SIPES. UM, CONSIDERING THE AMOUNT OF, UH, PUBLIC COMMENT, I WAS WONDERING COULD WE ASK THE PURPOSE OF THE CONTINUANCE ABSOLUTELY. FROM THE APPLICANT FOR NUMBER 15, UH, PATRICK CHRISTENSEN, UM, THREE 15 ECOMMERCE. THE PURPOSE OF THE REQUEST IS WE'RE, WE'RE PROBABLY GONNA END UP HAVING TO POSTPONE IT. WE NEED TO CHANGE OUR REQUEST TO SOMETHING ELSE. 'CAUSE IT'S OBVIOUS THERE'S A LOT OF OPPOSITION, A LOT OF ISSUES I WAS NOT AWARE OF. SO WE WOULD JUST LIKE THE CHANCE TO BE ABLE TO FIGURE OUT SOME OTHER AVENUE AND, AND COME BACK TO YOU. THANK YOU. UM, OKAY. ANY FURTHER QUESTIONS OR DISCUSSION? AND I, I JUST WANNA PUT OUT THERE FOR EVERYBODY IN THE CROWD AS WELL WITH A CONTINUANCE. THAT MEANS WE WILL NOT BE SENDING OUT NOTICES FOR THE UPCOMING MEETING. SO WHAT IS DECIDED HERE WILL LET YOU GUYS KNOW WHEN THE NEXT MEETING WILL BE TO REVIEW THIS. MR. PERALES, NOT, NOT RIGHT NOW, BUT YOU CAN TALK TO A STAFF MEMBER IN A LITTLE BIT. BUT JUST PRIVATELY, UH, OUR PUBLIC COMMENT SECTION IS OVER. UH, BUT A STAFF WILL BE HAPPY RIGHT BACK THERE TO CHAT WITH YOU INDIVIDUALLY. UM, OKAY. UH, I'M GONNA HAVE A QUESTION, BUT TO MY RIGHT. YES, COMMISSIONER HINOJOSA, JUST REAL QUICK, I FEEL LIKE I HAVE TO SPEAK BECAUSE MY NAME IS GEORGE AS WELL. UH, BUT I, I THINK NEIGHBORS AND COMMUNITY, WE, UH, I, ELISE, I HEAR YOU. WE HEAR YOU. UM, THAT'S ALL. OKAY. ALRIGHT. ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION? RIGHT. REMOTELY, AND I'M BREAKING MY OWN RULE HERE, BUT I HAVE SOME QUESTIONS. UM, AND, AND PATRICK, YOU MIGHT WANT TO HEAD THIS WAY AS WELL. MR. CHRISTENSEN, EXCUSE ME. UM, IF WE WERE GIVEN, SO MR. CHRISTENSEN HAS INDICATED THAT HE MIGHT HAVE TO POSTPONE THIS ITEM. UM, CAN HE WITHDRAW THAT IF WE WERE TO MAKE A RECOMMENDATION TODAY, WITHDRAW HIS CASE AND COME BACK? WELL, WITHDRAWAL MEANS THAT HE WOULD JUST COMPLETELY WITHDRAW IT AND THEN HAVE TO RESTART WITH A BRAND NEW CASE NUMBER AND EVERYTHING. WHEREAS POSTPONEMENT KIND OF KEEPS THE EXISTING CASE NUMBER ACTIVE. HE WOULD, BUT WE WOULD RE NOTIFY ON FUTURE. HE COULD POTENTIALLY CHANGE HIS PROPOSED USE. UM, AND THEN WE WOULD RE NOTIFY WITH, UH, LETTERS TO ALL THE, UM, NEIGHBORS WITHIN 200 FEET AS PER STATE CODE. UM, OKAY. AND SO MS. SANDERS, MY FOLLOW UP TO THAT IS THIS, UM, AND THE NEW NOTICE, SHOULD HE POSTPONE WITHIN THE NEXT TWO WEEKS OR WHATEVER, UH, THE NEW NOTICE WOULD GO OUT WITH WHATEVER, IF HE WERE TO CHANGE HIS REQUEST WITH THE NEW PROPOSED USE OR NEW REZONING REQUEST, CORRECT? THAT IS CORRECT. OKAY. ALRIGHT. UM, ALRIGHT PATRICK, I'M GONNA ASK YOU SOMETHING IF I MAY. UM, ALRIGHT, UM, GIVEN THE POSSIBLE POSTPONEMENT AND CHANGE IN ZONING [00:50:01] REQUEST, UM, CAN YOU GET EVERYONE'S NAME HERE AND CONTACT THEM, LET 'EM KNOW THAT, AND, AND THEIR NUMBERS OR SOME, SOME MEANS OF CONTACTING THEM BEFORE YOU LEAVE HERE TODAY? BECAUSE WHAT I DON'T WANT IS A TWO WEEK CONTINUANCE AND EVERYONE TO SHOW UP AND YOU'VE POSTPONED IT. DOES THAT MAKE SENSE? WELL, LET ME DO THIS, MA'AM. I'M ALMOST POSITIVE I'M GONNA HAVE TO POSTPONE IT. OKAY. SO I CAN, WHEN I JUST POSTPONE IT RIGHT NOW, THEN THEY KNOW THAT THEY'LL GET A NEW NOTICE AND I'LL REACH BACK OUT TO TOBIN HILL AGAIN AND EVERYTHING LIKE I DID THIS TIME. 'CAUSE I'M GONNA HAVE TO CHANGE THE REQUEST THAT'S GONNA BE OUTSIDE OF THE RANGE. AND SO THAT IS A MUCH BETTER SOLUTION. THANK YOU FOR PROPOSING THAT. YOU'RE WELCOME. ALRIGHT, SO LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, UM, WE'RE GONNA DO A COUPLE OF THINGS NOW, BUT FOR THE BENEFIT OF THOSE IN THE AUDIENCE, UM, THIS ITEM IS NOW GOING TO BE POSTPONED. THAT MEANS THAT IT WILL NOT BE HEARD TODAY. IT WILL NOT BE HEARD IN TWO WEEKS. YOU WILL RECEIVE ANOTHER NOTICE. UH, THAT DOES TELL YOU WHEN IT WILL BE HEARD. UH, MY HOPE IN DOING THIS IS, IS THAT WE CAN COME UP WITH SOMETHING THAT MIGHT WORK FOR EVERYONE THAT MAY NOT BE POSSIBLE. BUT WHAT I ALSO DON'T WANT IS FOR Y'ALL TO HAVE TO SCHLEP YOURSELVES OVER HERE IN TWO WEEKS JUST TO FIND OUT NOTHING'S HAPPENING. SO RIGHT NOW, WE KNOW NOTHING IS GONNA HAPPEN UNTIL Y'ALL RECEIVE ANOTHER NOTICE AS YOU RECEIVED FOR TODAY'S HEARING, THAT WILL MOST LIKELY INDICATE A NEW ZONING REQUEST. ALRIGHT, THAT BEING SAID, SINCE THIS CASE, UH, NUMBER 15 HAS NOW BEEN POSTPONED, UH, COMMISSIONER WATSON FRIENDLY AMENDMENT TO LIMIT THIS MOTION TO ITEM NUMBER NINE, AMENDMENT ACCEPTED. ALRIGHT, COMMISSIONER BOTTLES? YES. ALRIGHT, THE MOTION IS FOR A CONTINUANCE OF ITEM NUMBER NINE TO AUGUST 19TH BY COMMISSIONER WATSON WITH THE SECOND BY COMMISSIONER BOTTLES ROLL CALL VOTE PLEASE. COMMISSIONER WATSON? YES. COMMISSIONER BARROS? YES. COMMISSIONER KELLUM? YES. COMMISSIONER