[00:13:02]

[00:13:05]

IS IT OKAY IF THEY COME ALONG? THEY'RE. THEY'RE LIKE NEIGHBORS. THAT'S FINE, MA'AM. JUST AS LONG AS IF ANYBODY'S GOING TO SPEAK.

JUST. THEY GOT TO STATE THEIR NAME. ON PUBLIC RECORD.

YES. I'M GOING TO SPEAK, AND THEN I'M. GOING TO PROVE WHATEVER YOU SAID. OKAY. THEY WANT TO STAND HERE FOR MORE SUPPORT.

IT JUST SO HAPPENS I DON'T KNOW THEM. AND THEY WERE JUST.

OKAY. WE WERE HERE FOR THE SAME REASON.

JUST STATE YOUR NAME. MY NAME IS ADA VASQUEZ, AND I ACTUALLY LIVE. I'M SORRY IF YOU CAN GET THAT MAP.

I LIVE. RIGHT HERE. AND SO I THINK THEY LIVE EITHER RIGHT HERE OR RIGHT HERE.

I'M NOT SURE. CAN WE SEE THE AERIAL ONE? THE WHAT? THANK YOU. CAN WE MAKE THAT BIGGER? YEAH. YEAH. THANK YOU.

YES. THE GOATS. THE GOATS? YES. I THINK YOU SAID THIS ONE.

THIS IS THE. I DONE THIS RIGHT.

OKAY. SO I LIVE RIGHT HERE.

OH, SORRY. TECHNICAL DIFFICULTIES.

ALL RIGHT. SO I LIVE RIGHT HERE.

AND THEY LIVE IN THIS AREA RIGHT HERE.

SO I GUESS THIS IS KIND OF THE THE PIECE WHERE THEY NEEDED TO KNOW.

NOW, I DIDN'T I WAS NOT ABLE TO SEND THIS BECAUSE I DIDN'T SEE IT ON TIME.

AND SO I DECIDED TO COME IN PERSON.

I WAS HERE ON OCTOBER 24TH FOR THE SAME REASON.

IT IS SO PACKED. IT IS SO OLD.

I HAVE LIVED THERE FOR OVER 40 YEARS.

NOT IN THAT PROPERTY, BUT ACROSS THE STREET.

AND SO WE BOUGHT THERE THIS PROPERTY ABOUT 2 OR 3 YEARS AGO.

AND THE PLUMBING IS BAD.

THE SEWER, LIKE THE SMELL OF ALL OF A SUDDEN IS JUST YOU'RE OUTSIDE, YOU'RE ENJOYING, AND THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN YOU IT SMELLS LIKE REALLY LIKE SEWER LITERALLY.

BECAUSE IT'S NOT SET UP FOR WE HAVE RIGHT HERE THERE'S A WHOLE BUNCH OF APARTMENTS AND

[00:15:03]

AND SO AS SOON AS THEY AS SOON AS THEY BUILT THIS ONE, WITHIN A COUPLE OF MONTHS, IT STARTED AS SOON AS THEY WERE DONE, WITHIN A COUPLE OF MONTHS, IT RAINED. AND THERE'S A HOUSE, ONE OF MY NEIGHBORS RIGHT HERE THAT HER HOUSE HAD NEVER, EVER, EVER GOTTEN FLOODED.

I MEAN, LIKE WE HAD HAD FLOODING, RIGHT? AND LIKE, LIKE IN MY HOUSE, IT'S LIKE A FRAME HOME WHERE WE USED TO LIVE.

IT WAS A FRAME HOME. SO IT WAS LIFTED AND THE WATER WOULD NEVER GET IN.

IT WOULD ALWAYS BE LIKE RIGHT AT THE BOTTOM. WELL, THIS TIME IT WENT IN.

HER HOUSE WAS ALWAYS SO HIGH THAT IT WOULDN'T GO IN.

IT WENT IN JUST A COUPLE MONTHS AFTER THEM.

SO AFTER I'VE BEEN HERE IN OCTOBER, I'VE BEEN GETTING A LOT OF THOSE THAT THE CITY SENDS. THERE'S LOTS OF LOTS OF, LIKE, SEWER SEWER LIKE CLOGGING, LIKE DOWN THE ROAD AND RIGHT DOWN THE STREET, LIKE, IT'S NOT EVERY EVERYONE KEEPS BUILDING AND THEY MAKE THE RETENTION WALLS AND THEY MAKE THIS AND THEY MAKE THAT, AND THAT'S PERFECT FOR THEM.

BUT THE REST OF US HAVE OLD, OLD PLUMBING THERE.

NICE, PRETTY PLUMBERS, PLUMBING THAT IS, YOU KNOW, WIDE AND FOR WHATEVER ALL THE NEW RULES ARE, GOES INTO OUR OLD ONE AND IT GOES RIGHT INTO OURS. AND THEN IT BACKS UP IN MY HOUSE PERSONALLY, WHEN IT HAS RAINED BECAUSE OF THE FLOODING, IT HAS LIKE THE LIKE BLACK WATER COMES OUT AND I HAVE TO CALL LIKE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT, HEY, I CAN'T USE, I CAN'T USE THE RESTROOM, I CAN'T USE THE WATER, I CAN'T TURN ON THE FAUCETS BECAUSE EVERYTHING COMES RIGHT BACK UP. SO.

YES, EXACTLY. AND SO THIS IS ALREADY HAPPENING.

SO THEY WANT TO PUT GOD KNOWS HOW MANY MORE APARTMENTS IN THERE.

AND YES, THEY'RE GOING TO GET ALL NEW PLUMBING, BUT IT'S GOING TO COME RIGHT BACK OUT INTO OUR OLD PLUMBING.

AND UNFORTUNATELY, THERE'S NOTHING THAT WE CAN DO ABOUT, YOU KNOW, IT'S GOING TO AFFECT THEM. IT'S GOING TO AFFECT THE REST OF US. AND UNFORTUNATELY, WHATEVER HAPPENS TO US WAS IS NOT THEIR FAULT, BUT IT IS GOING TO AFFECT US IF THEY PUT THE 40, 50 APARTMENTS IN THERE.

