ALEX ANA ZONING PLANNER WITH DEVELOPMENT SERVICES.
ITEM NUMBER TWO IS LOCATED AT 9 0 4 PLEASANTON ROAD AND 3 4 7 WEST AYERS AVENUE GOING FROM C3 AND A GENERAL COMMERCIAL NON-ALCOHOLIC SALES DISTRICT.
C ONE LIGHT COMMERCIAL DISTRICT AND R FOUR RESIDENTIAL SINGLE FAMILY DISTRICT TWO C TWO COMMERCIAL DISTRICT WITH ALL OVERLAYS STAY IN THE SAME.
THERE WERE 27 NOTICES SENT OUT.
ZERO IN FAVOR, ONE OPPOSED WITHIN 200 FEET IN ST.
LEO'S NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATION GAVE NO RESPONSE.
THE EXISTING C3 AND A C ONE AND R FOUR BASE ZONING DISTRICTS ARE APPROPRIATE ZONINGS FOR THE PROPERTY AND SURROUNDING AREA.
THE PROPOSED C TWO COMMERCIAL DISTRICT IS ALSO APPROPRIATE FOR THE PROPERTY LOCATED AT 9 0 4 PLEASANTON ROAD, BUT NOT FOR THE PROPERTY LOCATED AT 3 4 7 WEST SAYERS AVENUE.
THE SUBJECT PROPERTY IS LOCATED WITHIN A MIX OF RESIDENTIAL AND COMMERCIAL USES ALONG PLEASANTON ROAD, A SECONDARY ARTERIAL.
THE PROPOSED C TWO DESIGNATION WOULD PERMIT RETAIL AND SERVICE USES THAT ARE SIMILAR IN INTENSITY TO EXISTING COMMERCIAL BUSINESSES AND WOULD ALIGN WITH THE CURRENT SPAN OF THE COMMERCIAL CORRIDOR ALONG PLEASANTON ROAD.
THE PROPERTY LOCATED AT 3 4 7 WEST AVENUE IS THE PROPOSED ZONING FOR 3 4 7 WEST SAYERS AVENUE IS NOT APPROPRIATE FOR THE COMMERCIAL ZONING.
THE SUBJECT PROPERTY HAS AN EXISTING RESIDENCE RECENTLY DEMOED AND SURROUNDED BY RESIDENTIAL USES TO THE EAST AND SOUTH.
THE REQUEST TO REZONE THE PROPERTY WOULD CONTRIBUTE TO COMMERCIAL ENCROACHMENT INTO THE ESTABLISHED NEIGHBORHOOD.
STAFF RECOMMENDS APPROVAL FOR THE PROPERTY LOCATED AT 9 0 4 PLEASANTON ROAD, BUT RECOMMENDS DENIAL FOR THE PROPERTY LOCATED AT 3 4 7 WEST SAYERS AVENUE.
PLANNING COMMISSION RECOMMENDS APPROVAL FOR THE APPLICANT'S AMENDMENT TO NEIGHBORHOOD COMMERCIAL.
THE APPLICANT'S REPRESENTATIVE IS HERE TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS AND AMEND THEIR REQUEST.
PATRICK CHRISTENSEN, THREE 15 EAST COMMERCE SUITE 3 0 4.
I'VE GOT JUST ONE SLIDE I WANT TO SHOW YOU.
UM, SO WE DID REACH OUT TO ST.
THEY'VE GOT SOME ORGANIZATIONAL ISSUES THEY HAVE NOT RESPONDED TO, TO OUR REQUEST FOR A MEETING.
BUT BASICALLY I WOULD JUST LIKE TO SHOW, I DON'T HAVE THE POINT NUMBER, BUT YOU CAN SEE THE TWO LITTLE SQUARES ON THE TOP AND THE BOTTOM OF THAT EXHIBIT.
THIS IS ALL PART OF THE GONZABA MEDICAL GROUP.
THEY HAVE VERY LARGE, VERY LARGE, UH, OFFICE.
OFFICE COMPLEX RIGHT, RIGHT HERE.
AND I WANNA SHOW YOU, OH, WHY IS IT NOT? AND SO THIS IS THE PROPERTY AT ISSUE ON SAYER STREET.
UH, YOU'VE GOT PLEASANTON SAYER.
THIS IS THE PROPERTY WHERE, WHERE STAFF IS RECOMMENDING DENIAL.
I'M AMENDING REQUEST FOR THE ENTIRE PROPERTY TO C ONE S FOR NON-COMMERCIAL PARKING.
UM, THAT WILL FIT WITH WHAT THE PLANNING COMMISSION RECOMMENDED APPROVAL ON.
UM, THE GOAL HERE WITH THIS PROPERTY IS TO BUILD THIS, THIS PARKING LOT.
THERE'S A PROPERTY JUST NORTH OF THIS, YOU MIGHT HAVE SEEN IN THE STAFF PRESENTATION.
THAT'S A, A MEXICAN POTTERY STORE.
THEY WOULD LIKE TO PURCHASE THAT AND THEY'VE REACHED OUT TO THEM ABOUT THAT.
BUT THERE'S NOTHING, UM, SECURE AT THIS TIME.
SO WE'RE GONNA, WE'RE GONNA BUILD THE PARKING LOT AND IF THEY EVER DECIDE TO SELL IN THE FUTURE, WE'LL PROBABLY COME BACK AND ASK FOR A MEDICAL CLINIC REZONING.
BUT THAT'S WHAT WE'RE ASKING FOR.
THEY DEFINITELY DEF DEFINITELY NEED PARKING OUT THERE.
THEY'RE, THEY HAVE LARGE OFFICE COMPLEX AND, UM, THEY REALIZE THEY, THEY THEY SHOULD NOT BE ENCROACHING INTO THE NEIGHBORHOOD.
WE PROMISE NOT TO DO THAT ANY FURTHER GOING FORWARD.
IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, I'M HAPPY TO ANSWER THAT.
ANY PUBLIC COMMENT? THERE IS NO PUBLIC COMMENT.
THIS IS A DISTRICT THREE CASE, SO COMMISSIONER HINOJOSA TO YOU FOR QUESTIONS.
UH, I DO HAVE A COUPLE, JUST A COUPLE QUESTIONS MR. PATRICK.
SO THEY'RE GONNA USE IT AS A PARKING LOT, I'M ASSUMING THIS WILL BE FOR THEIR STAFF OR PATIENTS.
DO, DO, DO THEY KNOW OR DO STAFF? 'CAUSE THEY, THEY WANT TO KEEP THE PARKING AS CLOSE TO THE CLINICS AS POSSIBLE FOR THEIR, THEIR PATIENTS.
