MY NAME IS SAMANTHA BETA, ZONING PLANNER WITH DEVELOPMENT SERVICES.
ITEM NUMBER TWO IS LOCATED AT 1 17 30 AND 1714 SOUTH THEO STREET.
GOING FROM R FIVE RESIDENTIAL SINGLE
[00:15:01]
FAMILY DISTRICT TO MF 25, LOW DENSITY MULTI-FAMILY DISTRICT WITH ALL OVERLAY STAYING THE SAME.THERE ARE 41 NOTICES MAILED ONE IN FAVOR, ZERO OPPOSED.
CHARRO NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATION IS IN FAVOR AND BRADY GARDENS GAVE NO RESPONSE.
THE PROPOSED USE IS NOT CONSISTENT WITH THE ESTABLISHED DEVELOPMENT PATTERN OF THE SURROUNDING AREA.
SURROUNDING PROPERTIES ARE ZONED R FOUR AND R FIVE RESIDENTIAL SINGLE FAMILY DISTRICT, THE EXISTING R FIVE.
HOWEVER, THE EXISTING R FIVE IS APPROPRIATE.
THE REZONING IS TO ACCOMMODATE A 12 UNIT DEVELOPMENT.
ALTHOUGH THERE ARE MULTI-FAMILY ZONES IN PROXIMITY, THOSE LOTS ARE DESIGNATED FOR PARK SPACE OR ARE TOO SMALL TO DEVELOP ALL OF THE RESIDENTIAL ZONES IN PROXIMITY.
ACCOMMODATE SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENCES WITH POTENTIAL FOR MAXIMUM OF TWO DWELLING UNITS, MAKING THE REQUEST FOR 12 UNITS UNCHARACTERISTIC OF THE DEVELOPMENT IN THE SURROUNDING AREA.
STAFF RECOMMENDS DENIAL AND THE APPLICANT IS HERE TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS.
IF WE COULD HAVE THE APPLICANT PLEASE, SIR, IF YOU'D INTRODUCE YOURSELF AND GIVE US YOUR ADDRESS AND THEN TELL US ABOUT YOUR PROJECT.
GOOD AFTERNOON LADIES AND GENTLEMEN.
UH, CHARLES TALBERT AND THE OWNER, UH, AT, UH, 17 14 17 30 T.
UM, THAT WAS A PRETTY BASIC
AND IT'S NOT, IT'S NOT A 12 UNIT APARTMENT COMPLEX.
IT'S A RESIDENTIAL ASSISTED LIVING.
IT'S FOR FOLKS THAT ARE NOT, UH, AT THE END OF LIFE.
HOWEVER, YOU KNOW, THEY STILL HAVE SOME, SOME ACTIVITIES AND ALL.
UH, I, NO, I THE GIMME A SECOND.
THE STATEMENT WAS MADE THAT IT'S NOT, UH, THE MULTIFAMILY IS, IS NOT, UH, WOULDN'T SUIT THE NEIGHBORHOOD.
HOWEVER, I BELIEVE IT REALLY WOULD IN THIS NEIGHBORHOOD.
THERE'S, THERE ARE MANY O OLDER FOLKS, UH, RIGHT BEHIND IT IS A PARK TO WHERE THE RESIDENTIAL, THE, THE ASSISTED LIVING PEOPLE THAT WOULD BE LIVING THERE WOULD HAVE ACCESS TO THE PARK.
UH, AND, YOU KNOW, THE THINGS IN THE AREA, FORGIVE ME, I'M JUST A LITTLE BIT NERVOUS GUYS, SO, SO, UH, IT REALLY WOULD BRING A LOT OF, UM, UH, ADDITIONAL BUSINESS TO THE NEIGHBORHOOD WE'D BE USING.
WE'D BE WILLING TO USE, UH, FOR LANDSCAPERS, UH, BUSINESSES THAT ARE IN THE IMMEDIATE AREA.
UH, WE'RE GONNA NEED, UH, YOU KNOW, HOUSEKEEPING AND STUFF LIKE THAT.
IF THERE ARE BUSINESSES THAT ARE IN THAT AREA, WE WILL DEFINITELY USE THEM.
UM, LET ME SEE, WHAT ELSE WAS THERE? AS FAR AS THE, UH, PROJECT NOT BEING SUITED FOR THE SIZE OF THE LOT, THERE'S ONLY FOUR ADDITIONAL BUILDINGS GOING IN, UH, ON THE PLAT AS YOU CAN SEE THERE.
UH, WE'VE, WE'VE MADE, UH, UH, ROOM FOR, UH, YOU KNOW, FOR, THEY'LL GONE IT
UH, THE, THE PARKING AREA IS SUFFICIENT AND IT'S NOT REALLY GONNA CREATE A WHOLE BUNCH OF NEW, UH, TRAFFIC IN THE AREA AS THE, THE, THE ELDER FOLKS ARE LIVING THERE.
MOST OF 'EM ARE NOT GONNA BE DRIVING.
SO IT'S NOT REALLY GONNA HAVE A TRAFFIC IMPACT.
ANY, WOULD YOU, DO ANY OF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS THAT I CAN TRY TO ANSWER STUTTERING HERE? OF COURSE.
SO ONCE YOU FINISH YOUR, UH, PRESENTATION, WE'LL WE'LL OPEN IT UP FOR QUESTIONS.
I THINK I'VE STAED THROUGH ENOUGH.
THANK YOU SO MUCH MR. TALBERT.
IS THERE ANY PUBLIC COMMENT? THERE IS NO PUBLIC COMMENT FOR THIS ITEM.
UM, THIS IS A DISTRICT FIVE CASE, SO IT IS TO ME, UM, ALRIGHT.
STAFF, THIS IS A REQUEST TO GO FROM WHAT R FIVE TO MF 25? THAT IS CORRECT.
UM, SO NO SITE PLAN IS REQUIRED? CORRECT.