NOOSA? YES. COMMISSIONER HUEY AYE. COMMISSIONER SIPES? YES. COMMISSIONER GONZALEZ? YES. COMMISSIONER WIT? YES. COMMISSIONER CHASE? YES. CHAIR BUSANTE. AYE. MOTION CARRIES. OKAY, SO VERY GOOD. UH, FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO ARE FOR ITEM NINE, WHICH DOESN'T SOUND LIKE A LOT OF FOLKS, UH, WE'LL SEE YOU IN TWO WEEKS. FOR THOSE OF YOU FOR ITEM 15, UH, AGAIN, THAT ITEM WILL NOT BE HEARD TODAY. IT WILL NOT BE HEARD IN TWO WEEKS. YOU WILL RECEIVE FURTHER NOTICE. AND, UH, WE APPRECIATE YOU COMING OUT. I THINK, YOU KNOW, YOU ALL MADE A DIFFERENCE TODAY. AND OF COURSE, SHOULD THIS CASE COME BACK IN WHATEVER FORM, UH, WE WILL KEEP YOUR COMMENTS TODAY IN MIND AND WE WILL ALSO, YOU KNOW, SHOULD YOU CHOOSE TO COME BACK, ADDRESS YOUR COMMENTS THEN AS WELL. ALRIGHT, MR. CHAIR? YES. COMMISSIONER HUEY QUESTION. YES. DO WE NEED TO TAKE A VOTE ON POSTPONING THIS CASE? POSTPONEMENT, I BELIEVE IS, WE DO NOT, NO, WE DON'T TAKE A VOTE ON POSTPONEMENTS. THAT'S THE, FOR THE APPLICANT TO MAKE THE DECISION. YEAH, THAT, THAT IS ABSOLUTELY AT THE, UH, AT THE APPLICANT'S UH, DISCRETION. UM, SO THERE WE ARE. ALRIGHT. MIGHT I ASK, UH, SO LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, IF YOU'RE HERE FOR NINE AND 15, YOU CAN GO ABOUT YOUR WAY. UH, IF YOU'RE HERE FOR NINE, WE'LL SEE YOU IN A COUPLE OF WEEKS. BUT, UH, THANK YOU FOR COMING DOWN. UM, ALRIGHT. IF I MIGHT ASK, IS THE APPLICANT FOR ITEM NUMBER FIVE HERE? 10 15, IT'S MY CASE, I SHOULD KNOW. REO CITY ROAD 15. REO CITY ROAD IS THE APPLICANT HERE. ALRIGHT, I AM MOVING ITEM NUMBER FIVE TO A SECOND COMBINED HEARING DOCKET TO CONTINUE THE CASE TO SEPTEMBER 2ND. IF WE COULD PLEASE, UH, READ FOR THAT DOCKET ITEM NUMBER FIVE. SO ITEM NUMBER FIVE IS WE WILL BE PUTTING IN A CONTINUANCE FOR FOUR WEEKS TO THE SEPTEMBER 2ND MEETING. OKAY, VERY GOOD. IS THERE A MOTION MR. CHAIR? I'D LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION TO CONTINUE ITEM NUMBER FIVE TO THE SEPTEMBER 2ND HEARING. THANK YOU. IS THERE A SECOND? I'LL SECOND THAT. ALRIGHT, THERE IS A MOTION, UH, TO CONTINUE ITEM NUMBER FIVE TO THE SEPTEMBER 2ND HEARING BY COMMISSIONER WATSON WITH A SECOND BY COMMISSIONER BARROS DISCUSSION. LOOKING TO MY LEFT TO MY RIGHT REMOTELY. SEEING NONE. UH, THE MOTION IS FOR CONTINUANCE OF ITEM NUMBER FIVE TO SEPTEMBER 2ND. ROLL CALL, VOTE PLEASE. COMMISSIONER WATSON? YES. COMMISSIONER BARROS?

THUMB UP FOR MR. CHA. COMMISSIONER CHASE. CHAIR BUSANTE AYE. MOTION CARRIES. ALRIGHT, VERY GOOD. ALRIGHT, WE ARE NOW GONNA MOVE ON TO OUR FIRST INDIVIDUAL HEARING ITEM ITEM NUMBER TWO, PLEASE. GOOD AFTERNOON. BRONTE FREIER ZONING PLANNER WITH DEVELOPMENT SERVICES. ITEM NUMBER TWO IS LOCATED AT 1 3 7 9 0 JUDSON ROAD GOING FROM C3 TO I ONE. ALL OVERLAYS GERMAN REMAIN THE SAME. 15 NOTICES WERE SENT, ONE IN FAVOR, ONE OPPOSED. THERE IS NO REGISTERED NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATION WITH 200 FEET. STAFF DOES FIND EVIDENCE OF LIKELY ADVERSE IMPACTS ON NEIGHBORING LANDS IN RELATION TO THIS CHANGE OF ZONING REQUEST. THE EXISTING C3 GENERAL COMMERCIAL DISTRICT IS AN APPROPRIATE ZONING FOR THE PROPERTY AND SURROUNDING AREA. THE PROPOSED I ONE GENERAL INDUSTRIAL DISTRICT IS NOT APPROPRIATE. THE REQUEST TO I ONE WOULD CONTRIBUTE TO EXPANDING INDUSTRIAL BASED ZONING DISTRICTS ABETTING MULTI-FAMILY RESIDENTIAL. THE SURROUNDING AREA HAS A SUBURBAN TIER LAND USE DESIGNATION, WHICH IS INTENDED TO PROMOTE RESIDENTIAL USES AND NEIGHBORHOOD AND COMMUNITY COMMERCIAL USES. AND OF WHICH THE REQUEST THAT I ONE BASED ZONING DISTRICT IS NOT ALIGNED WITH THE APPLICANT IS REQUESTING THE REZONING TO PERMIT OUTDOOR STORAGE. BUT STAFF FINDS THE USE CAN BE MET WITH A LOWER INTENSITY OF BASE ZONING WITH A SPECIFIC USE OF AUTHORIZATION IN ALIGN WITH THE ADOPTED LAND USE. STAFF AND PLANNING COMMISSION RECOMMEND DENIAL. THE APPLICANT IS HERE TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS AND AS I UNDERSTAND IT, AMEND THEIR REQUEST TO C3 S GENERAL COMMERCIAL DISTRICT WITH A SPECIFIC USE AUTHORIZATION FOR STORAGE OUTSIDE SCREENING FROM PUBLIC RIGHT OF WAYS AND ADJACENT PROPERTY REQUIRED. IF WE COULD HAVE THE APPLICANT PLEASE. AND IF YOU WOULD, SIR, YOUR NAME AND YOUR ADDRESS. HELLO, MY NAME IS DAVID DYE. UH, I'M, I AM, UH, MY ADDRESS IS 1 7 1 7 4 IRON GATE RAIL. I AM, UH, UH, MY COMPANY IS TIDE DEVELOPMENT INCORPORATED. WE'RE A LAND SURVEYOR AND CIVIL ENGINEER AND WE REPRESENT THE OWNER, MR. GENE MEYERS, WHO IS HERE. IF Y'ALL HAVE ANY QUESTIONS FOR THE OWNER. UH, MR. MEYER OWNS THE, AND IT'S AN EXISTING, UM, YOU KNOW, A COMMERCIAL C3 FACILITY AND THE PROPERTY IS ZONED C3 FOR THE BUILDING AND