I DON'T KNOW IF YOU ALL EVER BEEN OUT THERE, BUT I'M GONNA READ WHAT WAS GIVEN TO ME BY CONCERNS AND AN EMAIL WAS RECEIVED ON 11 FOUR FROM FOREST WILSON.
AND THESE LOTS ARE SMALL COMPARED TO SINGLE FAMILY LOTS IN OTHER NEIGHBORHOOD IN SAN ANTONIO.
INCREASING FROM ONE HOUSES TO THREE HOUSES, TRIPLE THE POPULATION DENSITY IN, IN ALREADY DENSE NEIGHBORHOOD, INCREASING TO THREE HOMES.
DOESN'T ALLOW ENOUGH ROOM FOR CARS TO PARK SIDE BY SIDE ON THEIR LOT AND AT LEAST THREE VEHICLES WILL END UP PARKED ON THE STREET.
HER ELEMENTARY IS CAT CORNER FROM THIS LOT.
THIS WILL INCREASE CONGESTION AT THIS INTERSECTION AND INCREASE DANGER FOR THE CHILDREN AND PARENTS WALKING TO SCHOOL.
WOULD THIS HAPPEN IN OTHER NEIGHBORHOODS? THIS IS HAPPENING WITH INCREASES INCREASE IN REGULARITY AND WE ASK THE CITY TO PUT A STOP TO THIS TYPE OF DEVELOPMENT.
I DON'T KNOW WHO IS THE, I KNOW, UH, DISTRICT TWO, I HAVEN'T MET YOU YET, BUT IF YOU ALL GO BY THERE IN THE AFTERNOON WHEN THEY DISMISSING, AND I'M GONNA GO TO MY SEAT, YOU WILL SEE FROM PINE STREET ALL THE WAY UP TO SOUTH OLIVE STREET CARS APART, PICKING UP THE CHILDREN.
THEY PICK BACK UP ON THIS SIDE OF OLIVE ALL THE WAY TO HACKBERRY AND WHEN IT'S EVENT, THEY'RE ON OLIVE STREET ALL THE WAY UP TO VIRGINIA STREET.
AND WHEN YOU'RE LOOKING AT IT AND YOU'RE GONNA PUT THREE OF THOSE LITTLE CUBICLES SIDE BY SIDE, WHERE ARE THEY GONNA PARK AT? IT'S NOT ENOUGH SPACE, YOU KNOW, FOR THEM TO PROVIDE ADEQUATE PARKING AND FOR THE SAFETY OF THE CHILDREN.
AND IF MY DIS DISTRICT TWO PERSON, I KNOW JAYLEN, BUT I'VE NEVER MET YOU.
[00:10:01]
OUT DURING DISMISSAL TIME, YOU WOULD SEE THE CONGESTED PROBLEM THAT WE'RE HAVING IN THAT NEIGHBORHOOD.EVEN THOUGH SAPD NOW THEY COME BY AND WRITE TICKETS FOR PARKING ON THE STREET.
BUT IF THESE PARENTS HAVE, YOU KNOW, NO OTHER WAY BUT GET THEIR CHILDREN, IT'S A VERY CONGESTED AREA.

I WAS CALLING ABOUT, UH, THE ZONING.
IT SAYS FOR THREE HOUSES I AM AGAINST THAT BECAUSE WE LIVE RIGHT ACROSS THE STREET.
IT WOULD TAKE UP ALL THE PARKING SPACE ON THE STREET.
PLUS WE ARE ACROSS FROM THE SCHOOL, TWO HOUSES, UH, APARTMENT, WHATEVER I COULD SEE FOR THREE.
OREGON AND I LIVE AT UH, TWO 19 DOUGLAS WAY AND I'M CALLING ABOUT THE CASE OF Z DASH 2 25 DASH HUNDRED 7 0 2 4 1.

AND I LIVE ACROSS THE STREET FROM IT AND IT
AND THEN IT WILL BE NOWHERE TO PARK EVEN AFTER THAT.
FOR THE FAMILIES THAT LIVE RIGHT AROUND HERE.
WHERE'S ALL THE OTHER CARS GONNA PARK THAT GO TO THESE THREE HOUSES? TOTAL CHAOS.
I SAY NO TO THREE HOUSES ON THAT LOT.
NO, THAT'S IT FOR PUBLIC COMMENT.

THE PROPOSED C TWO DISTRICT IS NOT APPROPRIATE.
THE REQUEST TO REZONE IS TO PERMIT A TO PERMIT PROFESSIONAL OFFICES STAFF HAS CONCERNS OF THE PROPOSED COMMERCIAL ZONE IS INAPPROPRIATELY LOCATED WITHIN AN ESTABLISHED RESIDENTIAL NEIGHBORHOOD, INCREASING THE POTENTIAL FOR FUTURE COMMERCIAL ENCROACHMENT.
ALTERNATIVELY, THE REQUEST CAN BE AC ACCOMMODATED BY KEEPING THE BASE ZONE MF 33 WHILE CONDITIONING DOWN THE PROFESSIONAL OFFICE USE LIMITING THE FUTURE ENCROACH ENCROACHMENT.
STAFF RECOMMENDS DENIAL WITH AN ALTERNATE RECOMMENDATION FOR MF 33 CD MULTIFAMILY DISTRICT WITH A CONDITIONAL USE FOR PROFESSIONAL OFFICE.

THE AMEND THE REQUEST TO MF 33 CD FOR PROFESSIONAL OFFICE.
IF WE COULD HAVE THE APPLICANT PLEASE.
AND SIR, IF YOU WOULD TELL US YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS FOR THE RECORD.

THE LAST TIME I WAS HERE, THEY ASKED ME FOR A SIDE PLA AND THEY, I ALREADY TURNED IT IN.
THEY HAVE IT AND WHAT I'M GONNA DO IS GONNA HELP THE NEIGHBORS A LOT.
IS THERE ANY PUBLIC COMMENT? THERE IS NO PUBLIC COMMENT FOR THIS ITEM.
UH, MR. ROMO, UH, SO YOU ARE OFFICIALLY AMENDING YOUR REQUEST TO MF 33 WITH A CONDITIONAL USE FOR OFFICE, CORRECT? YES, SIR.

GOOD AFTERNOON FOR THE RECORD.
MY NAME IS MITSUKO RAMOS WITH GOVERNMENT RELATIONS GROUP OF TEXAS, AND I REPRESENT GARCIA EVENT CENTERS, LLC.
MY CLIENT'S NAME IS PETER GARCIA AND OWNS A PROPERTY AT 3 3 7 1 ROOSEVELT AVENUE.
UM, AS YOU'RE AWARE, THE BUSINESS HAS BEEN IN OPERATION SINCE 1979 AND THEY ARE FAMILY FOCUSED.
UH, THEY SPONSOR LOCAL HIGH SCHOOL EVENTS.
THEY PROVIDE MENTORSHIP, CREATE JOBS, AND UTILIZES SMALL LOCAL BUSINESSES IN THE AREA.
TOURS OF THEIR, UH, ONE OF THEIR EVENT CENTERS OFF OF CALLAHAN ROAD ARE PROVIDED TO THOSE INTERESTED IN LEARNING ABOUT THEIR BUSINESS OPERATIONS IF THEY HAVE ANY CONCERNS, WHICH WILL BE MIRRORED AT THE ROOSEVELT AVENUE EVENTS CENTER.
UH, RECENTLY THEY HOSTED A COMMUNITY MEETING ON NOVEMBER 1ST AT 10:00 AM AND THESE INVITATIONS WERE EXTENDED TO MS. JANE HENRY, THE PRESIDENT OF MISSION, SAN JOSE NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATION, AS WELL AS THEIR MEMBERS.
UM, UNFORTUNATELY THEY WERE NOT ABLE TO ATTEND, BUT THIS IS SOMETHING THAT, UH, HAS BEEN OFFERED DURING THE LAST TWO YEARS
[00:25:01]
AND IS ALSO, UH, OPEN TO ANYONE WHO'S INTERESTED IN THEIR BUSINESS.UM, AS YOU SAW TWO WEEKS AGO, THIS IS THE EXISTING CONDITION OF THE VACANT STRUCTURE.
UM, IT NEEDS TO BE CLEANED UP.
THERE ARE HOMELESS PEOPLE WHO LIVE, UH, BEHIND THE PROPERTY ON THE ALLEY.
AND SO THIS REZONING WILL ALLOW GARCIA PROPERTIES TO RENOVATE THE BA VACANT BUILDING, MAKE IT SAFER.
UM, THEY'LL ALSO BE, UM, OFFERING, IF THEY HAVE BINGO, IT'LL BE DURING THE DAY UNTIL ABOUT FOUR O'CLOCK WITH SPECIAL EVENTS OCCURRING IN THE EVENING.
LIVE MUSIC IS PROPOSED ON THE ROOFTOP TERRACE.
IT IS NOT A BAR, UM, UNTIL ABOUT 10:30 PM NO LATER THAN 10:30 PM AND ALSO THERE'S AN IDEA TO, UH, GET SOME SPECIAL EVENT PERMITS FOR FARMER'S MARKETS DURING THE WEEKENDS THAT'S SIMILAR TO THAT OFFER AT THE PEARL.
UM, DURING THOSE EVENTS, UH, MY CLIENT WILL COORDINATE WITH ALL THE DIFFERENT SCHOOL DISTRICTS NEARBY TO INVITE THEIR, UH, MUSICIANS, UH, TO PLAY, YOU KNOW, MUSIC AT THE, AT THE PROPERTY, UM, WITH THE PROPERTY BE BEING LOCATED WITHIN A STATE ENTERPRISE ZONE, WHICH IS BLIGHTED AREA, EXCEEDING 20% OF THE POVERTY RATE, UM, AND HOMELESS ENCAMPMENTS, UM, JUST BEHIND THE PROPERTY.
IT'S REALLY IMPORTANT FOR THIS AREA TO BE CLEANED UP AND REVITALIZED THE AREA.
UM, YOU SAW THE CONCEPTUAL DESIGN THAT WAS, UH, INCLUDED IN THE LAST PRESENTATION.
YOU HAD A QUESTION ABOUT HDRC ON, UH, FEBRUARY 5TH, 2025.
THE SAME, UH, CONCEPTUAL PLANS WERE PROVIDED TO HDRC AND THEIR APPROVAL WAS GRANTED, UH, FOR CONCEPTUAL DESIGN.
UM, AS I STATED BEFORE, IT'S AN EYESORE.
THIS IS GONNA LOOK ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS, AND IT'S GOING TO, YOU KNOW, BRING A LOT OF, UM, ENERGY, POSITIVE ENERGY, YOU KNOW, TO THE AREA.
THIS IS THE OFFICIAL DOCUMENT SIGNED BY SHANNON, UH, SHAY MILLER, UH, APPROVING, UH, OR DOCUMENTING APPROVAL BY HDRC OF THE CONCEPTUAL APPROVAL.
THE CONCEPTUAL APPROVAL APPROVED THE DECORATIVE METAL SCREENING ALONG THE EASTERN AND NORTHERN FACADES, THE ROOFTOP TERRACE AT THE NORTHERN END OF THE STRUCTURE TO INCLUDE AN ENCLOSED SPACE AND AWNING.
UH, THEY APPROVED THE, UH, MODIFICATION OF THE PRIMARY FACADE AND INSTALLATION OF LANDSCAPING.
THE CONDITIONS FOR FINAL APPROVAL, WHICH APPLICATION WILL BE SUBMITTED AFTER THE ZONING CASE IS APPROVED, IS TO PROVIDE THE SPECS FOR ALL OF THOSE IMPROVEMENTS, DETAILED ARCHITECTURAL PLANS AND LANDSCAPE PLANS.
AND THEY ALSO ASK THAT THEY RECYCLE ANY SALVAGEABLE MATERIALS.
UH, YOU ALSO HAD A QUESTION ABOUT THE NOISE ORDINANCE.
UM, YOU KNOW, I FOUND AN ARTICLE THAT WAS CONSISTENT.
I REVIEWED THIS ALONG WITH THE ARTICLE IN THE, UH, CITY CODE, AND IT DOES SHOW THAT THE DECIBEL, UM, LIMITS FOR BUSINESS IS 70, UM, DURING THE DAY AND 63 AT NIGHT.
UM, THEY DO HAVE HOURS THAT ARE SPECIFIED AS WELL, AND IF, UH, ANY OF THE NEIGHBORS HAVE ANY COMPLAINTS, THERE ARE WAYS TO RESOLVE IT.