WHAT IS THE MAXIMUM NUMBER OF UNITS THAT COULD BE PLACED ON THIS SITE? IF HE GOES FOR THE MF 25, IT WOULD BE A DEVELOPMENT OF 14 DWELLING UNITS.
UM, IS THERE ANY OTHER REQUIREMENT OR ANY OTHER ISSUE WITH THE MULTIFAMILY HOUSING GIVEN THE INTENTION TO USE IT AS AN ASSISTED LIVING FACILITY? NOT SO MUCH WITH THE USE, THE ASSISTED LIVING.
WE WERE JUST CONCERNED OF THE AMOUNT, THE DENSITY IN, UH, COMPARISON TO THE SURROUNDING SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL USES AROUND THERE.
UM, SO, AND JUST SO THEY'RE AWARE THEY WOULD BE PERMITTED, UM, WOULD, IS PERMITTED BY WRIGHT IS THE ASSISTED LIVING UP TO SIX RESIDENTS AT THIS MOMENT.
[00:20:01]
UM, SO THEY WOULD NEED A CONDITIONAL USE IF THEY WANTED TO INCREASE THOSE RESIDENTS.SO I'M NOT CERTAIN HOW MANY RESIDENTS THEY'RE WANTING, IF THEY'RE WANTING HOW MANY UNITS VERSUS RESIDENCE IS, BUT OUR ZONING IS BASED OFF OF THE RESIDENTS NUMBER.
AND I GUESS THAT'S ULTIMATELY MY QUESTION IS IF WE HAVE 12 UNITS AND EACH PERSON HAS ONE OR TWO PEOPLE IN THERE, IS THIS A ZONING ISSUE THAT MIGHT NEED TO BE ADDRESSED? YES.
AGAIN, IT, IT WOULD BE CONSIDERED OFF OF THE RESIDENTS THEMSELF, NOT THE, NOT THE UNIT.
SO IF RIGHT NOW THEY'RE UP TO, THEY'RE PERMITTED UP TO SIX RESIDENTS, UM, PEOPLE.
SO MR. TALBERT, DO YOU UNDERSTAND THAT, THAT IF RIGHT NOW, IF YOU HAVE 12 UNITS, REALLY ONLY SIX OF THOSE ARE ALLOWED BY RIGHT.
FOR, UH, ASSISTED LIVING? THE REMAINDER WOULD NOT BE CORRECT.
ONE OF THE THINGS THAT, THAT I DIDN'T MENTION EARLIER MM-HMM
IS THE LOWER UNITS, UH, IT'S A TWO STORY.
SO THE LOWER UNITS WOULD BE USED FOR THE ASSISTED LIVING.
THE UNITS ON THE SECOND FLOOR WOULD BE USED FOR, UM, UH, AS YOU KNOW, RIGHT DOWN THE STREET, UH, IS A UNIVERSITY HOSPITAL.
THERE'S NURSING STAFF, DOCTORS, UH, THERE'S A LOT OF OF NEED FOR, UH, TEMPORARY LIVING SPACES FOR DOCTORS AND NURSES.
THEY'RE TRAVELING NURSES, TRAVELING DOCTORS.
SO THAT WAS THE PLAN FOR THE UPPER UNITS TO HAVE THE DOCTORS AND NURSES, IT WOULD BE AVAILABLE FOR THEM, UH, UH, TO THE LEAST SHORT TERM MEANING, YOU KNOW, AT MONTHLY, AT AT A TIME.
SO THAT WOULD BE A MIX OF THE ASSISTED LIVING VERSUS A MIX OF MULTIFAMILY.
DOES THAT RAISE ANY ISSUES WITH THE ZONING? WELL AGAIN, WE'RE JUST CONCERNED OF THE AMOUNT OF THE DENSITY.
I THINK RIGHT NOW THAT'S ALL MY QUESTIONS FOR THE TIME BEING.
ANY FURTHER QUESTIONS? COMMERS TO MY LEFT.
UM, SO LET ME SEE IF I UNDERSTAND.
YOU'VE GOT, IS YOUR MIC MICROPHONE ON, UH, YOU'VE GOT, ARE YOU GONNA USE THE EXISTING HOUSE ALSO AS PART OF THIS? UH, THE HOUSE IS RENTED OUT AS AS ALREADY, YES.
AND SO YOUR FOUR BUILDINGS ARE GONNA HAVE HOW MANY UNITS PER BUILDING? THREE.
THREE PER BUILDING, CORRECT? YES SIR.
OKAY, SO ONE FULL, ONE ON THE SECOND FLOOR AND THEN TWO UNITS ON THE GROUND FLOOR.
IS THAT THE WAY IT WORKS? UH, JUST THE FLIP IT WOULD BE ONE ON THE BOTTOM, TWO ON TOP.
UM, SO STAFF THE, WITH THE CHANGE IN THE STATE LAW ABOUT DENSITY FOR COMMERCIAL SITES WHERE THEY CAN GO UP TO THE MAXIMUM OF THE ALLOWED DENSITY IN THE CITY, WHICH IS 65 UNITS AN ACRE.
UM, IS THAT COME INTO PLAY AT ALL ON THE MS DO THEY GET NO, ITS, THEY'RE STILL LIMITED TO WHAT THEY, IT IS ZONED RESIDENTIAL THAT A HOUSE BILL THAT YOU'RE ASKING ABOUT IS FOR PROPERTIES THAT ARE ZONED COMMERCIAL OFFICE OR LIGHT INDUSTRIAL.
IT DOES NOT APPLY TO MULTIFAMILY ZONING.
ALRIGHT, ANY FURTHER QUESTIONS? COMMISSIONER? ON MY LEFT.
SEEING NONE, COMMISSIONER ON MY RIGHT.
SO ON THE BOTTOM YOU'RE PLANNING TO HAVE THE ASSISTED LIVING INDIVIDUALS, CORRECT? YES SIR.
SO YOU'RE ONLY GONNA PUT THOSE ON THE FOUR NEW BUILDINGS? CORRECT.
