A TOTAL FRONTAGE OF 169FT ALONG SOUTH LONGORIA AND 200FT ALONG EAST WISCONSIN ROAD, FOR A TOTAL OF 0.77 OF AN ACRE.

REQUESTED ZONING DESIGNATION IS FOR COMMERCIAL GENERAL.

THERE IS SURROUNDING USES OF SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL WITHIN THE AREA, AS WELL AS VACANT LAND AS WELL AS INSTITUTIONAL USES.

AS YOU CAN SEE ON THE ZONING MAP, WE DO HAVE THIS AREA LARGELY ZONED AS AGRICULTURAL ZONING. THIS PROPERTY WAS ANNEXED INTO THE CITY IN DECEMBER 10TH OF 2013. LOWEST ZONING GRADE REQUIRED BY THE STATE OF TEXAS.

IN OUR CIRCUMSTANCES, IT WOULD BE AGRICULTURAL ZONING.

WE DO HAVE PROPERTY THAT IS LOCATED TO THE WEST THAT IS ALSO ZONED COMMERCIAL GENERAL.

THE PROPERTY IS A LITTLE BIT ABOUT 77 OF AN ACRE.

THE DEVELOPER IS REQUESTING TO REZONE IT TO ESTABLISH A COMMERCIAL PLAZA.

THE FUTURE LAND USE DESIGNATION FOR THIS AREA IS NEIGHBORHOOD COMMERCIAL USES.

STAFF DID NOTICE THE PUBLIC FOR 20 NEIGHBORING PROPERTY OWNERS.

WE DID NOT RECEIVE ANY REQUEST IN FAVOR OR AGAINST THIS REQUEST AT THE TIME OF THE REPORT. STAFF DOES RECOMMEND APPROVAL OF THE REZONING REQUEST AND MUST COMPLY WITH ALL REQUIREMENTS DURING THE PROCESS.

THANK YOU. YES. AT THIS TIME, I'D LIKE TO OPEN THE FLOOR FOR ANY PUBLIC COMMENTS ON THIS ITEM.

NO COMMENTS. I'LL GO TO CLOSE THE FLOOR. OH, YOU HAVE A COMMENT, MA'AM? YOU CAN STEP UP TO THE PODIUM.

FOR INVENTIONS IN GARDENS.

IT'S ON WISCONSIN AND RAUL LONGORIA ON THE CORNER.

IT'S RIGHT ACROSS THE STREET FROM THE HIGH SCHOOL. THIS IS BOBCATS AND THIS IS WISCONSIN. OKAY. ARE YOU IN FOR OR AGAINST? YOU WANT TO STEP UP TO THE PODIUM, SIR? IT'S UP TO YOU IF YOU WANT TO SPEAK.

YOU'RE MORE THAN WELCOME TO SPEAK. OKAY.

I'LL GO AHEAD AND CLOSE THE FLOOR. COMMISSION. I DO HAVE ONE QUESTION.

DO WE KNOW WHAT THE APPLICANT IS PLANNING TO PUT THERE? BECAUSE I KNOW IT'S IN FRONT OF A SCHOOL. ACROSS FROM A SCHOOL.

I JUST WANT TO KNOW WHAT IT IS.

OH, WE HAVE A COMMERCIAL PLAZA.

THEY DIDN'T SPECIFY WHAT IS GOING TO BE IN THE COMMERCIAL PLAZA.

THEY JUST SAID THAT IT WAS GOING TO BE A FEW SUITES.

NOW, KEEP IN MIND THAT WE DO ALSO NEED TO LOOK AT PARKING, MANEUVERING, LANDSCAPING AND GREEN SCAPE.

SO WE WOULD TAKE THAT INTO CONSIDERATION DURING THE BUILDING PERMIT PROCESS.

I THINK THE GENTLEMAN IS HERE. I'D LIKE TO HEAR WHAT HE'S PLANNING TO PUT THERE. I'M SORRY. IT'S A RENTAL SPACE, BUT I'LL GO AHEAD AND OPEN THE FLOOR.

I ALSO DON'T KNOW. EXCUSE ME, SIR, CAN YOU STATE YOUR NAME FOR THE RECORD? RENE MARTINEZ. OKAY. THANK YOU.

ARE YOU THE OWNER OF THE PROPERTY? NO, I'M THE BUILDER.

OKAY. DO YOU KNOW WHAT TYPE OF RENTALS OR WHO'S GOING TO BE IN THERE? IT IS ACROSS FROM A SCHOOL.

YEAH. NO, I'M NOT. I'M NOT PARTICULARLY AWARE RIGHT NOW OF WHO'S GOING TO RENT.

THEY JUST SAID RETAIL SHOPPING STRIP.

PROBABLY A PHONE COMPANY OR SOMETHING OF THAT NATURE, THAT KIND OF THING. BUT AS FAR AS I'M CONCERNED, AS FAR AS I KNOW, I DON'T THINK IT'S GOING TO HAVE A RESTAURANT OR ANYTHING. THERE'S A PICTURE IN THERE. I DON'T KNOW IF YOU DID THAT OR I DON'T KNOW IF YOU DID THAT.

YES WE DID. WE HAVE A DRAWING OF IT.

I JUST DON'T KNOW HOW TO PULL IT UP.

THAT'S NOT THE ONE I WAS LOOKING AT.

THAT WAS LIKE A COLOR PHOTO OF THE ONE BEFORE THAT.

YEAH, RIGHT NOW THEY'RE JUST SHELL SPACES, RIGHT? THERE'S NOTHING THERE.

YEAH, YEAH. ON OURS. WE HAVE IT.

OH, YEAH. IT'S JUST THE.

LOOKS NICE. I SHOULD HAVE ASKED.

[00:10:03]

THERE IT IS. YES. THAT'S IT.

SO YOU'RE THE BUILDER. YOU'RE GOING TO BUILD THAT? YES.

GOT IT. I APPRECIATE IT, THANK YOU.

NO PROBLEM. THANK YOU SIR.

ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? I'LL MOVE TO APPROVE THIS ITEM.

OKAY, I'LL GO AND CLOSE THE FLOOR. WE HAVE A MOTION TO APPROVE. I'LL SECOND IT.

SECOND. EVERYBODY IN FAVOR? PLEASE RAISE YOUR RIGHT HAND. ANY OPPOSED? SAME SIGN. MOTION CARRIES.

WE'LL MOVE ON TO ITEM EIGHT.

[B. Consider the Rezoning Request from Industrial, General (IG) District to Commercial, General]

SO THIS PROPERTY IS LOCATED ON THE NORTHWEST CORNER OF NORTH EXPRESSWAY 21 FRONTAGE AND EAST JUNIOR ROAD. THE PROPERTY HAS A TOTAL FRONTAGE OF 330FT ALONG EXPRESSWAY 21 FRONTAGE AND 100FT ALONG EAST JUNIOR STREET, FOR A TOTAL OF 1.02 ACRES.

REQUESTED ZONING DESIGNATION IS COMMERCIAL GENERAL DISTRICT, WHICH IS A PRIMARY COMMERCIAL DISTRICT DISTRICT TO ACCOMMODATE A WIDE RANGE OF COMMERCIAL USES. CURRENTLY IT IS ZONED INDUSTRIAL.

WE DO HAVE THE INSTITUTIONAL USES AS WELL AS SOME VACANT LAND WITHIN THE AREA.

WE DO HAVE A SCHOOL LOCATED ON THE SOUTH SIDE OF JUNIOR, AND THEN WE DO HAVE THE BUS BARN, ALSO LOCATED ON THE WEST SIDE OF THE PROPERTY TO THE EAST. WE DO HAVE THE EXPRESSWAY.

THE APPLICANT IS REQUESTING TO SEEK A ZONE CHANGE TO DO A COMMERCIAL DEVELOPMENT.

WE DID NOTIFY THE SURROUNDING PROPERTY OWNERS.

A TOTAL OF 11, AND WE DID NOT RECEIVE ANY COMMENTS IN FAVOR OR AGAINST THIS REQUEST AT THE TIME OF THIS REPORT. SO IF YOU CAN SEE ON THE SCREEN WE DO HAVE THE PORTION OF TRACT ONE THAT IS FACING ALONG EXPRESSWAY TO 81 FRONTAGE.

AND THEN LOTS 25, 26 AND 27 ARE OFF OF JUNIOR ROAD.

CURRENTLY, RIGHT NOW THERE IS A BUILDING THAT'S MORE COMMERCIAL NEIGHBORHOOD.

PREVIOUSLY IT WAS USED FOR LIKE WINDSHIELD REPAIR AND STEREO INSTALLATIONS AND STUFF.

THANK YOU. I'LL GO AHEAD AND OPEN THE FLOOR FOR ANY PUBLIC COMMENTS ON THIS ITEM.

NO COMMENTS. I'M GOING TO CLOSE THE FLOOR COMMISSION. I'VE JUST GOT A QUESTION FOR STAFF. AGAIN, IT IS ACROSS FROM A SCHOOL.

DO WE KNOW WHAT'S GOING IN THERE AT THE MOMENT, NO. THEY JUST WANT TO.

THEY RECENTLY REZONE THE PROPERTY TO THE NORTH OF IT, AS YOU CAN SEE. LOT 14, WHICH IS A COMMERCIAL GENERAL.