UM, I LOOKED AT AMAZON AND FOUND THAT YOU CAN BUY A DECIBEL, UH, READER FOR LIKE $12.
SO IF A PERSON IS AT THEIR HOUSE AND THEY FEEL LIKE THE MUSIC'S TOO LOUD, THEY CAN JUST PULL THAT OUT.
AND IF IT'S BEYOND, UH, THE LIMITS, THEY CAN, UH, EITHER CALL THE PROPERTY OWNER OR THEY CAN CALL THE POLICE.
THIS IS A SITE PLAN THAT YOU SAW LAST, UH, THE LAST TWO WEEKS.
UM, IT ALSO INCLUDES THE PROPOSED PARKING.
UM, 160 SPACES ARE, ARE PROPOSED, WHICH ACTUALLY EXCEEDS THE REQUIREMENTS.
UM, AND WE DON'T EVEN THINK THAT WE WOULD NEED THAT MANY.
UM, THERE ARE USUALLY ABOUT THREE TO FOUR PEOPLE PER VEHICLE.
AND IF THERE ARE ANY EVENTS THAT ARE, UM, EXPECTING LARGER AMOUNTS, THEN THERE'S ALSO TRANSPORTATION ARRANGEMENTS THAT CAN BE MADE WITH, UH, LIMOUSINES AND, AND LIMO BUSES, ET CETERA.
UH, WE SHOWED YOU THE LANDSCAPE, LIKE THE CONCEPTUAL, YOU KNOW, PLAN, IF YOU WILL, TO SHOW WHAT WOULD BE, UH, PLANTED ALONG THE FRONTAGE.
UM, AND THESE ARE, YOU KNOW, DROUGHT RESISTANT PLANTS.
IT'LL, IT'LL ACTUALLY MAKE A HUGE DIFFERENCE IN BEAUTIFICATION OF THE CORRIDOR.
SO, UM, AND, AND IT IS REQUIRED FOR THIS PROJECT.
UM, THE, THE, UH, REQUIREMENTS FOR, UH, CANOPY AND SO FORTH IS REDUCED, BUT, UM, ONCE IMPROVEMENTS ARE MADE AND IF THERE'S EXCAVATION, UM, THERE ARE REQUIREMENTS FOR ALL OF THAT.
UM, THESE, THIS IS A PICTURE THAT I TOOK FROM MY CAR.
UH, THE HOMELESS PEOPLE WHO LIVE THERE TO THE LEFT, YOU'LL SEE THE BACKYARD OF THE MISSION, UH, SAN JOSE NEIGHBORHOOD.
UM, THERE'S LIKE A CUL-DE-SAC AND PEOPLE ARE ACTUALLY LIVING NOT JUST IN THE ALLEYWAY, BUT ON THAT ACTUAL CUL-DE-SAC WHERE THERE WAS A HOUSE THAT WAS DEMOLISHED.
SO IT'S, IT'S PRETTY DANGEROUS.
I THINK THAT RENOVATION OF THIS AREA WILL PROVIDE A SAFER AREA WITH, UH, SECURITY CAMERAS, LIGHTING.
UM, AND WE PLAN TO COORDINATE WITH CPS ENERGY AS WELL.
UM, SINCE THAT'S A ELECTRIC EASEMENT TO SEE IF MAYBE WE CAN INSTALL SOME SECURITY CAMERAS ON
[00:30:01]
THEIR POLES.SO, AS WE DISCUSSED, UH, TWO WEEKS AGO, THIS PROJECT DOES CONTRIBUTE TO THE REVITALIZATION OF THE AREA, AND IT'S CONSISTENT WITH THE CITY'S COMPREHENSIVE PLAN, WHICH I REVIEWED IN DETAIL.
UM, IT'S, IT'S CONSISTENT WITH THE GOALS OF, UM, IMPROVING SAFETY WITH LIGHTING AND, AND ALSO MAINTAINING THE CHARACTER AND INTEGRITY OF SAN UM, JOSE MISSION.
UH, IT WILL CREATE JOBS AND THE GOAL OF MY CLIENT IS TO HIRE LOCALLY WITHIN THE AREA.
HE WILL BE INSTALLING BICYCLE FACILITIES TO ENCOURAGE BIKERS TO BE ABLE TO, UM, BIKE TO WORK AND, AND HAVE A SAFE PLACE TO PARK THEIR BICYCLES.
IT'LL OBVIOUSLY BEAUTIFY THE AREA WITH THE LANDSCAPING AND IT WILL, UM, PROVIDE A POSITIVE ENERGY AND, UM, EVENTS FOR RESIDENTS AND VISITORS ALIKE TO GO AND ENJOY, UM, EITHER BEFORE OR AFTER VISITING MISSION IN SAN JOSE.
UH, THE COMMUNITY PLAN INCLUDES THE SAN ANTONIO TOMORROW, UH, COMPREHENSIVE PLAN.
AND THEIR VISION, UH, WAS ALSO TO REVITALIZE THE AREA, BEAUTIFY THE AREA, SO FORTH.
THE ROOSEVELT CORRIDOR REINVESTMENT PLAN ENCOURAGES THE DEVELOPMENT ALONG ROOSEVELT AVENUE AND CREATE NEW JOBS, WHICH IS WHAT THIS WILL DO.
UM, AND, UH, THE SOUTH CENTRAL COMMUNITY PLAN ALSO ENCOURAGES HAVING THE BLEND OF COMMERCIAL AND RESIDENTIAL ALONG, UH, ROOSEVELT AVENUE WITH MISSION SAN JOSE BEING RIGHT ACROSS THE STREET IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD, RIGHT BEHIND.
I THINK THAT THIS PARTICULAR USE WITH, UM, HAVING NOT JUST SPECIAL EVENTS, BUT HAVING OTHER EVENTS THAT THE RESIDENTS CAN ATTEND, UH, FREE OF CHARGE WILL, WILL REALLY NOT JUST IMPROVE THE AREA, BUT IMPROVE THE QUALITY OF LIFE FOR EVERYONE WHO'S, WHO'S, UM, EITHER LIVING IN THE AREA OR EVEN OUTSIDE OF THE AREA.
UM, AGAIN, WE HAD SPOKEN AND MET WITH, UH, PROPERTY OWNERS WITHIN 200 FEET AND ALSO A LITTLE BIT OUTSIDE OF THAT, MOST OF WHOM, UM, SUPPORTED.
WE HAD NOT MET ANYONE WHO LIVED IN THAT AREA, WHO ACTUALLY VOICED TO US ANY SORT OF CONCERNS.
THEY ARE REALLY EXCITED ABOUT THIS.
UM, AND SO I WANT YOU TO TAKE CONSIDERATION THAT THESE ARE THE PEOPLE WHO ARE GONNA BE MOSTLY IMPACTED BY THIS PROJECT.
AND I THINK IT'S REALLY IMPORTANT TO CONSIDER EVERYONE'S OPINION EVEN IF THEY LIVE OUTSIDE OF THAT AREA.
BUT THE PEOPLE WHO LIVE BEHIND THE, THE PROPERTY AND WHO WORK AND OWN BUSINESSES AROUND THE PROPERTY, THEY'RE THE ONES WHO ARE GONNA BE MOSTLY IMPACTED AND THEY HAVE REALLY ENCOURAGED AND CHEERED FOR THIS PROJECT TO GO THROUGH.
UM, AS YOU'RE AWARE, WE HAD A TWO WEEK CONTINUANCE AND THE PURPOSE OF THAT WAS TO BE ABLE TO MEET WITH, UH, MS. JANE HENRY AND THE BOARD MEMBERS OF MSS J AND A.
UM, TO BE TRANSPARENT, UH, WE HAVE WRITTEN CORRESPONDENCE WHERE WE HAVE ATTEMPTED SIX TIMES TO MEET WITH JANE AND THE BOARD.
IT, IT TOOK A LOT OF EFFORT AND COOPERATION WITH THE COUNCIL WOMEN'S AID AS WELL AS, YOU KNOW, ZONING COMMISSIONER TO FACILITATE A MEETING THAT FINALLY HAPPENED YESTERDAY.
UM, BUT IF IT WEREN'T FOR THAT, I DON'T THINK THAT THEY WOULD'VE MET WITH US.
I UNDERSTAND THAT, UM, YOU KNOW, THERE WERE A LOT OF CONFLICTS MAYBE WITH SCHEDULES AND SO FORTH, BUT I'M REALIZING NOW AFTER SEEING THE OPPOSITION FLYER THAT THEY HAD BEEN SENDING OUT AND THE FORMS IN, IN OPPOSITION THAT THEY'VE SPENT ALL THIS TIME REALLY JUST SEEKING OPPOSITION FROM PEOPLE, WHICH I HAVE NO PROBLEM IF PEOPLE ARE OPPOSED, BUT THE FLYER THAT WAS SENT OUT, UM, IS SLANDEROUS, IS, UH, DISHONEST IS UNETHICAL.
AND I NORMALLY DON'T EVEN SAY THESE TYPE OF WORDS, BUT I AM SO ALARMED BY IT AND DISTURBED AND DISAPPOINTED THAT THE WHOLE PROCESS HAS BEEN DISRESPECTED WITH THIS TIME THAT I JUST NEED TO SAY IT.
UM, SO I APPRECIATE YOUR LISTENING TO ANY SORT OF PHONE CALLS OR LOOKING AT THE FORMS, BUT IF YOU LOOK AT THE FLYER THAT WAS SENT OUT, I WOULD EVEN OPPOSE IT IF I THOUGHT THAT THESE HORRIBLE THINGS WOULD BE HAPPENING WITH THIS PROJECT.
SO I JUST WANTED TO, TO MAKE THAT CLEAR.
DO WE HAVE VOICEMAILS? WE HAVE VOICEMAILS AND PUBLIC SPEAKERS.
IS ANYONE HERE PRESENT IN THIS ROOM? DID Y'ALL LEAVE A VOICEMAIL? ANYONE? ANYONE? ALRIGHT.
'CAUSE WE'RE ONLY GONNA, WE'RE ONLY GONNA PLAY A VOICEMAIL OR HAVE YOU SPEAK.

UH, I'M ALSO OPPOSED TO THE OUTDOOR MUSIC AND I OPPOSED THE BINGO.
UH, THIS IS NOT, THIS IS NOT APPROPRIATE FOR THE MISSION SAN JOSE BECAUSE, UH, THE MISSION IS, UH, SO CLOSE.
WELL, THE MISSION, IT'S SO CLOSE TO THE MISSION PLUS THE MISSION BEING IN THE WORLD HERITAGE AS PART OF THE WORLD HERITAGE HERE IN SAN ANTONIO.
AGAIN, I'M OPPOSING THE CHANGE TO THE IDC TWO TO THAT, TO THAT.
UH, AGAIN, HELEN E IS THE NAME AT 1 1 9 RAVEN HILL STREET, SW.

MY ADDRESS IS 27 43 ROOSEVELT AVENUE, SAN ANTONIO, TEXAS 7 8 2 1 4.
AND I'M THE OWNER OF CAROL'S ART AND FRAMING AT 27 43 ROOSEVELT AVENUE.
I DO SUPPORT THE PROJECT BEING PROPOSED, BUT I DO HAVE SOME CONCERNS.
THE REDEVELOPMENT WOULD BE DIRECTLY ACROSS FROM THE NATIONAL PARKS AND THE MISSION SAN JOSE CHURCH PROPER.
UH, THE, UH, AREA HAS LONG BEEN OVERLOOKED BY THE CITY AND COUNTY.
UH, THE OUTDOOR MUSIC VENUES, WHICH ARE SOUGHT AFTER ALL OVER THE DOWNTOWN AREA AND ACTUALLY PATIOS ACROSS THE CITY WOULD ACTUALLY BE WELCOMED IF THE NOISE LEVELS ARE REGULATED.
UNFORTUNATELY, THE BUSINESS MODEL INVOLVES BINGO, WHICH, UH, IS NOT WELCOME IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD.
UH, THE SAN ANTONIO AREA HAS THE HIGHEST CONCENTRATION OF BINGO HALLS IN THE STATE OF TEXAS.
THE CITY HAS TURNED A BLIND EYE TO THAT GROWTH.
UH, THERE MAY BE SOME CONNECTIONS.
UM, AS A BUSINESS OWNER THOUGH, I WOULD LIKE TO SEE THE REDEVELOPMENT AS IT WOULD BE THE FIRST ALONG THE CORRIDOR IN MANY, MANY, MANY YEARS.