NOT ONLY THAT, BUT THEY WERE HERE BECAUSE OF THE TRAFFIC. THE TRAFFIC IS HORRIBLE. I MEAN, RIGHT NOW AT 5:00, IT TOOK ME TEN MINUTES TO GET OUT OF MY HOUSE.

AND BECAUSE I LIVE RIGHT ON TAPPAN, SO THE TAPPAN AND THE TRAFFIC THERE IS HORRIBLE. AND THERE'S A LIGHT.

THAT LIGHT TAKES FOREVER JUST TO GET OUT OF MY HOUSE AND INTO THE ROAD.

IT TOOK ME LIKE TEN MINUTES.

IT TOOK ME ANOTHER TEN MINUTES. AND IT'S ONLY FIVE HOUSES.

SO LIKE MAYBE ABOUT 600FT TO GET TO THE LIGHT.

SO IT'S HORRIBLE TO GET OUT OF THERE WITH THAT TRAFFIC. AND THAT'S WHY THEY WERE HERE? BECAUSE OF THE TRAFFIC, BUT BECAUSE THEY HAVE NEWER PLUMBING.

THE PLUMBING IS NOT SO MUCH THEIR PROBLEM, BUT ALL THE REST OF US THAT HAVE LIVED HERE FOR YEARS, BECAUSE ALL OF THIS RIGHT HERE IS HOUSING.

THEY'RE ALL HOUSES. THEY HAVE THE ALL OF THESE HOUSES.

MR. CHAIRMAN, I DO APOLOGIZE.

THE THREE MINUTE TIME LIMIT IS UP. OKAY.

THANK YOU. I'VE GOT A QUESTION, I GUESS.

THANK YOU FOR COMING UP. COMING UP HERE AND VOICING YOUR CONCERN.

WE REALLY APPRECIATE THE PUBLIC GIVING THEIR INPUT.

I GOT A QUESTION FOR STAFF.

IS THIS THE ISSUE? I DON'T KNOW, PETER MAY KNOW OR JERRY MAY.

MAY KNOW. THERE WAS AN ISSUE, I GUESS, SOMEWHERE WEST OF 281 AND NORTH OF JUNIOR. THERE'S A SEWER ISSUE WHERE EVERYTHING GOES INTO ONE LIFT STATION AND IS SURGING. IS THAT IS THAT HER PROBLEM? NO, NO, OURS IS USUALLY ON THE OTHER SIDE.

IT'S A IT'S A IT'S A SEWER ISSUE THAT THE CITY IS HAVING CURRENTLY RIGHT NOW BECAUSE I'M OURS IS NOT CURRENT.

IT'S BEEN THE PAST THREE, FOUR YEARS.

OKAY. SORRY. SORRY TO PUT YOU ON THE SPOT.

NO. YOU'RE FINE. THIS IS PETER ALMEIDA, FOR THE RECORD.

NO. THEY'RE JUST. IT'S NOT.

IT'S NOT THIS. IT'S NOT THIS AREA.

IT'S NOT THIS AREA. NO.

OKAY. WHERE IS THAT 24 INCH PIPE THAT NEEDS TO BE UPGRADED? I'M NOT SURE IF WE SHOULD BE TALKING ABOUT THAT ASPECT OF THE WORK RIGHT NOW.

OKAY. WELL, I'M JUST CURIOUS.

THANK YOU THOUGH. BUT IT'S IT'S NOT ON OUR SIDE BECAUSE THERE'S NO THERE'S NOTHING IN THE WORKS. I'VE LOOKED I'VE CALLED, AND I ACTUALLY DID TRY TO GET A, LIKE, A LIST OF ALL THE, ALL THE, EVERY SINGLE TIME THAT THE, THE, THE CLICKS OR I DON'T KNOW WHAT IT'S CALLED THE LIKE WHEN THE CITY THEY LET YOU KNOW WHAT'S HAPPENING IN THE CITY THAT YOU CONNECT OR CLICK CONNECT OR SOMETHING. AND I JUST BECAUSE I'M A TEACHER LIKE RIGHT NOW I HAD TO LEAVE WORK EARLY. NOT EARLY, BUT YOU KNOW, WE STAY REALLY LATE. SO I HAD TO LEAVE WORK EARLY TO MAKE IT HERE ON TIME.

SO IT'S REALLY HARD FOR ME TO GET A LIST OF ALL THE TIMES THAT JUST FROM OCTOBER 24TH TO NOW, THERE'S BEEN PLUMBING ISSUES.

SO THE TRAFFIC, THE TRAFFIC AND THE SEWER. AND YOU SAID IT TAKES YOU TEN MINUTES JUST TO GET OUT OF YOUR DRIVEWAY, TO MY DRIVEWAY, TO GET ONTO THE ROAD.

IT'S THAT MUCH TRAFFIC BECAUSE AND THAT'S BECAUSE, LIKE I HAVE. IT'S LIKE AN ACRE AND A HALF OR ONE AND THREE QUARTERS.

AND SO I HAVE LIKE 150, 100FT IN THE FRONT WHERE I CAN LIKE, REVERSE AND GO UP TO THE FRONT.

SO I'M LITERALLY RIGHT HERE LIKE, YEAH, BUMPER TO BUMPER, TRYING TO GET INTO TRYING TO GET INTO THE BUMPER TO BUMPER BECAUSE WE HEAR THAT ON CHAPIN. WE HEAR THAT ON RUSSELL BY THE EXPRESSWAY. I THINK THAT THE CITY IS WELL AWARE OF OF THOSE ISSUES, BUT WE DO NEED TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT.

THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU MA'AM, IS THERE ANYBODY ELSE LIKE

[00:20:02]

PROVIDE YOUR NAME. GOOD AFTERNOON.

MY NAME IS DANIELLA HELLMUND.

I'M HERE TO SPEAK ON BEHALF OF THE PROPOSAL THAT WE'RE DOING.

THIS IS RUDY TREVINO. HE'S THE THE OWNER OF THE PROPERTY.

I BROUGHT THIS FOR YOU SEE? THERE YOU GO. RIGHT NOW I CAN'T SEE IT. DID YOU PICK IT UP? THANK YOU. OH, HOLD ON, I'LL HOLD ON.