SO YOU'RE ONLY GONNA HAVE FOUR ASSISTED LIVING FACILITY INDIVIDUALS? THAT IS CORRECT, SIR.
BUT I'M ASSUMING LIKE IF THERE'S A HUSBAND AND WIFE OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT AND YOU, YOU HAVEN'T UP TO SIX.
AND UPSTAIRS IT'S BASICALLY JUST, I MEAN I KNOW YOU MENTIONED DOCTORS AND NURSES AND EVERYTHING.
UM, IF HERE'S WHAT I'M, HERE'S WHAT I'M NOT GONNA DO, SIR.
AND THAT'S, I DON'T WANT THAT TO SOUND WRONG.
I'M, I'M NOT GONNA BRING IN, UH, A LOW INCOME HOUSING.
I KNOW THAT'S A BIG CONCERN OF THAT.
WHENEVER I SPOKE WITH THE RESIDENTS IN THE, IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD, THAT WAS THEIR MAIN CONCERN.
WE DON'T WANT ANY ADDITIONAL LOW INCOME HOUSING IN HERE.
SO, UH, ONE OF 'EM IS, HAVE YOU DONE A COMPARISON ABOUT THE, LIKE THE RENTAL RATE FOR THAT AREA FOR ASSISTED LIVING? NO, NO, NO.
FOR, FOR THE, YOUR UPPER NEIGHBORS? UM, WE'RE, WELL DEPENDING ON THE, ON THE BEDROOMS AND, AND ALL THAT, YOU'RE ANYWHERE FROM 800 TO ALMOST 2000.
AND THEN MY SECOND QUESTION IS, UH, I DUNNO IF THERE'S A QUESTION OR A STATEMENT, BUT, UH, YOU KNOW, IF IF I'M, IF I'M UP THERE IN AGE, I PROBABLY DON'T WANNA YOUNGSTER UPSTAIRS BANGING ON THOSE CEILING WALLS OR CEILING.
[00:25:02]
I'M SURE YOU'VE THOUGHT ABOUT THAT AND, AND, AND ABSOLUTELY SIR.UM, AND BETWEEN THE FIRST AND SECOND IS WHAT, WE'LL, WE'LL PUT IN SOUND, NOT SOUNDPROOFING, BUT SOUND REDUCTION, UH, BOARDING AND THE EXISTING, EXISTING BUILDING, THE ORIGINAL HOUSE THAT YOU'RE JUST GONNA RENT THAT OUT TO? THAT IS CORRECT.
AND IT'S CURRENTLY RENTED OUT? CORRECT.
THANK YOU COMMISSIONER HINOJOSA.
ANY FURTHER QUESTIONS? COMMISSIONER'S ON MY RIGHT REMOTELY.
COMMISSIONER CHASE? I JUST HAVE ONE IF, IF IT IS ASSISTED LIVING, SO WILL YOU HAVE STAFF? THERE WILL BE SOME STAFF.
UM, ACTUALLY AGAIN, SOMETHING ELSE THAT I FORGOT TO MEN MENTION IS WE WILL HAVE, UM, UH, SECURITY ON SITE, UH, IN THE OVERNIGHT HOURS.
WE'LL HAVE, HAVE SECURITY PATROLS.
UM, THERE WILL BE, UM, A NURSE AND NURSING ASSISTANT ON SITE.
NOW THAT'S 24 HOURS, THAT'LL, THAT HAS TO BE 24 HOURS.
WILL THAT PERSON LIVE IN ONE OF THOSE UNITS OR WHERE, WHERE WOULD THEIR LIKE WORKSTATION BE OUT OF? WELL, THE WORKSTATION WOULD BE OUT OF ONE OF THE, ONE OF THE UNITS OBVIOUSLY, BUT, AND I HADN'T REALLY, I, I DON'T KNOW.
IT WOULD BE A DISCUSSION AT THE, AT THE TIME WITH THE INDIVIDUAL, YOU KNOW, UH, PAY COMPENSATION A, A PERK.
ALRIGHT, UM, I DON'T THINK I HAVE ANY FURTHER QUESTIONS, BUT I'LL GO ONCE MORE AROUND THE HORN KNEE.
ONE TO MY LEFT TO MY RIGHT CHASE.
THIS IS A DISTRICT FIVE CASE, AS I MENTIONED, UM, I APPRECIATE STAFF'S RECOMMENDATION.
UH, NORMALLY I WOULD AGREE WITH IT, UH, IT'S IN THE MIDDLE OF A BLOCK FACE.
IT, UH, IS A LOT OF DENSITY FOR THE MIDDLE OF A BLOCK FACE AND THAT CONCERNS ME GENERALLY IN THIS CASE.
HOWEVER, GIVEN THAT IT BACKS UP AGAINST THE PARK AND EVEN THOUGH, YOU KNOW, SOME OF THE MF THE MULTIFAMILY IN THE AREA IS PART OF THAT PARK COMPLEX, I THINK THIS IS A REASONABLE USE GIVEN THIS LOT AND IS PERHAPS, UM, YOU KNOW, PRETTY CLOSE TO AN IDEAL USE GIVEN THE SIZE OF THE LOT AND THE NEIGHBORING HOUSES.
SO IN LIGHT OF THAT AND UNDERSTANDING STAFF'S CONCERNS REGARDING DENSITY, UH, I AM AND DO MOVE FOR APPROVAL OF ITEM NUMBER TWO.
ALRIGHT, DISCUSSION COMMISSIONER TO MY LEFT? YES.
I GUESS NOW'S THE TIME TO SAY THIS IS A DIFFICULT CASE, UM, FOR ANYONE ELSE DOES AT THIS, THIS MEETING.
UM, AND, UH, I WILL BE SUPPORTING THE MOTION, UH, WITH ALL DUE RESPECT TO STAFF BECAUSE I, I FULLY UNDERSTAND THE RATIONALE, UM, FOR THE, THE REASONS THAT, THAT YOU HAVE MENTIONED.