UH, THAT GROWTH, UH, SEEMS TO BE PART OF THE, UH, STATE OF TEXAS VERSUS THE CITY REGARDING THE, UH, ROOSEVELT AVENUE STREET ITSELF.
BUT AGAIN, HAVING A BINGO HALL INVOLVED IN THIS BUSINESS MODEL WITHIN WALKING DISTANCE OF TWO OTHER ESTABLISHMENTS, UH, WOULD BE DETRIMENTAL TO THE NEIGHBORHOOD.
UH, APPRECIATE, UH, UM, YOU'RE LISTENING.

I AGREE WITH THE MISSION SAN JOSE NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATION OPPOSITION TO CHANGE THE C TWO ZONING TO IDZ TWO.
IF WE COULD HAVE OUR FIRST SPEAKER PLEASE.
HELLO, MY NAME IS PETER GARCIA WITH GARCIA PROPERTIES.
UH, WELL THANK Y'ALL FOR HAVING ME HERE.
WELL, LIKE ALL BUSINESS OWNERS OR ALL BUSINESSES, THERE'S GOOD OPERATORS AND BAD OPERATORS.
I LIKE TO CONSIDER OURSELVES A GOOD OPERATOR.
WE'VE BEEN DOING THIS FOR 40 YEARS, WHO OFFER A GOOD SERVICE, GOOD VALUE TO THE COMMUNITY.
WE ARE TRANSPARENT, WE'RE HONEST, AND I'M REAL EASY TO FIND.
SO I TAKE PRIDE IN THAT, UH, UM, YOU KNOW, WE LIKE TO DO WHAT'S WHAT'S RIGHT.
UM, I AM HAPPY THAT THE M-S-J-N-A, UH, ASSOCIATION WENT OUT THIS PAST WEEK OR TWO TO INFORM, UM, RESIDENTS WHAT WE'RE DOING.
I JUST WISH THERE WAS HONESTY THERE.
YOU KNOW, PART OF THE PROBLEM IS WHEN YOU ASK QUESTIONS, I OPPOSE PARKING OVERFLOW.
WELL, SO DO I BUT WE'RE EXCEEDING THE PARKING REQUIREMENT.
THAT'S NOT A PROPER QUESTION TO ASK RESIDENTS WHEN YOU'RE BLOCK WALKING, GETTING A PETITION.
I OPPOSE THE ELIMINATION OF LANDSCAPER REQUIREMENTS.
NOT ONCE HAVE I SAID I'M GOING TO GET RID OF LANDSCAPING.
IN FACT, REGARDLESS OF THE PARAMETERS, I'M GOING TO LANDSCAPE IT BECAUSE I FEEL THAT'S WHAT THE RIGHT THING TO DO IS.
UM, I MEAN, I I DON'T WANT TO TAKE MORE TIME.
WE'VE ALL BEEN HERE A LONG TIME, BUT I CAN SAY WE'VE BEEN AROUND AGAIN FOR 40 YEARS.
YOU CAN LOOK AT US ONLINE, YOU CAN COME SEE US, TAKE A TOUR.
YOU CAN CALL MY CELL PHONE DIRECTLY.
I'M HAPPY TO SPEAK WITH ANYBODY.
ANDREW TEJEDA AND MR. TEJEDA, IF YOU WOULD, YOUR NAME AND YOUR ADDRESS.
UH, MY FAMILY HAS BEEN THERE ALMOST 60 YEARS.
WE ARE VERY INTEGRATED IN THE COMMUNITY.
I KNOW THE PROPERTY VERY WELL TO MAJOR THOROUGH WAY ROOSEVELT MILITARY DRIVE.
HONESTLY, WHEN THEY SPEAK ABOUT THE DECIBEL LEVELS AND THE LIVE MUSIC AND I'M, I'M, I'M NOT SAYING THAT THE MUSIC IS GREAT.
I PERSONALLY DO THINK, LEMME THINK THE MUSIC IS GREAT, BUT IF YOU'RE FROM THAT CORRIDOR, WE HAVE MORE PROBLEMS WITH STREET RACERS AND EVERYTHING ELSE THAT YOU'RE NEVER GONNA HEAR THE MUSIC, YOU'RE NEVER GONNA HEAR THE MUSIC.
WE NEED A DEVELOPMENT THERE THAT'S GONNA IMPROVE THE COMMUNITY AS A WHOLE.
AND WE'VE BEEN THERE A LONG TIME.
MY MOM IS A ELECTOR AT SAN JOSE MISSION.
I DON'T KNOW ABOUT MS. HENRY, BUT I, AND I COULD BE CORRECTED, BUT I WAS AT THE ALTAR SOCIETY MISSION, SAN JOSE ALTAR SOCIETIES PARTY A COUPLE OF WEEKS AGO.
I DON'T THINK I SAW HER THERE.
SO ALTHOUGH HER OPINION IS VERY VALID AND THE PEOPLE THAT SHE REPRESENTS ARE OUTSIDE OF THE 200, THE MOST AFFECTED PEOPLE, THE PEOPLE THAT ARE THE CLOSEST TO THAT, AND I'M ONLY TWO, TWO STREETS AWAY, I'M IN FAVOR OF THAT.
[00:50:01]
WE NEED SOMETHING NEW THERE.AND THAT'S FROM THE PEOPLE THAT ARE MOST AFFECTED.
I MEAN, WE HAVE PIKA PIKA THERE AND IT'S OVERPRICED, BUT WE NEED SOMETHING ELSE.
NOBODY'S SAYING THAT IT'S GONNA BE, FROM MY UNDERSTANDING, IT'S NOT GONNA BE A FULL-TIME BINGO PARLOR.
IT'S NOT GONNA BE A FULL-TIME LIVE EVENT CENTER.
IT'S GOING TO GIVE THE PEOPLE OPPORTUNITY.
AND I KNOW FROM HISTORY, THERE'S BEEN PARTIES GOING ON AT HOUSES JUST RIGHT NEXT DOOR TO MILITARY DRIVE WITH THE MUSIC BLARING AND ALL THAT.
SO, YOU KNOW, AND I'M SURE THAT SAN JOSE BACK WHEN IT WAS BUILT, WERE HAVING A LOT OF FIESTAS THERE AND CELEBRATING WITH LIVE MUSIC.
SO I JUST WANTED TO ADD THAT I WANNA THANK EVERYONE FOR TAKING WHAT I HAVE TO SAY IN CONSIDERATION.
AND I DO APPROVE THIS DEVELOPMENT.
IT'S GONNA BE A GREAT NEW SOMETHING AND IT'S A GONNA BE A GREAT NEW SOMETHING HOPEFULLY THAT WE CONTINUE THERE BECAUSE WE NEED IT SO BADLY.
AND MR. HARBINGER, IF YOU WOULD SAY YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS AND THEN TELL US YOUR OPINION.
HELLO, MY NAME IS COREY HAR MEYER.
I'M AT 2 2 2 EAST HOUSTON STREET, 1501.
AND I'M SPEAKING TODAY IN SUPPORT OF REZONING FOR ITEM NUMBER TWO.
UM, FOR EXAMPLE, ALLOWING THIS WOOD TO BE ABLE TO ESTABLISH AN EVENT CENTER, LIVE MUSIC SUCH FORTH.
I FEEL LIKE CREATING A COMMUNITY THAT CAN ACTUALLY GROW TOGETHER IS A MAIN PRIORITY.
I HAVE SEEN THIS BUILDING BEFORE I HAVE BEEN IN THAT AREA.
IT HAS ROOM FOR GROWTH, IT HAS ROOM FOR OPPORTUNITY, BUT IN THIS COMMUNITY YOU DON'T SEE AN INCENTIVE FOR PEOPLE TO ACTUALLY GO OUT, ENJOY AS A FAMILY AND ACTUALLY DO THINGS.
IT'S KIND OF, THERE'S A LOT OF IMPROVEMENT THAT COULD HAPPEN THERE.
SO BY IMPROVING, ALLOWING THIS, BEING ABLE TO RENOVATE THIS BUILDING, IT WOULD NOT JUST MAKE THE ENVIRONMENT CLEANER, SAFER, CREATE JOBS, BUT ALSO HELP INTACT THIS COMMUNITY AND HELP IT GROW AS A WHOLE.
UM, WITH THAT SAID, UM, I'M NOT REALLY SURE WHY PEOPLE WOULD OPPOSE THE RENOVATION OF THIS IN TERMS OF IT POSSIBLY BEING SOMETHING ELSE LIKE A TIRE SHOP OR A LIQUOR STORE OR SOMETHING THAT WOULD BRING NOT JUST NOISE AS WELL, BUT ALSO ACTIVITIES THAT YOU DON'T WANT IN THAT ENVIRONMENT THAT'S GONNA DECREASE THAT ENVIRONMENT'S OVERALL HEALTH.
SO IT IS CLOSE TO MISSION SAN JOSE.
AND IF THEY DID HAVE SUCH THINGS AS THE FARMER MARKERS LIKE THEY PRESENTED EARLIER, THAT'S SOMETHING I LOOK FORWARD TO GOING TO BEFORE OR AFTER WHEN I'M IN THAT AREA.
BUT I DO FEEL LIKE OVER THE LAST YEARS I HAVE SEEN THAT BUILDING, IT IS A EYESORE AND IT HAS A LOT OF OPPORTUNITY.
IT HAS A LOT OF GROWTH, A LOT OF POTENTIAL TO NOT JUST BRING LIVELIHOOD INTO THE COMMUNITY, BUT ALSO TO INTACT EVERYONE AND BRING A POSITIVE OUTLOOK IN THAT AREA.
AND SO I SUPPORT THE REZONING OF ITEM NUMBER TWO.
HI, UH, MY NAME IS ENZO MINELLI.
I LIVE AT 2 2 2 EAST HOUSTON STREET, APARTMENT, UH, FIVE, WELL, ZERO ONE.
UM, I'M COMING HERE TO TACKLE THIS FROM TWO, UH, TWO POINTS OF VIEW.
UH, FIRST AND FOREMOST, I SUPPORT, UM, THIS AND THE POINTS OF VIEW I'M TACKLING THIS FROM IS FROM MY EXPERIENCE.
MY BACKGROUND IS IN ECONOMICS UP TO AND INCLUDING THE DOCTORAL LEVEL.
THESE TYPE OF PROJECTS HELP THE COMMUNITY FROM AN ECONOMIC PERSPECTIVE, FROM BRINGING JOBS AND ALSO FROM INCREASING TR TRAFFIC FLOW.
AND I DO, I DON'T SEE HOW A REZONING, UM, SHOULD BE ABLE TO STOP THAT, ESPECIALLY WITH RESPECT TO HOW SAN ANTONIO IS AS A COMMUNITY.
FROM THE SECOND POINT OF VIEW, I WOULD SAY NORMALLY YOU HAVE YOUNG ADULTS LIKE MYSELF.
UM, WE NOR WE NORMALLY HAVE TO LEAVE, UM, SAN ANTONIO, GO TO A PLACE LIKE HE LOTES ON THE WEEKENDS FOR FARMER'S MARKET.
AND I'VE NOTICED THERE THAT, UH, THAT'S ONE OF THE MOST CLOSE-KNIT COMMUNITIES.
AND I DON'T SEE, UM, OR I DON'T SEE THE LOGIC BEHIND A SYMBOL OF REZONING PREVENTING US FROM HAVING THAT IN OUR COMMUNITY HERE.
MY NAME IS ROSEMARY ANGUIANO ZUNIGA.
I AM BORN AND RAISED ON THE SOUTH SIDE.
[00:55:01]
A DESCENDANT OF PEDROZA, THE SCULPTOR OF THE ROSE WINDOW, THE, AND HE WAS THE LAND SURVEYOR AND DID MANY THINGS IN THE COMMUNITY WAY BEFORE MY TIME.I'M ALSO A, UH, CANARY ISLAND DESCENDANT, BORN AND RAISED.
I'M 60, I'M GONNA BE 65 YEARS OLD THIS MONTH.
BORN AND RAISED ON THE SOUTH SIDE.
ATTENDED SAC, PALO ALTO, UM, MILITARY TIME AS WELL.
UH, I'M VERY, VERY HAPPY ABOUT HAVING SOMETHING ELEGANT ON OUR SIDE OF TOWN.
WHEN I REMARRIED IN 2015, IT WOULD'VE BEEN NICE TO HAVE A REALLY, REALLY NICE FACILITY LIKE THAT FOR US TO, TO HAVE.
UM, I'VE BEEN TO SOME OF HIS VENUES.