THE ADJOINING, UH, HE, HE ACTUALLY HAS TWO PLATTED LOTS. SO THE BUILDING AND THE, THE LAND NEXT TO THE BUILDING AND THE FRONT YARD AREA, UH, ALONG JUDSON ROAD IS ALL ZONED C3 RIGHT NOW. AND THE REAR OF THE PROPERTY IS ZONED I ONE, THE EXHIBIT THERE SHOWS THE, ON, ON THE RIGHT HAND SIDE, THE SLASHES, THE, THE DOUBLE UH, HASH MARKS THAT TO THE RIGHT. THAT'S AN I ONE ZONE. THEN THE AREA IN THE MIDDLE TOP THERE IS, THOSE ARE THE, THE, THE, THE DIAGONAL LINES THAT ARE CLOSER TOGETHER. AND, AND THAT'S THE AREA IN QUESTION. SO HE, UM, MR. MEYER'S, MR. DOC, YOU CAN HAVE A POINTER THERE. OH, PERFECT. THANK YOU. THAT MIGHT HELP. YEAH, SO THE, OF COURSE THIS WHOLE PROPERTY'S RIGHT HERE AND THE, THE EXISTING, UM, A COMMERCIAL BUILDING IS HERE AND IT'S A WAREHOUSE TYPE FACILITY WITH SOME OFFICE SPACE IN IT. UH, UH, THIS IS THE AREA IN QUESTION RIGHT HERE. IT'S, UH, SO ALL OF THIS AREA HERE IS ZONED C3 AT THE PRESENT TIME. AND THIS IS I ONE, NOW THERE'S A FENCE HERE. YOU CAN SEE THAT THE, THE FENCE OF THAT CROSS HATCHING IS RIGHT HERE AND HE'S GOT A GATE HERE. SO WHAT, UH, THE, THE, MR. MYERS HAS RENTED THIS BUILDING. HE'S OWNED IT FOR OVER 25 YEARS. AND, AND THE BUSINESS IS CALLED CORN MAINE. THEY'RE AFFILIATED WITH HOME DEPOT AND THEY SELL INDUSTRIAL, UH, UH, PRODUCTS SUCH AS WATER, WATER MAIN, SEWER MAIN, THE VARIOUS FITTINGS, ALSO FIRE PROTECTION EQUIPMENT SUCH AS PIPES, FIRE HYDRANTS, ET CETERA. AND THEY USE THIS AREA AND THEY'VE USED IT FOR 25 YEARS PLUS TO STORE THAT TYPE OF MATERIAL. IF YOU WERE TO DRIVE OUT THERE RIGHT NOW, THAT MATERIAL IS STILL THERE. AND, AND JEAN AND THE FOLKS THERE NEVER KNEW THAT, THAT THEY WERE IN A CODE VIOLATION SITUATION. MR. MEYER, UH, DECIDED TO SELL THE PROPERTY AND THE BUYER THAT CAME IN DID HIS DUE DILIGENCE AND DURING THE DUE DILIGENCE PROCESS DETERMINED THAT THERE WAS A, THAT THERE WAS A CODE VIOLATION THAT THERE, THERE WAS OUTDOOR STORAGE PUT IN HERE. SO THAT'S WHY WE'VE COME IN. WE ORIGINALLY APPLIED FOR I ONE BECAUSE THERE'S I ONE IN THE, IN THE BACK OF THE PROPERTY ALREADY. BUT STAFF AND, AND, AND PARTICULAR COUNCILMAN WHITE AND UH, SAMANTHA WICKWIRE, HIS ZONING COORDINATOR WERE NOT CRAZY ABOUT THE I ONE BECAUSE THERE IS A RESIDENTIAL USE FURTHER BACK THE PROPERTY HERE. SO EVEN THOUGH THERE'S I ONE HERE, WE FELT LIKE SINCE THERE'S I ONE THERE AND I ONE USE WOULD NOT BE INAPPROPRIATE, BUT THEY WERE NOT COMFORTABLE WITH THAT. SO, UH, MR. MEYER HAS AGREED TO CHANGE THIS TO UH, JUST, IT IS STILL C3, [01:00:01] JUST ADDING THE STORAGE ONTO IT SO THEY COULD DO OUTDOOR STORAGE. NOW THE PROPERTY OR THIS AREA IS ALREADY SCREAMED FROM JUDSON ROAD WITH THE EXISTING FENCE AND THERE IS A FENCE WITH SOME MISCELLANEOUS TO CALL IT LANDSCAPING IS GENEROUS, BUT IT'S AN OLD TREES AND MESQUITE AND YOU KNOW, THAT STUFF THAT HAS GROWN UP ALONG THAT, THAT LINE THERE. BUT HE LITERALLY OWNS THE PROPERTY ON THREE SIDES OF THE AREA IN QUESTION. SO, UH, WE HAVE MET WITH, UH, OF COURSE WE'VE MET WITH MR. UM, UH, JOHN WHITIT. WE, WE HAD A CONFERENCE CALL YESTERDAY, A ZOOM MEETING WITH SAMANTHA WICKWIRE, UH, OF, OF COUNCILMAN WHITE'S OFFICE. AND UH, THEY ARE WILLING TO SUPPORT 'CAUSE HE CAN SPEAK FOR HIMSELF OBVIOUSLY, BUT THEY HAVE AGREED THAT THAT'S THE BEST WAY FOR US TO GO AND BE ABLE TO JUST CONTINUE TO OPERATE THE PROPERTY THAT IN THE MANNER THAT'S BEEN OPERATED FOR MANY YEARS. ALRIGHT, THANK YOU MR. DYE. AND JUST, JUST SO I CAN HAVE THE RECORD CLEAR ON THIS, YOU ARE AMENDING YOUR REQUEST TO C3 S OUTDOOR STORAGE WITH SCREENING? YES SIR. CORRECT. OKAY, THANK YOU SO MUCH. ALRIGHT, DO WE HAVE ANY PUBLIC COMMENT? THERE IS NO PUBLIC COMMENT ON THIS ITEM. VERY GOOD. COMMISSIONER WITT, UH, DISTRICT 10 CASE TO YOU FOR QUESTIONS PLEASE. I HAVE NO QUESTIONS. I'LL LET ANYBODY ELSE, UH, OFFER UP THEIRS IF THEY'VE GOT VERY GOOD. THANK YOU SO MUCH COMMISSIONERS TO MY LEFT QUESTIONS. SEEING NONE, COMMISSIONERS TO MY RIGHT. QUESTIONS. SEEING NONE REMOTELY. ALRIGHT, NO FURTHER QUESTIONS AGAIN, COMMISSIONER WSET TO YOU FOR DISCUSSION AND POTENTIAL MOTION. UH, I APPRECIATE Y'ALL WORKING WITH THE COUNCIL AND EVERYTHING AND UM, I DON'T HAVE ANY ISSUES WITH THE PROPOSAL SO I AM GOING TO PROPOSE THAT WE ACCEPT YOUR AMENDED REQUEST, UH, WITH THE C3 S AND MOVE FORWARD WITH THAT. THANK YOU SIR. APPRECIATE IT. ALRIGHT. ALRIGHT. THERE IS A MOTION FOR APPROVAL AS AMENDED. IS THERE A SECOND? I'LL SECOND THAT SIR. COMMISSIONER BARTOS ALL DAY TODAY. ALRIGHT. UM, ALRIGHT. ANY DISCUSSION? COMMISSIONERS ON MY LEFT. SEEING NONE, COMMISSIONER ON MY RIGHT. SEEING NONE REMOTELY. VERY GOOD. THE MOTION IS FOR APPROVAL, UH, OF THE REQUEST AS AMENDED BY COMMISSIONER