YEAH. THERE YOU GO. THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

SO. I APOLOGIZE, MR. CHAIRMAN.

IF YOU COULD SPEAK INTO THE MIC SO WE CAN GET IT CLEARLY ON THE RECORD. YEAH, YEAH, YEAH, THAT'S BASICALLY THE FRONT OF THE PROPERTY.

WOULD STAY COMMERCIAL.

RIGHT NOW IT'S TREVINO'S RESTAURANT.

I DON'T KNOW IF YOU GUYS ARE FAMILIAR WITH IT.

TREVINO'S WOULD STAY THERE, AND THEN THE BACK PORTION OF THE PROPERTY IS WHAT WE ARE REQUESTING TO GET REZONED TO DO.

FOURPLEXES. WE KNOW WE WOULD HAVE TO DO IMPROVEMENTS AND WE WOULD WORK WITH THE CITY.

WE WOULD COMPLY ON EVERYTHING THAT THE CITY REGULARLY ASKS FOR, TO MAKE WHATEVER NEEDS TO BE DONE TO HAVE THE SEWER CORRECT THE SET, EVERYTHING THAT YOU USUALLY ASK FOR.

WE'RE NOT ASKING FOR ANYTHING LIKE NOT FOR A VARIANCE OR ANYTHING OUT OF CODE OR ANYTHING.

WE'RE JUST WANTING TO DEVELOP A TRACK OF LAND THAT'S BEEN IN THEIR FAMILY FOR A LONG TIME.

SO I UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU'RE SAYING HAS BEEN THERE FOR A VERY LONG TIME.

THEY KNOW THE AREA, THEY KNOW THE PROBLEMS. THEY DON'T WANT TO CAUSE MORE PROBLEMS. THEY HAVE THE RESTAURANT THERE.

IT'S A FAMILY BUSINESS.

THEY'RE ALWAYS THERE, UP THERE.

THEY WANT TO COMPLY WITH WHATEVER THE CITY IS ASKING.

WE HAVE TWO DETENTION PONDS.

WE HAVE THE ENGINEER HERE WHO'S TREVINO, WHO ALREADY DID CALCULATIONS FOR THE DETENTION PONDS THAT NEED TO BE THERE TO HELP OUT WITH THAT PRECISE PROBLEM.

WE HAVE TWO OF THEM ON THE PROPERTY.

I DON'T KNOW WHAT ELSE TO TO TELL YOU.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH, MA'AM. ARE YOU THE OWNER OF THE YES.

I AM THE PROPERTY OWNER, MA'AM. I APOLOGIZE.

THROUGH ALL THE WEST PORTION OF THE PROPERTY.

SO YOU'RE THE OWNER AND YOU'RE THE ENGINEER. ENGINEER OWNER? THE DESIGNER. THE ENGINEER.

ENGINEER. OKAY. YES. SO TO ANSWER YOUR QUESTION, THE TRAFFIC WILL BE GOING TO THE WEST SIDE OF THE PROPERTY. WE DON'T INTEND ON ADDING ANY MORE TRAFFIC TO CHAPIN.

AND YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE.

I THINK IT'S LIKE A WALL DIVIDING YOUR PARKING FROM TREVINO'S TO.

YES. THAT'S THAT IMAGE THERE.

IT'S GOING TO BE GATED COMMUNITY.

AND WE'RE GOING TO HAVE THAT PART PRIVATE.

AND YOU GUYS, AS A BUFFER, WE'RE ALSO DOING THE DETENTION PONDS BETWEEN THE COMMERCIAL AND THE, THE NEW PROPOSED RESIDENTIAL.

SO WE ALSO HAVE A BUFFER THERE IN TERMS OF SPACE, SOUND AND ALL OF THAT STUFF.

AND YOU GUYS ALREADY MET WITH STAFF AND THEY'RE STILL RECOMMENDING FOR DENIAL.

SO AT THIS TIME WE ARE RECOMMENDING DENIAL.

BUT IF IT IS APPROVED, THEY'LL STILL NEED TO COMPLY WITH ALL THE REQUIREMENTS. CORRECT.

AND IT'S BASICALLY JUST ON THE, ON THOSE BECAUSE JUST ON THE SURROUNDING ZONING. YES. IT'S A GOOD, GOOD COMMERCIAL.

SO THEY'RE ACTUALLY GOING DOWN A LEVEL IN ZONING.

RIGHT. GOING FROM COMMERCIAL TO MULTIFAMILY.

YES, THAT IS CORRECT. SOMETIMES HARD TO DO.

I LIKE THAT. LIKE, WELL, I UNDERSTAND WHAT THE CITY IS SAYING ABOUT THE SURROUNDINGS, BUT IF YOU TAKE A LOOK OF THAT AERIAL, THE BACK. WHAT WHAT'S ON THE BACK OF THE PROPERTY IS, WELL, RESIDENTIAL. YOU'RE SAYING SOUTH OF THE PROPERTY OR EAST OF THE PROPERTY? NO. SOUTH OF IT? YEAH, BUT I THINK IN THE SOUTHEAST.

YEAH. AND I THINK ALL OF THAT EVENTUALLY WOULD BE COMMERCIAL, WOULDN'T THAT. I'M SORRY.

WHICH SECTION? I THINK THEY'RE REFERENCING THE PORTION TO THE EAST OF IT THAT IS ALL CURRENTLY SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL.

OH, CORRECT. THAT'S ON CHAPIN. AND AND OUR PROPOSED RESIDENTIAL MULTIFAMILY WOULD BE THIS PART WHICH IS BASICALLY ADJACENT TO ALL OF THIS.

BUT YOUR OUTLET IS IS IS BUSINESS 281 CORRECT.

THAT'S YOUR INGRESS AND EGRESS.

CORRECT. SO YOU'RE ON BUSINESS 281.

AND THE REZONING REQUEST FROM RESIDENTIAL PRIMARY DISTRICT TO RESIDENTIAL MULTIFAMILY DISTRICT. LOT 19, UNIVERSITY NORTH SUBDIVISION UNIT ONE, LOCATED AT 811 WEST JUNIOR STAFF.