I THINK IT'S THE BACKING UP TO THE PARK, THAT'S THE, THE BIGGEST, UM, THE BIGGEST PLUS TO THE DEVELOPMENT.
ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION? COMMISSIONERS TO THE LEFT? YES.
COMMISSIONER KELLY? UH, I WOULD JUST SAY THAT, UH, I'M REALLY TORN ON IT.
SO I UNDERSTAND THE NEED FOR SUFFICIENT ASSISTED LIVING RESOURCES IN THE COMMUNITY.
I'M A LITTLE CONCERNED ABOUT THE FACT THAT IT'S IN A BLOCK WITH A LOT OF SINGLE FAMILY HOMES.
UM, THE PARK SEEMS LIKE AN, A HUMILIATING FACTOR THERE.
WOULD BE SOMETHING HANDY FOR THE RESIDENTS, UH, WHETHER THEY'RE IN THE ASSISTED LIVING OR UPSTAIRS TO HAVE ACCESS TO THAT WOULD BE AN ADVAN ADVANTAGE I WOULD THINK.
I'M, I DON'T KNOW, I'M JUST, I HAVE, I'M GONNA HAVE TO REALLY
ALRIGHT, ANY FURTHER COMMENT? COMMISSIONERS ON MY LEFT.
COMMISSIONERS ON MY RIGHT? YES.
I'LL BE SUPPORTING THIS, THIS MOTION.
UH, AGAIN, I THINK I'LL ECHO THAT.
THE PARK I THINK SAVED YOU, UH, FROM THE AREA.
THERE'S SOME APARTMENTS DOWN BETWEEN ROADS, MIDDLE SCHOOL AND BARCLAY ON BARCLAY, SO I, I DON'T THINK IT'S GONNA BE UNREASONABLE DIFFERENT.
UH, FOR THE CITY, FOR THE STAFF, UM, LET'S SAY, I THINK I ALREADY KNOW THE ANSWER, BUT I JUST WANNA DOUBLE CHECK.
LET, LET'S SAY A COUPLE YEARS GOES BY AND IT, UH, THE ASSISTED LIVING IS NOT WORKING OUT.
I MEAN, HE CAN JUST, THERE, THERE'S NOTHING THAT PREVENTS HIM FROM UM, JUST MAKING IT REGULAR APARTMENTS, CORRECT? THAT'S CORRECT.
ALRIGHT, ANY FURTHER COMMENT? COMMISSIONERS ON
[00:30:01]
MY RIGHT.ALRIGHT, COMMISSIONER CHASE DISCUSSION.
DID ALSO WEIGH HEAVILY ON THIS IS THE SUPPORT OF THE CHARDO NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATION.
I KNOW YOU AND I DIDN'T HAVE A CHANCE TO SPEAK, BUT I APPRECIATE THAT YOU REACHED OUT TO THOSE NEIGHBORS TO GET THAT INPUT.
THE MOTION IS FOR APPROVAL OF ITEM NUMBER TWO BY ME WITH A SECOND BY COMMISSIONER WHITSETT.
COMMISSIONER PETE RODRIGUEZ? YES.
YOU'RE ON YOUR WAY TO CITY COUNCIL.
HAVE A GOOD DAY, GENTLEMEN, MA'AM.
ALRIGHT, THE NEXT ITEM PLEASE.
MY NAME IS SAMANTHA BEDA, ZONING PLANNER WITH DEVELOPMENT SERVICES.
ITEM NUMBER 12 IS LOCATED AT 6 0 3 PERIOD AVENUE GOING FROM R FIVE RESIDENTIAL SINGLE FAMILY DISTRICT TO RM FIVE S RESIDENTIAL MIXED DISTRICT WITH A SPECIFIC USE AUTHORIZATION FOR WIRELESS COMMUNICATION TOWER WITH A REDUCED SETBACK FROM RESIDENTIAL PROPERTY OF 165 FEET WITH ALL OVERLAYS STAYING THE SAME.
THERE WERE 14 NOTICES MAILED ZERO IN FAVOR, ZERO POSED COLLINS GARDENS NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATION GAVE NO RESPONSE.
THE EXISTING R FIVE IS AN APPROPRIATE ZONING FOR THE PROPERTY IN THE SURROUNDING AREA.
THE PROPOSED RM FIVE S IS NOT APPROPRIATE, ALTHOUGH THE PROPOSED BASE ZONE WILL REMAIN RESIDENTIAL.
THE APPLICANT PLANS ON DEMOLISHING THE CURRENT RESIDENTIAL STRUCTURE AND DEVELOP THE WIRELESS COMMUNICATION TOWER.
THE PROJECT IS UNABLE TO ACCOMMODATE THE REQUIRED 200 FOOT UDC SETBACK FOR A TOWER FROM ESTABLISHING A FAMILY HOMES ACROSS THE STREET ALLOWING POTENTIAL HIGH RISE COMMERCIAL BUILDING ENCROACHMENT WITHIN AN EXISTING RESIDENTIAL NEIGHBORHOOD.
THE APPLICANT IS HERE TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS AND AS I UNDERSTAND IT, AMEND THE REQUEST TO RM FIVE S RESIDENTIAL MIXED DISTRICT WITH A SPECIFIC USE AUTHORIZATION FOR WIRELESS COMMUNICATION TOWER WITH A REDUCED SETBACK FOR FROM RESIDENTIAL PROPERTY OF 196.5 FEET.
ALRIGHT, IF WE COULD HAVE THE APPLICANT PLEASE.
THANK YOU MR. THANK YOU MR. CHAIR.
COMMISSIONERS, UH, MY NAME IS VINCE INGER WITH VINCENT GERARD AND ASSOCIATES REPRESENTING, UH, THE LANDOWNER REPRESENTING AT AND T AND REPRESENTING, UH, THE TOWER OWNERS.
REAL QUICKLY, I HAVE A PRESENTATION TO GO THROUGH NEXT NIGHT, PLEASE.