ARE THEY PLANNING ON FENCING IT OFF AT ALL OR? YES, THEY'LL COMPLY WITH THE, THE UDC.
THEY HAVE TO PUT A SOLID SCREEN FENCE TO THE EAST WHERE THERE'S A SINGLE FAMILY HOME.
AND OF COURSE THE PROPERTIES IN THE NORTH IS COMMERCIAL.
THEY, THERE'S ALREADY A FENCE THERE FROM THE, THE POTTERY SHOP.
THEY'LL PROBABLY PUT THEIR OWN.
[00:15:01]
SO IT'LL LOOK A LITTLE BIT NICER.THAT'S ALL THE QUESTIONS I HAVE.
ALRIGHT, ANY FURTHER QUESTIONS TO MY RIGHT? SEEING NONE, UH, REMOTELY.
I JUST WANTED TO ADD TO HIS AMENDMENT.
UM, WE HAVE A STIPULATION IN THE CODE THAT IF THEY ARE DEMOL BLAH, SORRY, REMOVING OR DEMOLISHING A HOUSE THAT THEY NEED.
ALSO ANOTHER SPECIFIC USE AUTHORIZATION.
IF YOUR USE IS A PARKING LOT AND SO BASICALLY THE AMENDMENT WOULD BE C ONE S FOR A NON-COMMERCIAL PARKING LOT AND REQUIRING THE DEMOLITION OF A HOME FOR THE PARKING LOT USE.
DOES THAT MAKE SENSE? IT DOES NOT
SO THE HOUSE WAS DEMOLISHED PRIOR TO THE APPLICATION BEING FILED? CORRECT.
UM, WHICH WE WANT TO DISCOURAGE, CORRECT? CORRECT.
SO, UM, IF COMMISSIONER HINOJOSA WERE TO MAKE A MOTION FOR APPROVAL OF THIS, IT WOULD BE, UH, AN APPROVAL AS AMENDED, INCLUDING THE DEMOLITION OF AN EXISTING HOUSE.
I'M BASICALLY TELLING YOU THE AMENDMENT.
SO THE AMENDMENT SHOULD BE C ONE S WITH A SPECIFIC USE AUTHORIZATION FOR A NON-COMMERCIAL PARKING LOT AND WITH REQUIREMENT OF DEMOLISHING THE DWELLING UNIT.
SO THAT SHOULD COVER BOTH SPECIFIC USE AUTHORIZATIONS.
IT'S JUST, AGAIN, WE HAVE IT IN OUR CODE THAT YOU NEED AN S IF A HOUSE IS DEMOLISHED FOR A PRI, IF THE PRIMARY USE IS A PARKING LOT.
WE'RE GONNA WORK ON THAT IN UDC AMENDMENTS.
BUT FOR THE MEANTIME THIS IS HOW WE'RE GONNA GO.
NOW THEN IT IS TO COMMISSIONER HINOJOSA FOR DISCUSSION AND UH, POTENTIAL MOTION.
UH, THIS IS A LITTLE OUT OF PLACE TO BE HONEST WITH YOU.
I'M ASSUMING THAT'S WHY CITY KIND OF, UH, IS REQUESTING A DENIAL.
HOWEVER, GONZABA IS PRETTY BIG, ESPECIALLY IN THAT STREET ON PLEASANTON ON THE SOUTH SIDE OF SAN ANTONIO.
UM, I SEE THIS IS A POSITIVE, UH, HELP FOR THAT, FOR THAT, UH, ENDEAVOR FOR GONZABA.
UH, THEREFORE I WOULD LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION FOR, UM, APPROVAL AS AMENDED C ONE S NON-COMMERCIAL PARKING LOT.
YOU JUST HAVE TO SAY AS AMENDED.
UM, I WAS GONNA SEE HOW CLOSE I COULD GET ON THE NEXT ONE.
UM, BUT, UH, IN ANY EVENT, UH, ALRIGHT.
ANY DISCUSSION COMMISSIONERS TO MY RIGHT.
SEEING NONE TO MY LEFT DISCUSSION.
ALRIGHT, THE MOTION IS FOR APPROVAL OF ITEM NUMBER TWO AS AMENDED.
'CAUSE I'M NOT GONNA SAY IT AGAIN.
UM, BY COMMISSIONER HINOJOSA WITH THE SECOND BY COMMISSIONER TSET, ROLL CALL, VOTE PLEASE.
WE ARE NOW GONNA MOVE ON TO ITEM NUMBER THREE, PLEASE.
ALEX RATANA ZONING PLANNER WITH DEVELOPMENT SERVICES.
ITEM NUMBER THREE IS LOCATED AT 2 0 6 WEST HEART AVENUE, GOING FROM R SIX RESIDENTIAL SINGLE FAMILY DISTRICT TO C TWO COMMERCIAL DISTRICT WITH ALL OVERLAYS STAYING THE SAME.
THERE WERE 27 NOTICES SENT OUT.
ZERO IN FAVOR, ZERO OPPOSED WITHIN 200 FEET IN ST.
LEO'S NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATION GAVE NO RESPONSE.
THE EXISTING R SIX RESIDENTIAL SINGLE FAMILY DISTRICT IS AN APPROPRIATE ZONING FOR THE PROPERTY AND SURROUNDING AREA.
THE PROPOSED C TWO COMMERCIAL DISTRICT IS NOT THE SUBJECT.
PROPERTY IS LOCATED AT THE END OF AN ESTABLISHED RESIDENTIAL BLOCK WITH SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENCES ACROSS THE STREET.
FURTHERMORE, THE SUBJECT PROPERTY HAD AN EXISTING RESIDENTIAL DWELLING RECENTLY DEMOED.
WITHIN THE PAST FEW MONTHS, THE REQUEST COULD CONTRIBUTE TO COMMERCIAL ENCROACHMENT INTO THE NEIGHBORHOOD AND ADVERSELY IMPACT THE SURROUNDING NEIGHBORS WITH AN INCREASE IN TRAFFIC AND NOISE THAT RESULTS FROM COMMERCIAL DEVELOPMENT.
STAFF RECOMMENDS DENIAL PLANNING COMMISSION RECOMMENDS APPROVAL OF THE APPLICANT'S AMENDMENT TO NEIGHBORHOOD COMMERCIAL AND THE APPLICANT'S REPRESENTATIVE IS HERE TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS AND AMEND THE REQUEST.
ALL RIGHT, IF WE COULD HAVE THE APPLICANT'S REPRESENTATIVE PLEASE.
UM, CAN I HAVE MY LITTLE PRESENTATION? UH, AGAIN, COMMISSIONERS PATRICK CHRISTENSEN.