THEY'RE VERY ELEGANT AND I APPRECIATE WHAT HE'S TRYING TO DO WITH THAT.
AND I'M HAPPY THAT IT CAN BE A PLACE NOT ONLY FOR JOB FAIRS, BUT THE SCHOOL DISTRICT CAN USE IT AS WELL.
UH, THERE'RE UM, MANY EVENT CENTER ACTIVITIES THAT CAN HAPPEN THERE.
UM, THE BALLROOM, OH, THE OTHER THING IS, UH, SIGNIFICANTLY IS PERHAPS EVEN INCORPORATE A CULTURAL ARTS CENTER WITH THAT BECAUSE WEST SIDE HAS GUADALUPE CULTURAL CENTER.
EAST SIDE HAS THE CARVER CENTER.
WE DON'T HAVE A CULTURAL ARTS CENTER FOR US AND THE COMMUNITY AND THE YOUTH.
UM, HE SAYS HE WILL PROVIDE FREE USE OF SPACE AND CORRECT ME IF I'M WRONG, UH, FOR CERTAIN ORGANIZATIONS, BUT THEY HAVE TO PAY THE FEE.
AND THAT'S WHAT WE DO AT THE VFW.
'CAUSE I'M A MEMBER OF THE VFW THAT'S A FEW BLOCKS AWAY TO ORGANIZATIONS, WHICH IS GREAT FOR THE COMMUNITY AND I APPRECIATE THAT.
UM, HE ALSO HOSTS EVENTS FOR SENIORS, CHILDREN, YOUTH, AND HIGH SCHOOLS.
AND I REALLY, REALLY APPRECIATE THAT BECAUSE A LOT OF THESE KIDS COME FROM ECONOMICALLY DEPRESSED AREAS.
AND AS YOU STATED, YES, IT IS ECONOMICALLY DEPRESSED AREA.
AND THAT'S WHY WE STRONGLY OPPOSE HAVING ANOTHER BINGO HALL, WHICH IS WALKING DISTANCE FROM THE LOCATION OF WHERE HE'S AT.
UM, SO HE CAN DO ALL THOSE THINGS WITH THE VENUE AND HAVE THE, THE, UM, LOCATION AS A GREAT DESTINATION LOCATION TO INCORPORATE WITH THE MISSIONS.
UH, HE'S GONNA HAVE, IT'S GONNA BE WE, IBYO BOOZE, UH, READY, JUST LIKE THE BFW.
WE CAN BRING IN YOUR, YOUR BOOZE.
THEY, I YOU SELL BEER AND WATER, I MEAN BEER AND SODAS AND WINE.
SO THEY, THEY DO SELL BEER AND WINE COOLERS, BUT YOU'RE GONNA BE ALLOWED TO TAKE YOUR OWN LIQUOR LIKE WE DO WITH THE VFW.
UM, THE ONE THING I DON'T LIKE IS IT SEEMS HE'S VERY DETERMINED TO HAVE THIS BINGO.
UM, PERSONALLY, OUR VFWS WERE, UH, I GUESS THEY, WHAT WE DO IS WE LOAN OUR BINGO LICENSE TO BINGO HALLS.
AND AT ONE TIME WE WERE MAKING A LOT OF MONEY.
NOW WE'RE NOT HARDLY GETTING ANYTHING.
I DON'T KNOW WHAT'S GOING ON, BUT HOW WOULD YOU WANNA, WHY WOULD YOU WANNA OPEN ANOTHER BINGO HALL WHEN YOU'RE, WE'RE NOT EVEN PRODUCING ENOUGH INCOME TO PRO, YOU KNOW, WHATEVER YOU PROMISED TO THE NONPROFITS THAT ARE LETTING YOU USE OUR BINGO LICENSES.
SHE'S GIVING HER TIME TO MS. HENRY.
THAT'S GONNA BE TWO PEOPLE GIVING UP THEIR TIME FOR JANE HENRY.
SO WE ARE TOPPED OUT AT NINE MINUTES.
UM, IS THIS HAN? MY NAME IS JANE HENRY.
UM, I LIVE, I'M PRESIDENT OF MISSIONS SAN JOSE NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATION.
UH, I LIVE AT 5 22 EAST DIXON AVENUE, WHICH IS ABOUT A HALF A BLOCK WEST OF THE OLD BOWLING ALLEY.
UM, AND I'M LIVING IN THE HOUSE THAT MY FATHER BOUGHT WHEN IT WAS FIRST BUILT IN 1954 BEFORE THE BOWLING ALLEY EVER EXISTED.
AND, AND THINKING ABOUT THIS CASE, I'D LIKE TO SAY THAT OUR CITY AND OUR CITY COUNCIL HAS COME A LONG WAY SINCE THEN.
IN 1965, I DON'T KNOW WHAT KIND OF CITY COUNCIL WAS EVEN AVAILABLE TO, OR ZONING COMMISSION WAS AVAILABLE TO HAVE THIS KIND OF DISCUSSION THAT WOULD ALLOW A BOWLING ALLEY TO EXTEND TO WITHIN SEVEN INCHES OF THE BACK BORDERLINE OF THE PROPERTY AND RIGHT NEXT TO, UM, A RESIDENTIAL NEIGHBORHOOD.
BUT, UH, I DON'T KNOW WHAT THINGS WERE LIKE WHEN THAT BOWLING ALLEY WAS THERE.
UM, BUT THE, THE CASE AT HAND IS WE'VE COME A LONG WAY SINCE THEN.
[01:00:01]
CORRIDOR HAS BECOME THE ONLY, OR IS THE ONLY MISSION IN THE MISSION HISTORIC DISTRICT THAT HAS DIRECT ACCESS TO A COMMERCIAL AREA, COMMERCIAL ZONE.AND THAT'S ALONG ROOSEVELT AVENUE FROM THE TOP OF THE MISSION DOWN TO MISSION SAN JOSE.
AND NOW WE'VE COME A LONG WAY WITH THE NATIONAL PARKS DESIGNATION BEING PART OF THE NATIONAL PARKS, UM, PART OF THE NOW WORLD HERITAGE CENTER, WORLD HERITAGE SITE, AND WE ARE A MISSION HISTORIC DISTRICT.
WE ARE IN THE WORLD HERITAGE BUFFER ZONE AND MISSION.
SAN JOSE IS VERY CONCERNED ABOUT PROTECTING WHAT GOES ON HERE AND IN THE WHOLE MISSION DISTRICT.
UM, WE FEEL THAT IDZ DOES NOT BELONG ANYWHERE IN THIS CORRIDOR.
IDZ IS A HIGH HIGHER INTENSITY, UH, ZONING THAT BELONGS ON MILITARY DRIVE OR FURTHER DOWN ROOSEVELT CLOSER TO, UM, FOUR 10.
WE, AS I'VE SAID BEFORE, WE SUPPORT KEEPING THE ZONING AT C TWO.
AND, UM, THE WHOLE ROOSEVELT CORRIDOR WAS INVOLVED IN THE, THE REZONING, THE DOWN ZONING OF THAT CORRIDOR IN 2018, UM, RECOMMENDED BY THE WORLD HERITAGE, UM, ORGANIZATION.
ANYWAY, UH, SO A LOT OF THE, THE, UM, THE BUSINESSES THAT WERE ZONED C TWO WERE DOWN, DOWN ZONE TO C ONE.
THESE TWO PLOTS BETWEEN BONNER AVENUE AND, WELL, THE ARTHUR GARCIA'S, UM, PARCEL AND PETER GARCIA'S PARCEL WERE ALLOWED TO STAY AT C TWO.
SO IT WOULD BE TOTALLY OUT OF LINE TO INCREASE THE, UH, ZONING OPTION TO IDZ AS THE APPLICANT SAYS, GIVING THEM MORE FLEXIBLE OPTIONS.
AND YES, IT DOES GIVE THEM MORE FLEXIBLE OPTIONS TO HAVE, UM, UH, LOWER LANDSCAPING REQUIREMENTS AND TO HAVE, UH, MORE COMMERCIAL ESTABLISHMENTS.
AND OUR, OUR BOARD, WHEN WE FIRST REVIEWED THIS CASE, EVEN WHEN HE, AT THE TIME THAT HE WANTED IDZ THREE WITH USES IN C3 AND O2, WHICH IS, UH, FOR AN UNLIMITED, UH, OFFICE TOWER WITH, UH, RETAIL ON THE BOTTOM, WE WERE JUST VERY PERPLEXED.
AND WE EVEN SUSPECTED SINCE THE BUILDING WAS IN BAD, SUCH BAD CONDITION THAT MAYBE HE WAS JUST LOOKING FOR A HIGHER INTENSITY ZONING THAT WOULD MAKE IT MORE ATTRACTIVE TO A FUTURE, UH, BUYER OR OWNER.
AND THAT'S EVEN THE POSSIBILITY WITH A IDZ TWO, UH, WITH USES IN C TWO.
UM, BUT WE JUST DON'T SEE HOW IT'S NECESSARY AND IDZ TWO AND, UH, I THINK WE SHOULD BE VERY CAREFUL WITH THAT.
AS I'VE SAID BEFORE, AT EVERY, AT ALL OF THE EIGHT MEETINGS THAT WE'VE HAD WITH MR. UM, MR. GARCIA, UM, WHERE HE'S PRESENTED THE NEIGHBORHOOD VOTED THREE TIMES.
WE ARE DEFINITELY UNANIM UNANIMOUSLY AGAINST BINGO.
WE ALREADY HAVE TWO BINGO PARLORS, AS HAS BEEN EMPHASIZED TODAY WITHIN WALKING DISTANCE.
THERE'S ANOTHER ONE FURTHER DOWN MILITARY CLOSE TO THE HEB.
UH, WE HAVE AN EVENT CENTER AT PICO PICO PLAZA, WHICH IS RIGHT ACROSS, UH, MILITARY.
IT'S VERY NICE, UM, WELL MAINTAINED.
AND, UH, I KNOW THAT MR. GARCIA'S OTHER PROPERTIES ARE VERY NICE AND ALSO WELL MAINTAINED.
WE DON'T HAVE ANY, UH, UH, ISSUE WITH THAT.
WE DON'T HAVE AN ISSUE WITH THE EVENT CENTER.
BUT THE MAIN THING IS THE BINGO AND THE OUTDOOR MUSIC.
AND I'VE MENTIONED BEFORE THAT IF THEY'RE GOING TO HAVE OUTDOOR MUSIC, THEY WOULD HAVE TO COORDINATE WITH EVENTS AND CEREMONIES AT THE MISSION SAN JOSE.
FOR INSTANCE, LAST SATURDAY THERE WAS A DIA DE LOS MUTOS, UH, CELEBRATION, WHICH BEGAN WITH, UM, THE, UM, UH, AZTECA, THE YURA, UH, DRUMMERS AND DANCERS IN STARTING WITH RITUAL IN FRONT OF MISSION SAN JOSE CHURCH.
AND THEN PROCEEDING OUT THE WEST GATE OF THE MISSION OPENED BY THE NATIONAL PARK SERVICE, UH, UP
[01:05:01]
TO THE MISSION MARQUEE PLAZA WHERE, UH, FESTIVITIES WERE GOING ON ALL DAY AND INTO THE EVENING.AND THEY DID A PERFORMANCE THERE AND THERE WERE NUMEROUS PERFORMANCES THERE ALSO VENDORS.
AND, UM, IT WOULD, IT WOULD BE A CONFLICT CONFLICT IF SOMETHING WERE COMING FROM THE ROOFTOP TERRACE AT THE VERY CLOSE BOWLING ALLEY DURING THAT EVENT.
AND LAST TUESDAY, UM, NO, ON OCTOBER, UH, 21ST WHEN WE MET HERE, UM, THAT VERY EVENING AT THE, ON THE MISSION SAN JOSE GROUNDS, THERE WAS AN EVENT, A BIG GALA FUNDRAISER FOR SOME, SOME GROUP ON THE MISSION GROUNDS WITHIN THE WALLS.
AND, UM, THERE ARE CHAMBER MUSIC CONCERTS WITHIN THE GRAN AND THE GRANARY AND IN THE MISSION CHURCH, UH, THERE ARE SPECIAL, THERE ARE WEDDINGS AND FUNERALS GOING ON ALL THE TIME.
AND SO IT SEEMS LIKE IT MIGHT BE A CONFLICT OF INTEREST JUST FOR THE, UM, FOR THE MISSION AND THE WORLD HERITAGE CENTER, BUT CERTAINLY A CONFLICT OF INTEREST FOR THE, UH, NEIGHBORHOOD RIGHT BEHIND IT.