WE REZONE THAT ON APRIL THE 4TH OF 2017.

SO I THINK THEY'RE JUST TRYING TO INCORPORATE IT ALL AS JUST ONE BIG COMMERCIAL DEVELOPMENT. THE SAME OWNER? YES, IT IS THE SAME OWNER.

AND STAFF DOES RECOMMEND APPROVAL OF THE REZONING REQUEST.

THE SUBDIVISION IS CALLED POULTRY SUBDIVISION THAT THEY'RE SUBDIVIDING.

SO MAYBE THEY'RE GOING TO SELL CHICKEN. NO, I'M OKAY WITH IT.

NO MOTION. MOTION? YEAH. MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE. SECOND. EVERYBODY IN FAVOR? PLEASE RAISE YOUR RIGHT HAND. ANY OPPOSED? SAME SIGN. MOTION CARRIES.

[C. Consider the Rezoning Request from Residential, Primary (RP) District to Residential,]

BEING ALL OF LOT FIVE IOWA STATES LOCATED AT 2110 EAST IOWA ROAD.

STAFF. YES, SIR. SO THIS PROPERTY IS LOCATED ON THE SOUTH SIDE OF EAST IOWA ROAD, APPROXIMATELY 150FT WEST OF CITRUS LANE.

PROPERTY. TOTAL FRONTAGE HAS 82FT ALONG EAST IOWA ROAD AND A DEPTH OF 140, FOR A TOTAL OF 11,480FT².

THE REQUESTED ZONING DESIGNATION IS FOR MULTI-FAMILY, WHICH IS A HIGH INTENSITY RESIDENTIAL DISTRICT INTENDED TO ACCOMMODATE USES OF MULTI-FAMILY, WHICH IS TWO DWELLING UNITS OR MORE.

ADJACENT ZONING DESIGNATIONS ARE RESIDENTIAL PRIMARY IN ALL DIRECTIONS.

SURROUNDING LAND USES DOES CONSIST OF SINGLE FAMILY.

I WILL SAY THOUGH I DID DRIVE OUT TO THE PROPERTY AND WITHIN THAT SUBDIVISION IT IS RESIDENTIAL PRIMARY ZONING DESIGNATION.

BUT YOU DRIVE OUT THERE AND YOU DO HAVE OTHER MULTIFAMILY UNITS WITHIN THE SUBDIVISION, MEANING YOU HAVE APARTMENT A AND APARTMENT B, SO IT'S JUST TWO UNITS THROUGHOUT THE NEIGHBORHOOD, BUT THERE IS SCATTERED SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL WITHIN THE AREA.

STAFF DID MAIL NOTICE OF THE PUBLIC HEARING TO 35 NEIGHBORING PROPERTY OWNERS AND DID NOT RECEIVE ANY COMMENTS IN FAVOR OR AGAINST THE REQUEST AT THE TIME OF THE REPORT.

SINCE THEN, I DID PROVIDE TO THE BOARD THAT WE HAVE RECEIVED THREE COMMENTS AGAINST THIS REQUEST FOR THE USE OF MULTIFAMILY.

SO BASED OFF OF THE SURROUNDING USES AND THE CHARACTER OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD.

STAFF DOES RECOMMEND APPROVAL OF THE ZONE.

REQUEST APPROVAL? YES.

THANK YOU. RITA, CAN I ASK YOU A QUESTION? IS HAS ENGINEERING LOOKED AT THIS YET? TO SEE HOW MANY UNITS THEY THINK WOULD POSSIBLY FIT IN THAT?

[00:15:03]

THEY DID PROVIDE US WITH A SITE PLAN FOR PLEX.

YEAH, IT'S JUST TWO UNITS.

IT'S SIMILAR TO WHAT'S IN THE SURROUNDING AREA.

AND IT'S CURRENTLY AUTO URBAN CURRENT.

THE FUTURE LAND USE ACTUALLY DOES CALL FOR AUTO URBAN USES.

RIGHT NOW. IT'S ZONED RESIDENTIAL PRIMARY FOR ONE SINGLE FAMILY HOME, AND IT'S A SUBDIVISION THAT WAS BUILT SINGLE FAMILY.

WELL, THE INTENT, I BELIEVE, WAS SINGLE FAMILY.

BUT WE ANNEXED THIS PROPERTY AND THE WAY WE ANNEX IT, THERE WAS ALREADY EXISTING TWO UNITS ON.

IT'S AN OLDER DEVELOPMENT. YES.

YEAH. WHEN IT WAS IN THE COUNTY, IT'S A POSSIBILITY THAT THOSE TWO UNITS STARTED COMING UP. THERE'S A LOT OF MIXED USE.

THERE'S SOME SINGLE FAMILY, BUT THERE'S A LOT OF MULTIFAMILY ADJACENT TO IT ON THE ORANGE. ALL THAT IS MULTIFAMILY, RIGHT? CORRECT. SO LET ME GO HERE.

ADJACENT. WHAT'S THE DARKER ORANGE THAT IS MULTIFAMILY? IF YOU DRIVE DOWN CITRUS, IT ALSO ENDS UP INTO A SUBDIVISION THAT IS A PRIVATE SUBDIVISION. LET ME POINT IT OUT.

SO THOSE ARE ALL FOURPLEXES IS WHAT YOU'RE SAYING? THIS AREA HERE. YEAH. THE ORANGE IS ALL FOURPLEXES.

THAT IS WHAT THE ZONING DESIGNATION HAS FOR WITHIN THIS AREA ALONE.

ALONG CYPRESS, YOU HAVE A MIXTURE OF THE TWO AND SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL HOMES.

IT'S IT'S SCATTERED THE WAY IT'S OUT THERE ON THE NEIGHBORHOOD.

BUT THE ACCESS IS THROUGH IOWA.

CORRECT. THE ACCESS FOR THIS PROPERTY WOULD BE OFF OF IOWA ROAD.

CAN YOU PUT UP THE AERIAL SHOT OF IT? BECAUSE YOU DO HAVE LIKE A FOURPLEX SUBDIVISION JUST SOUTH OF CYPRESS ON THAT.

YES. YOU DO HAVE A MULTIFAMILY SUBDIVISION AND THAT ONE IS PRIVATE.

DO WE KNOW ON WOODSTONE AND CYPRESS, I GUESS THE RATIO OF DUPLEXES TO SINGLE FAMILY IN THAT AREA IN THAT, IN THAT OLDER PART OF THAT DEVELOPMENT.

WHEN I DROVE OUT THERE EVEN.

YEAH, IT'S PRETTY EVEN BECAUSE WHEN YOU DRIVE OUT THERE, YOU HAVE SOME THAT ARE LOOK LIKE ONE ROOF. YEAH. BUT THEN THEY HAVE TWO ENTRANCES.

YEAH. AND THEN YOU HAVE A AND B AND THEN A AND B YEAH.

THROUGHOUT THE NEIGHBORHOOD. OKAY. AND THEN THE VACANT LAND THAT I'M SEEING THAT'S TO THE WEST THAT'S DOESN'T LOOK LIKE IT HAS HOUSES YET, BUT IT LOOKS LIKE IT'S PLATTED. IS THAT ALSO MULTI-FAMILY.

YES. I THINK THAT THAT'S OVER HERE TO THE WEST.

TO THE LEFT, I BELIEVE.

LOT NUMBER FOUR. NO, ALL I'M SAYING THE THE BIG OPEN VACANT AREA.

OKAY, I GUESS IT'S ORANGE.

SO IT IS MULTIFAMILY ALSO? YES. IT IS CURRENTLY ZONED RESIDENTIAL MULTIFAMILY.

THAT'S RIGHT. I THINK IT'S RED ROCK COUNTRY.

YEAH. THAT OTHER PIECE IS OWNED BY RED ROCK.

WHICH ONE SIR? THE ONE THAT'S VACANT THAT I THINK VICTOR'S TALKING ABOUT IS.

OH, YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT THIS PROPERTY DEVELOPMENT TO THE WEST? YES. SO JUST ADJACENT TO THERE.

MULTIFAMILY IS GOING TO DO THAT, I GET IT.

THAT IS MULTIFAMILY. IT'S ALL GOING TO BE COMMERCIAL ALONG THE EXPRESSWAY AND THEN MULTIFAMILY WITHIN THE BACK. YES.

WHICH IS THIS AREA HERE? CORRECT? YES. THAT'S THE NEW SUBDIVISION GOING IN ON THE HIGHWAY? YES, SIR. YES.

AND THEN YOU HAVE A FEATHERED HAVEN SUBDIVISION JUST LOCATED SOUTH FROM LOTS ONE THROUGH SIX. FROM LOTS ONE THROUGH SIX.

WHICH ONE OF THOSE IS MULTIFAMILY? OH, THOSE ARE SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL. ALL OF THEM SINGLE FAMILY. SO ALL THE NEIGHBORS ARE ACTUALLY SINGLE FAMILY? YES. WHAT ABOUT WHAT ABOUT WHAT ABOUT EIGHT BEHIND IT OR LIKE SEVEN THROUGH 12? YEAH. BECAUSE THAT'S WHO'S REALLY GOING TO BE CONCERNED ABOUT IT.