[00:20:01]
YES.THIS IS ALSO, THIS IS ALSO FOR THE GONZABA GROUP.
THIS IS THE PROPERTY THERE AT THE TOP.
UM, SO THIS IS AN EXISTING BUILDING RIGHT HERE.
THEY WOULD LIKE TO BUILD ANOTHER BUILDING AT THE REAR.
THIS IS THE PROPERTY WE'RE TALKING ABOUT, UH, REZONING.
IT WILL ONLY REALLY INCLUDE A, A, A CORNER OF A BUILDING AND SORT OF A BACKEND OUT FOR THE, FOR AN AMBULANCE DROP OFF OR MORE LIKELY PICKUP RIGHT THERE.
UM, THEY ASK FOR THAT BECAUSE CLEARLY IT'LL BE, YOU KNOW, UH, CUSTOMERS COMING IN AND OUT THROUGH THESE, THESE PORTIONS HERE.
SO AGAIN, YOU KNOW, WE STARTED OUT WITH C TWO COMMERCIAL FOR MEDICAL CLINIC, SO THAT'S ALLOWED BY WRIGHT.
BUT IN WORKING WITH THE PLANNING COMMISSION AND UM, STAFF, I'M, I'M AMENDING THE REQUEST TO C ONE S FOR MEDICAL CLINIC ON THIS SITE.
UM, AGAIN, WE'VE BEEN NOTIFIED ABOUT DEMOLISHING HOUSES FOR COMMERCIAL ENCROACHMENT.
SO THEY GONZABA WILL NOT DO THAT AGAIN, WE, WE JUST ASK FOR YOUR FORGIVENESS ON THIS ONE AND PLEASE ALLOW US TO THE REZONING FOR C ONE S.
HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS.
ALRIGHT, UH, IS THERE ANY PUBLIC COMMENT? THERE IS NO PUBLIC COMMENT FOR THIS ITEM.
UM, OKAY, SO QUESTION TO ME, UH, 'CAUSE IT'S JUST DISTRICT FIVE CASE STAFF.
SO IN THIS CASE, IT'S NOT A NON-COMMERCIAL PARKING LOT, IT IS SIMPLY A C ONE S FOUR MEDICAL CLINIC.
WE'RE, WE'RE GONNA GET DOWN, WE'RE GONNA GET IT DOWN TO LOOK AT THE CASE MANAGER.
SO WE DON'T HAVE QUITE THE SAME ISSUES HERE, CORRECT? CORRECT.
I THINK THOSE ARE THE MAJORITY OF MY QUESTIONS 'CAUSE I'VE ALREADY HEARD THIS CASE, UH, AT PLANNING COMMISSION.
UH, BUT COMMISSIONERS TO MY LEFT QUESTIONS, COMMISSIONERS TO MY RIGHT QUESTIONS.
SEEING NONE, COMMISSIONERS REMOTELY.
ALRIGHT, UH, TO ME FOR DISCUSSION AND POTENTIAL MOTION.
UM, YOU KNOW, AGAIN, THERE IS CONCERN ABOUT, UM, POTENTIAL ENCROACHMENT INTO THE RESIDENTIAL NEIGHBORHOOD, PARTICULARLY IN LIGHT OF THE DEMOLITION.
UH, BUT THAT BEING SAID, I THINK THIS IS A GOOD SOLUTION GIVEN THE PLANNED EXPANSION.
GOING BACK, ALREADY REACHING INTO, UH, THE RESIDENTIAL AREA.
UH, IT ALSO TO MY MIND, PROVIDES SOME PROTECTION OF THE RESIDENTIAL BY PUTTING ANY AMBULANCE THAT COMES TO PICK UP AND TAKE OUT RES OR TAKE OUT PATIENTS, UH, IN KIND OF A PROTECTED COVERED AREA.
SO, UH, WILL HAVE LESS IMPACT ON THE NEIGHBORHOOD AS THEY ARE RETRIEVING, UH, POTENTIAL PATIENTS.
SO THAT BEING SAID, I AM MOVING FOR APPROVAL OF ITEM NUMBER THREE AS AMENDED.
SECOND BY COMMISSIONER HINOJOSA.
UH, ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION? COMMERS TO MY LEFT.
SEEING NONE, COMMISSIONERS TO MY RIGHT.
ALRIGHT, THE MOTION IS FOR APPROVAL AS AMENDED BY ME.
HINOJOSA, ROLL CALL, VOTE PLEASE.
COMMISSIONER PETE RODRIGUEZ? YES.
WE ARE NOW GONNA MOVE ON TO ITEM NUMBER SIX, PLEASE.
COMMISSIONERS AT EITHER GOLDMAN ZONING SENIOR PLANNING WITH DEVELOPMENT SERVICES.
LETTER NUMBER SIX IS LOCATED AT 14 0 3 WATKINS LANE.
GOING FROM R FIVE RESIDENTIAL SINGLE FAMILY DISTRICT TO R FIVE CD RESIDENTIAL SINGLE FAMILY DISTRICT WITH A CONDITIONAL USE FOR NON-COMMERCIAL PARKING LOT.
THERE WERE 35 NOTICES MAILED SEVEN IN FAVORED, ZERO OPPOSED OUTSIDE 200 FEET, ONE IN FAVOR.
THE CODA PARK NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATION IS IN SUPPORT OF THE REQUEST.
STAFF HAS FOUND INDICATION OF LIKELY ADVERSE EFFECTS ON THE PUBLIC HEALTH AND SAFETY OF WE WELFARE REGARDING THIS REQUEST.
THE CURRENT IFR FIVE RESIDENTIAL SINGLE FAMILY DISTRICT IS AN APPROPRIATE ZONING FOR THE PROPERTY SURROUNDING AREA.
THE PROPOSED R FIVE CD WITH A CONDITIONAL USE FOR NON-COMMERCIAL PARKING LOT IS NOT APPROPRIATE.
THE REQUESTED ZONING CHANGE IS INCONSISTENT WITH THE ESTABLISHED LAND USE PATTERN OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD.
THE INTRODUCTION OF NON-COMMERCIAL PARKING LOT ON A PROPERTY CURRENTLY DESIGNATED FOR SINGLE FAMILY DWELLING CREATES AN INHERENT CONFLICT IN LAND USE INTENSITY.
FURTHERMORE, APPROVAL OF THIS REQUEST WOULD PERPETUATE COMMERCIAL ENCROACHMENT INTO A RESIDENTIAL AREA THAT IS ALREADY FACING PRESSURE FROM SURROUNDING DEVELOPMENT.