UM, DID YOU WANT TO GIVE ME MY TIME? YOUR TIME? YEAH, I'LL YIELD MY TIME.
MR. CHEROKEE, HE'S GONNA YIELD HIS TIME TO ME.
YOU'VE GOT 10 MINUTES, SO, OKAY.
I THINK THAT SHOULD BE PLENTY.
SO, UH, REAL QUICK, UM, I'LL PROBABLY FORGET A FEW THINGS, BUT AUGUST 12TH WE DID HAVE A NEIGHBORHOOD MEETING WITH COLLINS GARDEN.
WE SENT OUT EVERYBODY WITHIN 300 FEET, PERSONAL EMAIL LETTERS, UH, ALSO INVITING THEM TO ATTEND.
WE HAD A REALLY GOOD TURNOUT, REALLY GOOD MEETING.
TALKED A LOT ABOUT, UH, THE COVERAGE ISSUES THERE.
UM, AND THERE WAS AT LEAST THREE OR FOUR PEOPLE THAT ARE CONCERNED ABOUT THE DROP CALLS AND STUFF LIKE THAT.
SO JUST TO SHOW YOU WHERE THIS IS, THIS IS REALLY IN THE CORNER TRIANGLE.
UH, IT'S THE ONLY LOT THAT IS NOT ZONED COMMERCIAL.
UM, WE SPENT, UH, OVER A YEAR LOOKING FOR SOMETHING THAT WORKS IN COMMERCIAL.
NO, GTOS IS KIND OF LIKE A BOUNDARY OF COMMERCIAL STRIP AND THEN THERE'S RESIDENTIAL JUST RIGHT BEHIND IT.
SO IT IS TRANSITIONED OVER TO A SMALL COMMERCIAL AREAS, BUT IT LOOKS LIKE IT'S JUST KIND OF A DIVIDER BETWEEN THAT.
I WANT YOU TO SEE THAT LITTLE TRIANGLE RIGHT THERE WHERE, WHERE NEIGHBORS OF I 35 NEIGHBORS OF COMMERCIAL AND THEN ACROSS THE STREET WE HAVE, UH, PRUDE AVENUE RESIDENCES.
SO WE, WE PRESSED, WE GOT LUCKY WITH LEON.
WE FOUND THE ONLY SITE AND HE WAS WILLING TO WORK OUT, BUT WE PRESSED THAT SITE AS FAR BACK AS WE POSSIBLY CAN 'CAUSE NO OTHER COMMERCIAL TRACK EXCEPT HEB WHERE IT'S GONNA WORK AND HEB DOES NOT WANNA LOSE SIX PARKING SPACES IN THAT STORE.
UM, AGAIN, THE NEIGHBORHOOD PLAN, YOU SEE THE SMALL AREA OF COMMERCIAL RESIDENTIAL MIXED USE.
NOW BASICALLY OUR RM FIVE WAS TO, TO BE COMPLIANT WITH THE, THE NEIGHBORHOOD PLAN.
SO IT'S LABELED AS A FUTURE LAND USE MIXED USE.
SO WE TALKED ABOUT THAT, WHICH ALSO GAVE US A, A BETTER SETBACK OF THE REAR TO PUSH THE MONOPOLE BACK FURTHER TO 1 96 0.5, WHICH IS ALMOST 200 FEET.
[00:35:01]
UH, ON THAT ONE.IT, IT IS A MINOR WAIVER OF 200 FEET.
WE'RE TALKING ABOUT THREE AND A HALF FEET AT, AT THE CORK IN THE CODE.
IT'LL ONLY ALLOWS THAT FLEXIBILITY IN RESIDENTIAL ZONING.
UM, W IT WILL, WE DID PROVIDE, I WANT TO CORRECT THOSE NUMBERS THERE.
1, 1 75 AND 1 96 0.5 ON THE DISTANCE TO THE DISTRICT AND THE LOT, UH, WE DID PROVIDE A VALUE STUDY AND IT'S INTERESTING, 20 SOMETHING YEARS AGO, I PUT ONE IN MY BACKYARD, MY NEIGHBORHOOD, ALMOST IN MY BACKYARD.
SO I WATCHED THOSE APPRAISALS FOR 20 SOMETHING YEARS AGO.
LOOKING AT THE MARKET CONDITIONS, I DID ASK SAMANTHA TO PUT THAT IN YOUR FILE.
I DON'T KNOW IF IT WAS OR NOT, BUT I'VE BEEN TRACKING THAT BECAUSE SOME OF THOSE HOUSES, THERE WERE THREE OR FOUR OF THEM IN MY OWN NEIGHBORHOOD THAT WERE WITHIN THAT 200 FEET.
AND I WANNA MAKE SURE THAT THEIR VALUES DIDN'T DECREASE.
UM, GO TO THE NEXT ONE PLEASE.
THIS IS THE, THE QUIRK IN THE CODE WHERE YOU CAN GET, UH, 200 FEET FROM THE USE.
AND, AND RIGHT NOW THAT AGAIN, A CORRECTION IS NOT 1 99.
THAT WAS FROM THE CENTER OF THE MONOPOLE.
ANOTHER, ANOTHER MINOR VARIANCE.
THERE'S THE SITE PLAN THAT SHOWS YOU HOW FAR IT IS AND IT SHOWS WE'RE SURROUNDED ON THREE SIDES WITH COMMERCIAL AND IH 35.
REALLY ONLY APPROPRIATE TO DO SOMETHING IN HERE AND, AND LEON WAS THINKING ABOUT MAYBE A DUPLEX AFTER WE BUILD THE TOWER SITE TO GET SOME AFFORDABLE HOUSING IN THAT AREA.
I DON'T KNOW IF YOU GUYS EVER REMEMBER ME COMING HERE.
I HAVEN'T BEEN HERE IN A WHILE.
I DON'T AND AT AND T'S NOT GONNA LIKE THIS.