TSET WITH A SECOND BY COMMISSIONER BARROS. ROLL CALL. VOTE PLEASE. COMMISSIONER WHAT? YES. COMMISSIONER BARROS? YES. COMMISSIONER KELLUM? YES. COMMISSIONER WATSON? YES. COMMISSIONER OSA? YES. COMMISSIONER HUEY AYE. COMMISSIONER SIPES? YES. COMMISSIONER GONZALEZ? YES. COMMISSIONER CHASE? YES. CHAIR BUSANTE. AYE. MOTION CARRIES. VERY GOOD. GOOD LUCK. YOU'RE ON YOUR WAY TO CITY COUNCIL. ALRIGHT, UH, I WOULD LIKE TO NOTE FOR THE RECORD THE TIME IS 2 0 3 AND COMMISSIONER HENA HOSA HAS STEPPED OUT FOR ONE SECOND. UM, IF WE CAN MOVE ON NOW TO ITEM NUMBER FOUR. GOOD AFTERNOON, BRONTE FAIR ZONING PLANNER WITH DEVELOPMENT SERVICES. ITEM NUMBER FOUR IS LOCATED AT 1921 AND 1923 BURNETT STREET GOING FROM MF 33 TO IDZ ONE WITH USES PROMOTED FOR IN C ONE LIKE COMMERCIAL DISTRICT. ALL OVERLAYS REMAIN THE SAME. 28 NOTICES ARE SENT. THERE ARE THREE IN FAVOR AND ZERO OPPOSED OUTSIDE 200 FEET. THERE ARE 11 AND IN FAVOR, ZERO OPPOSED HARVARD PLACE. EASTLAWN NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATION IS NOT OPPOSED. THE EXISTING MF 33 CD MULTIFAMILY DISTRICT WITH A CONDITIONAL USE FOR MEDICAL CLINIC ADMINISTRATIVE OFFICES IS AN APPROPRIATE ZONING FOR THE PROPERTY AND SURROUNDING AREA. THE PROPOSED IDZ ONE LIMITED INTENSITY INFILL DEVELOPMENT ZONE WITH USES PERMITTED IN C ONE LIKE COMMERCIAL DISTRICT IS NOT APPROPRIATE. THE SUBJECT PROPERTY IS LOCATED WITHIN A BLOCK DESIGNATED FOR RESIDENTIAL USES, WHICH CONFLICTS WITH PLANNING PRINCIPLES OFTEN CITED TO AVOID INTRODUCING MORE INTENSE USES IN THE MIDDLE OF AN ESTABLISHED RESIDENTIAL BLOCK. THE ALTERNATE MF 33 CD RECOMMENDATIONS WOULD PRESERVE THE RESIDENTIAL BASED ZONING DISTRICT AND ALLOW ONE ADDITIONAL LOWER INTENSE COMMERCIAL USE. STAFF RECOMMENDS DENIAL AND THE APPLICANT IS HERE TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS. ALRIGHT, VERY GOOD. UH, DO WE HAVE THE APPLICANT PLEASE IF YOU WOULD INTRO, INTRODUCE YOURSELF AND GIVE US YOUR ADDRESS. UM, MY NAME IS ANDREA WORMLEY AND THIS IS RANDY WORMLEY. AND WE ARE THE OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT MEMBERS OF RELAND INVESTMENT GROUP. UM, OH, CAN I GIVE THIS TO ONE? OH MM-HMM .

UM, UH, AND WITH PROFESSIONAL MULTI-USE SPACE, UM, WE WANNA ESTABLISH A RENTAL. UH, I THINK THIS IS MOVING . WE WANT TO ESTABLISH, UH, SOME RENTAL SPACES, UH, SMALL OFFICES, UH, COFFEE SHOP, UM, AND THEN A SPACE FOR OUTREACH. UM, SO LET'S SEE. SO IF YOU, SO THIS RIGHT HERE IS THE, UH, THE SITE PLAN. AND I WANTED TO SAY THAT EVERYTHING THAT WE'RE TRYING TO DO IS IN THE EXISTING BUILDING. 40% OF THIS BUILDING WILL BE ABOUT EIGHT, UM, OFFICES, UM, THAT WE'LL BE RENTING OUT TO PROFESSIONALS, YOU KNOW, UH, BROKERS, LAWYERS, WHATEVER, UM, PEOPLE WHO SPECIALIZE IN SPECIAL THINGS. UM, AND THEN WE'LL ALSO HAVE A COFFEE SHOP AND 60% OF THIS BUILDING, UM, THE CAFE AREA, HOWEVER, WILL HOLD COMMUNITY OUTREACH. UM, WHICH IS THE MAIN REASON WHY WE ACTUALLY PURCHASED THIS BUILDING. UM, WE DID NOT WANT THE 5 0 1 C3, UM, OPPORTUNITIES TO HAVE TO HAVE OVERHEAD. AND SO WE WERE TRYING TO DO NON-PROFIT, UH, NON, UH, FOR-PROFIT, UM, ITEMS THERE OR THINGS THERE IN ORDER TO MAKE SURE THAT IT DOESN'T HAPPEN. WHEN WE WENT AFTER THIS BUILDING, UH, IT'S OWNED BY, IT WAS, WE PURCHASED IT FROM THE DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES. UM, AND IT WAS ALREADY A COMMERCIALIZED BUILDING. IT HAD A CD, I THINK THAT'S WHAT IT'S CALLED. CD OKAY. . IT HAD A CA CONDITIONAL USE. UM, BUT, UH, WE, UM, LEARNED THAT WE NEEDED TO CHANGE THAT. UM, SO WE WANT, UH, AGAIN TO PUT THE, UH, THE RENTALS IN THERE AND WE WANT TO PUT THE COFFEE SHOP. THE COFFEE SHOP IS NOT JUST FOR THE PEOPLE IN OR THE TENANTS INSIDE THE BUILDING, BUT WE WANT TO ALSO, UM, UH, OFFER THIS TO THE PUBLIC. UM, A SHARE OF THE EARNINGS FROM THIS COFFEE SHOP. LIKE I SAID, WE'LL BE GOING TOWARDS THE COMMUNITY TO CHARITABLE GROUPS WITHIN THE LOCAL AREA. UM, THE ONGOING SUPPORT FROM THE COMMUNITY FOR THIS COFFEE SHOP IS INSTRUMENTAL IN MAKING A POSITIVE IMPACT ON THE LIVES OF THOSE PEOPLE THAT ARE, UM, THERE IN OUR COMMUNITY. THERE. UH, THE TARGET CUSTOMERS FOR THE COFFEE SHOP ITSELF IS, UH, THE COLLEGE STUDENTS FROM NEARBY CO, UM, COLLEGES AND UNIVERSITIES, NAMELY ST. PHILIPS AND THE UNIVERSITY OF CAR NETWORK PROFESSIONALS AND BUSINESS, UM, OWNERS AND CLIENTS OF NEARBY LAW OFFICES IN THE PROFESSIONAL TENANTS. UH, THERE AT, UH, 19 21, 19 23, MY STREET, UH, TEACHERS, PARENTS, VISITORS OF THE ADJACENT CHARTER SCHOOL ACADEMY AND THE SAN ANTONIO ISD LEADERSHIP SCHOOL. THAT'S, UM, UH, NEARBY, UM, VISITORS FROM THE NEARBY LIBRARY. THE BIBLIO TECH EAST IS IS RIGHT, UM, ACROSS FROM US, NOT TOO FAR FROM US.