GRANTING THIS CHANGE WOULD SET A NEGATIVE PRECEDENT POTENTIALLY OPENING THE DOOR FOR FURTHER INTRUSION INTO THE NEIGHBORHOOD.
COMMERCIAL AND PARKING USES ARE MORE APPROPRIATE ALONG THE MAJOR THOROUGH FOR RATHER THAN ENCROACHING INTO RESIDENTIAL
[00:25:01]
INTERIOR.THE APPLICANT DOES NOT PROPOSE TO DEMOLISH THE EXISTING DWELLING.
SHOULD THE DWELLING BE DEMOLISHED AT ANY POINT IN THE FUTURE.
A RE ZONING SHOULD OBTAIN A SPECIFIC USE AUTHORIZATION WOULD BE REQUIRED TO ALLOW FOR THE PROPERTY TO BE USED AS A PARKING LOT REGARDLESS OF ANY PREVIOUSLY APPROVED CONDITIONAL USE.
AND THE APPLICANT IS ANSWER HERE TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS.
ALRIGHT, IF WE COULD HAVE THE APPLICANT OR APPLICANT'S REPRESENTATIVE PLEASE.
GOOD AFTERNOON, COMMISSIONERS.
UM, JUST TO GIVE YOU SOME BACKGROUND, UM, SEE IF I CAN GRAB THIS HERE.
UM, MARK, OUR, MY CLIENT PURCHASED A PROPERTY.
WOULD YOU MIND SWITCHING THE SLIDES HERE OR CAN I DO IT UP HERE? YOU CAN DO THAT, YEAH.
SO THIS IS THE, MY CLIENT PURCHASED THIS PROPERTY AND HE'S THE, HE'S DEVELOPING A FOOD TRUCK PARK HERE IN THIS AREA.
UM, HIS GOAL IN MINE'S OVERALL OBJECTIVE WAS TO CREATE A, YOU KNOW, A PLACE WHERE THE COMMUNITY CAN GO.
WE CAN HAVE CHILDREN THERE, PLAYGROUNDS, PICNIC TABLES AND WHATNOT.
WHEN WE CREATED A SITE PLAN FOR THE PARKING, IT WAS GONNA PROMOTE, UH, I WOULD SAY AN UNSAFE AREA FOR PATRONS TO NAVIGATE THAT FOOD TRUCK PARK.
SO HIS GOAL WHEN HE PURCHASED THIS PROPERTY OVER HERE, WHICH IS THE PROPERTY IN QUESTION, THE 1403, UM, WATKINS, WHICH WE'RE SEEKING TO REZONE AND IT WAS, IT WAS FOR THAT.
SO TO MAKE IT A MORE WELCOMING AREA.
THIS IS A PROPOSED SITE PLAN FOR 1403 WATKINS WITH THE BUFFER.
UM, WE DIDN'T DEMOLISH THE HOUSE, SO IT'S STILL STANDING.
UM, AND UH, THIS IS THE PARKING THAT WE'RE PROPOSING.
WE MET WITH THE NEIGHBORS, WE MET WITH THE NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATION.
WE RECEIVED, UM, LETTERS OF SUPPORT FROM THE NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATION AS WELL AS THE, THE NEIGHBORS SURROUNDING THAT AREA.
I WANTED TO SHOW YOU THE, UM, SORRY FOLKS.
I'M DIFFICULT NAVIGATING THIS.
UM, THIS IS A SITE PLAN WITH PARKING.
THE, UM, THE PROPOSED FOOD TRUCK PARK.
IT'S VERY BUSY, VERY, VERY DENSE.
UM, IF WE WERE TO OBTAIN ZONING, IT WOULD CLEAN UP DRAMATICALLY.
THAT FOOD TRUCK PARK, IT PROVIDES FOR PLAYGROUNDS, PEOPLE CAN NAVIGATE ON FOOT.
UM, AND THERE IS APPROXIMATELY 200 FEET IN DISTANCE FROM THE FOOD TRUCK PARK TO THE PROPOSED PARKING AREA.
ANY QUESTIONS? ALRIGHT, THANK YOU SO MUCH.
DO WE HAVE ANY PUBLIC COMMENT? THERE IS NO PUBLIC COMMENT.
THIS IS A DISTRICT SEVEN CASE, SO COMMISSIONER SIPES TO YOU FOR QUESTIONS.
I ACTUALLY DON'T HAVE ANY QUESTIONS.
UH, ANY QUESTIONS? UH, TO MY LEFT, TO MY RIGHT.
HAVE WE ALL BEEN COWED
SO STAFF, I I, YOU KNOW WHAT? I'M GONNA BE QUIET TOO.
SO THERE'RE BEING NO QUESTIONS.
UH, IT'S A DISTRICT SEVEN CASE COMMISSIONER SIPES TO YOU FOR DISCUSSION AND POTENTIAL MOTION.
UM, WHILE I RESPECT, UH, STAFF'S ANALYSIS, UM, I ALSO RECOGNIZE THE, THE TREMENDOUS OUTREACH AND, AND, UH, SUPPORT THAT THE, THE NEIGHBORHOOD HAS, UM, GIVEN.
UM, AND THIS IS ONE OF THOSE THINGS WHERE IT, I BELIEVE IT CLEANS UP A LITTLE BIT OF THE, THE TROUBLED AREA AT THAT INTERSECTION THAT THE NEIGHBORHOOD HAS HAD TO DEAL WITH FOR A WHILE.
UM, AND I WILL ALSO MENTION THAT HOUSES ISN'T BEING DEMOLISHED.
UM, SO THIS, THIS COULD AL AL ALWAYS RETURN TO BEING A, UM, RESIDENTIAL USE OR A SMALL OFFICE OR SOMETHING ELSE LIKE THAT.
SO I WILL BE MAKING A MOTION FOR APPROVAL.
SECOND BY COMMISSIONER WHITSETT.
DISCUSSION TO MY LEFT, TO MY RIGHT.
UH, I'M GONNA SUPPORT THE MOTION FOR THE REASONS THAT COMMISSIONER SIPES SAID THERE ARE CERTAINLY CONCERNS ABOUT THAT KIND OF USAGE IN THIS RESIDENTIAL ENVIRONMENT.
BUT GIVEN THE SUPPORT FROM THE NEIGHBORS, UH, THAT THERE'S A AUTO SALES ACROSS THE STREET ACROSS RITA, UH, I'M GONNA SUPPORT THE MOTION.
THE MOTION IS FOR APPROVAL OF ITEM NUMBER SIX BY COMMISSIONER S SIPES WITH A SECOND BY COMMISSIONER WHITSETT.
COMMISSIONER PIE RODRIGUEZ? YES.