UH, WHICH INCLUDES ME AND ALSO ACROSS ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE MISSION.
IT'S COMPLETELY OPEN FROM THE BOWLING ALLEY TO EAST PIRON AND THAT NEIGHBORHOOD BACK THERE.
UH, SO THEY WOULD BE ABLE TO HEAR THIS, UH, WHATEVER IS WHATEVER SOUND IS BEING PRODUCED THERE.
SO THERE ARE SOME CONCERNS, AND WE KNOW THAT THE, THERE'S A NOISE ORDINANCE THAT EXISTS, UH, BUT IS DIFFICULT TO, UH, ENFORCE.
UM, AND WE JUST COULD ONLY HOPE THAT THE, UM, THE APPLICANT, MR. GARCIA WOULD BE VERY, VERY CAREFUL ABOUT COMPLYING WITH THAT.
AS FAR AS THE, UM, THE, I THINK YOU ALL ARE ALL IN RECEIPT OF THE, UH, PETITIONS THAT WE, UM, WE SENT AROUND.
WE TOOK AROUND TO OUR, OUR NEIGHBORS, UM, WHICH WERE SUBMITTED 35, UM, UM, SIGNATURES WHICH WERE SUBMITTED, UM, SAYING THAT, UM, I OPPOSE OUTDOOR MUSIC ON ROOFTOP DECKS, PATIOS, AND PARKING LOT.
I OPPOSE PARKING OVERFLOW, WHICH WAS QUESTIONABLE.
IT WAS A QUESTION AT THE LAST TIME.
AND WE ALSO DISCUSSED AT THE LAST MEETING THAT THERE'S A POSSIBILITY THAT, UH, THERE'S LATE NIGHT BINGO, WHICH CAN GO UNTIL THREE OR FOUR IN THE MORNING OR WHO KNOWS.
UM, AND IT'S BYOB, UM, AND THEN THE, UH, REDUCED LANDSCAPING REQUIREMENTS.
SO, UM, YOU ARE IN RECEIPT OF THESE, WHICH WERE ALL UNANIMOUSLY AGAINST, UH, AGAINST THE OUTDOOR MUSIC AND THE BINGO.
I REPRESENT THE HOT WELLS MISSION REACH NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATION AND RESIDE AT 1839 EAST PIRON 7 8 2 2 3.
WE SUPPORT THE MISSION SAN JOSE NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATION'S OPPOSITION TO THIS PROJECT.
10 YEARS AGO WHEN UNESCO RECOGNIZED WHAT WE HAVE NOT AS A CITY, THAT THE MISSIONS MEAN SOMETHING AND GAVE THEM WORLD HERITAGE DESIGNATION, THE CITY DECIDED TO HAVE MEETINGS WITH THE COMMUNITY.
WE HAD DOZENS OF MEETINGS ATTENDED BY HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE THAT SET THE ROOSEVELT CORRIDOR PLAN IN MOTION.
ALSO, THE SOUTH CENTRAL COMMUNITY PLAN.
WE KNEW DEVELOPMENT WAS COMING.
WE DIDN'T, THE CITY DID NOT WANT THE SAME MISTAKES THAT HAD BEEN DONE DOWNTOWN AND AT MICHIGAN CONCEPTION REPEATED IN THIS AREA.
THIS PLAN WAS APPROVED BY DISTRICT THREE CITY COUNCIL, MEMBERS OF THE COMMUNITY, BUSINESS OWNERS AND STAKEHOLDERS FROM THIS AREA.
IT WAS TO KEEP INAPPROPRIATE TYPE DEVELOPMENTS FROM HAPPENING.
THE APPLICANT IS ASKING FOR A VARIANCE TO THIS, AND THIS IS VERY SIMPLE.
THIS IS GONNA SET A PRECEDENT.
DO YOU WANT TO GUT COMMUNITY INPUT BY ALLOWING IDZ VARIANCE TO WHAT THE COMMUNITY HAS STATED THEY WISH TO HAVE IN THIS AREA? A PLAN APPROVED BY THE CITY.
THAT'S BASICALLY WHAT IT COMES DOWN TO.
THE NEIGHBORHOOD IS AGAINST BINGO AND OUTDOOR MUSIC.
THE SIMPLEST WAY TO SOLVE A NOISE PROBLEM IS NOT TO CREATE ONE, NOT THROUGH ENFORCEMENT, BUT BY NOT HAVING IT AND BE A GOOD NEIGHBOR.
[01:10:01]
NEAR THIS HISTORICALLY SIGNIFICANT AREA.TRUE THIS AREA IS POOR, BUT THAT'S WHAT BINGO IS FOR, TO EXPLOIT POOR PEOPLE WITH THE GUISE OF THEM GETTING RICH.
THE DEV, THE, UH, APPLICANT IS A SPECULATIVE DEVELOPER.
HE WANTS TO MAXIMIZE HIS PRO, HIS PROFITS UNDERSTAND THAT COMPLETELY.
HE WANTS TO HAVE BINGO IN THE DAY, STUFF AT NIGHT, ET CETERA.
I UNDERSTAND THAT HE WANTS ZONING THAT ONE DAY WHEN HE DOESN'T OWN THIS PROPERTY, WHICH WILL HAPPEN ONE DAY, MAYBE SOONER THAN LATER IF HE EVEN OWNS IT.
THIS MAY, THIS SALE MAY BE CONTINGENT UPON THIS REZONING THAT HE CAN GET THE MOST FOR IT.
I UNDERSTAND THAT COMPLETELY AS AN INVESTOR MYSELF.
IF I HAD A COMMERCIAL PROPERTY NEXT TO HIS, I'D BE ALL FOR THIS BECAUSE I'D USE THIS AS AN EXAMPLE SO I CAN GET IDZ ON MY PROPERTY AND THEN FLIP IT, MAKE SOME MONEY.
BUT I AM HERE TO REPRESENT THE COMMUNITY AND SUPPORT MISSION SAN JOSE ON IT AND AS A MEMBER OF THIS COMMUNITY.
AND IT DOESN'T MATTER WHETHER YOU'VE BEEN HERE FIVE MINUTES OR 500 YEARS, IT MATTERS.
THAT IS IT FOR PUBLIC COMMENT.
UH, MR. RAMOS, A BRIEF REBUTTAL.
UM, I WANTED TO CLARIFY, UH, SOMETHING ABOUT THE BINGO PARLOR USE, UH, BINGO PARLOR USE IS BEING REQUESTED TO ALLOW NOT JUST SPECIAL EVENTS IF A BINGO OPERATOR WANTS TO GO IN AND, AND HAVE A SPECIAL EVENT, BUT AFTER THE LAST ZONING COMMISSION, I HOPE PETER DOESN'T MIND MY SAYING THIS.
HE DID SPEAK WITH ME AND EXPLAINED THE, UM, FAILING OR, UH, THE PROBLEM HE'S HAVING FINANCIALLY DUE TO THE TWO YEAR DELAY OF FILING THE ZONING CASE SO WE COULD, YOU KNOW, MEET WITH THE NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATION.
UM, SO AT THIS TIME, YOU KNOW, HE IS, UH, CONSIDERING IF BINGO WANTS TO RENT A SPACE OUT DURING THE DAY, NOT AS A MAIN USE, BUT IF A BINGO PARLOR OPERATOR WANTS TO COME IN AND HAVE A BINGO GAME FOR THREE HOURS DURING THE DAY, WHY NOT DO THAT TO GENERATE REVENUE? IS THE WHOLE BUILDING GONNA BE A BINGO PARLOR? ABSOLUTELY NOT.
THIS IS AN EVENT CENTER, BUT ANY CUSTOMER WHO COMES IN AND WANTS TO RENT OUT A SPACE FOR A FEW HOURS CAN HOLD THEIR OWN EVENTS IN THE EVENING.
USUALLY A SPECIAL EVENT START AT FOUR O'CLOCK.
SO IF HE DOES THAT, AND A BINGO HALL OPERATOR WANTS TO COME IN AND LEASE A SPACE THREE DAYS DURING THE WEEK TO HAVE BINGO GAMES, THEY, THIS USE WOULD ALLOW THAT, UM, FOR A FEW HOURS BEFORE FOUR O'CLOCK.
AND THAT WOULD GENERATE REVENUE THAT HE WOULD NEED.
THAT'S ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY AT THIS POINT, UM, TO ACTUALLY AFFORD THE RENOVATIONS FOR THIS PROJECT.
UM, IS BE BRING YOUR OWN BEER ALLOWED? ABSOLUTELY NOT.
UM, ALL OF HIS EVENTS, ALL THE CUSTOMERS WHO COME IN, THEY WANNA RENT OUT A SPACE TO HAVE AN EVENT, WHETHER IT'S HAVING A BINGO GAME, WHETHER IT'S A CHURCH COMING IN, WANTING TO HAVE A BINGO GAME, WHICH THEY DO OFTEN.
THEY HAVE THE CHURCH AND THEY HAVE THEIR BINGO GAMES.
THEY'RE NOT ALLOWED TO BRING THEIR OWN BEER.
YOU KNOW, THEY CAN HIRE A CATERER AND IF THEY WANNA HAVE A SPECIAL EVENT FOR A WEDDING RECEPTION AND THEY WANNA HAVE WINE SERVED OR BEER SERVED, FINE.
BUT IT'S, IT'S NEVER BRING YOUR OWN BEER.
UM, I ALSO WANTED TO CLARIFY IDZ TOO.
I KNOW THAT JANE SAID IS A HIGHER INTENSIVE ZONING USE, BUT IT'S NOT.
I JUST WANTED TO CLARIFY THAT.
IDZ STANDS FOR INFILL DEVELOPMENT ZONE AND WE'RE GOING FROM C TWO TO IDZ TWO, WHICH MEANS THE USES ARE STILL IN C TWO.
AND THEN WE'RE ASKING FOR THE THREE ADDITIONAL REQUESTED USES THAT ARE NORMALLY IN C3 IDZ IS MEANT TO PROVIDE FLEXIBLE DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS SO THAT IT WOULD MAKE IT MORE AFFORDABLE FOR PEOPLE TO COME IN AND MAKE IMPROVEMENTS TO, UM, INFILL, YOU KNOW, IT'S INFILL DEVELOPMENT IN AN AREA WHERE IT'S BLIGHTED, WHERE IT'S VACANT AND IT NEEDS TO BE, UM, DEVELOPED.
SO I JUST WANTED TO MAKE THAT CLEAR.
IN REGARDS TO ZONING, SHE MIGHT BE THINKING OF I TWO, WHICH IS INDUSTRIAL, AND THAT IS A HIGHER INTENSIVE USE.
UM, AS FAR AS THE 35 OPPOSITION FORMS, AGAIN, AS I STATED EARLIER, THE FLYERS THAT WENT OUT WITH THAT, UM, WOULD SCARE ANYBODY
UM, BUT I WILL GIVE YOU SOME EXAMPLES OF WHAT THIS FLYER SAID.
AND YOU MIGHT ALREADY HAVE A COPY.
UM, OUTDOOR LIVE MUSIC OR EXTERNAL SOUND SYSTEMS ON THE ROOFTOP BAR.
THIS IS NOT A BAR, THIS IS A CLASSY ROOFTOP TERRACE.
WELL, THEY MIGHT HAVE VIOLIN, A HARP, SOMETHING TILL ABOUT 10 O'CLOCK, 10 30.
THEN THEY GO IN AND DO THEIR EVENTS.
UM, SHE SAID THERE WAS GONNA BE ONE TO THREE OUTDOOR PATIOS ANY DAY, ANY TIME.
[01:15:01]
IS COMPLETELY FALSE.UM, OUTDOOR LIVE MUSIC SO CLOSE TO OUR HOUSES, IT WILL DISTURB THE PEACE AND OUR SLEEP AND WILL ENCOURAGE ILLICIT ACTIVITY IN AL ADELPHIA ALLEYWAY.
AND IN THE AREA, YOU KNOW, HIS GOAL IS TO MAKE THE AREA SAFER AND, UM, HAVE A MORE POSITIVE ENVIRONMENT.
UM, OVERFLOW OF PARKING BINGO, LATE TILL 3:45 AM BRING YOUR OWN BEER.
UM, AND THEN IT SAYS THAT IDZ WILL WAIVE LANDSCAPING.
JUST TAKE THAT INTO CONSIDERATION.
UH, THIS IS A DISTRICT THREE CASE, SO COMMISSIONER HINOJOSA TO YOU FOR QUESTIONS.