THERE ARE, UH, ABOUT, I THINK IT SAYS 13 ON THE MLS, BUT THERE'S ABOUT 17 PARKING SPACES HERE, AND THERE'S, UH, TWO, UM, UM, HANDICAP PARKINGS HERE, PARKING SPACES HERE. WE DO NOT PLAN ON ADDING ANYTHING ELSE TO THIS. UH, ON TO THE EXTERNAL PART OF THIS, OF THIS BUILDING, WE DID GET, UM, ABOUT 14, OH, ACTUALLY 15 APPROVALS. UH, UM, BUT IT IS MY UNDERSTANDING THAT ONLY THREE ARE OWNERS. WE UNDERSTOOD SIX BEING OWNERS. UM, THIS LETTER IS FROM, UH, THE OWNER THAT IS ACROSS THE STREET FROM US, AND THIS EMAIL IS FROM THE PRESIDENT OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATION, UH, WHICH IS HARVARD PLACE, EAST LAWN. SHE'S ACTUALLY, I DID SEND, I'M SORRY, YOU MAY NOT HAVE SEEN IT, BUT I DID SEND THE ACTUAL APPROVAL HER. OKAY. UM, SO SHE HAS APPROVED, UM, WHAT WE'RE DOING, UH, BUT THESE ARE THE SIX THAT WE, OF OWNERS THAT WE US UNDERSTAND ARE ACTUAL OWNERS. AND SO YOU CAN SEE WE KIND OF POINTED TO THEM THERE, AND THOSE ARE THE NUMBERS THAT CORRESPONDS TO THEIR SIGNATURES ON THAT SUPPORT LIST. AND THEN THAT LETTER IS THIS OWNER HERE. THIS BUILDING RIGHT HERE WAS ALSO OWNED BY THE DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES. UM, AND SO THAT IS ABOUT IT. I JUST WANNA SAY, AS FAR AS THE COMMUNITY OUTREACH IS CONCERNED, UM, RANDY WORMLEY AND MYSELF, WE ARE THE FOUNDERS OF LOVE AND FAITH OUTREACH MINISTRIES. UM, AND WE WILL BE USING, UTILIZING THE CAFE PART, UM, DURING THE WEEK WE'LL BE DOING TRAININGS, UM, FOR, UM, OUR HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS AND FOR VETERANS. UH, WE'LL BE DOING OPPORTUNITIES FOR THE HOMELESS. UM, WE'VE BEEN IN ESTABLISHED SINCE 2000, UH, 13. UM, AND BEEN ACTIVELY INVOLVED IN THE COMMUNITY. WE HAVE PARTNERSHIPS WITH, UM, WITH ANTIOCH. UH, WE HAVE THE BAPTIST CHURCH THAT IS NOT TOO FAR FROM US. WE HAVE OWNER, UM, PARTNERSHIPS WITH, UM, NATIONAL COUNCIL OF NEGRO WOMEN WITH A BUNCH OF OTHER ORGANIZATIONS THAT ARE ON THE EAST SIDE. UM, AND SO WE ARE VERY FAMILIAR ABOUT, UM, SOME OF THE THINGS THAT NEED TO BE DONE, UM, AND OPEN TO, UM, THE COMMUNITY'S SUGGESTION ON WHAT ELSE NEEDS TO BE DONE. BUT OUR ORGANIZATION WILL BE USING THAT SPACE TO HOST A RANGE OF ACTIVITIES INCLUDING PRAYER SERVICES, SPOKEN WORD AT NIGHT, WHICH IS REAL FUN. GALLERY ART NIGHT BIBLE STUDIES, ENTREPRENEURS TRAINING LEADERSHIP COURSES FOR OUR HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS. WE ALSO HAVE A, UM, IVY LEAGUE TOUR, UM, PROGRAM THAT WE'LL BE DOING SUPPORT SERVICES FOR OUR VETERANS, AS I SAID. AND WE AIM TO CREATE OPPORTUNITIES TO ASSIST OUR, UH, HOMELESS IN THAT AREA. UM, AND SO WE ARE ASKING THAT YOU GUYS WILL APPROVE, UM, OUR CHANGE. AND I, I UNDERSTAND IT'S BECAUSE OF THE COFFEE SHOP, HONESTLY. UM, BUT I'M NOT SURE, BUT I UNDERSTAND THAT THAT'S THE REAL ISSUE. UM, HOPEFULLY IT'S NOT AN ISSUE AND IT'S A POSITIVE THING. ANYTHING ELSE THAT YOU WANNA AND MAY I ADD? I'M RANDY WORMLEY. UM, THE OTHER THING IS THAT TOO, WE'RE GONNA BE DOING, UM, SOME EVENTS WITH THE ELDERLY, WHICH THERE'S A SENIOR LIVING, UH, COMMUNITY THAT'S OVER THERE. SO WE WILL AT LEAST HAVE THEM THERE AT LEAST ONCE OUT OF THE WEEK PLAYING GAMES AND ALL THE REST OF THOSE THINGS. AND THEN WE'RE ALSO GONNA BE LOOKING TO BRING THE YOUTH THAT IS THERE. SO A LOT OF CHILDREN IN THAT AREA ALONG WITH THAT ELDERLY TRYING TO BRING AND BRIDGE THAT GAP BECAUSE THERE'S A LOT OF WISDOM AND KNOWLEDGE OUT THERE THAT'S BEING LOST. AND SO WE'RE TRYING TO HELP BRING THAT COMMUNITY BACK TOGETHER, WHICH THEY SAID THAT, YOU KNOW, THIS WOULD BE A GREAT THING FOR US TO BRING THE COMMUNITY BACK. AND SO THAT IS ONE OF OUR MAIN PURPOSES FOR THIS, UM, BUILDING TO BE A BLESSING COMMUNITY. THANK YOU. THANK YOU SO MUCH MR. AND MRS. MORLEY. ALRIGHT. UH, ANY PUBLIC COMMENT? THERE IS NO PUBLIC COMMENT FOR THIS ITEM. VERY GOOD. UH, THIS IS A DISTRICT TWO CASE, COMMISSIONER WATSON TO YOU FOR QUESTIONS. PLEASE. UH, I HAVE NO FURTHER QUESTIONS