I, I DON'T THINK I'VE SEEN A WORSE COVERAGE MAP.
THAT'S THE EXISTING COVERAGE YOU COULD SEE IN THE RED, UH, CROSS IN THE MIDDLE WHERE OUR PROPOSED SITE IS GONNA BE.
YOU CAN SEE RED IS NO SERVICE.
UM, AND, AND I EQUATE THAT TO THIS TOUGH AREA.
THIS IS 95% RESIDENTIAL IN COLLINS GARDEN.
IT'S A BEAUTIFUL NEIGHBORHOOD RIGHT DOWN, RIGHT DOWN THE ROAD HERE, BUT IT'S ALL RESIDENTIAL SO THERE'S NO WAY WE CAN GET ANYTHING DONE UNLESS WE FIND A RESIDENTIAL LOT AND MAKE IT WORK WITH THOSE SETBACKS.
THAT'S THE INCREASED COVERAGE.
SO IT'S ALL INDOOR SERVICES AND THE PEOPLE THAT WERE AT THAT NEIGHBORHOOD MEETING AT COLLINS GARDEN WILL NO LONGER DROP ANY ANY CALLS.
SO, UM, ONE THING IMPORTANT TO MENTION, THIS IS BEING BUILT FOR ALL THREE CARRIERS, UH, CAN BE ACCOMMODATE ALL THREE ANTENNAS AND EQUIPMENT.
THIS IS GOING TO BE INCREASING CAPACITY ON OTHER SITES.
YOU CAN SEE THE LITTLE PURPLE LINES WHERE IT'S GIVING A LITTLE BIT, TAKING A LITTLE BIT MORE FROM THAT AREA AND PROVIDING IT ON THIS EXISTING SITE.
THAT'S REALLY IMPORTANT TO HAVE AS WELL.
NEXT PLEASE, UH, AT T IS FIRSTNET.
THEY WILL EMPLOY FIRSTNET ON THIS SITE FOR FIRST RESPONDERS.
UM, THEY DO THAT ON ALL THEIR NEW SITES AS WELL.
SO THAT'S A GREAT, UH, ASSET TO HAVE.
WE TALKED TO THE OFFICER AT THE NEIGHBORHOOD MEETING AND, AND HE'S WELL AWARE OF THIS AS WELL.
UM, NEXT PLEASE, UH, RF RADIO WAVES.
UH, MY STANDARD GO-TO I, I GET MORE IN FRONT OF MY MICROWAVE.
I'M WARMING UP MY COFFEE MID-MORNING THAN YOU DO STANDING UNDERNEATH THE CELL TOWER.
IT'S 10 TIMES AS MANY IN THAT MICROWAVE.
SO RF HAS NOT BEEN, UH, IT'S NON-IONIZING, IT'S NOT BEEN SHOWN TO CAUSE ANY, ANY MAJOR HEALTH EFFECTS.
FINAL SLIDE REMINDS ME OF HOW IMPORTANT THOSE LITTLE THINGS ARE.
WE HAVE MEDICAL DEVICES RUNNING OFF THEM.
WE HAVE BEAR, BEAR, BEAR, UH, 9 1 1.
DISPATCH CAN SEE YOU IF YOU HAVE GOOD COVERAGE WITHOUT TALKING TO THEM.
PINPOINT THAT WITHIN 10 FEET OF WHERE YOU ARE.
SO VERY IMPORTANT TO HAVE AND AGAIN, FIRST NET'S GONNA BE ON THERE AND GOOD THING I DIDN'T USE ALL MY TIME BUT UH, I'LL BE HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS.
IF YOU SIGNED UP, WE CAN CALL YOU WHEN PUBLIC COMMENT, WHICH IS MIGHT BE RIGHT NOW.
ALRIGHT, IF YOU WOULD SAY YOUR NAME AND YOUR ADDRESS.
YEAH, WITH ATT I WAS THE APPLICANT BUT YOU REPRESENTED ME.
I'M PAIGE JOHNSON WITH AT AND T AND UM, WE ARE SUPPORTIVE AND THAT'S ALL I HAVE.
ALL RIGHT, THANK YOU MS. JOHNSON.
ANYONE ELSE? THAT IS IT FOR PUBLIC COMMENT.
ALL RIGHT MR. HUBINGER, I'M NOT GONNA GIVE YOU REBUTTAL TO THAT.
BUT I DO WANT YOU TO COME UP IF YOU WOULD, AGAIN, THIS IS A DISTRICT FIVE CASE.
UM, AND SO IT IS TO ME FOR QUESTIONS.
ALRIGHT, SO MY FIRST QUESTION IS, UM, YOU DISCUSSED SOME OF THIS CHANGE, BUT I WANT IT TO BE CLEAR,
[00:40:01]
UH, IN THE ORIGINAL APPLICATION, UH, THE DISTANCE BETWEEN THE RESIDENTIAL USE AND THE MONOPOLE WAS 166 FEET, CORRECT? UH, THAT WAS THE ORIGINAL APPLICATION, YES SIR.OKAY, WHY WAS THAT? WELL, BECAUSE ACTUALLY IT WAS AN INCORRECT STAFF APPLICATION BECAUSE IT REALLY GOES TO THE STRUCTURE, NOT THE DISTRICT.
SO WHAT WE DID WAS CORRECT THAT THIS MORNING AND WE'RE WORKING ON THAT LAST COUPLE OF DAYS TO MAKE SURE IT GOES FROM THE TOWER TO THE HOUSE AND NOT TO THE DISTRICT ZONE AREA.
IN OTHER WORDS, A RIGHT OF WAY.
SO THAT WAS 1 66 WHEN WE THEN LOOKED AT THE COMPATIBILITY FOR THE NEIGHBORHOOD ME NEIGHBORHOOD PLAN WITH RM FIVE, IT ALLOWS US 10 FOOT SETBACK IN THE REAR INSTEAD OF 20.