SO THIS PROPERTY IS LOCATED ON THE NORTHWEST INTERSECTION OF NORTH FIFTH AVENUE AND WEST JUNIOR STREET. THIS LOT IS PART OF THE UNIVERSITY NORTH SUBDIVISION UNIT ONE THAT WAS RECORDED BACK IN 1973.

THE PROPERTY HAS A TOTAL FRONTAGE OF 60FT ALONG WEST JUNIOR STREET AND A DEPTH OF 140FT, FOR A TOTAL LOT AREA OF 8400FT².

THE REQUESTED ZONING DESIGNATION IS THE RESIDENTIAL MULTIFAMILY DISTRICT, WHICH WILL ALLOW FOR MULTIFAMILY RESIDENTIAL USES.

THE LOT IS CURRENTLY OCCUPIED WITH THE RESIDENTIAL HOME, AND THE APPLICANT INDICATED THE REASON FOR THE ZONE CHANGE IS TO BUILD APARTMENTS AT THIS LOCATION. ADJACENT ZONING APPEARS TO BE RESIDENTIAL PRIMARY ALL AROUND.

HOWEVER, THERE WAS A THERE WAS AN ISSUE WITH THE MAPS AND THESE PROPERTIES RIGHT HERE ONE, TWO AND 18. AND THIS PORTION HERE THEY ARE CURRENTLY ZONED RESIDENTIAL MULTIFAMILY.

WE MAILED OUT NOTIFICATIONS TO SURROUNDING PROPERTY OWNERS AND WE RECEIVED NO COMMENTS IN FAVOR. AND ONE AGAINST THIS REQUEST.

ON DECEMBER 6TH, PLANNING STAFF MET WITH DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENTS, AND IT WAS DETERMINED THAT INFRASTRUCTURE IN THIS AREA MAY SUPPORT THE PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT. STAFF IS RECOMMENDING APPROVAL OF THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AMENDMENT AND THE THE REZONING REQUEST BASED ON THE ADJACENT ZONING AND THE ADJACENT LAND USES.

IF APPROVED, THE APPLICANT WILL NEED TO COMPLY WITH ALL OF THE REQUIREMENTS DURING THE PERMITTING PROCESS.

ALEX, DID YOU SAY APPROVED? YOU. IT SAYS DENIAL ON DENIAL ON THE SHEET? YES. THAT WAS DUE TO THE MAPPING.

THE MAPPING ISSUES. BUT LIKE I MENTIONED, LIKE I MENTIONED, THESE AREAS RIGHT HERE ARE RESIDENTIAL MULTIFAMILY.

SO IN LIGHT OF THAT, WE ARE UPDATING OUR RECOMMENDATION.

OKAY. OKAY. THANK YOU.

THIS TIME I'D LIKE TO OPEN THE FLOOR FOR ANY PUBLIC COMMENTS. YOU WANT TO STEP UP TO THE PODIUM, PLEASE? JOSE GARCIA. I'M A HOMEOWNER.

I LIVE ON DIAMOND AVENUE.

I JUST WANTED TO KNOW, WHAT IS THIS GOING TO HAPPEN OR WHAT EXACTLY IS HAPPENING? APARTMENTS THEY'RE GOING TO BUILD APARTMENTS ARE GOING TO BE BUILT AROUND BRONX AVENUE AS WELL. IF YOU LOOK AT THE AERIAL SHOWS WHERE YOU LIVE, YOU PUT THE MOUSE ON IT.

OH, YEAH. OH. EXCUSE ME.

OH, YEAH. WHERE'S THAT ONE? THAT WAS THE CIRCLE. THIS IS THE ONE THAT IS BEING REZONED RIGHT HERE IN YELLOW. WHERE DO YOU. I LIVE RIGHT HERE ON BROWN STREET, RIGHT NEXT TO DIAMOND.

OH, THIS WAS FOR A DIFFERENT ITEM.

IT WAS FOR THE PREVIOUS ITEM OR THE PREVIOUS. OH, IT'S BECAUSE I GOT CONFUSED. BUT THE THING IS, IS I JUST WANT TO KNOW WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN. LIKE THERE'S GOING TO BE APARTMENTS BUILT IN THE FUTURE OR IT'S ALREADY.

COMMERCIAL BUSINESSES.

OKAY. IS THERE ANYTHING GOING TO BE BUILT? MR. CHAIRMAN, IT APPEARS THAT THE CITIZEN IS CONFUSED ON THE ITEM.

I CAN GO AHEAD AND PULL HIM TO THE SIDE TO EXPLAIN TO HIM. YEAH. THANK YOU. WHY DON'T YOU MOVE OVER THERE? DON'T LOOK STRAIGHT TO YOU, SIR. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. THANK YOU.

WOULD ANYBODY ELSE LIKE TO SPEAK ON THIS ITEM? STEP UP TO THE PODIUM. NO ONE.

I'LL GO AHEAD AND CLOSE THE FLOOR. I'M JUST GOING TO MOVE TO APPROVE THIS ITEM. WELL, I GOT A QUESTION FOR STAFF.

WHERE DID YOU SAY THE APARTMENTS ARE ALREADY.

RIGHT NEXT TO IT. CURRENTLY, THESE LOTS RIGHT HERE ARE ALL RESIDENTIAL.

MULTIFAMILY. OUR ZONING MAP HAD THEM LISTED AS RESIDENTIAL PRIMARY, AND THEY'RE CURRENTLY BUILT OUT AS CURRENTLY THEY ARE BUILT OUT AS IT APPEARS TO BE HOMES.

HOWEVER, THEY ARE BEING UTILIZED FOR MULTIFAMILY PURPOSES.

SO IT'S A RESIDENTIAL HOUSE THAT'S BEEN SPLIT UP.

WE DO HAVE THE THE APPLICANT HERE REAL QUICK.

[00:35:01]

SO I DID CONTACT PLANNING AND ZONING DEPARTMENT IN REGARDS TO THE ADJACENT LOTS ON IT. THEY WERE REZONED BACK IN 2021.

THE MAP JUST WASN'T UPDATED TO SHOW THAT I WAS ABLE TO GET SOME HISTORY WITH OUR GIS DEPARTMENT, WITH THE CITY, AND SO THEY DID VERIFY THAT IT IS THE SAME OWNER, SARGE ENTERPRISES.