SO ALONG WOODSTONE, ONCE YOU GET TO THE EAST SIDE OF CITRUS, YOU START SEEING MULTIFAMILY WITHIN THE AREA.

SO ALONG THIS AREA HERE, AND THEN ONCE YOU GO THROUGH WOODSTONE, YOU START SEEING IT ALONG THIS AREA ON BOTH SIDES.

SO BASICALLY THE THE JOINING NEIGHBORS, NONE OF THEM ARE MULTIFAMILY RIGHT NEXT DOOR.

IT APPEARS TO BE SINGLE FAMILY. YES. AND SO WHAT'S THE REASON THAT STAFF RECOMMENDS APPROVAL IF THE IMMEDIATE NEIGHBORS ARE NOT MULTIFAMILY? BECAUSE THE FUTURE LAND USE CALLS FOR AUTO URBAN USES, WHICH COULD BE A CONJUNCTION OF SINGLE FAMILY AND MULTIFAMILY, AND THEN ALSO THE SURROUNDING AREAS WITHIN THE NEIGHBORHOOD.

RIGHT. WHERE DO WE SEE THAT FUTURE LAND USE? RIGHT THERE. FUTURE LAND USE CALLS FOR AUTO URBAN.

OKAY.

ALL RIGHT. SO AT THIS TIME, I'M GOING TO OPEN THE FLOOR FOR ANY PUBLIC COMMENTS. I'D LIKE TO SPEAK ON THIS ITEM.

GO AHEAD GO TO STEP UP TO THE PODIUM, PLEASE. IF ANYBODY WAS AGAINST IT, WE'D LIKE TO HEAR IT. NO COMMENTS.

I'LL GO AND CLOSE THE FLOOR. YOU DID SAY YOU GOT THREE AGAINST.

YES, SIR. I DID PROVIDE IT TO THE BOARD. IT SHOULD BE THERE. WE DID RECEIVE THREE COMMENTS VIA EMAIL AGAINST THIS REQUEST.

YES. SO THE TWO OF THEM DON'T SAY ANYTHING OR COMMENT OR REASON WHY.

ACTUALLY, NONE OF THEM SAY A COMMENT, A REASON WHY, EXCEPT ONE SAYS TOO MANY APARTMENTS IN AREA.

[00:20:01]

CORRECT. THERE WAS ALSO SOME OTHER NOTICES THAT WE RECEIVED FOR ANOTHER ITEM.

SO THAT'S ALSO INCLUDED IN THERE AS WELL, SIR. THE ADDRESS 2003 WOODSTONE. IS THAT HAPPEN TO BE LOT SEVEN THROUGH 12? ANY CHANCE OR THERE'S 2103? WOODSTONE THAT'S GOING TO BE A NEIGHBOR. WELL, NO. 2003 2003. THAT'S IN THE BACK.

2103 203. YOU GOT TWO OF THEM.

THAT'S THAT'S GOING TO BE ANOTHER BLOCK.

THAT'S G. BUT THEY'RE NOT HERE.

YEAH. AND THEY DIDN'T WRITE ANYTHING.

THANK YOU. YEAH. BUT THE ACCESS IS OUT OF IT WHICH IS I THINK IT'S A PRETTY BIG ROAD ISN'T IT. IT'S A BIG ROAD. HOW BIG IS IOWA? WELL, NOT BIG ROAD, BUT I DO HAVE OUR CITY TRAFFIC ENGINEER HERE.

SHE CAN PROBABLY DISCUSS THAT A LITTLE BIT INTO FURTHER.

A MAIN STREET VERSUS A SUBDIVISION STREET.

IT'S A MAIN STREET. IT'S BETTER, I GUESS.

YEAH. BUT THEY ALREADY HAVE THIS HERE.

IT'S A TWO LANE ROAD. A TWO LANE ROAD.

ALL OF THIS IS ALREADY.

I'M OKAY WITH IT. DO YOU WANT TO MAKE A MOTION? WANT A MOTION? I'LL MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE BASED ON STAFF'S RECOMMENDATION.

SECOND IN FAVOR, PLEASE RAISE YOUR RIGHT HAND.

OPPOSED. SAME SIGN. MOTION CARRIES.

ITEM EIGHT D. WE'RE GOING TO CONSIDER THE REZONING REQUEST FROM RESIDENTIAL PRIMARY

[D. Consider the Rezoning Request from Residential, Primary (RP) District to Commercial,]

ORIGINAL TOWN SITE OF EDINBURG, LOCATED AT 501 WEST CANAL STREET.

STAFF. YES, SIR. SO THIS PROPERTY IS ACTUALLY LOCATED RIGHT ACROSS THE STREET FROM US HERE AT CITY HALL. IT HAS A TOTAL OF 50FT OF FRONTAGE ALONG CANAL STREET AND 142FT ALONG SEVENTH AVENUE, FOR A TOTAL LOT AREA OF 7100FT².

REQUESTED ZONING DESIGNATION IS COMMERCIAL NEIGHBORHOOD DISTRICT, WHICH PROVIDES FOR SMALL NEIGHBORHOOD SHOPPING OPPORTUNITIES AND SERVICES, AND LARGELY RESIDENTIAL AREAS.

THE DISTRICT IS NOT INTENDED TO BE PART OF COMMERCIAL CORRIDORS ALONG MAJOR ROADS.

THE APPLICANT IS REQUESTING A ZONE CHANGE TO ESTABLISH A LAW OFFICE.

ADJACENT ZONING DESIGNATIONS OUR DOWNTOWN DISTRICT WITHIN THE AREA AND JUST WEST OF IT.

WE DO HAVE ANOTHER PROPERTY THAT IS ALSO OF THE SAME ZONING DESIGNATION REQUEST, WHICH IS COMMERCIAL NEIGHBORHOOD.

STAFF DID MELANOTIS TO 39 NEIGHBORING PROPERTY OWNERS AND RECEIVED NO COMMENTS IN FAVOR OR AGAINST THIS REQUEST.

AT THE TIME OF THIS REPORT, STAFF DOES RECOMMEND APPROVAL BASED OFF OF THE SURROUNDING USES. THANK YOU.

I'LL GO AHEAD AND OPEN THE FLOOR FOR ANY PUBLIC COMMENTS ON THIS ITEM, PLEASE. BEFORE YOU START MY TIME, I NEED TO HAND OUT SOME PAPERS.

SURE.

ALL RIGHT. WITH THE PICTURE THERE, YOU CAN SEE THE MAJORITY.

COULD YOU PLEASE STATE YOUR NAME. FERN.

MCCLARITY. I'M ONE OF THE OWLS.

WE ALL KNOW YOU. OKAY.

AND IF YOU LOOK HERE, MOST OF THESE ARE HOMES THAT ARE THERE.

AND I HAVE LOOKED UP EIGHT PROPERTIES.

JUST PICK JUST OUT OF RANDOM.

AND I LOOKED AT EIGHT OF THEM.

LIKE I SAID, THE MAJORITY OF THEM ARE HOMESTEAD THEIR HOMES.

AND THEN THEY ALL HAVE ABOUT THE SAME SIZE LOT 7100 SQUARE FOOT FOR THE LOT.

AND IN 22 MOST OF THEM WERE LIKE 34,800.

AND THE LAST YEAR AND THIS YEAR, IT'S GONE UP TO 60,350.

AND WE HAVE ONE LARGE ONE THAT IS 10,650 SQUARE FOOT, AND IT'S 63 NINE. AND THERE ARE THE THREE LITTLE LOTS ON THE END TEN, 11 AND 12. THEY'RE GOING THEY'RE LISTED AT 30, $2,066 FOR, FOR THE PROPERTY.

AND OUR QUESTION IS, DO YOU HAVE ONE THAT MOST OF THEM WERE GOING FOR $60,350 FOR THEIR LOT? ALMOST EVERY ONE OF THESE, AND WE HAD ONE, WHICH I BELIEVE YOU ALL MENTIONED JUST NOW, IT WENT FROM 53,922 AND IT GOT COMMERCIAL, I BELIEVE, AND IT WENT UP TO $106,500.

AND MY ONE WHAT I'M WONDERING, AND THE PERSON THAT CALLED ME IS THESE PEOPLE'S PROPERTIES ARE ALL GOING TO GO UP.

AND NOW YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT HOMES.

AND I'M SORRY, I DON'T SEE I CAN SEE ON 107 THAT'S COMMERCIAL THAT I DON'T THINK THERE'S

[00:25:02]

AND SO MY QUESTION WAS WHY? WHY INTERFERE INTO HOMES AND PUT A COMMERCIAL BUILDING AND I DON'T CARE WHAT LAWYER IT'S FOR OR WHATEVER. I'M THINKING ABOUT THE PEOPLE THAT LIVE THERE THAT HAVE CHILDREN AND THINGS. THAT'S GOING TO BE THAT STREET'S ALREADY KIND OF EXTREMELY TRAFFICKED BECAUSE I GO DOWN IT FROM COMMISSIONERS COURT.

BUT TO PUT ANOTHER BUSINESS ON A RESIDENTIAL AND I REMEMBER 10TH STREET, MY SISTER IN LAW USED TO LIVE THERE.