[00:30:01]
MOVING ON TO ITEM NUMBER SEVEN PLEASE.ALEX ROTANA ZONING PLANNER WITH DEVELOPMENT SERVICES.
ITEM NUMBER SEVEN IS LOCATED AT 7 3 1 PROBAND STREET AND 1 3 4 KING ROGERS STREET GOING FROM I ONE GENERAL INDUSTRIAL DISTRICT MF 33 MULTIFAMILY DISTRICT AND R SIX RESIDENTIAL SINGLE FAMILY DISTRICT TO IDZ TWO MEDIUM INTENSITY INFIELD DEVELOPMENT ZONE WITH PERMITTED IN C TWO COMMERCIAL DISTRICT NIDZ ONE.
LIMITED INTENSITY IN FULL DEVELOPMENT ZONE WITH USES PERMITTED FOR A NON-COMMERCIAL PARKING LOT WITHOUT OVERLAY STAYING THE SAME.
THERE WERE 37 NOTICES SENT OUT.
ONE IN FAVOR, ONE OPPOSED WITHIN THE 200 FEET AND LONE STAR NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATION GAVE NO RESPONSE.
THE EXISTING I ONE IS NOT AN APPROPRIATE ZONING DISTRICT.
THE EXISTING MF 33 AND R SIX ARE APPROPRIATE ZONING DISTRICTS.
THE PROPOSED IDZ TWO MEDIUM INTENSITY IN FULL DEVELOPMENT ZONE WITH USES PERMITTED IN C TWO COMMERCIAL DISTRICT IS ALSO AN APPROPRIATE ZONING FOR THE PROPERTY AND SURROUNDING AREA.
THE PROPOSED ZONING IS INTENDED TO ACCOMMODATE THE USE OF A CONVENIENCE STORE IN TWO ADDITIONAL TENANT SPACES.
THE APPLICANT INTENDS TO UTILIZE THE EXISTING BUILDING ACCOMPLISHING GOALS OF ADAPTIVE REUSE.
USES PERMITTED WITHIN THE C TWO COMMERCIAL DISTRICT ALIGN IN INTENSITY WITH SURROUNDING COMMERCIAL USES AND CONSERVE THE SURROUNDING NEIGHBORHOOD.
THE PROPOSED IDZ ONE LIMITED INTENSITY IN FULL DEVELOPMENT ZONE WITH USES PERMITTED FOR A NON-COMMERCIAL PARKING LOT IS NOT AN APPROPRIATE ZONING FOR THE PROPERTY AND SURROUNDING AREA.
THE LOCATION FOR THIS PROPERTY IS SITUATED MID BLOCK OF A RESIDENTIAL NEIGHBORHOOD.
THE INTRODUCTION OF A COMMERCIAL USE AND REMOVING THE POTENTIAL FOR FUTURE RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT WOULD BE INCONSISTENT WITH SURROUNDING SINGLE FAMILY USES.
ADDITIONALLY, PROPOSING THIS SITE AS PARKING FOR THE COMMERCIAL BUILDING COULD CAUSE AN INFLUX OF TRAFFIC ON KING ROGERS STREET AND CONTRIBUTE TO COMMERCIAL ENCROACHMENT INTO THE ESTABLISHED NEIGHBORHOOD.
FURTHERMORE, THERE IS EXISTING PARKING ON THE PROPOSED I DZ TWO PROPERTY WHICH WOULD BE FURTHER AIDED BY THE IDZ BASE ZONE, WHICH RELIEVES PARKING REQUIREMENTS BY 50%.
STAFF RECOMMENDS APPROVAL FOR THE PROPERTY LOCATED AT 7 3 1 PROBAND STREET AND STAFF RECOMMENDS DENIAL FOR THE PROPERTY LOCATED AT 1 3 4 KING ROGERS STREET.
THE APPLICANT IS HERE TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS.
ALRIGHT, IF WE COULD HAVE THE APPLICANT PLEASE AND IF YOU WOULD GIVE US YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS FOR THE RECORD.
HI, GOOD AFTERNOON COMMISSIONERS.
UH, 84 NORTHEAST LOOP FOUR 10 SAN ANTONIO, TEXAS 7 8 2 1 6.
UH, WE RESPECTFULLY DISAGREE WITH THE STAFF.
UH, CONCLUSION REGARDING THE SUSTAINABILITY OF THE PROPOSED IDC WITH NON-COMMERCIAL PARKING LOT USE OF THE 1 34, UH, KING ROGER STREET AND OFFER THE FOLLOWING CLARIFICATIONS.
UH, THE PROPOSED IDC ZONING IS NOT INTEND TO INTRODUCE A NEW COMMERCIAL ACTIVITY INTO THE RESIDENTIAL BLOCK.
IT IS PROPOSED ONLY AS A SUPPORTING ACCESSORY FUNCTION TO THE EXISTING COMMERCIAL BUILDING AT SEVEN AT 7 31 PROVEN STREET.
THIS REQUEST DO NOT EXPAND THE COMMERCIAL FOOTPRINT INTO THE AREA, BUT PROVIDES A CODE COMPLIANCE SOLUTION TO AN EXISTING PARKING DEFICIENCY THAT CANNOT BE RESOLVED ON THE PROVEN PROPERTY DUE TO THE PHYSICAL CONSTRAINTS, THE PROPOSED, UH, ADDITIONAL PARKING WILL BE NON-COMMERCIAL IN NATURE ACCESSORY AND CONTROL WITH APPROPRIATE LANDSCAPING BUFFERS AND LIGHTING CONTROLS.
THE DESIGN CAN BE MINIMIZING NEIGHBORHOOD IMPACT.
FORMALIZING PARKING IN A MATTER LOT WILL REDUCE THE LIKELIHOOD OVERFLOW PARKING ALONG RESIDENTIAL STREETS AND HELP MAINTAIN THE CHARACTER OF KING ROGERS STREET.
REGARDING TRAFFIC CONCERNS, THE PARKING LOT IS INTENT TO ALLEVIATE NEIGHBORHOOD IMPACTS BY CENTRALIZING REQUIRED PARKING AND PREVENTING SPILLOVER CONDITIONS.
THE PROPOSED USE ARE NEIGHBORHOOD SERVING IN NATURE AND ARE NOT ANTICIPATE TO GENERATE HIGH INTENSITY COMMERCIAL TRAFFIC.
ALTHOUGH THE IDC ZONING PROVIDES PARKING RELIEF, THE EXISTING BUILDING SITE AND PROPOSED USES STILL REQUIRE MORE PARKING THAN THE ONE THAT CAN BE ACCOMMODATED AT THE PROPERTY.