THEIR INTENTION IS TO REPLAT THE PROPERTY AND DO SOME APARTMENTS ESSENTIALLY FROM FOURTH TO FIFTH AVENUE. THEY OWN ALL OF THOSE PROPERTIES ALONG JUNIOR.

SO THE INTENTION WOULD BE TO DO APARTMENTS THERE.

AND I GUESS THE ENTRANCE OF THE DRIVEWAY IS OFF OF JUNIOR.

WE DON'T HAVE A SPECIFIC SITE PLAN AS OF THE MOMENT.

BUT WE WOULD BE FOLLOWING CITY'S RECOMMENDATIONS OR REQUIREMENTS AS FAR AS GOING FORWARD. THIS WAS JUST THE LAST LOT THAT NEEDED TO BE REZONED.

CURRENTLY, THERE'S STILL ALL THE EXISTING INFRASTRUCTURE, THE EXISTING HOMES. THERE HASN'T BEEN ANY DEMOLITION DONE ANYTHING YET BECAUSE THEY'RE PLANNING ON KNOCKING THEM DOWN? YES. WE WOULD BE DOING NEW, NEW APARTMENTS THERE.

OKAY. OKAY. SO THEY'RE CURRENTLY NOT MULTIFAMILY.

THEY'RE NOT RIGHT NOW.

IT'S JUST IT'S ZONED THAT WAY ALREADY.

IT'S JUST IT HASN'T BEEN BUILT OUT YET. I GET IT. AND IS THAT IS THAT STAFF'S RECOMMENDATION OF THE CITY'S, YOU KNOW, WISH THEY WANT TO HAVE MORE SO CLOSE TO THE UNIVERSITY.

MAKE SENSE. BUT OFF OF JUNIOR MORE FOURPLEXES RIGHT OFF OF JUNIOR.

YEAH, I DOUBT THAT. SO BEING THAT THAT AREA THERE IS ALREADY MULTIFAMILY RIGHT THERE.

THIS AREA HERE. AT THIS TIME, WE WOULDN'T HAVE ANY ISSUES WITH THAT PARTICULAR LOT BEING RESIDENTIAL, MULTIFAMILY.

AND OF COURSE THEY WOULD ALSO NEED TO COMPLY WITH ALL OTHER REQUIREMENTS DURING THE SUBDIVISION PROCESS. DURING THE PERMITTING PROCESS.

YEAH. AND I DON'T KNOW IF THEY'LL FIT A FOURPLEX ON THERE.

IT MIGHT BE A DUPLEX. OH YEAH.

IT'S SUPER CLOSE TO THE SCHOOL. BUT HE'S GOT MULTIPLE HE'S GOT MULTIPLE LOTS THERE.

YEAH. THE HIGHEST AND BEST USE WOULD BE MULTIFAMILY.

YEAH. I THOUGHT IT WAS CLOSER TO THE HIGHWAY.

SORRY. ALL RIGHT. YOU'RE GOOD.

JUST. JUST ACROSS THE STREET FROM THE UNIVERSITY. I'M GOOD.

OKAY. OKAY. ALL RIGHT, SO I ALREADY HAVE A MOTION OVER HERE BY MR. RAMIREZ. MOTION SECOND.

EVERYBODY IN FAVOR, PLEASE RAISE YOUR RIGHT HAND. OPPOSED? SAME SIGN.

MOTION CARRIES. ITEM 70.

20 ACRE TRACT OF LAND BEING THE EAST 20 ACRES OF LOT ONE, BLOCK 55 ALAMO LAND OF SUGAR COMPANY SUBDIVISION, HIDALGO COUNTY, TEXAS, LOCATED AT 3200 EAST CANTON ROAD.

STAFF. THIS PROPERTY IS LOCATED ON THE SOUTH SIDE OF EAST CANTON ROAD.

THE PROPERTY HAS A TOTAL AREA OF 20 ACRES.

THE APPLICANT IS REQUESTING RESIDENTIAL MULTIFAMILY WHICH IS GOING TO ALLOW FOR VARIOUS MULTI-FAMILY RESIDENTIAL USES.

THIS LOT IS CURRENTLY VACANT AND THE APPLICANT INDICATED THAT THE REASON FOR THE ZONE CHANGE IS TO ESTABLISH A MULTIFAMILY RESIDENTIAL SUBDIVISION AT THIS LOCATION.

THIS PROPERTY IS CURRENTLY ZONED AGRICULTURE AND OPEN SPACE DISTRICT.

ON DECEMBER 10TH OF 2013, THIS PROPERTY WAS ANNEXED INTO CITY LIMITS.

ADJACENT ZONING IS RESIDENTIAL PRIMARY TO THE NORTH AND AGRICULTURE TO THE EAST, SOUTH AND WEST. SURROUNDING LAND USES CONSIST OF SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL USES, VACANT LAND, AND WE DO HAVE A COUPLE OF MULTI-FAMILY RESIDENTIAL SUBDIVISIONS IN THE AREA. THE FUTURE LAND USE DESIGNATION FOR THIS PROPERTY IS FOR URBAN USES.

STAFF MAILED OUT NOTIFICATIONS TO SURROUNDING PROPERTY OWNERS, AND WE RECEIVED NO COMMENTS IN FAVOR OR AGAINST AT THE TIME THAT THE REPORT WAS PREPARED. ON DECEMBER 6TH, 2020, FOR THE PLANNING, STAFF MET WITH DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENTS AND IT WAS DETERMINED THAT INFRASTRUCTURE IN THE AREA MAY SUPPORT THE PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT.

STAFF IS RECOMMENDING APPROVAL OF THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AMENDMENT AND OF THE REZONING REQUEST BASED ON THE SURROUNDING LAND USES AND THE SURROUNDING ZONING DISTRICTS. SO THIS IS ANOTHER ONE WHERE OUR PACKET SAYS DENIAL.

YES, THE RECOMMENDATION WAS UPDATED.

OKAY. THIS TIME I'D LIKE TO OPEN THE FLOOR FOR ANY PUBLIC COMMENTS.