SO WE'RE ABLE TO SLIDE IT BACK 10 MORE FEET.
SO IN FACT THAT'S WHAT THE AMENDED APPLICATION IS, IS TO MOVE THAT MONOPOLE BACK 10 MORE FEET TO THE NORTH, IS THAT CORRECT? EXACTLY, EXACTLY.
AND SO YOU ARE AMENDING YOUR APPLICATION IN LIGHT OF THE SITE PLAN SUBMITTED TODAY WITH THAT 10 FOOT SETBACK? YES SIR.
UM, YOU KNOW, THE GOOD NEWS IS WE DON'T EVER HAVE TO THINK ABOUT THE RF.
WE'RE, WE'RE PROHIBITED FROM DOING SO UNDER THE TELECOMMUNICATIONS ACT.
SO YOU KNOW, THAT FLIMSY SCIENCE WE DON'T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT.
UM, AND UM, NOW I THINK YOU MENTIONED THIS DURING YOUR PRESENTATION, BUT I I DO WANNA MAKE SURE I UNDERSTOOD IT CORRECTLY.
UM, THE INTENTION IS POTENTIALLY TO BUILD ANOTHER PROPERTY OR ANOTHER BUILDING THERE IN ADDITION TO THE MONOPOLE AND SHED THAT'S, UH, LEON'S INTENT.
YES, WE'RE GONNA DEMOLISH THE EXISTING RESIDENCE, WHICH IN IS IN POOR SHAPE AND WE COULD, WE NEED TO DO THAT TO MAKE SURE WE HAD THAT SEPARATION ALSO SINCE IT'S RESIDENTIAL.
UM, STAFF, IS THERE ANY CONCERN GIVEN THIS APPLICATION FOR, UH, BUILDING, UH, YOU KNOW, POTENTIAL DUPLEX, TRIPLEX, ET CETERA? ACTUALLY IS TRIPLEX ALLOWED IN RM FIVE? UM, YES.
UM, RM FIVE ALLOWS UP TO THREE UNITS.
UM, THERE IS A, THERE IS A CONCERN THOUGH, SINCE WE WERE LOOKING FURTHER INTO THIS CODE.
BASICALLY YOU WOULD HAVE TO KEEP, UM, WITH WHAT IS BEING REVIEWED RIGHT NOW WITH THE AMENDED 1 99 UH, DISTANCE, BASICALLY THE UNIT, I DON'T BELIEVE YOU'D BE ABLE TO BUILD ON THE HA HOUSE ON THAT PROPERTY BECAUSE THEN YOU'D BE ENCROACHING THAT SETBACK THAT WE ORIGINALLY WERE THINKING ABOUT.
UM, IT'S MY UNDERSTANDING, I'M SORRY.
MR. HUBINGER, IF YOU WOULD, MY UNDERSTANDING IS THAT IT CAN'T, IT, IT, IT, IT CAN GO BACKWARDS BUT IT CAN'T GO FORWARDS.
IN OTHER WORDS, YOU CAN BUILD A RESIDENCE WITHIN THAT SETBACK.
YOU CAN'T BUILD A TOWER WITHIN THAT SETBACK AND, AND UH, ON AN EXISTING RESIDENCE.
SO WE'VE HAD THIS HAPPEN IN MANY COMMUNITIES IN TEXAS WHERE THE OWNER WANTED TO DO SOMETHING BUT WE TOLD HIM WAIT TILL THE TOWER'S BUILT THEN FILE YOUR APPLICATION FOR WHATEVER RESIDENTIAL APARTMENT UNIT OR WHATEVER IS THERE.
THERE ARE SOME CODES HAVE MINOR SETBACKS PERIOD.
UM, ALRIGHT, SO LET ME ASK THEN A CONDITIONAL QUESTION TO YOU.
IF FOR SOME REASON IT TURNS OUT THAT YOU'RE NOT ABLE TO BUILD, IS THIS STILL THE APPLICATION YOU WANT TO MAKE TODAY? AND THIS I GUESS TO YOU IS TO YOU SIR? YES.
UM, SO AS LONG AS YOU'RE AWARE OF THAT POTENTIALITY, UH, THAT SEEMS FINE.
ANY QUESTIONS TO MY LEFT? TO MY RIGHT? YES.
COMMISSIONER HINOJOSA FOR STAFF, JUST UH, FOR CLARIFICATION FOR MYSELF, UM, HE HAS TO BE, THEY HAVE TO BE WITHIN, YOU KNOW, OUTSIDE 200 FEET TO NEIGHBORING HOUSE OR THE FREEWAY OR WHAT, SO BEAR WITH ME.
UM, IF IT'S A RESIDENT, IF IT'S A BASE ZONE THAT IS RESIDENTIAL ZONE, HE HAS TO BE 200 FEET FROM A RESIDENTIAL USE, AKA STRUCTURE THE OTHER HOME.
SO THAT WOULD BE THE HOME ACROSS THE STREET.
BUT IF HE WAS TO DO A NON-RESIDENTIAL BASE ZONE, THEN HE WOULD HAVE TO BE 200 FEET FROM THE PROPERTY LINE OF A RESIDENTIAL USE.
BUT HE'S GONNA AMEND THE, UH, HE'S GONNA AMEND IT TO HAVE AN ADDITIONAL 10 FEET OR MOVE IT 10 FEET COULD, IF HE ONLY MOVED IT FIVE FOOT, THAT WOULD STILL FALL WITHIN THE 200.
[00:45:01]
ANY KIND OF LEEWAY WHEN HE THEY FUTURE USE OF BUILDING, UH, HOUSE OR PROPERTY? WELL AGAIN, HE'S FOLLOWING THE SETBACKS FOR RM FIVE AND THAT'S A 10 FOOT REAR SETBACK.SO HE'S PUSHING THE MONOPOLE AS FAR BACK AS HE CAN THAT IT COMPLIES WITH THE RM FIVE BUILDING STANDARDS.