NOW IT'S ALL COMMERCIAL.

SO I THINK ABOUT THE PEOPLE THAT LIVE THERE.

PLEASE. ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU.

THANK YOU. THANK YOU. FERN.

GOOD AFTERNOON. FOR THE RECORD, MY NAME IS JUAN BASSAN.

I'M THE ATTORNEY WHO IS FIGHTING TO MAKE THIS RESIDENTIAL CHANGE, THIS REZONING CHANGE. I RECENTLY PURCHASED THE PROPERTY SOMETIME LAST MONTH.

AS STATED BY BY THE BOARD IMMEDIATELY ADJACENT TO THE WEST, THERE IS ALREADY A RESIDENTIAL LAW FIRM AS WELL, IMMEDIATELY ADJACENT TO THE NORTH AND IMMEDIATELY ADJACENT TO THE NORTH WEST AND IMMEDIATELY ADJACENT TO THE NORTH EAST.

THOSE ALL, ALL THOSE PROPERTIES ARE ALREADY OCCUPIED BY LAW FIRMS AND COMMERCIAL BUILDINGS. SO RESPECTFULLY, AS THE YOUNG LADY STATES, AS WE SAW, THERE'S BEEN A TREND ON 10TH STREET AND KANO WHERE THERE'S PROPERTIES THAT ARE COMMERCIALIZING. THAT JUST TENDS TO BE THE FUTURE OF WHERE THIS CITY IS GROWING.

RESPECTFULLY, I ASK THAT WE KEEP CONSISTENCY WITHIN THOSE FOUR LOTS THAT ARE THERE.

I SAID IMMEDIATELY TO THE EAST, WEST, NORTHEAST AND THE NORTHEAST AREA, AND I ASK THAT YOU APPROVE THE REQUEST.

THANK YOU. THANK YOU SIR. THANK YOU. THANKS.

GOOD EVENING, LADIES AND GENTLEMEN.

FOR THE RECORD, MY NAME IS ROB MONTOYA, AND YOU'RE LOOKING GOOD.

HOW'S. HOW'S LAURA DOING? MR.. DOUGAN. YOU'RE ALSO LOOKING GOOD. BEFORE YOU START MY TIME, I WANT TO HAND YOU A PAPER.

OKAY. SORRY.

SO I LIVE. WHERE? LET ME CARRY THIS.

SO WHERE? MR. BAZAN, ATTORNEY BAZAN WANTS TO OPEN UP HIS OFFICE.

I LIVE RIGHT ACROSS THE STREET.

OKAY. ARE YOU LOT SIX? 12. 12. 12? YES. I MEAN, IT SAYS SIX.

ACROSS THE STREET FROM THE. ACROSS THE STREET.

SEVEN. FOUR. 21 WISCONSIN STREET.

IT'S AN OLD HOME. SIX.

YEAH, RIGHT ACROSS CONDO, NOT ACROSS SEVENTH AVENUE.

SO, ANYHOW, RIGHT ACROSS THE STREET.

ACROSS SEVENTH STREET.

OKAY. IT'S AN OLD. IT'S AN OLD HOUSE.

THAT'S LOT 12 THEN, RIGHT? NOW IT'S 12. 12. RIGHT.

RIGHT THERE. YOU CAN CLICK ON IT. YES.

YEAH. RIGHT THERE. LOT 1212.

RIGHT NOW. SO FOR THE RECORD, OBED MONTOYA AND I APOLOGIZE IF I DIDN'T FILL OUT THE PAPERWORK IN TIME, BUT ANYWAY BUT HERE'S MY THING.

I WELCOME ALL MY NEIGHBORS, ESPECIALLY MR. BAZAN. WHAT THIS YOUNG LADY DID NOT EXPLAIN OR ALLUDED TO IS THAT, YES, WE HAVE TO KEEP CONSISTENCY IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD.

THIS IS MY HOMESTEAD, MIND YOU.

OKAY. IT'S NOT SOMEBODY'S OFFICE.

IT'S MY HOME. OKAY. YOU WANT TO KEEP CONSISTENCY, RIGHT? WHERE HE WANTS TO OPEN UP HIS OFFICE.

THAT'S RICKY, RIGHT? I'M PRETTY SURE YOU ALL KNOW RICKY ROD.

RICKY ROD WAS ALREADY PUT MONEY INTO THAT FOR PARKING.

OKAY. OUT OF HIS OWN POCKET.

IT'S BEEN IT'S BEEN A COMMERCIAL PROPERTY FOR THE LAST 20 YEARS.

NOW, THE ONE THAT MR. BAZAN WANTS TO OPEN UP DOES NOT HAVE PARKING.

IT'S GOT A SIX FOOT HURRICANE FENCE ALL AROUND.

OKAY. I HAVE NO PROBLEM.

YOU GUYS ARE THE EXPERTS.

YOU WILL DO WHATEVER YOU ALL WANT TO.

I HAVE NO PROBLEM WITH THAT. BUT HERE'S MY THING.

WHEN THERE IS A FIESTA COMPANY, PARTYING AND EVERYTHING, IT'S BEEN ON IN THE PAST THAT FOLKS WILL PARK ON THE STREET.

OKAY. IT'S OKAY. YOU GUYS ARE THE EXPERTS.

ALL I'M SAYING IS, YOU WANT TO DO THAT, ACCEPT IT.

[00:30:04]

THE INSPECTORS HAVE TO LOOK AT THAT.

HE'S GOT ENOUGH SPACE. RICKY RUDD HAS NO SPACE NOW AS FAR AS CONSISTENCY GOING TOWARDS THE COURTHOUSE, THE THE PLACES THAT HE REFERRED TO, MR. BRESLIN REFERRED TO ALREADY HAVE PARKING.

WE'VE BEEN PLANNING FOR THIS FOR THE LAST 50 YEARS.

ALL OF A SUDDEN, SOME GUY WANTS TO BUY THAT PLACE A RESIDENTIAL AND NOT MAKE PARKING.

IT'S UP TO YOU GUYS. IT'S UP TO YOU.

WHATEVER Y'ALL WANT TO DO, FOLLOW THE LAWS CONSISTENTLY.

I'M AGAINST IT. UNLESS HE MAKES PARKING LOT INSIDE HIS PROPERTY.

AND I THINK THE CODE IS THAT PER OFFICE THEY HAVE TO HAVE A CERTAIN AMOUNT OF PARKING SPACES. NOW, LET'S SAY YOU ACCEPT IT, WHICH PROBABLY YOU WILL, YOU KNOW, THROUGH CONNECTIONS.

YOU KNOW, MAYBE THE CITY CAN GO IN THERE AND DO STRIPE THE PARKING ON THE STREET, LIKE IN THE BIG CITIES, LIKE IN SAN ANTONIO.

YOU KNOW, A PARALLEL OR SOMETHING. WHY NOT CONSIDER THAT? ELIAS, IT WAS GOOD TO SEE YOU.

I HOPE YOUR LITTLE BOY AND LAURA IS DOING GOOD.

AND YOU'RE LOOKING GOOD.

WHAT ARE YOU DOING NOWADAYS? YOU'RE STILL AT THE BANKING BUSINESS OR RETIRED OR WHAT? NO, I'M STILL WORKING. SO, ANYHOW LIKE I SAID, I WELCOME ALL MY NEIGHBORS. BUT THIS IS NOT BEING CONSISTENT WITH RICKY, ROD, MINERVA, PEOPLE DOWN THE STREET, EVEN THOUGH THERE'S OWN COMMERCIAL.

LET'S KEEP LET'S KEEP THE RULES CONSISTENT.

CONSISTENT, JUST THE WAY THEY SHOULD BE FOR EVERYONE ELSE.

THAT'S IT. OKAY, I DON'T I DON'T KNOW WHAT THE TERMS ARE IN YOUR PLANNING AND ZONING COMMITTEE, BUT I'M PROUD OF YOU GUYS.

I JUST TEXTED YOU RIGHT NOW.

VICTOR THAT CONGRATULATES YOU, THAT YOU'RE DOING GOOD AND EVERYTHING.

THE FAMILY AND EVERYTHING. HOW'S THE HUNTING DOING UP THERE IN. IN AFRICA DOING GOOD, SIR. GOOD TO SEE YOU GUYS.

HEY I GOTTA GO WATCH THE TEXAS RANGERS PLAY SOME BASEBALL.

OKAY. HAVE A GOOD NIGHT. BYE BYE.

THANK YOU. SIR. THANK YOU.

TO ADDRESS ON BACK TO ADDRESS THIS ISSUE.

YES. IN REGARDS TO PARKING, THE PLAN AND THE REMODELING IS TO MAKE THE BACK PORTION A PARKING LOT.

IT IS A VERY SIMILAR SIZE AND WIDTH AS MR. RODRIGUEZ'S. SO, YES, TO TO ADDRESS THE GENTLEMAN'S CONCERN.

THE PLANS ARE TO MAKE THAT THE BACK PART, THE BACK AREA, PARKING LOT. IT'S A REQUIREMENT ANYWAY.

AND I THINK IT IS A REQUIREMENT.

AND ONE OF THE THINGS THAT I WANTED TO SAY IS THAT THE INTENT OF NEIGHBORHOOD COMMERCIAL IS TO KEEP IT LOOKING LIKE A HOME.