ABOUT THIS. UH, THANK YOU FOR YOUR DETAILED, UH, OUTREACH TO US, UM, BOTH THE DISTRICT TWO STAFF AND ME THROUGHOUT THIS PROCESS. UH, THE FACT THAT YOU'VE DONE COMMUNITY OUTREACH BOTH WITH THE NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATION AND SURROUNDING, UH, NEIGHBORS IS, UH, COMMENDABLE. WE THANK YOU FOR RESPONDING TO OUR REQUEST FOR THAT. UH, WE ARE INTERESTED IN HEARING FROM OWNERS AS WELL AS TENANTS. SO, UH, YOU'RE GOOD TO GO IN TERMS OF, UH, THE [01:15:01] DIVERSITY OF THOSE TYPES OF, UH, INDICATIONS OF SUPPORT ON YOUR PETITION. I DO ANTICIPATE THERE MAY BE SOME FOLLOW UP QUESTIONS FROM THE COUNCIL OFFICE AS YOU APPROACH, UH, THE COUNCIL DATE, JUST ABOUT MAYBE YOUR SITE PLAN, UM, AND ADDITIONAL PARTNERSHIPS YOU MAY HAVE. SO JUST WOULD BE PREPARED TO ANSWER THOSE. UM, BUT DUE TO THE COMMUNITY OUTREACH AND, AND, UH, UNIQUE POSITIONING SURROUNDING LAND USE, UM, AND SUPPORT FROM THE NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATION, I HAVE, UH, NO FURTHER QUESTIONS OR ISSUES WITH THIS REQUEST. VERY GOOD. UH, ANY QUESTIONS TO MY LEFT? SEEING NONE TO MY RIGHT. YES. COMMISSIONER HINOJOSA. UH, QUESTION FOR, FOR STAFF. UH, THE REASON FOR DENIAL WAS WHAT AGAIN? UH, BASICALLY AS BRONTE HAD SAID, THIS IS PART OF A NEW EAST SIDE AREA PLAN THAT WAS RECENTLY, UM, APPROVED, ADOPTED BY CITY COUNCIL. AND THE AREA WAS DESIGNATED FOR MEDIUM DENSITY RESIDENTIAL. AND SO THAT IS WHY WE WERE UNCOMFORTABLE WITH GOING WITH A BASE ZONING THAT WOULD PERMIT COMMERCIAL USES. UM, I KNOW THAT THERE IS AN IDZ THAT ALLOWS C TWO PROPER OR C TWO USES AT THE UPPER CORNER, BUT AGAIN, WE WERE JUST TRYING TO STAY ALIGNED WITH THE EAST SIDE AREA PLAN. AND I WILL SAY, I DON'T KNOW IF BRONTE HAD SAID, BUT, UH, IT DID GO TO PLANNING COMMISSION, UH, LAST WEEK OR THE WEEK BEFORE LAST, AND THEY DID RECOMMEND APPROVAL FOR THE PLAN AMENDMENT. OKAY. AND FOR THE APPLICANT, I THINK IT'S A GREAT THING. YOU KNOW, MY DAD WENT TO SAM, UH, WHEN I WENT TO ST. PHILLIPS MYSELF, UM, TAUGHT A POE MIDDLE SCHOOL DOWN THE STREET FOR A LONG, LONG, LONG TIME. I WISH YOU THE BEST. I THINK THAT'S A GREAT ONE. LITTLE ONE, LITTLE ADVICE REAL QUICK. REGION 20 RIGHT THERE OFF OF, OF, UH, OF, UH, HINZ ON HEIN STREET. I THINK IT'S HEINZ RIGHT THERE BY FORT SAM. IT'S WHERE ALL THE TEACHERS FROM AROUND THE CITY AND IT'S SURROUNDING AREA COME FOR MEETINGS AND THEY LOVE COFFEE. OKAY? SO IF YOU CAN TAP INTO THAT AND CONTINUE TO SUPPORT WITH YOUR, WITH THE KIDS AND THE HIGH SCHOOL KIDS, 'CAUSE GOD KNOWS WE, WE NEED THAT, ESPECIALLY ON THE EAST SIDE. THANK YOU SO MUCH. ALRIGHT, ANY FURTHER QUESTIONS TO MY RIGHT? SEEING NONE REMOTELY. SEEING NONE. ALRIGHT. COMMISSIONER WATSON TO YOU FOR DISCUSSION AND POTENTIAL MOTION. ABSOLUTELY. UM, LIKE I SAID, UH, THIS IS, YOU'VE DONE A GREAT JOB WITH COMMUNITY OUTREACH AND LETTING US KNOW WHAT YOUR PLANS ARE. UM, SO WE APPRECIATE THAT. THAT'S A HUGE FACTOR IN COUNCILMAN'S CONSIDERATION AS WELL AS MINE. UM, JUST WOULD BE PREPARED FOR ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS ABOUT THOSE PARTNERSHIPS. JUST FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION, UM, SINCE IT IS ON A CORNER LOT, UH, NEAR A MAJOR THOROUGHFARE, THERE ARE A NUMBER OF RELATED USES IN THE AREA, EVEN THOUGH IT'S ALL, ALL DEFERENCE TO STAFF. UM, BEN SLATED FOR RESIDENTIAL IN OUR RECENT EAST SIDE PLAN. UM, I THINK IT'S A GREAT ANCHOR OPPORTUNITY FOR THE NEIGHBORHOOD AND WHAT WE'RE HOPING TO SEE AS COMMERCIAL REVITALIZATION ON SOME OF OUR CORRIDORS. UM, WE NEED THOSE ANCHOR SPOTS, UM, TO SORT OF INSTIGATE COMMERCIAL AND COMMUNITY ACTIVITIES. SO WE APPRECIATE YOUR APPLICATION AND REQUEST. UM, AND WITH THAT I WILL MAKE A MOTION FOR APPROVAL. I'LL SECOND. ALRIGHT. THERE IS A MOTION FOR APPROVAL BY COMMISSIONER WATSON WITH A SECOND BY COMMISSIONER HINO HOSA. UH, ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION? TO MY LEFT? SEEING NONE TO MY RIGHT.