I'M SORRY, MR. DENNING. DID YOU HAVE ANOTHER QUESTION? I JUST HAVE A QUESTION FOR STAFF TO SEE. WHERE ARE THE OTHER MULTIFAMILIES IN THIS AREA? THE OTHER MULTIFAMILY WOULD BE THE ONES IN ORANGE.

HERE WE HAVE THIS ONE THAT WAS DONE RECENTLY.

I WANT TO SAY IT WAS DONE LAST YEAR.

THIS WAS ANNEXED IN. AND IT WAS IT CAME IN WITH THAT DESIGNATION.

THIS ONE WAS REZONED BACK IN 2023.

AND THESE TWO WERE DONE IN APPROXIMATELY 2015, 2016. AND THOSE ARE ALL MULTIFAMILY? YES, THOSE ARE MULTIFAMILY DEVELOPMENTS.

AND THEN WE HAVE THE LOS LAGOS DEVELOPMENT HERE TO THE NORTH.

I'LL GO OPEN THE FLOOR.

MR. CHAIRMAN, COMMISSIONERS MANUEL CANTU, DEVELOPER FOR THE PROJECT.

I'M HERE FOR ANY QUESTIONS YOU ALL MAY HAVE.

HOW MANY LOTS ARE PUTTING DOWN? ABOUT FIVE.

[00:40:04]

IN 2015, THE RESERVE AT CANTON.

WE DID THREE PHASES A RESIDENTIAL, COMMERCIAL, MULTI SINGLE FAMILY AND MULTIFAMILY.

SO THE MULTIFAMILY IS THE FURTHEST TO THE EAST THERE ON SABERCAT.

WE DID SABERCAT AND JAVELINA AND JAVELINA RIGHT.

AND SO THOSE ARE THOSE TWO SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENCES ON EITHER SIDE OF YOU.

YES. THEY'RE BIG TRACKS.

PROBABLY ANOTHER. THERE'S A 20 ACRE TRACK TO THE EAST OF ME, AND A 20 ACRE TRACK TO THE WEST OF ME.

WITH A SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENCE ON THERE.

THE LAST SUBDIVISION. WHAT'S THAT? I SAID SOON TO BE A RIGHT.

THANK YOU, MR. CANTU. THANK YOU.

THANK YOU. ANYBODY ELSE WOULD LIKE TO COME UP AND SPEAK ON THIS ITEM? PLEASE STEP UP TO THE PODIUM.

SO THIS MAY OR MAY NOT BE RELATED TO THE CONSTRUCTION.

CAN I HAVE YOUR NAME, SIR, PLEASE? THANK YOU.

SIR. MY. I LIVE ON 57.

I KNOW YOU CAN SEE IT RIGHT THERE.

ALL OF US HERE ALONG THIS LINE, WE'RE ALREADY EXPERIENCING VERY HEAVY TRAFFIC AS FAR AS CONSTRUCTION.

AND THEY'RE GOING IN VERY FAST SPEEDS.

OUR CONCERN IS SINCE. HERE OUR FENCE IS VERY BRITTLE.

I KNOW IT NEEDS REPAIRS AND STUFF, BUT IT'S KIND OF FALLING APART.

BUT WE'RE RIGHT AT THIS MOMENT.

WE CAN'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT.

WE'RE JUST WAITING. TO SEE MAYBE THE KIND OF WE GET A LITTLE BETTER.

AND AS FAR AS THE FUNDING, HOWEVER MY ONLY CONCERN IS, AGAIN, THE THE HEAVY AMOUNT OF CONSTRUCTION TRAFFIC THAT'S PASSING THROUGH THERE.

IT'S TO THE POINT SOMETIMES WHERE THERE'S VIBRATIONS WHERE IT'S IT'S KIND OF DAMAGING OUR, OUR OUR FENCE. SO AGAIN, I, I DON'T KNOW IF THIS IS ANYTHING RELATED TO, TO THE CONSTRUCTION THERE, BUT I GUESS WE WE'RE MY CONCERN IS THAT IN THAT STREET. WHILE THE DEVELOPMENT IS HAPPENING, THAT PRECAUTION SAFETY PRECAUTIONS EXTRA, ESPECIALLY WITH THE AMOUNT OF CONSTRUCTION THAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN THAT MAYBE THE CITY CAN HELP US WITH.

THE. THE SPEED LIMIT. BECAUSE, I MEAN, THEY'RE GOING 50, 60MPH. I MEAN, WE HAVE CHILDREN HERE THAT, YOU KNOW, THAT LIVE NEARBY. AND THE SPEED LIMIT THERE, I BELIEVE IS 45.

BUT THERE IT'S IN IN THE PLACEMENT OF THE SPEED LIMITS ARE NOT HELPING BECAUSE, I MEAN, IT'S IT'S ALMOST LIKE IT'S AN EXPRESSWAY AND IT'S IT'S REALLY BAD FOR A LOT OF US. SO, AGAIN, I GUESS I'M ASKING TO CONSIDER PLACING RIGHT HERE ON CANTON MAYBE A MORE VISUAL SPEED LIMITS SO THAT THINGS CANNOT BE THAT HECTIC BECAUSE IT'S REALLY IT'S REALLY INTIMIDATING.

IS IT A TWO LANE ROAD THERE? YES. IS IT JUST A NO SHOULDER? NO. NO. SO, I MEAN, SOMETIMES WE'RE OUTSIDE AND IT'S JUST IT'S THEY'RE GOING 60, 70MPH. SO IF YOU GUYS CAN PLEASE CONSIDER UPDATING THE SPEED LIMIT THERE SO THEY CAN KIND OF REDUCE THE SPEED OF THESE HEAVY, HEAVY CONSTRUCTION TRUCKS THAT ARE PASSING BY IN VERY HIGH SPEEDS. AND AGAIN, IT'S CAUSING DAMAGE.

IT'S A DIFFICULT THING.

I UNDERSTAND. I LIVE ON JUST A LITTLE FURTHER WEST FROM THERE.

ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE EXPRESSWAY, AND IT'S A 30 MILE AN HOUR ZONE, AND PEOPLE ARE GOING 40 AND 50 MILES AN HOUR THROUGH THERE, AND IT'S A FIVE LANE ROAD. I WOULD HAVE THOUGHT THIS WOULD HAVE BEEN 30 MILES, BUT IT'S NOT. IT'S ME TOO.