IT'S ALSO ONE OF THE THE ZONINGS COMMERCIAL ZONINGS THAT HAS THE LEAST AMOUNT OF TRAFFIC.

WE ONLY ALLOW PROFESSIONALS.

WE ONLY ARCHITECTS, ENGINEERS, ENGINEERING FIRMS, ENGINEERING FIRMS, STUFF LIKE THAT.

THAT IS COMMERCIAL BUSINESSES THAT ARE NOT GOING TO GENERATE AS MUCH TRAFFIC AS AS OTHER BUSINESSES. AND BEING A LAW OFFICE, THEY TYPICALLY OPERATE BY APPOINTMENTS ALSO.

AND HE'S GOING TO ADHERE TO ANY KIND OF COMMERCIAL ZONING REGULATIONS WHEN HE DOES ANY KIND OF UPDATING TO THE PROPERTY. SO I'M SURE YOU'RE ALL GOING TO LOOK THAT ANYWAY.

WE'RE WE'RE JUST CONSIDERING THE REZONING REQUEST BEFORE HE'S OPEN FOR BUSINESS.

HE'S GOT TO MEET ALL THE COMMERCIAL REQUIREMENTS.

STAFF WILL GO THROUGH ALL THE REQUIREMENTS. CORRECT. IT LOOKS LIKE GANO HAS ALREADY HAVE HAS NONRESIDENTIAL BETWEEN EIGHTH THROUGH 10TH.

ACTUALLY, FURTHER OUT, CAN YOU TELL US WHAT'S NEXT TO IT? THE ORANGE. THE ORANGE.

THIS SORT OF LIKE, LIKE LOT EIGHT.

AND DO YOU KNOW THE IT'S A DIFFERENT COLOR.

DO YOU KNOW THE ZONING FOR.

OH, THERE IT IS. FOR THE THE OTHER LOTS TEN, 11 AND 12 THAT ARE VACANT THERE FOR TEN, 11 AND 12 THAT ARE ON THE EAST SIDE AND THE EAST SIDE.

ON THE WEST SIDE OF IT.

ON THE WEST SIDE OF IT.

THAT ARE VACANT. IS THAT.

AM I LOOKING THE WRONG WAY? AM I BE UPSIDE DOWN? YEAH. NO, I THINK IT'S TEN AND NOT TEN IS VACANT. THOSE VACANT ONES THAT ARE THERE ACROSS THE STREET FROM SEVENTH.

ON 12TH AND 11TH. THAT WAS THIS GENTLEMAN'S HOME.

NO, NO, I'M TALKING ABOUT ON THE OTHER THOSE CHAMBER JUST TO THE LEFT OF THE CHAMBER, THAT AREA TO THE WEST ZONE, DOWNTOWN DISTRICT.

SO IT'S LESS STRINGENT REQUIREMENTS AND IT DOES ALLOW FOR MULTI USE, WHICH COULD BE APARTMENTS.

ON THE TOP COMMERCIAL ON THE BOTTOM IT'S DOWNTOWN DISTRICT WHICH IS THE AQUA LOOKING COLOR. YES. OKAY OKAY.

AND THEN CAN YOU TELL ME WHAT'S ON LOT EIGHT.

IT LOOKS TO BE A DIFFERENT COLOR THAT THAT'S THAT THAT'S THAT'S THAT'S ALREADY A LAW FIRM RIGHT NEXT DOOR. YES. ROD'S OFFICE.

YEAH. AND THEN ALSO NUMBER LOT THREE IS ALSO A LAW FIRM.

IT'S A COMMERCIAL. I HAVE IT DOWN AS A COMMERCIAL NEIGHBORHOOD.

I'M NOT EXACTLY SURE WHAT THE TYPE OF BUSINESS IS, BUT IT IS ZONED COMMERCIAL

[00:35:03]

HE ALREADY OR THERE IS ALREADY COMMERCIAL NEIGHBORHOOD.

COMMERCIAL NEIGHBORHOOD ON LOT NUMBER THREE ON THE SOUTH EAST SIDE.

AND THEN YOU DO HAVE DOWNTOWN DISTRICT TO THE NORTH OF IT.

YEAH. BUT IF YOU LOOK AT LOT 23, 17, 13, 14, ALL THOSE ARE LIKE NON RESIDENTIAL NON MULTIFAMILY.

WHAT DOES IT. IT LOOKS LIKE.

WHAT ARE THOSE. THERE YOU HAVE GATEWAY PRINTING SERVICE AREAS.

THEY'RE PARKING. THAT'S THEY'RE PARKING LOT I THINK.

YES. THOSE ARE LIKE IT'S A COMMERCIAL USE.

IT'S NOT NOT. SO. SO WHAT I'M SAYING IS IT'S SQUEEZING IN LOT SEVEN THROUGH 12.

WE'RE SQUEEZING IN. IT'S KIND OF LIKE THE UNIVERSITY WHICH IS TAKING OVER PROPERTIES AND SO FORTH. AND, YOU KNOW, PROPERTY VALUES ARE GOING TO RISE.

THAT'S WHAT WE'RE SEEING HERE FROM UNIVERSITY TOWARDS THE BACK.

WE'RE SEEING THAT HAPPEN HERE.

SIMILAR TO IN KLAUSNER.

YOU SEE KLAUSNER, YOU HAVE COMMERCIAL GENERAL, AND THEN YOU GO ON TO 10TH AVENUE, GOING NORTH AND SOUTH, WHERE YOU SEE COMMERCIAL NEIGHBORHOOD, COMMERCIAL GENERAL ALONG THAT AREA.

I THINK IT MAY END AT ACROSS THE STREET FROM CANO.

I THINK THAT'S GOING TO BE A LIMITED.

I DON'T KNOW THAT WE'LL BE SEEING MORE OF THAT COMMERCIAL USE.

LOTS ONE THROUGH 6TH MAY NOT BE IN THE FUTURE.

I DON'T SEE MANY RESIDENCES IN DOWNTOWN HOUSTON.

I DON'T KNOW WHAT'S GOING ON. SO. FOR THAT REASON.

OKAY. DID YOU HAVE ANOTHER COMMENT BEFORE I CLOSE THE FLOOR, MAN? GO AHEAD.

Y'ALL WERE SAYING NUMBER THREE, WHICH IS ON THE PAPER I GAVE Y'ALL, AND I PULLED IT UP. AND THAT'S THE ONE THAT HAS THE THE LARGER, LOT BIGGER LOT. AND IT SHOWED ON THE PAPERWORK.

WHAT? I BACKED UP FROM THE APPRAISAL DISTRICT THAT THAT'S A RESIDENTIAL.

AND IF YOU'D LIKE TO SEE IT, I'LL BE MORE THAN GLAD TO GIVE IT TO YOU.

BUT AGAIN, MOST OF THOSE HOUSES THAT I LOOKED UP THAT WERE THERE, 11 AND 12, ARE THE GENTLEMAN THAT WAS JUST HERE, YOU SEE. 11 AND 12, THAT'S HIS PROPERTY RIGHT ACROSS THAT LITTLE STREET THERE IS WHERE THEY'RE WANTING TO PUT THAT.

AND HE'S TALKING ABOUT THE PARKING.

BUT THE MAJORITY OF THOSE AND NUMBER THREE IS A RESIDENTIAL WITH THE APPRAISAL DISTRICT.

AND LIKE I SAY, THE ONES I PULLED UP ALL ALONG, THEY'RE FOUR, THREE, TWO, ONE SIX.

I THINK THEY WERE RESIDENTS.

THEY MAY STILL HAVE A RESIDENCE ON THERE, BUT I THINK THE CITY HAS THEM ZONED AS DOWNTOWN DISTRICT, WHICH IS THEY KIND OF DO DOWNTOWN.

ISN'T THAT JUST THE SUBDIVISION BECAUSE IT'S THE CITY PART OR WHAT? BUT I CAN ONLY TELL YOU IT'S GOT EDINBURGH DOWNTOWN.

IT'S THE ZONING MAP THAT WE HAVE.

IT'S THE LEGAL DESCRIPTION ON ON FROM THE APPRAISAL DISTRICT.

AND THEN WHEN I LOOK UP THE ZONING, WHICH WAS.

HOLD ON, I'M SORRY. AT THE TOP, PROPERTY IMPROVEMENT AND EVERYTHING.

IT SAYS HIGH RESIDENTIAL LIVING AREA AND THINGS.

SO IT'S GOT ALL OF THAT.

SO I DON'T KNOW IF YOU NEED TO HAVE HER DRIVE BY OR SEE, BUT WE NEED TO MAKE SURE.

AND JUST BECAUSE I KNOW TONIGHT YOU SAID YOU GOT ONE THAT HAD 2 OR 3 ON THERE THAT SENT IT IN. A LOT OF TIMES PEOPLE DON'T REALIZE WHAT THOSE PAPERS ARE FOR OTHER THAN TO SAY THEY WERE AGAINST IT. SO A LOT OF TIMES PEOPLE DON'T GET THEM.

SO BUT THIS ONE IT SHOWS WITH THE APPRAISAL DISTRICT.

THAT IS A RESIDENTIAL.