THE USE OF KING ROGERS STREET A LOT ALLOWS THE PROJECT TO MEET SEATED STANDARDS AND PREVENT LONG-TERM PARKING CONFLICTS.
THE INTENT OF THIS ZONING REQUEST IS TO REHABILITATE A LONG ABANDONED BUILDING, IMPROVE SAFETY AND AESTHETICS, AND INTRODUCE NEIGHBORHOOD SERVINGS RETAIL RATHER THAN INDUSTRIAL ACTIVITIES.
MAINTAINING THE CURRENT INDUSTRIAL ZONING DOES NOT REFLECT SURROUNDING CONDITIONS NOR ENCOURAG REINVESTMENTS.
UH, WE RESPECTFULLY REQUEST CONSIDERATION OF THE STAFF RECOMMENDATION OR APPROVE OF THE REQUEST WE APPROPRIATE COMPLIANT.
IS THERE ANY PUBLIC COMMENT? WE DO HAVE A VOICEMAIL FOR THIS ITEM.
IF WE COULD HAVE THE VOICEMAIL PLEASE.
[00:35:01]
CASE THE NUMBERS ARE TWO NINE FIVE.UH, TELEPHONE NUMBER IS (210) 259-1374.
UM, CALLING, UH, LEAVING A MESSAGE IN REGARDS TO THE, THE LOANING REQUEST FOR REZONING.
THE, THE LOT BEHIND ME, WHICH WILL WOULD TURN IT INTO A PARKING LOT FOR THE BUSINESS AT THREE AT 7 31 PROBE BAND, UH, HAVE RESIDED HERE AT 3 7 1 BANK FOR MOST OF MY 65 YEARS AND IT'S BEEN PRETTY, FOR THE MOST PART, QUIET.
I KNOW THERE'S CHANGES THAT NEED TO BE EXPECTED, UH, BUT I I, I REALLY HAVE CONCERNS OF WHAT, UH, YOU KNOW, THREE DIFFERENT PROPER, THREE DIFFERENT RENTERS AND ONE BIG PARKING LOT.
WHAT KIND OF PEOPLE WOULD BE ATTRACTED AND AT WHAT TIMES OF DAY THEY, THEY WOULD STAY OPEN.
UM, IT COULD GET EXTREMELY CONGESTIVE WITH PEOPLE AND VEHICLE NOISES THAT WHILE WE'RE TRYING TO SLEEP, UM, LIKE I SAID, HUMAN TRAFFICKING, UH, PAN HANDLERS WOULD START TO GATHER.
AND PROSTITUTES THE AREA ALREADY HAS SOME LOUD VEHICLES THAT JUST RACE BY AND LIKE I SAID, THE PARKING LOT WOULD BE IN MY BACKYARD.
AND, UH, IT'S REALLY CONCERNING.
THE PRIOR BUSINESS HAD, UH, HOURS THAT WOULD TERMINATE AT 5:00 PM DAILY AND AFTER THAT THING FOR QUIET, UM, I SAID, UH, I WOULD REALLY HATE TO SEE THINGS CHANGE AS MUCH AND THERE WOULD BE THREE RENTERS AND THEY WOULD ALL HAVE PROBABLY HAD DIFF DIFFERENT HOURS TO, AND, UH, WE ARE JUST TRYING TO
AND, UH, THE OWNERSHIP OF THE 7 31, IF THEY DO GET THEIR ZONING PASSED THROUGH IT, WHAT INTENTIONS DO THEY HAVE TO TO EASE THE, THE CHANGE ON THE LOCAL RESIDENCE? UH, AS FAR AS UH, YOU KNOW, THE PARKING, WHAT THEY PROVIDE TALL FENCING TO WHERE WANDERING ICE CAN'T SEE OUR BACKYARDS AND WHAT WE HAVE IN OUR BACKYARDS.
UH, AGAIN, UH, IF ANYONE NEEDS TO ASK YOU ANY QUESTIONS, I LIVED HERE FOR MOST OF MY LIFE AS I MENTIONED, AND IT'S CONCERNING AND WE DON'T WANT TOO MANY CHANGES.
THAT IS IT FOR PUBLIC COMMENT.
THIS IS A DISTRICT FIVE CASE, SO IT'S TO ME FOR QUESTIONS.
UH, MR. YU, IF I COULD HAVE YOU UP HERE BRIEFLY.
UM, SO I GUESS ONE OF MY UNDERLYING QUESTIONS IS HOW ARE PEOPLE GOING TO ACCESS THE BUILDING FROM KING ROGER STREET? UH, FROM KING ROGER? THEY WILL, THEY WILL ACCESS TO THE BACK.
SO IS THERE GONNA BE A DOOR THERE OR? YEAH, THERE WILL HAVE TO BE A DOOR AND THEN AND, AND A SIDEWALK IN THERE.
AND IS THAT GONNA BE FOR ALL THREE TENANTS? UH, IT, IT WILL HAVE TO BE, YES.
SO WE'LL HAVE TO, TO PROVIDE DOORS FOR, FOR THOSE.
'CAUSE AS YOU CAN SEE ON THE, ON THE, UH, PROBEN LOT, THERE'S ONLY SPACE FOR 20 LOTS RIGHT NOW, 20 PARKING SPACES BECAUSE OF THE, OF THE CURRENT SIZE OF THE BUILDING, PROBABLY WHEN IT WAS BUILT SOME WAY, SOMEHOW IT PASSED.
BUT RIGHT NOW IT'S, IT HAS A LOT OF ISSUES.
'CAUSE THIS IS, THIS IS UP FOR, FOR PERMITTING RIGHT NOW AND THERE ARE SOME COMMENTS ABOUT TDOT AND THINGS LIKE THAT THAT DOES NOT COMPLY, BUT IT'S, IT'S, IT'S IMPOSSIBLE TO COMPLY BECAUSE OF, OF THE CURRENT SITUATION THERE.
SO ONE OF THE USES, UH, THAT IS DISCUSSED IS A CONVENIENCE STORE, CORRECT? YES.
WHAT WOULD BE THE HOURS OF THAT CONVENIENCE STORE? WELL, THE, UH, WE, I HAVE, I HAVEN'T DISCUSSED THIS WITH THE, WITH THE CLIENT, BUT THEY'RE OPEN TO, TO ANY SUGGESTIONS.
SO THEY'RE PROBABLY TRYING TO STAY OPEN UNTIL NINE OR 10 AT NIGHT AND, AND THEN ABOUT IT.
'CAUSE IT'S, IT'S NOT GONNA BE AT GAS STATION, SO IT'S NOT GONNA BE AT 24 7.
UM, HOW MANY SPACES ARE ON THE KING ROGER STREET PROPERTY? HOW MANY SPACES? YEAH, PARKING SPACES.