BUT AGAIN, THAT WOULD THE SOLUTION WOULD BE TO MAKE SURE THAT PEOPLE CAN VISUALLY SEE THE SPEED LIMITS THERE. I MEAN, IT'S IT'S SOMETHING WE CAN ASK STAFF AND

[00:45:01]

SO WHAT I WILL DO, MR. CHAIRMAN, IS I'LL GO AHEAD AND I'LL HAVE STAFF GET WITH THE GENTLEMAN.

WE'LL GO AHEAD AND GET WITH OUR ENGINEERING DEPARTMENT, WITH OUR TRAFFIC ENGINEERS TO GO AHEAD AND TAKE A LOOK AT IT.

MAYBE A STUDY IS NEEDED IN THE AREA, BUT I'LL GET OUR ENGINEERING STAFF TO GO AHEAD AND SPEAK WITH THE GENTLEMAN SO THAT WAY WE CAN ADDRESS HIS CONCERNS. WE'VE GOT A SPECIFIC TRAFFIC ENGINEER AND THEY MAY BE ABLE TO REDUCE THE SPEED.

[8. SUBDIVISION VARIANCES]

[A. Consider Variance Request to the City's Unified Development Code, Article 5 Section 5.202-J,]

OKAY. SO WE COULD GO TO EIGHT.

YES. OKAY. YES. WE DO HAVE SOMETHING WITH THE ENGINEERING DEPARTMENT.

AND THEY MET WITH THE ENGINEER. SO NOW WE'RE GOING TO GO TO ITEM EIGHT B CONSIDER THE

[B. Consider Variance Request to the City’s Unified Development Code, Article 3, Division 3.200,]

YES. SO THIS PROPERTY IS LOCATED JUST NORTH OF HIGHWAY 107, ABOUT 213FT EAST OF CUZCO LANE.

AND IT'S WITHIN OUR CITY LIMITS.

THE CURRENT TRACT A LITTLE OVER HALF AN ACRE, DOES CURRENTLY HAVE AN EXISTING STRUCTURE.

THE PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT IS FOR A ONE COMMERCIAL LOT.

THEY WANT TO KEEP THE EXISTING STRUCTURE.

TO EXPAND IT. THE PRELIMINARY PLAT APPROVAL IS ON THE CONSENT AGENDA FOR EB ESTATES.

FOR THIS SAME MEETING HERE ON DECEMBER 12TH, ON BEHALF OF THE DEVELOPER.

SO TECH ENGINEERING IS REQUESTING THE VARIANCE TO TO TABLE 3.202 AS IT APPLIES TO THE BUILDING SETBACKS.

THE DEVELOPER IS REQUIRED TO COMPLY WITH THE CURRENT BUILDING PLACEMENT STANDARDS, AS THEY'RE CURRENTLY COMING INTO COMPLIANCE TO PLOT THE PROPERTY.

THE DEVELOPER IS REQUESTING TO NOT COMPLY WITH THE MINIMUM 25 FOOT FRONT SETBACK AND DO A TEN FOOT FRONT SETBACK TO AVOID DEMOLITION COST AND ANY ADDITIONAL CONSTRUCTION COSTS FOR THE NEW BUILDING. STAFF IS RECOMMENDING TO KNOW THE REQUEST OF THE INTENT TO BRING THE PROPERTY TO COMPLIANCE WILL REQUIRE THEY MEET ALL CURRENT UDC REQUIREMENTS.

AND WE I DID INCLUDE THIS SITE MAP TO THE PRESENTATION THAT SHOWS THE EXISTING BUILDING

[00:50:02]

SO THE REQUEST IS FOR A TEN FOOT FRONT SETBACK.

AND WE DO ALSO HAVE THE ENGINEER HERE GOT A QUESTION.

WHAT KIND OF BUILDING IS IT GOING TO BE? THEY'RE GOING TO EXPAND IT.

THEY HAVE IT JUST I BELIEVE, FOR JUST FOR COMMERCIAL USE.

I KNOW WE DID ALREADY MEET WITH STAFF ON SOME FUTURE COMMERCIAL USES AND AN ADDITIONAL BUILDING FURTHER TO THE EAST, PROBABLY, LIKE COMMERCIAL EXPAND THAT JUST FOR COMMERCIAL USE. I MEAN, WHAT TENANTS WOULD COME IN HERE? PROBABLY. I'M NOT SURE IF THE ENGINEER HAS THAT INFORMATION.

I KNOW ON THE FURTHER BUILDING TO THE REAR OF THE PROPERTY, THEY DO PROPOSE, LIKE AN OIL CHANGE OR SOMETHING.

OKAY, I'LL GO TO OPEN THE FLOOR FOR THE ENGINEER.

GOOD EVENING, COMMISSIONERS. IS WITH THE ENGINEERING.

I'M THE ENGINEER ON THIS PROJECT, AND YEAH, I'M JUST HERE TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS YOU MIGHT HAVE FOR THE VARIANCE REQUEST. IT IS AN EXISTING BUILDING.

IN ORDER FOR US TO USE THAT BUILDING WHEN WE PLAT, THEY UNDERSTAND THAT THEY WILL BE ABLE TO THEY NEED TO BRING IT UP TO BUILDING CODE.

SO THEY WANT TO USE THAT EXISTING BUILDING FOR THEIR OFFICE AND THEN MAKE A NEW BUILDING. HOW HOW MUCH OF THAT THAT DRAWING RIGHT THERE IS, IS EXISTING BUILDING. IT'S JUST A LITTLE PORTION ON THE LEFT SIDE OF YOUR SCREEN.

THERE, IF YOU ZOOM IN.

OH, IT'S THAT TINY THING IN THE VERY FRONT. YEAH.

IT'S A IT'S A I THINK IT'S A CMU BLOCK BUILDING.

OH, IS IT THAT ONE ACRE THAT'S BY ITSELF? IT WAS OVERGROWN. YEAH, IT WAS OVER.

YEAH. IT'S NEXT TO A, LIKE A BIG WAREHOUSE.