THANK YOU MA'AM. THANK YOU MA'AM. THANK YOU. I'LL GO AHEAD AND CLOSE THE FLOOR AT THIS TIME. I'D LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE BASED ON STAFF'S RECOMMENDATION.

YES. SO I DID LOOK UP ON THE GOOGLE MAPS AREA TO SEE THE SURROUNDING USES.

IT'S POPPING UP AS A GLOW SPA, SO IT APPEARS THAT THERE IS A BUSINESS ON THERE. I'M NOT SURE IF IT'S STILL ACTIVE, BUT IT HAS THE COMMERCIAL NEIGHBORHOOD ZONING DESIGNATION BECAUSE IT STILL HAS THE APPEARANCE OF A HOME.

YEAH, SO IT'S A POSSIBILITY THAT IT COULD BE HAVE CLOSED DOWN, BUT THAT WAS CURRENTLY A BUSINESS APP AT THE TIME THAT GOOGLE MAPS PICKED IT UP.

UNDERSTOOD. I HAD A MOTION A MOTION MOTION TO APPROVE BASED ON STAFF'S RECOMMENDATION.

WE HAVE A MOTION TO APPROVE. SECOND, HAVE A SECOND IN FAVOR.

PLEASE RAISE YOUR RIGHT HAND. OPPOSED? SAME SIGN. MOTION CARRIES.

[E. Consider the Rezoning Request from Agriculture and Open Space (AO) District to Residential,]

STAFF. YES, SIR. SO THIS PROPERTY IS LOCATED ALONG CRISTOBAL DRIVE.

AGAIN, THIS PROPERTY IS CURRENTLY ZONED AGRICULTURAL OPEN SPACE.

WE DID BRING THIS PROPERTY INSIDE THE CITY LIMITS IN MARCH OF 2015.

SO STATE REQUIREMENTS REQUIRES THAT WE GO LOWEST ZONING ZONING DESIGNATION.

IN OUR SCENARIO, IT'S AGRICULTURAL OPEN SPACE.

THEY'RE WANTING TO BUILD A SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL HOME ON THIS PROPERTY. BUT IN ORDER FOR THEM TO MEET COMPLIANCE WITH THE SETBACKS AND THE LOT USAGE,

[00:40:03]

SO STAFF DID MAIL NOTICE TO 36 NEIGHBORING PROPERTY OWNERS, AND WE DID NOT RECEIVE NO COMMENTS IN FAVOR OR AGAINST THIS REQUEST AT THE TIME OF THE REPORT. STAFF DOES RECOMMEND APPROVAL AS IT IS FOLLOWING WHAT IS IN THE SURROUNDING AREAS OF RESIDENTIAL PRIMARY FOR SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL HOMES. EXCUSE ME.

THANK YOU. AT THIS TIME, I'D LIKE TO OPEN THE FLOOR FOR ANY PUBLIC COMMENTS ON THIS ITEM. NO COMMENTS.

I'M GOING TO CLOSE THE FLOOR. COMMISSIONER. MOVE TO APPROVE. SECOND.

ANY FAVOR? PLEASE RAISE YOUR RIGHT HAND. OPPOSED?

[F. Consider the Rezoning Request from Residential, Primary (RP) District to Residential, Urban &]

ITEM EIGHT F. WE'RE GOING TO CONSIDER THE REZONING REQUEST FROM RESIDENTIAL PRIMARY DISTRICT TO RESIDENTIAL, URBAN AND TOWNHOME DISTRICT BEING 39.334 ACRES OUT OF LOT FIVE SIX AND 248 TEXAS MEXICAN RAILWAY COMPANY SURVEY LOCATED AT 3200 NORTH M ROAD. YES, SIR.

SO THIS PROPERTY IS LOCATED AT THE NORTHEAST CORNER OF EAST ROGERS ROAD AND NORTH M ROAD.

THE PROPERTY HAS A TOTAL FRONTAGE OF 1300FT ALONG EAST ROGERS AND 1320FT ALONG NORTH M ROAD, FOR A TOTAL OF 39.33 ACRES.

REQUESTED ZONING DESIGNATION IS FOR RESIDENTIAL, URBAN AND TOWNHOME, WHICH IS THE HIGHEST INTENSITY SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL DISTRICT.

THE PROPERTY IS CURRENTLY UNDERGOING THE SUBDIVISION PROCESS UNDER THE NAME OF SORRENTO ESTATES, WHICH CURRENTLY CONSISTS OF 204 LOTS FOR TOWNHOMES.

ADJACENT ZONING DESIGNATIONS IS RESIDENTIAL PRIMARY TO THE NORTH, AGRICULTURAL DISTRICT TO THE WEST, AND RESIDENTIAL MANUFACTURED HOME DISTRICT TO THE EAST, AND RESIDENTIAL SUBURBAN DISTRICT TO THE SOUTH.

THE FUTURE LAND USE DESIGNATION FOR THIS PROPERTY IS AUTO URBAN USES.

STAFF DID MAIL NOTICE OF THE PUBLIC HEARING TO 103 NEIGHBORING PROPERTY OWNERS AT THE TIME OF THE REQUEST, AND WE DID NOT RECEIVE ANY COMMENTS IN FAVOR OR AGAINST.

AT THE TIME, STAFF DOES RECOMMEND APPROVAL OF THE REZONING REQUEST FROM RESIDENTIAL PRIMARY DISTRICT TO RESIDENTIAL, URBAN AND TOWNHOME.

THANK YOU. WILL THEY BE ABLE TO PUT MULTIFAMILY FOURPLEXES ON THIS? NO, SIR. NO, NO. IF THEY WANTED TO MULTIFAMILY FOR MULTIPLEX, FOR DUPLEX OR ANYTHING, THEY WOULD HAVE TO GO FOR RESIDENTIAL MULTIFAMILY FOR THIS. IT'S RESIDENTIAL, URBAN AND TOWNHOME.

HOW BIG ARE THESE LOTS. I CAN'T READ THAT.

DO YOU KNOW. SO THE MINIMUM LOT WIDTH FOR RESIDENTIAL, URBAN AND TOWNHOME IS 40FT WIDE.

THAT'S THE MINIMUM LOT WIDTH. AND THEN THE MINIMUM LOT AREA IS 4000FT².

THESE ARE TOWNHOMES THAT WOULD BE TOUCHING EACH OTHER.

WELL THERE ARE SOME CERTAIN SETBACKS THAT REQUIRE FOR THE TOWNHOMES.

WE HAVE THE TEN FEET IN THE FRONT THE SIX FEET ON THE SIDES, TEN FEET IN THE REAR. IF THEY WERE TO GET ANY CLOSER ON THE SIDES, THEY WOULD HAVE TO FIRE RATE, GET APPROVAL FROM THE FIRE MARSHAL. BUT ALL OF THAT WILL BE LOOKED AT DURING THE BUILDING PERMIT PHASE. ON THIS PROPOSED PLAN, THOUGH, I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE THEY'RE NOT TRYING TO DO IT AS MULTIFAMILY.

ARE THOSE LOTS? CAN YOU BLOW THAT UP TO SEE HOW BIG WE COULD SEE THAT? YEAH. CAN WE SEE THE SIZES OF THEM? YEAH, SURE.

IT'S HIGH DENSITY. I'M JUST WONDERING IF IT'S SIMILAR SIZE TO THE DEVELOPMENT ON RAMPS THERE IS THAT I THINK THAT'S TO THE NORTH OF IT.

RIGHT, VICTOR? YES. IT'S.

YEAH, THIS IS THIS ONE IS NORTH OF IT.

NO, THIS WOULD BE TO THE SOUTH OF IT.

THE SOUTH OF THIS IS SOUTH OF IT. YEAH.

YEAH. THE LOT WIDTH IS NOT REALLY THAT GREAT.

THE IT'S NOT POPPING UP.

SO. BUT THESE WOULD BE SMALLER LOTS.

THEY WOULDN'T BECAUSE THE MINIMUM IS 50. RIGHT.

MINIMUM LOT WIDTH FOR RESIDENTIAL URBAN AND TOWNHOME IS 4040.

MINIMUM LOT AREA IS 4000.

BUT FOR SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL IT'S 50.

OH THERE YOU GO. ALL RIGHT.

I'LL GO AHEAD AND OPEN THE FLOOR FOR PUBLIC COMMENTS. ENGINEER.

BOARD MEMBERS. GOOD AFTERNOON. I'M MELANIE HUNT.

SO THE MINIMUM LOT SIZE THAT WE HAVE HERE IS 5000FT², WHICH IS TYPICALLY 50 BY 100, WHICH IS USUALLY WHAT WE SEE FOR SINGLE SINGLE FAMILY HOUSES. THIS ONE IS SINGLE FAMILY HOUSES ACTUALLY.

SO THAT'S JUST 5000FT².

SO MOST OF THE LOTS ARE 50 BY 100, WHICH IS TYPICAL.

IT'S NOT TOWNHOMES. IT'S IT'S THE ZONING RESIDENTIAL, URBAN AND TOWNHOMES, WHICH ALLOWS FOR 2500 SQUARE FOOT LOTS.