GOOD LUCK TO YOU. CONGRATULATIONS. MOVING ON TO CITY COUNCIL. ALRIGHT, OUR NEXT ITEM IS ITEM NUMBER 10. GOOD AFTERNOON. MY NAME IS ALEXA RATANA, ZONING PLANNER WITH DEVELOPMENT SERVICES. ITEM NUMBER 10 IS LOCATED AT 1 3 6 3 9 VERDE ROAD GOING FROM R SIX RESIDENTIAL SINGLE FAMILY DISTRICT TO C3 GENERAL COMMERCIAL DISTRICT WITH ALL OVERLAYS STAYING THE SAME. THERE WERE 16 NOTICES SENT OUT. ONE IN FAVOR, ZERO OPPOSED WITHIN 200 FEET. NO REGISTERED NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATION WITH 200 FEET AND OUTSIDE THE 200 FEET, THERE WAS NO RESPONSE. THE EXISTING R SIX RESIDENTIAL SINGLE FAMILY DISTRICT IS AN APPROPRIATE ZONING FOR THE PROPERTY AND SURROUNDING AREA. THE REQUESTED C3 GENERAL COMMERCIAL DISTRICT IS NOT AN APPROPRIATE ZONING FOR THE PROPERTY AND SURROUNDING AREA. WHILE THERE ARE SOME C3 PROPERTIES WITHIN PROXIMITY, THE SUBJECT PROPERTY ABUTS A LARGE RESIDENTIALLY ZONED PARCEL AND WOULD POTENTIALLY ALLOW FOR INTENSIVE COMMERCIAL ENCROACHMENT. THE PROPOSED ZONING IS REQUESTED TO DEVELOP AN OFFICE WAREHOUSE FLEX SPACE. THEREFORE STAFF RECOMMENDS AN ALTERNATE RECOMMENDATION OF C TWO CD COMMERCIAL DISTRICT WITH THE CONDITIONAL USE FOR OFFICE WAREHOUSE [01:20:01] FLEX SPACE OUTSIDE STORAGE, NOT PERMITTED. THIS WOULD ALLOW FOR THE PROPOSED USE, BUT WITH A MAL OR COMMERCIAL BASED ZONE THAT ALSO ALIGNS WITH LAND USES ALREADY PRESENT IN THE AREA. THE APPLICANT IS HERE TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS. VERY GOOD. IF WE COULD HAVE THE APPLICANT FOR ITEM NUMBER 10 PLEASE. GOOD AFTERNOON, COMMISSIONERS. MY NAME IS AL MONTE. 13 2 5 4, UH, HUNTERS LARK. AND, UH, WE PRETEND TO BUILD AS MANION, UH, OFFICE SPACE, UH, WITH WAREHOUSE. THE BUSINESS CURRENTLY THE BUSINESS THAT PRETENDS TO BE HERE IS A CONTRACTING BUSINESS. THEY ARE, UH, FIRE SPRINKLER CONTRACTORS. THE, HOW CAN I MOVE THIS? OH, OKAY. WE CONTROL. OKAY, PERFECT. SO, SO WE ALREADY DISCUSSED THE LOCATION. UM, ONE OF THE REASONS WHY, UH, WE ARE, WELL FIRST A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THE PROJECT. SO IT'S A SMALL PROJECT. WE'RE TALKING ABOUT A 5,000 SQUARE FEET, UH, WAREHOUSE AND 2,500 SQUARE FEET OF OFF SPACE. UH, WE'RE PROBABLY GONNA BE, UH, USING ABOUT 70% OF THE LAND AS, UH, IMPERVIOUS COVER. UH, IT'S NOT A TALL BUILDING, IT'S, IT IS A, IT'S A BUILDING THAT SHOULDN'T BE OVER 18 FEET HIGH. AND, UM, ONE OF THE MAIN IDEAS OF THIS BUILDING THAT IS VERY CLEAN TOWARDS THE STREET, IT ONLY HAS THE PARKING AND THE ACCESS TO THE BUILDING SHOULD BE THROUGH THE BACK TO CONTRIBUTE TO THE IMAGE OF THE AREA. UM, INDEED, UH, A LOT OF OUR SURROUNDINGS ARE SEA TREE. ONE OF THE BENEFITS WE HAVE IS THAT, UH, WE'RE NOT IMMEDIATE TO THE NEIGHBORHOOD BEHIND US. WE ARE OVER 600 FEET FROM THE NEAREST HOUSE AND WE HAVE TWO LOTS THAT ARE IN BETWEEN. UM, THE, DO I HAVE THE POINTER? I'M SORRY. YES. THIS LOT RIGHT HERE CURRENTLY ON SALE IS EVEN, UM, OFFERED AS A COMMERCIAL SPACE. WE HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO TALK TO THEM. UH, THERE WAS NO OPPOSITION. I WAS ALSO ABLE TO TALK TO THE LOT HERE. THEY TOLD US THE WHOLE STORY. THEY ARE, UM, ALSO IN FAVOR. UM, AND WE ALSO HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO TALK TO THE PASTOR BEHIND US. AND HE WAS ALSO IN FAVOR. UH, BASICALLY WE TRY TO DO, UH, THE BEST OF OUR ABILITIES, UH, AS MUCH REACH OUT AS POSSIBLE, SENDING, UH, CERTIFIED, UH, LETTERS. UH, SOME OF THE EMAILS THAT WE WERE ABLE TO, WE, WE ALSO REACHED OUT TO THEM AND, UH, WE HAVE MOST OF THE APPROVAL AROUND US. BRIEFLY BEFORE THE MEETING, I ALSO HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO TALK TO, UH, THE GENTLEMAN HERE PRESENT THAT IT'S, UH, I BELIEVE OUR NEIGHBOR ACROSS THE STREET, HE HAD SOME, UH, QUESTIONS REGARDING STORMWATER THAT I WILL ADDRESS HIM. UH, RIGHT NOW, UM, ANY, ANY PROJECT THAT'S SUBMITTED TO THE CITY HAS TO HAVE A STABLE SOLUTIONS. UH, AND WE WILL SOLVE THEM AS STORMWATER REQUESTED. UH, THE WAY WE ARE DESIGNING THIS IS SO THAT WE CAN HAVE IN THE AREAS WHERE MOST OF THE STORMWATER WILL, UH, GO DOWN AREAS TO COLLECT THEM AS AS THE CITY WILL REQUEST FOR SURE. THE REASON WHY WE'RE REQUESTING C3 MAINLY, OH, I'M SORRY. AND I, LIKE I MENTIONED, WE, WE GOT, UH, WE WERE ABLE TO DISCLOSE THE PROJECT AND TALK TO MOST OF OUR NEIGHBORS AROUND US AND, UM, WE'VE BEEN ABLE TO SEND SOME OF THOSE EMAILS AND SOME OF THOSE LETTERS SO, SO THEY CAN BE VERIFIED. THE MAIN REASON WHY WE ARE REQUESTING C3, UH, IS SO WE DON'T HAVE ANY CODE, UH, PROBLEMS ONCE THE CONTRACTORS, UH, START, START WORKING HERE. ALSO, WE'RE THINKING OF IT A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THE FUTURE. SHOULD THEY EVER LEAVE THIS BUILDING AND HAVE A NEW TENANT