UH, RIGHT NOW I THINK WE'RE, WE'RE HAVING ABOUT 18.
UM, AM I COUNTING WRONG? ANYONE? THAT'S ABOUT, YEAH, THAT'S WHAT IT'S SHOWING IN THERE.
I THINK THAT'S, THAT'S GONNA BE TO, UH, REDESIGN DUE TO THE, TO THE SHAPE OF IT.
AND I THINK THAT'S WHAT I WANNA TALK ABOUT.
UM, I'M GONNA GIVE YOU AN OPTION.
[00:40:01]
THINGS HERE.WE NEED TO TALK ABOUT HOW MANY SP SPOTS ARE IN KING ROGER.
WHETHER OR NOT WE CAN LIMIT ACCESS TO CERTAIN TIMES ON THAT PROPERTY FOR PARKING.
UH, AND WE NEED TO TALK ABOUT HOURS OF OPERATION ON THE PROBAND STREET AS WELL.
AND THEN I STILL WANNA REACH OUT TO MR. FLORES AGAIN AND I CAN HELP WITH THAT.
UH, BUT I WOULD SUGGEST THAT WE TAKE A TWO WEEK CONTINUANCE AT THIS TIME.
ARE YOU OKAY WITH THAT? YEAH, I'M FINE.
UH, YES, I JUST WANTED TO KNOW, YOU WERE TALKING ABOUT HOURS OF OPERATION, BUT BECAUSE THIS IS AN IDZ, WE CANNOT ADD CONDITIONS THAT THE CITY CAN REGULATE.
I CAN ADD STUFF TO THE SITE PLAN.
I CAN'T ADD ACCESS TO THE SITE PLAN.
WE JUST CAN'T PUT HOURS OF OPERATION.
LIKE IT HAS TO BE A DESIGN ASPECT.
I STILL WANNA HAVE FURTHER CONVERSATION.
I JUST WANTED YOU AWARE I'M LIMIT SOME OF THE DESIGN ASPECTS POTENTIALLY AS WELL.
UH, IF THEY WILL AGREE, UH, 'CAUSE I DO HAVE, WELL, LEMME SEE ANY FURTHER QUESTIONS TO MY LEFT, TO MY RIGHT REMOTELY.
SO IT'S TO ME FOR DISCUSSION AND POTENTIAL MOTION, UH, I AM GOING TO MOVE FOR A CONTINUANCE FOR TWO WEEKS TO THE MARCH 3RD MEETING.
UM, MY CONCERNS ARE, YOU KNOW, I HAVE A REAL BIG PROBLEM, ORPHANING THREE LOTS ON THIS CORNER OF KING ROGER AND BANK.
UM, MR. FLORES HAS RAISED A GREAT NUMBER OF THOSE CONCERNS.
UM, I THINK WE CAN DEAL WITH SOME OF THOSE IN CONJUNCTION WITH MR. FLORES AND MAYBE SOME OF THE OTHER NEIGHBORS BY, UH, MAYBE REDUCING SOME OF THE PARKING SPOTS ON THE KING ROGER PROPERTY.
UM, I WOULD PROBABLY WANT TO ADD A GATE ONTO THE KING ROGER SIDE.
UH, THAT COULD POTENTIALLY BE CLOSED AT CERTAIN HOURS MM-HMM
UM, BUT WE CAN TALK ABOUT THAT LATER.
UM, BUT, YOU KNOW, I'M READY TO, I THINK, APPROVE SOME OF THE PROBAND STUFF.
BUT IF YOU'RE GOOD WITH THE CONTINUANCE, I MOVE TO CONTINUE ITEM NUMBER SEVEN FOR TWO WEEKS TO THE MARCH 3RD MEETING.
BY COMMISSIONER KELLUM, UH, DISCUSSION TO MY LEFT, TO MY RIGHT.
UH, JUST REAL QUICK, UM, YEAH, I, I'M GONNA SUPPORT THIS, THIS, UH, MOTION, UH, THIS AREA IS PRETTY A LITTLE OUTSIDE MY AREA, BUT IS THE WAY MY WIFE GOES TO WORK RIGHT THERE.
AND SHE GOES, THAT LITTLE BILL MILLERS, I'M NOT THROWING HER A SHOUT OUT SINCE I FORGOT TO BRING HER FLOWERS THIS WEEKEND,
BUT MY LOVELY WIFE OF 16 YEARS IS HERE.
SO, UH, THAT'S ALL I HAVE TO SAY.
ALMOST NOT GERMANE, BUT I'LL ALLOW IT.
ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION TO MY RIGHT, UH, DISCUSSION REMOTELY? ALL RIGHT.
THE MOTION IS FOR A CONTINUANCE OF ITEM NUMBER SEVEN TO MARCH 3RD BY ME.
SECOND BY COMMISSIONER KELLUM.
UH, NEXT ITEM IS ITEM NUMBER 10.
ALEXA RATANA ZONING PLANNER WITH DEVELOPMENT SERVICES.
ITEM NUMBER 10 IS LOCATED AT 1514 RIGSBY AVENUE.
GOING FROM R FOUR RESIDENTIAL SINGLE FAMILY DISTRICT TO C TWO CD COMMERCIAL DISTRICT WITH THE CONDITIONAL USE FOR MOTOR VEHICLE SALES WITH ALL OVERLAY STAYING THE SAME.
THERE WERE 34 NOTICES SENT OUT.
FIVE IN FAVOR, ZERO OPPOSED WITHIN 200 FEET.
AND NO REGISTERED NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATION WITHIN THE 200 FEET.
THE EXISTING R FOUR RESIDENTIAL SINGLE FAMILY DISTRICT IS IN APPROPRIATE ZONING FOR THE PROPERTY AND SURROUNDING AREA.
THE PROPOSED C TWO CD COMMERCIAL DISTRICT WITH THE CONDITIONAL USE FOR MOTOR VEHICLE CELLS IS NOT THE SUBJECT.
PROPERTY IS LOCATED WITHIN THE MIDDLE OF AN ESTABLISHED RESIDENTIAL BLOCK WITH SINGLE FAMILY USES DIRECTLY ABUTTING THE PROPERTY.
ALTHOUGH THERE IS A COMMERCIAL DESIGNATION ON THE BLOCK, THE LAW IS VACANT AND ANY POTENTIAL REDEVELOPMENT OF THAT PROPERTY WOULD ENFORCE COMMERCIAL SETBACKS AND BUFFERING REQUIREMENTS.
THE ALLOWANCE OF THE PROPOSED COMMERCIAL ZONING WOULD ALLOW FOR FURTHER COMMERCIAL ENCROACHMENT INTO THE EXISTING NEIGHBORHOOD.