IF YOU CAN DO TOWNHOMES, THE ONES THAT ARE BACK TO BACK OR 4000 SQUARE FOOT LOTS OR BIGGER IF YOU'RE GOING TO DO SMALLER HOMES.

OKAY, SO ON THE UDC WE WENT DOWN.

BUT YOU'RE NOT DOING ANY FOR THIS PARTICULAR ZONING.

WE STILL HAVE THE RESIDENTIAL PRIMARY AT 6000.

WHY DIDN'T YOU GO RESIDENTIAL PRIMARY? I WILL HAVE TO CHECK WITH MY ENGINEER, BUT AT THIS POINT. BUT YOU'RE DOING SINGLE FAMILY HOMES. YEAH. AT THIS POINT, YEAH, THAT'S WHAT WE'RE PRESENTING. AND

[00:45:01]

BUT IT'S 5100. MOST OF THE LOTS INTERIOR LOTS IN THE MIDDLE AND THE MIDDLE BLOCKS ARE 5100.

GOOD SIZE. I THINK THAT THEY IT IS THAT THE RESIDENTIAL PRIMARY SETBACKS ARE 2020 AND SIX AND RESIDENTIAL URBAN AND TOWNHOME SETBACKS ARE TEN TEN AND SIX AND TEN AND SIX.

SO IT ALLOWS FOR A LITTLE BIT MORE BUILDABLE. CAN YOU TELL ME HOW WIDE ARE THESE LOTS? 50 BY 100. SO THEY'RE 50 FOOT WIDE.

LOTS. SO YOU COULD HAVE APPLIED FOR PRIMARY RESIDENCE.

YOU NEED 60. THAT'S WHY WE'RE DOING IT.

I GET IT NOW. AND THE SMALLER SETBACKS AND THE SMALLER SETBACKS OR DENSE? MORE DENSE. MORE DENSE EVEN.

YEAH. TOO EXPENSIVE. AND THIS IS ALLOWED BY STAFF? YEAH. ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU SIR.

THANK YOU. ANYBODY ELSE WISH TO SPEAK ON THIS ITEM? HELLO. MY NAME IS JAIME OLVERA.

I LIVE JUST WITHIN THE 300FT FROM THERE.

OUR CONCERN WITH ME AND MY NEIGHBORS, WE WERE TALKING ABOUT THE STREETS, ESPECIALLY THE ROAD THAT IS NEXT TO THE.

THE AREA WHERE THEY'RE GOING TO BUILD THOSE TOWNHOMES OR HOUSES.

NOW THAT I'M SEEING THAT, IT'S GOING TO BE A LOT OF HOUSES.

I MEAN, I'M CONCERNED ABOUT THE TRAFFIC, ESPECIALLY ON THAT ROAD AND ROGERS.

AND IN THE PAST TWO YEARS, WE'VE SEEN, I MEAN, A FEW ACCIDENTS, ESPECIALLY IN THE MORNING WHENEVER WE GO TO DROP OFF THE KIDS TO SCHOOL. AND THAT'S ONE OF THE MAIN THINGS THAT WE WANT TO ADDRESS ABOUT TRAFFIC.

I MEAN, WE'RE I KNOW THE CITY IS GROWING, BUT I HAVEN'T SEEN THAT.

LIKE THEY'RE MAKING THE STREETS WIDER OR MAKING ANY CHANGES, ESPECIALLY ON TRAFFIC.

YEAH. WELL, DURING THE DEVELOPMENT PROCESS IT IS GOING TO PROBABLY BE A REQUIREMENT FROM ENGINEERING THAT THEY WILL PROBABLY HAVE TO WIDEN THE ROAD.

YEAH. FROM WITH. YEAH, FROM I THINK RIGHT NOW THEY'RE WORKING ON A STOPLIGHT ON M ROAD AND M ROAD ALL THE WAY TO THE END OF THE DEVELOPMENT.

YEAH. JUST TO MEET THE REQUIREMENT.

YEAH. OR AT LEAST TO FROM MONTE CRISTO ALL THE WAY TO 17.5 BECAUSE THEY'RE MAKING ANOTHER DEVELOPMENT ON THE CORNER ACROSS THE ELEMENTARY SCHOOL.

SO IT'S. YEAH, WE NOTICED IT THIS YEAR WHEN WHENEVER WE WENT TO DROP OFF THE KIDS.

I MEAN, IT WAS A LOT OF TRAFFIC, A LOT OF TRAFFIC AND A LOT OF ACCIDENTS.

YEAH. WELL, AND AGAIN, THE DEVELOPER WAS ONLY RESPONSIBLE FOR THE PROPERTY THAT IT FRONTS.

YEAH. SO TO ANSWER YOUR QUESTION, WHETHER IT'S GOING TO BE WIDENED FROM A CERTAIN POINT TO POINT, I COULDN'T TELL YOU THAT.

BUT ANOTHER CONCERN IS ABOUT STORM DRAINS, BECAUSE WHENEVER IT RAINS, I MEAN A LOT OF WATER.

WELL, YEAH, THAT'S ALSO A REQUIREMENT BY ENGINEERING THAT THE DEVELOPER WILL HAVE TO MEET TO MAKE SURE THERE'S MORE.

THERE'S PROPER DRAINAGE AND ALL THAT TO MEET THE REQUIREMENTS OF THE DEVELOPMENT.

IF YOU DON'T MIND, COULD YOU TELL US WHERE DO YOU LIVE ON THIS MAP? I LIVE ON THE NORTH SIDE, ON THE FIRST STREET.

ON THE NORTH SIDE. IS IT. DO YOU KNOW WHAT STREET IT IS? IT'S DESERT DIAMOND. IT'S GOING TO BE THE FIRST ONE.

BACK. SO, YEAH. LOT A.

DOWN RIGHT THERE. LOT EIGHT.

OKAY. YEAH. IT'S A BIG SUBDIVISION.

YEAH. I MEAN, OUR LOTS.

RITA, WOULD IT REQUIRE WIDENING OF OF BOTH ROADS? M ROAD AND N ROGERS? YES.

YES, SIR. SO DURING SUBDIVISION PHASE, IT WOULD BE A REQUIREMENT THAT THEY WIDEN M ROAD AND ROGERS ROAD. OR THEY CAN ESCROW FOR.

BUT IT WOULD BE THEIR PORTION WHERE THEY'RE GOING TO BE DEDICATING AS WELL. WE ALSO HAVE OUR TRAFFIC ENGINEER HERE AS WELL. IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS FOR HER. OKAY. MAYBE HE CAN. DID YOU HAVE ANY DO YOU WANT TO LISTEN TO WHAT SHE HAS TO SAY ON THE TRAFFIC, SIR, SO THAT YOU CAN KIND OF GET AN IDEA? YEAH, BECAUSE RIGHT NOW, I MEAN, THEY JUST HAVE A BLINKING LIGHT, BUT IT'S NOT WORKING FOR THE CURRENT TRAFFIC THAT WE HAVE RIGHT NOW.

OKAY. NO PROBLEM SIR. SO AS PART OF THE SUBDIVISION, WE WILL REQUIRE A TRAFFIC A WORKSHEET WHICH WILL MOST LIKELY REQUIRE A TRAFFIC IMPACT ANALYSIS. AND SINCE THEY'RE RIGHT ON THE INTERSECTION AND IT ALREADY HAS A BLINKING LIGHT, WILL MOST LIKELY REQUIRE A SIGNAL WARRANT AND THEN HOPEFULLY PARTICIPATION FOR THE INSTALLATION OF A SIGNAL TRAFFIC SIGNAL.

I'M JUST ASSUMING THAT THAT WOULD PROBABLY BE FROM THE TRAFFIC IMPACT ANALYSIS.

JUST FROM OBSERVATION.

PARTICIPATION FROM WHOM? FROM THE DEVELOPER. TYPICALLY WHEN YOU HAVE A BIG DEVELOPMENT LIKE LIKE A WALMART OR A BIG SUBDIVISION, IT'S INCUMBENT ON THE DEVELOPER TO INSTALL THE TRAFFIC SIGNAL IF PRIOR

[00:50:03]

AND SO IF EXISTING TRAFFIC DOESN'T REQUIRE TRAFFIC SIGNAL, BUT THEN THEY'RE ADDING THE ADDITIONAL TRAFFIC THAT WILL THEN TRIGGER THE SIGNAL.

AND THAT'S WHAT WE'LL ASK FOR AS A AS PART OF THE STUDY AND THE TRAFFIC IMPACT ANALYSIS.

AND THAT'S SOMETHING THAT HAPPENS DURING THE SUBDIVISION REVIEW PROCESS.

AND YOU CAN REQUIRE THE DEVELOPER TO INSTALL A TRAFFIC LIGHT.

WE HAVEN'T YET I MEAN, WE'VE ASKED, BUT OF COURSE I'VE NEVER SEEN THAT. THAT'S WHY. WELL NO.

SO IT I DON'T IT'S A GOOD IDEA.

SO IN THE CITY OF EDINBURGH, WE JUST STARTED WITH OUR TEAS AND BEING A LITTLE BIT MORE STRINGENT ON, ON THOSE REQUIREMENTS. AND BUT OTHER CITIES DO REQUIRE THE DEVELOPMENTS TO PUT IN THE SIGNALS.