OR SOMEBODY STANDS TO BUY IT, THEY WILL WANT TO HAVE THE FREEDOM SO THAT ANY OF THE EXISTING USES ON THE STREET CAN ALSO TAKE PLACE IN THIS PLACE SUCH AS AUTOMOTIVE USES OR PERHAPS OTHER TYPE OF CONTRACTOR OR ANY OF THE ALREADY EXISTING. AND THAT'S MAINLY THE REASON WHY WE'RE REQUESTING C3 AT THIS POINT. AND THAT'S ALL I GOT. THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR YOUR TIME. THANK YOU MR. ES. ALRIGHT. UH, IS THERE ANY PUBLIC COMMENT? YES, THERE IS. WE HAVE TWO SPEAKERS. ALRIGHT. ROBERT L WORLEY. SIR, IF YOU'D COME UP, PLEASE GIVE US YOUR NAME AND YOUR ADDRESS AND THEN TELL US WHAT YOU THINK. HELLO, I'M ROBERT L WARDLEY JR. UH, I'M REPRESENTING THE ADDRESS ACROSS THE STREET THAT IS 1 3 6 4 8 BULVERDE ROAD. IT'S OWNED UNDER THE NAME OF CROSS TIMBERS RENTAL PROPERTIES, [01:25:01] WHICH WAS AN ENTITY THAT MY DECEASED PARENTS HAD SET UP FOR MYSELF AND MY TWO SONS TO TAKE OVER OWNERSHIP AND I GUESS MANAGEMENT CONTROL, WHATEVER OTHER PROPERTY. AND MY MAIN CONCERN, UH, IS THAT, IS DRAINAGE. WHERE COULD I USE THAT POINTER? OH, OKAY. WE'RE, WE'RE LOCATED IN THIS PROPERTY HERE AND IT'S REALLY THE MOST DOWNSTREAM PROPERTY OF REALLY WHAT'S THE WATERSHED? BOUNDED BY BULL VERDE ROAD GOING UP NORTH AND THE HILLSIDE ALONG OVER HERE. I THINK THERE'S A HIGH POINT I, YEARS AGO I GOT COPIES OF THE BULL VERDE ROAD PLANS OR RECORDS AND THE DRAINAGE AREA GOES UP THE STREET ABOUT 1,750 FEET. THERE'S A LOW POINT RIGHT ABOUT HERE WITH THE TURBULENT, THE DRAINAGE GOES ACROSS IN AN OPEN CHANNEL TO THE RAILROAD, UNDER THE RAILROAD. AND LIKE I SAY, WE'RE THE MOST DOWNSTREAM PROPERTY. I NOTICED LAST YEAR THIS PROPERTY GOT DEVELOPED, IT'S GOT LIKE FIVE PADS ON IT. I'M NOT ON, I'VE ONLY SEEN PRELIMINARY PLANS OF, OF THESE OTHER NEIGHBORS. I DIDN'T SEE DETENTION PONDS OR RETENTION PONDS OR ANYTHING. I JUST WANTED TO VOICE MY CONCERN ABOUT THE DRAINAGE AND I'M RUNNING OUT OF TIME WITH THAT. I APPRECIATE Y'ALL'S ATTENTION. UH, I APPRECIATE LEARNING THIS PROCESS. THANK YOU ALL VERY MUCH. THANK YOU MR. ORLEY. UM, ALRIGHT. NEXT SPEAKER PLEASE. IVAN TAMEZ. GOOD AFTERNOON. DO YOU ALL? YEP. HI, HOW YOU DOING SIR?

UH, WE ARE REQUESTING THE C TREE BECAUSE THE MATERIALS THAT WE STORE AS CORE MAIN, UH, WE DO FIRE PROTECTION AND FIRE ALARM SYSTEMS. WE'VE BEEN WORKING WITH THE CITY FOR THE LAST 20 YEARS AND UH, FOR MOST PART WE NEED TO USE THE OFFICE PLUS THE WAREHOUSE SO WE CAN STOCK ALL THE PIPING AND ALL THESE FITTINGS MATERIALS THAT THEY ARE MADE FOR A STEEL PIPE AND CPVC. UH, BASICALLY THAT'S IT. AND BECAUSE IN THE FUTURE, LIKE OUR HEADQUARTERS BUILDING WAS A NORTH HALL PARK DOWN THE ROAD, MAYBE FIVE ROADS AND WE WERE BOUGHT BY A AC COMPANY COOL. OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT. AND WE NOTICED THAT IF WE WILL NOT BE C3, WE WILL NOT SELL THE PROPERTY TO THESE GUYS. SO THAT'S THE MAIN ISSUE THAT WE ARE ASKING FOR THE C3. OKAY. ALRIGHT. THANK YOU MR. THOMAS. NO, THANK YOU. ALRIGHT, THAT IS IT FOR PUBLIC COMMENT. ALRIGHT, VERY GOOD. THIS IS A DISTRICT 10 CASE COMMISSIONER TSET TO YOU FOR QUESTIONS. I THINK I'LL LET THE COMMISSIONERS ASK QUESTIONS AND THEN I'LL FOLLOW UP IF I HAVE SOMETHING. VERY GOOD. COMMISSIONERS TO MY LEFT QUESTIONS? YES. COMMISSIONER SIPES. UH, QUESTION FOR STAFF. UM, THE, THE, THE NEIGHBOR BROUGHT UP DRAINAGE, UM, THAT WOULD BE ADDRESSED DURING, UH, ANY PERMITTING PROCESS, BUT GENERALLY THEY COULD NOT INCREASE THE AMOUNT OF WATER COMING OFF OF THEIR SITE CORRECTLY. CORRECT. OR THERE WOULD BE A STORMWATER TECHNICAL REVIEW DEPENDING ON THE PROPOSED IMPERVIOUS COVER AND THE WATERSHED BEING DETERMINED. THEN WE WILL FIGURE OUT IF YOU'RE GONNA NEED ANY RETENTION PONDS DEPENDING ON WHAT YOU'RE PROPOSING. OKAY. I GUESS, I GUESS THE QUESTION IS THEY COULDN'T MAKE IT WORSE. NO. OKAY. ALRIGHT. THANK YOU. THAT, THAT WAS ALL MY QUES. ALRIGHT, THANK YOU SO MUCH. ANY FURTHER QUESTIONS? COMMISSIONERS? TO MY LEFT. COMMISSIONERS TO MY RIGHT? YES. COMMISSIONER HINOJOSA FOR QUESTION FOR STAFF.

UH, AND QUESTION FOR THE, UH, APPLICANT, [01:30:01] WOULD YOU, I I MEAN I KNOW WHAT THE OTHER COMMISSIONER SNIPES HAS SAID, UH, IT CAN'T MAKE IT WORSE, BUT IF YOU'RE CONSTRUCTING SOMETHING, THE RAIN HITS IT.

WOULD YOU BE WILLING TO WORK SOMETHING OUT TO SO IT WOULDN'T HIT HIS PROPERTY? OH, ABSOLUTELY. I MEAN, UH, WE'RE GONNA EXCHANGE, UH, CONTACTS RIGHT NOW AND I WILL BE IN TOUCH WITH HIM THROUGHOUT THE PROCESS, BUT DEFINITELY JUST FOR HIS PEACE OF MIND THAT WE'RE DOING EVERYTHING AS REQUESTED BY THE CITY. OKAY. THANK YOU. ABSOLUTELY. YES, SIR. AND THEN ONE QUESTION FOR MR. WORLEY. UM, ON THE PROPERTY CURRENTLY, YOU HAVE, UH, A STRUCTURE OR IS THERE A HOUSE THERE OR WHAT'S ON YOUR PROPERTY? UH, MR.