UM, AS MOST OF YOU KNOW, I WENT OUT THERE BLOCK WALKING AND TALKING, AND THE TWO THINGS, THREE THINGS I LIKE IN LIFE IS FOOD, FAMILY AND WALKING.
AND I GOT ALL THREE OF THAT DONE.
SO I DO HAVE A COUPLE QUESTIONS.
WHAT, WHAT I REALLY HEARD OUT THERE IS, IS THE RESIDENTS, UH, THEY'RE TIRED OF THE HOMELESS, THE VACANT BUILDINGS, THE CRIME, THE NAKED LADY, IF YOU'RE FROM THE AREA, YOU UNDERSTAND WHO THAT PERSON IS.
UH, STREET RACERS AND ALL THAT.
NOW I GOT A QUESTION FOR STAFF.
'CAUSE THIS IS, THIS IS THE QUESTION PART.
SO STAFF, UH, I'M ASSUMING, AND I, I I KNOW, BUT JUST TO KIND OF BRING IT OUT THERE, WE DO HAVE CITY ORDINANCES FOR MUSIC.
IT'S NOT PRIVY TO TO ZONING, BUT WE DO HAVE THAT CORRECT, JUST, JUST IN CASE SOMEBODY DIDN'T KNOW.
SO I BELIEVE THAT THAT TAKES CARE OF THAT.
UM, I DID MY DUE DILIGENCE AS FAR AS WALKING, UH, AND LOOKING AT THE OTHER PROPERTIES THAT MR. GARCIA OWNS.
I DID NOT HEAR ANYTHING AS FAR AS OTHER COMPLAINTS OR ANY KIND OF MUSIC OUTLAYS THAT HE HAS, UH, ISSUES WITH PARKING.
DO WE HAVE ANY KIND OF ORDINANCE FOR PARKING ISSUES WITH CITY? WHEN YOU'RE SAYING PARKING ISSUES, UH, UH, PARKING OUTSIDE OF AN AREA LIKE, UH, ILLEGAL PARKING, CORRECT? YES.
AGAIN, THIS IS NOT THE PREVIEW OF THE ZONING COMMISSION, SO THAT LEAVES BINGO.
SO BINGO IS WHAT I HEAR FROM A LOT OF THE RESIDENTS THAT, THAT THEY DON'T WANT IT IS STATE REGULATED.
UH, TDLR, I BELIEVE, UH, YEAH, IT IS STATE REGULATED.
UM, I I LOOKED IT UP AND, AND HE'S, HE'S CORRECT WHAT HE TOLD ME WHAT I COULD VERIFY.
AND, UM, BUT ONE OF MY CONCERNS WHEN WE MET YESTERDAY WITH THE NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATION, THEIR BOARD MEMBERS AND WITH MR. GARCIA, WAS THAT ONE OF THE BOARD MEMBERS SAID, WELL, WE, WE WERE A LITTLE CONCERNED THAT WE HAVING A SATURATION OF, EXCUSE ME, COMING DOWN WITH SOMETHING, I THINK A SATURATION OF, UH, BINGO PARLORS.
WE COULD LOSE OUR UNESCO CERTIFICATION OR WORLD HERITAGE, UM, UH, STATUS, WHICH, WHICH I'M LIKE, WAIT A MINUTE, HOLD ON.
SO I WOULD LIKE TO ASK, UH, IF I CAN BRING UP COLLEEN SWAN SWING, EXCUSE, EXCUSE ME, IF, BECAUSE I'D LIKE TO HAVE ASK YOU A QUESTION ABOUT THAT.
SO MY QUESTION, UH, MS. SWAIN, IS, UH, AND YOU ARE THE, UH, OR CAN YOU INTRODUCE YOURSELF? OH, I AM THE DIRECTOR OF THE WORLD HERITAGE OFFICE.
AND THE CONCERN I HEARD, AND WE KIND OF TALKED A LITTLE BIT REAL QUICK, BRIEFLY ON, ON THE PHONE YESTERDAY, BUT WOULD, AND THIS IS NOT AN EXCLUSIVE BINGO HALL, RIGHT? IT'S AN EVENT CENTER WITH, WITH THE USAGE OF, OF BINGO.
WOULD THIS IN, IN ANY WAY, BE A RED FLAG FOR, OR A PROCESS TO LOSE ANY SORT OF CERTIFICATION? WORLD HERITAGE, UNESCO, UH, I DON'T KNOW ANY SORT OF, UM, NEGATIVITY WITH THIS NEW, WITH THIS REZONING.
UM, IT IS MY UNDERSTANDING THAT WHEN, SO WHEN WE APPLIED FOR WORLD HERITAGE, WE SET FORTH IN THAT NOMINATION BOOK, ALL OF THE REGULATIONS THAT PROTECT THE MISSIONS.
UM, WE HAVE THE MISSION HISTORIC DISTRICT, WHICH OUR OFFICE OF HISTORIC PRESERVATION, UM, REGULATES AND THEY'LL HAVE TO GO TO, UM, FINAL APPROVAL TO, UH, HISTORIC PRESERVATION.
UM, THEY'RE WITHIN A LITTLE BIT OF THE MISSION PROTECTION OVERLAY.
UM, THIS ZONING PROCESS WAS SUBMITTED AS A PROCESS.
SO AS LONG AS ALL OF OUR RULES AND REGULATIONS ARE FOLLOWED THAT PROCESS, UM, THEN IT SHOULD BE FINE.
AND I DO HAVE ONE QUESTION, THEN I'LL, I'LL CHAIR, I'LL OPEN IT UP TO OUR FELLOW COMMISSIONERS, UH, ONE CHAIR DIRECTED TO MR. GARCIA.
CAN YOU, UH, UH, COME UP, ONE OF THE OTHER LITTLE ISSUES THAT I HEARD WAS ABOUT THE MUSIC FOR THE MARKET DAYS.
SO THE MARKET DAYS, WHAT I WAS ASSUMING, AND YESTERDAY WE KINDA BROUGHT IT UP THE MARKET DAYS, WAS YOUR ATTEMPT TO KIND OF CONNECT WITH IT WITH THE NEIGHBORHOOD.
CAN YOU KIND OF EXPLAIN WHAT THE MARKET DAYS IS AND DO YOU PROFIT FROM THAT AND WHAT IS THAT? NO, WE WANTED TO HAVE A FARMER'S MARKET JUST TO BRING THE COMMUNITY
[01:20:01]
TOGETHER.WE DO NOT CHARGE VENDORS, WHETHER IT BE A FARMER'S MARKET, WHETHER IT'S OUR EXPO.
WE'RE ONE OF THE FEW EVENT CENTERS, SERV SERVICE COMPANIES THAT DO NOT CHARGE VENDORS.
THAT'S, THAT'S THEIR EITHER THEIR MAIN BUSINESS OR THEIR SIDE HUSTLE.
THEY'RE NOT THERE TO TAKE A CUT.
SO THE FARMER'S MARKET, SAME THING.
AND UH, AFTER HEARING, I BELIEVE PERNA, AM I SAYING HER NAME PROPERLY? YES.
SHE SAYS, YOU KNOW, I'VE NEVER BEEN TO A FARMER'S MARKET WITH MUSIC.
I SAID, OKAY, WE DON'T NEED MUSIC THEN.
I MEAN, I WAS JUST TRYING TO HELP OUT.
AND, AND I'M ASSUMING THAT, UH, LIKE, LIKE YESTERDAY DURING OUR MEETING ABOUT THE MUSIC I BROUGHT UP, HE SAID, WELL JUST CUT THAT.
BUT I'M ASSUMING WHAT I'VE HEARD IS YOU WANNA WORK WITH THE NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATION.
UH, DID YOU WANNA WORK WITH THE NEIGHBOR ASSOCIATION ONCE EVERYTHING'S DONE? OH, YEAH.
BUT, UM, IF THEY WERE LIKE, YOU KNOW WHAT, WE DON'T WANT EVEN WANT TO WANT EVEN HAVE A FARMER'S MARKET, YOU ARE OKAY WITH THAT.
I THINK IT WOULD BE A DISSERVICE, BUT YEAH, I WOULD DO THAT.
THANK YOU MR. GARCIA AND CHAIR.
UH, QUESTIONS COMMISSIONER? ON MY RIGHT? NOPE.
UH, WE'LL COME FROM THE END BACK DOWN.
UH, THESE ARE QUESTIONS, UH, I'LL START WITH, UH, QUESTIONS TO STAFF.
UM, ONE OF THE, ONE OF THE POINTS THAT A, UH, A SPEAKER BROUGHT UP WAS THAT IF IT'S NOT REZONED THAT THIS COULD BECOME A LIQUOR STORE OR IT COULD BECOME LIKE, YOU KNOW, AUTOMOTIVE, LUBE AND TUBE TYPE STUFF LIKE THAT, LUBE AND TUNE, UM, THOSE WOULD STILL BE ALLOWED EVEN WITH THE REZONING TO IDZ, CORRECT? CORRECT.
UM, SO WE'RE NOT, WE'RE NOT PREVENTING THAT FROM COMING.
THAT THAT'S, THAT'S, THAT'S STILL ALLOWED.
UM, I HAD A PERSONAL QUESTION ON AMPLIFICATION.
YOU KNOW, ONE OF THE CONCERNS WAS ABOUT MUSIC AND EVERYTHING LIKE THAT.
UM, IT WAS MENTIONED BY THE APPLICANT THAT, OH, WELL MUSIC WOULD BE LIKE HARP VIOLIN.
IS, IS THERE A SEPARATE CATEGORY FOR AMPLIFICATION OF MUSIC VERSUS REGULAR MUSIC? I MEAN, WHAT I'M, WHAT I'M ASKING IS, YOU KNOW, A LOT OF TIMES ON UNCONDITIONAL USES, WE, WE PUT IN NO OUTDOOR AMPLIFICATION.
WOULD A CONDITION SUCH AS THAT STILL ALLOW MUSIC THAT'S, THAT'S, UM, ACOUSTIC IN NATURE FROM THAT CONDITION? TYPICALLY WITH THE CONDITION ON NO AMPLIFICATION, THAT WOULD MEAN LIKE SPEAKERS OR, UM, NOISE SYSTEM OR, UM, SOUND SYSTEMS. UM, IF PEOPLE WERE ACTUALLY PLAYING AN INSTRUMENT, I WOULD BELIEVE THAT WOULD NOT BE APPLICABLE.
IT WOULD BE MORE, LESS, AGAIN, WITH SPEAKERS OR, I MEAN, IF THEY SET UP A MICROPHONE TO THAT INSTRUMENT BEING PLAYED AND THERE WERE SPEAKERS, THAT WOULD PROBABLY APPLY.
BUT IF SOMEBODY WAS JUST PLAYING IN AN INSTRUMENT, THEN THAT WOULD BE STILL ABOUT THAT WOULD OKAY.
THAT, BUT AGAIN, IDZ DOESN'T ASK FOR ANY, WE CANNOT ADD ANY CONDITIONS ON AN IDZ.
UM, THE OTHER QUESTION THAT I HAD WAS, UM, UH, IT WAS BROUGHT UP THAT, UH, CURRENTLY PKA PIKA DOESN'T ALLOW BINGO, I THINK THAT WAS MENTIONED.
UM, BUT I THINK LOOKING AT THE ZONING MAP THAT THERE ARE ZONES C3, WHICH WOULD, THEY COULD EVENTUALLY, IF THEY WANTED TO ALLOW BINGO, BECAUSE I BELIEVE BINGO'S IN A C3, JUST CONFIRMING, I BELIEVE YOU'RE RIGHT, BUT JUST WANNA CONFIRM.
SO IT IS PERMITTED BY WRIGHT AND A C3.
PICO PIKA, OTHERWISE KNOWN AS WALMART BACK IN THE DAY BEFORE THEY MOVED.
UM, I THINK THAT MIGHT BE, I, YEAH, I THINK THAT'S ALL THE QUESTIONS.
I, I FIGURED OUT THE OTHER ONES.
ALRIGHT, THANK YOU COMMISSIONER SIPES.
UH, ANY FURTHER QUESTIONS? COMMERS ON MY LEFT.
COMMISSIONER DUO? UH, SO THE, UH, ONE OF THE ISSUES THAT WAS RAISED FROM THE, UH, PUBLIC COMMENT, UH, WAS THE USES IN IDZ AS COMPARED WITH, UH, C TWO.
UM, I THINK IT WOULD BE PROBABLY USEFUL TO GET CLARIFICATION FROM STAFF JUST FOR, FOR EVERYONE'S UNDERSTANDING.