I SUPPORT THAT AND I SUPPORT YOU THAT, THAT SOMETHING DEVELOPERS SHOULD, SHOULD, SHOULD BE REQUIRED TO.

AND I'M A DEVELOPER. SO IT'S IT'S A GOOD THING.

YEAH. I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW HOW MANY LOTS IS IT.

HOW MANY LOTS IS IT. LOTS OF 204.

WE HAD 204, 204 NEW HOUSES, SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL LOTS.

YES, 50 BY 100. SO HAVE THEY COMMITTED ANYTHING ON THE ON THE WIDENING OF THOSE ROADS? WELL, RIGHT NOW IT'S STILL GOING THROUGH THE SUBDIVISION PHASE. SO PRIOR TO ANY RECORDING OR FINALIZING OF THE PLAT, IT WOULD BE EITHER THEY WOULD HAVE TO DEDICATE IT FOR SURE DURING THE SUBDIVISION PORTION.

YEAH. SO UNLESS THEY'RE GOING TO WIDEN IT OR THEY'RE GOING TO ESCROW IT. THAT GOES INTO CONSIDERATION WHEN WE'RE FINALIZING FOR REPORTING ON THE PROPOSED PLAT.

THEY'RE ALREADY GIVING UP THE ADDITIONAL RIGHT OF WAY. SO IT'S ABOUT 229 PROPOSED LOTS, AS LONG AS THEY DON'T ASK FOR A VARIANCE.

ELIAS, OR, YOU KNOW, THROUGH THE SUBDIVISION PROCESS, YOU HAVE TO GIVE, YOU KNOW, IT'S PART OF THE PROCESS TO GIVE THE RIGHT OF WAY. AND THEN YOU HAVE TO EITHER BUILD IT, WIDEN IT, OR ESCROW. YEAH, RIGHT.

YOU KNOW, IS THERE ANYBODY ELSE THAT WANTED TO SPEAK ON THIS ITEM? OH, GOOD. I'LL GO AHEAD AND CLOSE THE FLOOR COMMISSION. I WOULD LIKE TO MAKE JUST ONE COMMENT FOR STAFF. YOU KNOW, SINCE WE'RE UP HERE HAVING TO MAKE THESE, THESE DECISIONS I DO HAVE A LITTLE BIT OF HEARTBURN ABOUT THE APPLICATION.

IF YOU LOOK AT THE APPLICATION, WHICH IS CONTRARY TO THE GENTLEMAN FROM MELVIN HUNT THAT WAS SIGNED BY MARIO REYNA.

IF YOU LOOK WHAT IT SAYS, WHICH I JUST DON'T LIKE BEING LIED TO.

AND I KNOW MARIO. DO YOU HAVE THE APPLICATION READER? COULD YOU? YES. COULD YOU PUT IT UP FOR EVERYBODY TO SEE? AND JUST FOR THE RECORD, SO THAT EVERYBODY SEES IT, IT DOES SAY TOWNHOME DEVELOPMENT, REASON FOR ZONE CHANGE, TOWNHOME DEVELOPMENTS.

AND FROM MY UNDERSTANDING FROM THE ENGINEER THEY'RE NOT PUTTING IN TOWNHOMES. CORRECT? CORRECT. YOU'RE GOING TO BE SINGLE FAMILY TOWNHOMES ARE CONSIDERED SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL. YES. SO THE URBAN PART ABOUT IT IS THE DENSITY.

SO THE RESIDENTIAL URBAN IS THE DENSITY.

AND THEN THE TOWNHOMES ARE ALLOWED WITHIN THAT AREA.

BUT THEN THAT'S ONLY. WELL IS THIS CORRECTED.

THAT'S NOT CORRECT. TOWNHOMES SHOULD NOT BE.

THERE CAN BE EITHER OR EITHER OR.

IT'S EITHER OR RIGHT. YES.

YOU COULD DO RESIDENTIAL PRIMARY OR YOU CAN DO RESIDENTIAL TOWNHOME.

IT'S NOT A MIS A MISQUOTE.

IT'S I MEAN IT SHOULD IT SHOULD HAVE SAID THAT RIGHT.

SO I THINK EVERY DEVELOPER FROM NOW ON IS GOING TO BE ASKING FOR THIS TYPE OF ZONING BECAUSE IT'S 5000 SQUARE FOOT LOTS VERSUS 6000 SQUARE FOOT LOTS.

YEAH. YEAH. OKAY. ALL RIGHT.

GOTCHA. I'LL GO AHEAD AND CLOSE THE FLOOR COMMISSION.

I'LL MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE BASED ON STAFF'S RECOMMENDATION.

SECOND. ALL IN FAVOR, PLEASE RAISE YOUR RIGHT HAND.

OPPOSED? SAME SIGN. MOTION CARRIES.

HOW OFTEN DO DO WE REVIEW THE PERMITS? IS IT JUST ONCE A YEAR? YES. SO WE BRING IT THE FIRST TIME WE BRING IT UP FOR RENEWAL.

THAT'S WHEN WE ALSO GO BACK AND LOOK AT THE POLICE REPORT, SEE IF WE HAVE ANY CONCERNS OR ANYTHING. AND THEN THAT'S AFTER THE SECOND TIME THAT WE BRING IT BACK.

[10. INFORMATION ONLY]

BUT STARTING NEXT MONTH, IN AUGUST, WE'RE GOING TO BE HAVING TWO MEETINGS JUST LIKE THE CITY COUNCIL HAS.

SO WE'LL MEET ON THE TUESDAY THAT CITY COUNCIL DOESN'T MEET.

SO IT'LL BE SECOND AND THE FOURTH TUESDAY OF THE MONTH.

I ALSO WANTED TO REQUEST TO SEE IF IT'S POSSIBLE TO HAVE A MEETING ON JULY THE 23RD.

THAT WOULD BE IN IN TWO WEEKS FROM NOW.

IT'LL BE A SPECIAL MEETING JUST FOR TWO ITEMS THAT ARE KIND OF PRESSING ITEMS. AND THEN THEY WOULD BE PRESENTED TO CITY COUNCIL ON AUGUST THE 7TH.

SO IT'S GOING TO BE AN EVENING MEETING LIKE THIS.

SO SINCE IT'S ONLY TWO ITEMS, I WAS THINKING OF DOING A LUNCH MEETING AND PROVIDING I HAVE ANOTHER.

I HAVE A I HAVE A 145 THAT DAY, SO I MAY NOT BE ABLE TO MAKE THAT THE 23RD.

JULY 23RD. NO, NO, I THINK IT'S GOOD YOU DO.

THIS IS. FROM NOW ON. IT WILL BE TWO MEETINGS A MONTH GOING FORWARD BY 145.

ALWAYS AT THE SAME TIME.

DID I, DID I MISS THE MEMO? THIS WOULD BE ABLE TO MEET.

THIS IS BREAKING NEWS.

THIS IS BREAKING NEWS. YEAH. WE HAD A MEETING WITH THE CITY COUNCIL TO DISCUSS THE BUDGET.

DID YOU KNOW ABOUT THIS? YES, I DID.

THAT'S FINE. VICTOR, ONE OF THE THINGS THAT THAT THAT OTHER CITIES DO MCALLEN, PHARR MISSION, THEY ALL HAVE TWO MEETINGS.

I DON'T THINK IT'S A BAD THING.

IT JUST MAKES THINGS FASTER FOR THE APPLICANTS. INSTEAD OF HAVING THEM TO WAIT SIX WEEKS, THEY MIGHT HAVE TO WAIT FOUR WEEKS. I WAS JUST BLINDSIDED. I'M OKAY WITH IT, YOU KNOW? AND AS THE CITY GROWS, I THINK THIS IS A PROPER STEP.

AND I THINK WHAT IT'S GOING TO MEAN, INSTEAD OF HAVING MEETINGS AT LEAST AN HOUR AND A HALF, IT'LL BE MAYBE 45 MINUTES.

SO IT'LL BE SHORTER MEETINGS. I'M OKAY WITH IT.

WE MAY MISS MORE JUST, YOU KNOW.

RIGHT. AND THAT'S UNDERSTOOD.

I MEAN, AS LONG AS WE HAVE A QUORUM.

YEAH, AS LONG AS WE GET A QUORUM, MAYBE WE COULD HAVE ALTERNATES SINCE IT IS GOING TO BE MORE MEETINGS.

SORRY TO PUT YOU ON THE SPOT. HE SAYS, HEY, MAN, I'M OUT OF HERE. YEAH.

GIVE ME THOSE CURVEBALLS.

YEAH. AT THE AT. AT THIS POINT, YOU CAN'T.

THE CITY COUNCIL WOULD HAVE TO CHANGE ORDINANCES TO DO THAT.

GOT IT. THANK YOU. BUT ADDING THE MEETING IS OKAY WITH STATE LAW, RIGHT? YEAH. YEAH. THAT DOESN'T GET YOU OUT OF IT.

SORRY. YOU CAN FORCE US TO COME TWICE.

YEAH, I JUST THOUGHT I'D ASK. THAT'S ALL I HAVE, THOUGH. I THINK WE COULD ADJOURN THE MEETING.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH. THANK YOU.

DINNER IS PROVIDED IN THE BACK.