AND THE CONDITIONAL USE FOR MOTOR VEHICLE CELLS WOULD ALLOW FOR A MORE INTENSE COMMERCIAL USE THAT IS TYPICALLY REMOVED FROM RESIDENTIAL NEIGHBORHOODS.
[00:45:01]
AND THIS CASE WAS PREVIOUSLY RECOMMENDED FOR APPROVAL BY THE ZONING COMMISSION ON DECEMBER 16TH, 2025, BUT WAS RESTARTED DUE TO A FRIENDLY AMENDMENT TO C TWO R, WHICH IS NOT PERMITTED.THE APPLICANT IS HERE, WELL, THE APPLICANT IS NOT HERE.
I BELIEVE SHE'S STILL AT A PRIOR ENGAGEMENT.
SO JUST TO DOUBLE DOWN AS WHAT ALEXA JUST STATED, THIS WAS REVIEWED AND, UM, THE ZONING COMMISSION HAD RECOMMENDED APPROVAL, BUT THEN THERE WAS A LAST SECOND CHANGE TO C TWO R, BUT C TWO R IS NOT AN OPTION IN OUR CODE.
IT'S EITHER GOTTA BE C TWO NA.
UM, THE R IS ONLY PERMITTED WITH THE C3 BASED ZONE.
SO AGAIN, BECAUSE WE CANNOT TAKE A, SOMETHING THAT IS NOT IN THE CODE TO CITY COUNCIL, HENCE WHY IT IS BEING REDONE HERE.
UM, BUT WE CAN HOPE TO GET THIS RESOLVED WITHOUT MS. RUSSELL HAVING TO BE HERE SINCE THIS WAS ALREADY DISCUSSED T SEVERAL TIMES I BELIEVE.
UH, MY BLOOD PRESSURE SPIKED A LITTLE BIT.
THIS IS A DISTRICT THREE CASE COMMISSIONER HINOJOSA TO YOU FOR QUESTIONS OF STAFF, I SUPPOSE.
UH, JUST REAL QUICK, I'M GONNA, WHEN IT'S TIME TO MAKE A MOTION, I'M GONNA TRY AND GET I, I GUESS A C TWO NA THAT WOULD PASS AND THAT WOULD BE ABLE TO GO TO CITY COUNCIL FOR APPROVAL.
UM, AGAIN, I KNOW THAT WAS THE ONE MEETING I WAS OUT SICK, BUT, UH, I, I WALKED THE NEIGHBORHOOD OF THE OLD SUNNY SLOPE NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATION, WHICH IS NOT AN OFFICIAL OR, UH, NEIGHBORHOOD YET.
UH, BUT, UH, THEY ARE APPROVED, UH, APPROVED OF IT.
I MEAN, THEY'RE NOT, THERE'S NO OPPOSITION REALLY FROM THE NEIGHBORS ACROSS THE STREETS.
THE S-E-I-S-D TRANSPORTATION DEPARTMENT.
I KIND OF TALKED TO THEM AND THEY DIDN'T REALLY CARE.
BUT, UM, I, AGAIN, I, WHEN IT'S TIME FOR MAKE A MOTION, THAT'S WHAT I'LL BE DOING.
UH, NOW IS THE TIME FOR POTENTIAL MOTION.
I'D LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION FOR C TWO NA.
THE MOTION IS FOR APPROVAL AS C TWO NA WITH A CD FOR ITEM NUMBER 10.
IS THERE A SECOND? I'LL SECOND IT.
I'M GONNA GIVE IT TO COMMISSIONER PETE RODRIGUEZ.
UH, ANY DISCUSSION TO MY RIGHT? SEEING NONE REMOTELY.
MOTION IS FOR APPROVAL AS C TWO NACD.
COMMISSIONER PETE RODRIGUEZ? YES.
[Approval of Minutes ]
THE FINAL ITEM ON OUR AGENDA IS THE APPROVAL OF MINUTES.UH, UH, ANY DISCUSSION AMENDED AMENDMENTS, CHANGES? OMISSIONS? I BELIEVE WE DID RECEIVE YOUR EMAIL.
COMMISSIONER HU SO YOU WILL BE REMOVED FROM IT SINCE YOU WERE NOT IN ATTENDANCE.
SO THERE IS A PROPOSED AMENDMENT TO THE MINUTES THAT, UH, THEY APPARENTLY INADVERTENTLY INCLUDED HUEY AND THAT WILL BE FIXED.
WHAT ELSE? I DON'T THINK THEY CALLED ME TO VOTE IF I VOTED.
THEY SAID YOUR NAME, BUT I GUESS, BUT I DIDN'T SAY ANYTHING AT ALL.
DID YOU HAVE A VOTE ON THAT LAST ITEM?
UH, SORRY ABOUT THAT COMMISSIONER.
I, I DIDN'T, I I KNOW I HEARD YOUR NAME AND I LOOKED OVER, I WAS DAYDREAMING ON SOMETHING ELSE.
SO IN ADDITION TO, UH, THE REMOVAL OF COMMISSIONER HUEY WHO WAS ABSENT, ARE THERE ANY OTHER CHANGES? HEARING NONE? UH, IS THERE A MOTION? I WILL MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE THE MINUTES, UH, WITH, WITH, WITH THE AMENDMENT.
IS THERE A SECOND? I'LL SECOND.
SECOND BY COMMISSIONER KELLUM.
ALRIGHT, WE CAN DO THIS BY ACCLAMATION.
ALL THOSE IN FAVOR OF THE MOTION SAY AYE.
ALL THOSE OPPOSED? SAME, SAME SIGN.
OH AND ABSTENTION FROM COMMISSIONER HUEY.
SOME CITY ATTORNEY'S OFFICE PEOPLE SAY YOU DON'T HAVE TO ABSTAIN.
[Director’s Report ]
UH, IS THERE A DIRECTOR'S REPORT? JUST TO RE REITERATE, UM, STARTING OC, UM, APRIL 1ST, WE WILL NO LONGER BE ACCEPTING VOICEMAILS, UM, FOR ALL DSD MEETINGS, INCLUDING THE ZONING COMMISSION.AND THEN SECONDLY, I WANTED TO GIVE A BIG THANK YOU TO COMMISSIONER JANELLE CHASE.

AND I'M GONNA TAKE A PERSONAL, UH, POINT OF PERSONAL PRIVILEGE TO ALSO REITERATE THAT, UH, COMMISSIONER CHASE'S SERVICE AND INSIGHT HAVE BEEN INVALUABLE AND WE ARE GOING TO MISS YOU GREATLY.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE SO MUCH.