UH, WHAT USES ARE ALLOWED IN IDZ TWO THAT ARE NOT ALLOWED IN C TWO? WELL, SO IDZ IS A SPECIAL ZONING AND BASICALLY WHAT I DZS ARE SPECIFIC TO THE ORDINANCE.
SO YOU DON'T HAVE SET USES THAT ARE PERMITTED IN AN I-D-Z-I-D-Z ONE OR IDZ TWO OR IDZ THREE.
THEY'RE BASED ON THE INTENSITY.
AND SO WHAT WE'RE LOOKING AT, WHEN YOU LOOK AT SOMEBODY WHO PROPOSES IDZ, IT'LL ALWAYS COME WITH THAT CAVEAT.
WHAT USES ARE GOING TO BE PERMITTED WITH THAT IDZ.
[01:25:01]
WHAT THEY'RE REQUESTING IS USES PERMITTED IN C TWO COMMERCIAL ZONING.SO ANYTHING THAT WOULD BE ALLOWED IN A C TWO ALREADY WOULD BE PERMITTED HERE, ALONG WITH THE ADDITIONAL USES OF PARTY HOUSE RECEPTION, HALL MEETING FACILITY BINGO PARLOR IN LIVE ENTERTAINMENT WITHOUT COVER CHARGE.
SO TO, TO CLARIFY THEN, SO ACTUALLY ALSO THE CURRENT ZONING IS C TWO, CORRECT? CORRECT.
SO THIS, THE, THE USES THAT WOULD BE ALLOWED ON THIS PROPERTY IF, SAY A, A SUBSEQUENT OWNER WANTED TO TO CHANGE IT, THE, THE USES THAT WOULD BE ALLOWED BY WRIGHT WOULD BE C TWO, WHICH IT IS CURRENTLY WITH THE ADDITION OF THOSE SPECIFIC USES.
UM, IN THE STAFF REPORT IT MENTIONED OH 1.5 AS ALSO BEING PERMITTED WITH AN ID Z TWO.
COULD YOU CLARIFY THAT? SO, UM, THE, WHAT YOU'RE REGARDING TO IS BASIC WHAT IDZ TWO ALLOWS.
AND SO AGAIN, THEY'RE BASED OFF INTENSITY.
SO IDZ ONE, THEY PERMIT TYPICALLY ONLY NC OR C ONE OR O ONE USES.
IF YOU WANTED TO PROPOSE SOMETHING OF LIKE A C TWO USE OR, UH, UH, OH 1.5 USES, YOU WOULD HAVE TO GO WITH AN IDZD TWO BASE ZONE.
AND IF YOU WANTED TO PROPOSE C3 USES OR O2 USES, YOU WOULD HAVE TO GO WITH AN IDZ THREE, IF THAT MAKES SENSE.
SO YOU COULDN'T SAY, I WANNA DO C3 USES, BUT I'M GONNA KEEP AN IDZ TWO BASE ZONE.
AND SO WHAT YOU'RE, WHAT YOU'RE LOOKING AT IS BASICALLY WHAT IDZ TWO WILL, IT WILL, UM, ALLOW THOSE KIND OF USES, BUT AGAIN, THEY'RE SPECIFIC TO THEIR OWN, UH, ORDINANCE AND SO THEY'RE NOT ASKING FOR OH 1.5 USES, THEY'RE ONLY ASKING FOR C TWO USES IN THEIR PROPOSED ZONING.
IF I, I CAN MAY MAYBE JUST ADD THAT, UH, SO WE HAVE A, A MATRIX FOR IDZ AS WELL, SO FOR I DZ ONE, TWO, AND THREE.
SO FOR I DZ ONE YOU CAN GO, UH, FOR NON-RESIDENTIAL UP TO C ONE AND OH ONE IDZ TWO UP TO C TWO AND OH 1.5, AND THEN IDZ THREE AND NON-RESIDENTIAL USES C 3 0 2 AND I ONE.
SO THOSE ARE JUST THE DIFFERENT LEVELS.
SO, SO THEN WITH THAT IN MIND, SO WE HAVE THE C TWO USES, WE HAVE THE ADDITIONAL USES THAT ARE JUST FOR THIS SPECIFIC IDZ ZONING.
LET'S TALK ABOUT THE, UH, OH, 1.5.
THEY'RE NOT, THEY'RE NOT ASKING FOR IT.
IT'S NOT IN THE PROPOSED ZONING.
BUT I, I THOUGHT I, MAYBE I MISUNDERSTOOD PROBABLY OUT HERE.
SO THE, THE, THE MATRIX WITH OH 1.5, THAT WOULD NOT BE INCLUDED IN THIS PROPOSAL? NO, THAT'S JUST WHAT YOU COULD REQUEST UNDER IDZ TWO.
SO IF THEY HAD ASKED HER THAT THEY COULDN'T, BUT ON THIS, THEY'RE NOT CORRECT.
UM, ONE ADDITIONAL QUESTION ABOUT THE, UH, SPECIAL, UH, ARE SPECIAL PERMITS ALWAYS REQUIRED FOR OUTDOOR EVENTS? THAT WOULD DEPEND IF IT'S A TEMPORARY USE OCCUPANCY THAT THEY'RE LOOKING FOR, THEY CAN APPLY FOR ONE.
OTHERWISE, IF IT'S ACCESSORY TO THE PRIMARY USE, IT MIGHT ALREADY BE ALLOWED.
THAT WOULD DEPENDS ON THE REQUEST.
I I, I SUPPOSE, DO WE HAVE ANY SENSE WITH, SO FOR, DO YOU MEAN LIKE FOR AN EVENT LIKE A, A FARMER'S MARKET OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT? YEAH, SO YOU WOULD NEED A PERMIT FOR THAT.
I, UM, WHAT'S THE PROCESS WITH THAT? ARE THERE ANY CONDITIONS THAT ARE IMPOSED? IS THERE AN OPPORTUNITY THEN TO IMPOSE LIMITS ON SOUND AMPLIFICATION OR NO, IT WOULD DEPEND ON THE REQUEST, THE SIZE OF IT, WHAT'S BEING PROVIDED AT THE EVENT, UH, LOCATION OF THE PROPOSED EVENT.
THERE'S A LOT OF FACTORS TO BE CONSIDERED, BUT I I JUST MEAN, IS THERE STAFF DISCRETION THERE TO IMPOSE CONDITIONS OR IS OR IS THAT NOT NO, NO.
WHILE REQUESTING A TEMPORARY SI O UH, WE COULD, NOT CONDITIONS, BUT WE CAN DEFINITELY DECIDE WHETHER OR NOT WE PERMIT THE EVENT.
ALRIGHT, THANK YOU COMMISSIONER DOWELL.
UH, ONE MORE TIME AROUND COMMISSIONERS TO MY RIGHT.
QUESTIONS? NONE COMMISSIONS TO MY LEFT QUESTIONS.
UH, THIS IS A DISTRICT THREE CASE, SO COMMISSIONER HINOJOSA TO YOU FOR DISCUSSION AND POTENTIAL MOTION.
UH, SO KINDA WENT BACK AND FORTH AND EVERYTHING, BUT THIS IS, THIS IS A, UM, THIS IS A CASE THAT I HAD TO REALLY DIG IN AND, AND, AND GO ON BOTH SIDES.
WHEN MR. GARCIA OPENED UP HIS, UH, HIS VENUE ON SATURDAY FOR, UH, I FORGET WHAT HE CALLED LIKE OPEN HOUSE TO KIND OF SEE WHAT, WHAT HE DOES, UM, HE'S NOT JUST AN EVENT CENTER OWNER.
UH, HIS OPERATION IS, IS HE HAS AN OPERATION.
UM, HE'S GONNA BE BRINGING JOBS TO THAT, TO OUR NEIGHBORHOODS, TO OUR NEIGHBORHOOD SPECIFICALLY.
UM, YOU KNOW, HE, HE CONTROLS A LOT OF THE STUFF AS FAR AS, YOU KNOW, ONE OF MY BIGGEST CONCERNS WAS HE'S GONNA HAVE, UH, AN EVENT CENTER PEOPLE RENT.
UH, PEOPLE ARE GONNA CHOOSE DJS AND YOU KNOW, YOU MIGHT HAVE A YOUNG DJ WOULD COME WITH 50 FEET SPEAKERS
[01:30:01]
AND THEY'RE GOING TO BUST IT ALL THE WAY TO THE LOUD, YOU KNOW, UP TO THE VOLUME OF THE MAX.YOU KNOW, LIKE KINDA LIKE BACK TO THE FUTURE KIND OF A, YOU KNOW, BUT HE CONTROLS THE DJS, YOU KNOW, HE HAS A SET OF DJS THAT HE WORKS WITH HIS, HIS MOM DOES THE FLORAL STUFF.
HE'S A FAMILY OPERATED, UH, BUSINESS THAT'S BEEN AROUND HIS FAMILY SINCE 1979.
UM, OF COURSE YOU NEVER KNOW, BUT I, I TRULY BELIEVE THAT HE MEANS, WELL I THINK THIS REVITALIZATION IN THIS AREA IS NEEDED.
I THINK THAT IT'S BETTER THAN A VACANT BUILDING.
IT'S GONNA HELP THE COMMUNITY AS FAR AS THE HOME IS CONCERNED.
AND, AND IT'S AN EVENT CENTER WHERE PEOPLE ARE GONNA MAKE MEMORIES AND THEY'RE GONNA MAKE MEMORIES ON THE SOUTH SIDE.
YOU KNOW, THEY ALREADY GO TAKE PICTURES ANYWAY FOR THE GUANES AND, AND, AND, AND WEDDINGS AND EVERYTHING.
UH, JUST REMEMBER WE ARE A RECOMMENDING BODY TO CITY COUNCIL.
IS IT APPROPRIATE ZONING FOR THE SURROUNDING AREA? I BELIEVE SO.
IS THIS THE PROPER USE FOR THE PROPERTY? I BELIEVE SO AS WELL.
ZONING AND LAND USE DECISIONS MUST BE MADE ON WHAT THE HIGHEST AND BEST USE IS FOR THAT SPECIFIC PROPERTY, FOR THAT PARCEL.
AND THE THIRD THING THAT I ALWAYS KIND OF GO BY IS, IS THIS GONNA IMPROVE THE AREA? I THINK SO.
SO THAT BEING SAID, CHAIR, I WOULD LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE THE ZONING CASE.
UH, THERE IS A MOTION FOR APPROVAL OF ITEM NUMBER TWO AS SUBMITTED.
SECOND BY COMMISSIONER WHITSETT.
ALRIGHT, DISCUSSION COMMISSIONER'S TO MY RIGHT.
SO I THINK, UH, COMMISSIONER OSA HAS REALLY NAILED THE ISSUES BEFORE US AND FROM THE COMMUNITY.
THE, THE THING THAT I HAVE A CONCERN WITH RELATED TO THE OUTDOOR MUSIC IS THE ROOFTOP EVENTS.
IF I HEARD CORRECTLY, THE, THE MUSIC BEING PLAYED WOULD BE AMPLIFIED AND YOU KNOW, AND YOU'RE ASKING THE NEIGHBOR, WELL JUST GO TO AMAZON AND BY YOURSELF A, UH, A, A UH, DECIBEL METER.
I'M NOT SURE IF THAT IS THE SOLUTION.
NOW, COULD YOU HAVE MUSIC ON A ELEVATED, UH, TERRACE THAT'S NOT AMPLIFIED, THAT IS PROBABLY MORE ACCEPTABLE BECAUSE OF THE NOISE AND THE DISTANCE THAT THE MUSIC'S GONNA TRAVEL.
HOWEVER, IF YOU ARE GONNA AMPLIFY THAT, LET'S SAY TO THE MAXIMUM OF 73 TBS, THAT IS GONNA TRAVEL, THAT IS GOING TO INTRUDE INTO SOMEBODY'S HOME.
AND NOW I HAVE TO GO TO AMAZON AND I HAVE TO ORDER A DB METER AND I'M GONNA HAVE TO CALL THE NON-EMERGENCY LINE TO SAPD.
SO YOU'RE ASKING RESIDENTS TO DO THINGS THAT THEY NORMALLY DON'T HAVE TO DO.
SO AGAIN, UM, I CAN SEE, I MEAN, COMMISSIONER ALSO, YOU DID A GREAT JOB OF SUMMARIZING IT, BUT THAT'S THE POINT I'M HUNG UP WITH IS THE AMPLIFIED MUSIC THAT'S ON YOUR TERRACE.