UM, AND SO THAT'S BASICALLY WHERE HE'S MEASURING THE MONOPOLE, THE POLE FOR THE ACTUAL, UH, ANTENNAS, UH, FROM THE CLOSEST UH, SINGLE FAMILY HOME OR RESIDENCE.
ALRIGHT, ANY FURTHER QUESTIONS ON MY RIGHT? SEEING NONE COMMISSIONER CHASE.
ALRIGHT, SO JUST TO BEAT THAT HORSE TO DEATH AND, AND BEYOND.
UM, ALRIGHT SO LET'S TALK ABOUT UH, THE UDC CODE IF WE COULD.
SO, UH, WHAT IS THE SECTION WE'RE LOOKING AT? SECTION 35 DASH 3 85 82.
I'M SORRY WHAT D 2 3 85 D 2D TWO.
SO AGAIN, UH, I THINK THERE ARE TWO ISSUES THAT ARE WORTH DISCUSSING HERE AND YOU CAN CORRECT ME IF I'M WRONG ON EITHER ONE OF THEM.
ONE IS, UM, DEALING WITH A, SOMETHING THAT WE'RE NOT DEALING WITH TODAY, WHICH IS IF THEY WERE ASKING FOR A COMMERCIAL USE TO BRING IT IN LINE WITH THE SURROUNDING PROPERTIES ON THAT BLOCK FACE, THEN THEY WOULD HAVE TO MEET A 200 FOOT SETBACK TO THE PROPERTY LINE OF THE NEAREST RESIDENTIAL.
AND THEN WHAT WE'RE ACTUALLY DEALING WITH TODAY IS THE SECOND CONDITIONAL IN 3 85 D TWO, WHICH IS A RESIDENTIAL USE, WHICH MEANS WE NEED TO BE 200 FEET FROM THE MONOPOLE TO THE STRUCTURE ITSELF, THE NEAREST RESIDENTIAL STRUCTURE.
HOWEVER, EVEN WITH THAT, WE'RE STILL AT 1 96 0.5 CORRECT? TO THE, TO THE STRUCTURE, YES.
BUT THE LAST PART OF 35 USC 3 85 D TWO SAYS THAT CITY COUNCIL CAN REDUCE THAT 200 FOOT SETBACK.
ALRIGHT, SO TODAY'S APPLICATION BASICALLY ASKS FOR THREE THINGS, R FIVE TO RM FIVE, A SPECIFIC USE AUTHORIZATION FOR THE MONOPOLE WIRELESS TOWER, RIGHT? MM-HMM
ANY FURTHER QUESTIONS ON MY LEFT, ON MY RIGHT? COMMISSIONER CHASE? ALRIGHT, AGAIN, THIS IS A DISTRICT FIVE CASE.
UM, SO IT IS TO ME FOR DISCUSSION AND MOTION.
UM, I THINK THIS IS A COMPELLING CASE.
UH, I THINK I MIGHT HAVE BEEN WILLING TO EVEN LOOK AT IT IF IT HAD BEEN COMMERCIAL AND CONSIDER RECOMMENDING APPROVAL OF LESS OF A SETBACK ON THE 200 FEET.
I THINK MOVING THE TOWER BACK ALONG THAT SETBACK, UH, TO GET THAT 1 96 0.5 MEANS THAT ANY VARIATION FROM THE 200 FOOT LIMIT IS DI MINIMIS.
AND SO, UH, GIVEN THAT AND GIVEN THE PRESENTATION AND NO COMMENT FROM COLLINS GARDEN, UM, AT LEAST NO WRITTEN COMMENT TO US, UH, AND NO PUBLIC OPPOSITION TO US WITHIN 200 FEET, I'M GOING TO MOVE FOR APPROVAL OF ITEM NUMBER 12 AS AMENDED SECOND.
COMMISSIONER KELLUM HAS SECONDED ANY DISCUSSION COMMISSIONER'S TO MY LEFT COMMISSIONER.
ALRIGHT, THE MOTION IS FOR APPROVAL AS AMENDED FOR ITEM 12 BY ME WITH A SECOND BY COMMISSIONER KELLUM.
YOU'RE ON TO CITY COUNCIL WITHIN SIX MONTHS.
UH, I BELIEVE THE FI FINAL ITEM ON OUR AGENDA
[Approval of Minutes ]
IS APPROVAL OF THE MINUTES.ANY CORRECTIONS, AMENDMENTS, AMENDMENTS, CHANGES, PUNCTUATION FIXES, GRAMMAR.
COMMISSIONER CHASE? SEEING NONE.
[00:50:01]
THERE A MOTION? MOTION TO APPROVE.ALRIGHT, IS THERE A SECOND? SECOND, UH, UH, MOTION TO APPROVE BY COMMISSIONER S SIPES WITH A SECOND BY COMMISSIONER BARTOS.
UH, THIS WILL BE A VOTE BY ACCLIMATION.
ALRIGHT, THE MINUTES ARE APPROVED.
IS THERE A DIRECTOR'S REPORT? NO REPORT.
UM, BEFORE WE ADJOURN, I DO WANT TO LET, UH, COMMISSIONERS KNOW THAT WE DO HAVE A CURRENT VACANCY FOR OUR VICE CHAIR.
UM, SO NEXT MEETING WE WILL HAVE AN ELECTION FOR VICE CHAIR AT THE VERY LEAST.
AND WE WILL NOTICE FOR BOTH VICE CHAIR AND PRO TIM IN THE EVENT THAT THE PRO TIM IS ELEVATED TO VICE CHAIR.
BUT THAT WILL BE SOMETHING THAT WILL BE ON THE NEXT AGENDA.
SO CONSIDER THINK ABOUT IT, RUN, THINK ABOUT NOMINATING YOUR FRIENDS AS TORTURE, WHATEVER THE CASE MAY BE.
WITH THAT BEING SAID, THE TIME IS ONE 50 AND THIS MEETING OF THE ZONING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF SAN ANTONIO IS ADJOURNED.