IF YOU HAVE A, IF YOU HAVE, IF CLARIFICATION, I WOULD LOVE TO HEAR THAT.
UM, ACTUALLY NO, WE'RE, WE'RE DONE WITH THAT RIGHT AT THIS POINT.
ALRIGHT, THANK YOU COMMISSIONER HUEY.
UM, SORRY, OUR PUBLIC PORTION OF THIS IS CLOSED.
WE'RE JUST NOW AT COMMISSIONER DISCUSSION.
ALRIGHT, UH, COMMISSIONERS TO MY LEFT COMMENTS? YES.
UH, WE'RE GONNA, WE'RE GONNA GO FROM ME DOWN THIS TIME.
UH, FIRST I, I I JUST, I I WANNA SAY THAT THE, UH, OUR JOB AS A ZONING COMMISSION IS TO NOT, TO PICK WHAT PROJECTS ARE BEST FOR A PLACE NOT TO VOTE UP OR DOWN PROJECTS.
OUR RESPONSIBILITY AS THE ZONING COMMISSION IS TO SELECT WHAT USES WOULD BE APPROPRIATE WITHIN THAT DISTRICT.
UM, THE USES THAT ARE ALLOWED WITHIN C TWO, WHICH IS THE EXISTING ZONING, ARE PRETTY EXTENSIVE.
THE PROPOSAL HERE TODAY IS, YOU KNOW, CONSIDERATION OF ADDITIONAL USES AS STAFF DISCUSSED, PARTY HOUSE RECEPTION, HALL MEETING FACILITY, BINGO, PARLOR, LIVE ENTERTAINMENT.
UM, SO, YOU KNOW, WITH THAT IN MIND, THOSE USES DO SEEM LIKE, UH, YOU KNOW, AN APPROPRIATE, AT LEAST FROM MY IMPRESSION APP, APPRO APPROPRIATE USE FOR THIS SPACE.
UM, I THINK STAFF MADE IT VERY CLEAR THAT THE IDZ, EVEN THOUGH IT, YOU KNOW, IS MORE COMPLEX THAN THE C TWO IN THIS CASE, IT'S NOT THAT MANY MORE USES, IT'S THESE
[01:35:01]
USES.UM, I THINK THESE USES WOULD BE APPROPRIATE FOR THE SPACE.
THERE'S BEEN CONCERNS ABOUT A BINGO PARLOR.
UM, I THINK SOME, SOME OF THE FOLKS IN PUBLIC COMMENT MENTIONED THAT THERE'S ALREADY OTHER BINGO PARLORS OR THAT THEY THINK THEY SAID THERE'S ENOUGH BINGO PARLORS IN THIS AREA.
UM, IF THAT IS IN FACT THE CASE, THEN IT MAY NOT BE AS PROFITABLE TO HAVE A BINGO PARLOR IN THIS SPACE AS OTHERWISE WOULD BE ANTICIPATED, WHICH MEANS YOU WOULD HAVE LESS BINGO IN THIS LOCATION.
UM, SO I THINK THAT THAT'S, YOU KNOW, MORE, UH, UM, UM, LESS OF AN ISSUE.
UM, SO, SO I MEAN, WITH THAT IN MIND, I MEAN, I I, AT THIS POINT I'M IN FAVOR OF THE PROJECT.
I DO APPRECIATE THE PUBLIC COMING OUT, YOU KNOW, MEMBERS FROM THE DIFFERENT RESIDENTS ASSOCIATIONS COMING OUT AND EXPRESSING THEIR CONCERNS.
BUT I THINK THE NOISE CONCERN, IT'S ADDRESSED WITH THE NOISE ORDINANCE.
UM, IT, IT DOESN'T, AT LEAST MY UNDERSTANDING OF THE, UH, THE PROCESS IS IT DOESN'T TAKE A RESIDENT TO GO ON AMAZON AND BUY A, A DECIMAL METER.
YOU CAN ALSO CALL CITY, YOU KNOW, UH, UH, THE, THE DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT CALL CODE ENFORCEMENT FOR THEM TO COME OUT AND USE THEIR
UM, I'LL ALSO SAY THAT SAPD IS THE ONES THAT DO THIS AT NIGHTTIME.
SO YEAH, W WITH THAT IN MIND, UM, AS WELL, ONE OTHER JUST LAST POINT, UM, IN REGARDS TO THE OUTDOOR AMPLIFICATION, UM, AT LEAST MY UNDERSTANDING IS THAT WITH THE EXISTING USES WITHOUT ANY ZONING CHANGES, PEOPLE WOULD STILL BE ALLOWED TO HAVE OUTDOOR AMPLIFICATION OF MUSIC.
UH, THAT'S NOT REALLY BEFORE US TODAY, THEY WOULDN'T BE ALLOWED TO DO THAT WITH THE EXISTING ZONING.
UM, IT'S THE NOISE ORDINANCE REALLY THAT NEEDS TO SOLVE THOSE PROBLEMS ABOUT AMPLIFICATION.
UM, SO I DON'T THINK THAT SHOULD REALLY WEIGH ON OUR, OUR DECISION MAKING TODAY THAT THEY MIGHT DO AMPLIFIED MUSIC OUTSIDE.
'CAUSE THEY ALREADY WOULD BE ALLOWED TO DO AMPLIFIED MUSIC OUTSIDE WITHIN THE BOUNDS OF THE NOISE ORDINANCE.
ALRIGHT, THANK YOU SO MUCH, COMMISSIONER.
WHAT'S IT? I THINK ENOUGH'S BEEN FED.
UM, TELL US ABOUT THE WALMART.
NO, YOU KNOW WHAT I'M GONNA, I'M, SINCE YOU BROUGHT IT UP, IT WAS, IT WAS IN THE WALMART PARKING LOT IN 1994 THAT I FOUND OUT THAT IN THAT WALMART PARKING LOT THAT KURT COBAIN HAD DIED.
SO IT, THAT, THAT TELLS YOU HOW LONG THAT I'VE, I'VE KNOWN THIS AREA.
AND I WAS ONE OF THE ONES WHO WOULD GO DOWN MILITARY DRIVE AT SPEEDS.
BUT ON THIS, ON THIS CASE, UM, IT'S, IT'S 98% THERE.
I ACTUALLY DON'T HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THE, UM, OUTDOOR MUSIC AS MUCH.
UM, I DO THINK THOUGH THAT, UH, YOU KNOW, AS SOMEONE WHO LIVES IN AN AREA THAT HAS, UH, YOU KNOW, IS IS AN OLDER AREA THAT HAS, UM, COMMERCIAL ESTABLISHMENTS ADJACENT TO IT, UM, THAT PLAY OUTDOOR MUSIC, UH, THE NOISE ORDINANCE IS REALLY, REALLY HARD TO GET ENFORCED, UM, BY THE CITY.
UM, BUT TO ME THAT'S NOT AS BIG OF A DEAL.
I, I AM CONCERNED WITH THE BINGO USAGE AND I WOULD PREFER THAT THAT BINGO USAGE BE REMOVED.
UM, BECAUSE, UM, UH, UH, CHAIR BUS MONTE WILL REMEMBER PROBABLY A CASE THAT WE HAD YEARS AGO ON MILITARY DRIVE.
WE HAD A CASE OF ALLOWING AN ADDITIONAL PAWN SHOP AND IT'S LIKE, OH, WELL THIS IS GONNA BE A GOOD PAWN SHOP.
AND, OR, OR A NO, IT WAS A PAWN SHOP.
AND, AND YOU KNOW, AND IT'S LIKE I, FOR ME IT'S LIKE, OH, BUT THIS IS GONNA BE A GOOD BINGO PLACE.
IT'S ONLY GONNA BE OPEN THESE HOURS.
YOU KNOW, EVERYTHING ELSE IS GREAT.
I HAVE NO PROBLEMS AND I FULLY SUPPORT THE IDZ USAGE FOR IT.
I THINK THAT'S WHAT I THINK THE IDZ USAGE IS MEANT FOR AREAS RIGHT HERE.
UM, I HAVE THAT IN MY NEIGHBORHOOD.
UM, UM, BUT THE, THE PER PROLIFERATION OF BINGO IN, IN MY OPINION IS, IS A, UH, A DECIDING FACTOR.
UM, BECAUSE JUST LIKE WITH THAT PAYDAY LENDER, UH, YOU KNOW, I I I, I DON'T LIKE SEEING SOME OF THESE USES.
WELL, IT'S JUST ONE MORE, BUT THIS IS GONNA BE A GOOD VERSION OF IT.
UM, SO FOR ME, THAT, THAT THAT'S WHAT'S WEIGHING ON MY VOTE.
UM, AND IF THAT WERE REMOVED, UM, I WOULD BE ALL IN FAVOR.
UM, BUT, UH, AT THIS POINT, UM, I CAN'T SUPPORT IT JUST FOR THAT ONE SINGLE POINT.
[01:40:05]
ALRIGHT.ANY FURTHER COMMENT ON MY RIGHT? NO LEFT? YES.
COMMISSIONER BEL, I, SO THE, UM, WE WOULD HAVE THE ABILITY TO AMEND THE MOTION ON THE ISSUE OF THE BING OR WOULD WE? I GUESS WE DO NOT.
UM, UNLESS THERE WAS A FRIENDLY AMENDMENT THAT WAS ACCEPTED, BUT AT THIS POINT THE MOTION IS AS SUBMITTED.
CHAIR, CAN I MAKE A FRIENDLY AMENDMENT? YOU CAN IF IT'S ACCEPTED.
I WOULD MAKE A FRIENDLY AMENDMENT TO REMOVE THE BINGO USAGE.
UH, ANY FURTHER COMMENT ON MY LEFT? ALRIGHT, I'M GONNA HAVE THE LAST WORD.
UM, I'M GONNA SUPPORT THIS MOTION.
I THINK, YOU KNOW, ALL OF THE ISSUES I THINK CAN BE ADDRESSED.
MR. GARCIA, I EXPECT YOU TO BE A GOOD NEIGHBOR.
I EXPECT YOU TO ACT AS YOU HAVE SAID, YOU WILL, UH, WITH RESPECT TO THESE NEIGHBORS AND REACH OUT TO THEM.
UM, AND, AND I'LL TELL YOU THE BIGGEST CONSIDERATION FOR ME IS, YOU KNOW, HAVING DRIVEN UP AND DOWN ROOSEVELT LIVING, YOU KNOW, IN ROOSEVELT PARK JUST NORTH OF HERE AND SEEING THIS AREA STAGNANT, SEEING BUILDINGS BE TORN DOWN, UH, ALL OF THOSE CONCERNS I THINK LEAD ME TO WISH YOU THE BEST AND, YOU KNOW, DO SOMETHING WITH THIS PROPERTY.
AND AGAIN, THERE IS STILL A FINAL APPROVAL PROCESS AT THE HDRC.
SO THIS, THIS PROCESS IS NOT OVER YET, UH, AS FAR AS THIS BUILDING GOES.
UH, THAT BEING SAID, THE MOTION IS FOR APPROVAL OF ITEM NUMBER TWO AS SUBMITTED BY COMMISSIONER HINOJOSA WITH A SECOND BY COMMISSIONER WHITSETT.
COMMISSIONER PETE RODRIGUEZ? YES.
UH, YOU ARE GOING ON TO CITY COUNCIL.
UM, AND YOU KNOW, AS COMMISSIONER HINOJOSA POINTED OUT, WE ARE A RECOMMENDING BODY.
SO THOSE WHO ARE OPPOSED TO THIS CAN ALSO HAVE THEIR VOICES HEARD AT COUNCIL AS WELL.
[Approval of Minutes ]
WE HAVE MINUTES? ALRIGHT.ANY CHANGES? CORRECTIONS, AMENDMENTS, AMENDMENTS, SUBSTITUTIONS, TRICK PLAYS? NOTHING.
UH, IS THERE A MOTION WITH RESPECT TO THE MINUTES? I'LL MOVE TO, UH, APPROVE THE MINUTES.
THERE IS A MOTION FOR APPROVAL.
IS THERE A SECOND? SECOND WE CAN DO THIS.
ALRIGHT, MINUTES ARE APPROVED.
IS THERE A DIRECTOR'S REPORT? NO DIRECTOR'S REPORT.
THERE BEING NO FURTHER BUSINESS BEFORE THE ZONING COMMISSION FOR THE CITY OF SAN ANTONIO, WE ARE ADJOURNED AND THE TIME IS 2 43.