LIKE A TRAILER SHOP. AND THEN MY OFFICE IS NEXT TO THAT.

YES, YES I KNOW. BUT THAT BUILDING'S NOT REALLY SALVAGEABLE, IS IT? YEAH. BASICALLY, IT'S IT'S JUST A BLOCK BUILDING.

IT'S JUST A FOUR WALLS OF CINDER BLOCK.

YEAH. AND THEN EVERYTHING'S GOING TO GET FILLED IN AND MAYBE JUST RAISED A LITTLE BIT AND GET AN ADDITION OF SOME.

WHAT DO YOU CALL SOME OFFICE SPACES RIGHT NEXT TO IT? IT'S VERY SMALL. IT'S LIKE TEN BY TEN OR SOMETHING. IT'S IT'S ABOUT.

IT'S 25 BY 30. OH. BIGGER THAN I THOUGHT.

YEAH. YOU DON'T. YOU DON'T WANT TO TEAR IT DOWN.

NO, I MEAN, IT'S ALREADY THERE.

WHY NOT JUST ADD TO IT? IT'S HOW LONG IT'S BEEN THERE? FOR A LONG TIME. I'M NOT SURE ABOUT HOW LONG IT'S BEEN THERE, BUT IT'S 30 OR 40 YEARS.

EASY. YEAH, IT'S DEFINITELY STILL VERY STURDY.

THE WALLS. OH, THAT'S MORE OF AN ENGINEERING AND BUILDING QUESTION.

YEAH, IT WOULD STILL NEED TO BE UP TO CODE WHEN THEY GET THE BUILDING PERMIT OUT.

AND STAFF IS RECOMMENDING DENIAL. YES.

STAFF IS RECOMMENDING DENIAL.

SO ESSENTIALLY THE ONLY REASON WHY HE'S COMING BEFORE THE SETBACKS IS BECAUSE HE WANTS TO KEEP THE CURRENT STRUCTURE.

AND IT WOULD REQUIRE HIM TO DO THE PLANNING.

HE WOULD HAVE TO GO FOR THE 25 FOOT COMMERCIAL SETBACKS.

BUT SINCE HE IS PROPOSING TO KEEP THE EXISTING BUILDING THERE, HE WOULD STILL HAVE TO REQUEST A VARIANCE FOR THE TEN FOOT SETBACK.

I THINK THE REASONS THAT WE HAVE BUILDING SETBACKS, YOU KNOW, ESPECIALLY ON A TXDOT HIGHWAY, IS TO KIND OF KEEP THE INTEGRITY OF AND TO BE ABLE TO SEE TO WHEN YOU'RE MAKING TURNS COMING OUT OF YOUR PARKING LOT, YOU KNOW, ONTO A STATE HIGHWAY. I THINK IT'S QUITE DANGEROUS TO HAVING A BUILDING THAT CLOSE TO THE ROAD. SO, YEAH, I MEAN, THAT'S UNDERSTANDABLE.

IF YOU LOOK AT IT FROM THE DEVELOPER SIDE, LET'S SAY THIS BUILDING WAS MAYBE FIVE YEARS OLD OR SOMETHING OF THAT NATURE.

MAYBE IT WAS A DIFFERENT TYPE OF BUILDING. I MEAN, WHAT WOULD THE CITY REQUIRE TO TEAR THAT DOWN AS WELL OR.

WELL, IT WAS BUILT A REALLY LONG TIME AGO, RIGHT? I UNDERSTAND THAT. YEAH.

AND UNFORTUNATELY, YOU KNOW, WE CAN'T CONTROL WHAT HAPPENED IN THE PAST, BUT WE'RE TRYING TO DEVELOP THIS SITE AS MUCH AS WE CAN BECAUSE IT'S ALSO VERY NARROW, AND IT'S 0.6 ACRES AND NOT A LOT OF STUFF TO DO IN IT.

IT'S WORTH A TRY. YEAH.

SO, YES. THERE'S ALSO A LOT OF OTHER BUSINESSES THAT FOLLOW THAT SAME SETBACK.

NEXT TO THIS STRUCTURE.

OH, YEAH. MY LITTLE, MY LITTLE CASITA.

IF I EVER WANTED TO DO SOMETHING, I'D HAVE TO KNOCK IT DOWN. OKAY.

YEAH. I'M LITERALLY. AND I'M ACTUALLY SCARED.

ONE OF MY OFFICE MANAGERS USES MY FRONT OFFICE.

YOU HAVE A CAR WRECK ON 107.

IT'S GOING STRAIGHT THROUGH MY BUILDING. SO? SO THAT'S THE BUILDING THAT'S KIND OF CLOSE TO THE REALLY WITH THE WITH THE ROCK AROUND IT. OKAY. YES. THAT'S MY LITTLE MY MY MY REAL ESTATE OFFICE, SO. GOTCHA. IF I EVER DID SOMETHING WITH IT, I WOULD HAVE TO KNOCK IT.

THAT'S WHY YOU LOOK FAMILIAR.

REAL ESTATE. THE REAL ESTATE? YES, SIR. YOU'RE AN AGENT? I'M A DEVELOPER. OR A DEVELOPER? YES. OKAY. THANK YOU THOUGH.

[00:55:02]

HOW LONG HAS HAVE THE SETBACKS BEEN? THOSE SETBACKS BEEN ADOPTED FOR THAT AREA? AS FAR AS FOR COMMERCIAL GENERAL, I MEAN, I WOULD HAVE TO GO BACK TO THE 25 IS USUALLY THE MINIMUM THAT WE HAVE FOR MANY, MANY YEARS ALREADY.

ESSENTIALLY, WHEN WE ADOPTED UNIFIED DEVELOPMENT CODE IN 2007, IT STARTED AT 25. SO BASICALLY, IF THAT THAT IDEA OF BUILDING A NEW BUILDING, IT WOULD HAVE ONLY BEEN FIVE YEARS OLD WOULDN'T EXIST. IT'S ONLY BECAUSE IT'S BEEN THERE SO LONG. CORRECT.

TINY LITTLE. MY BUILDING'S BEEN THERE SINCE 1940 SOMETHING.

YEAH. YEAH. AND KEEP IN MIND, IF AT ANY POINT IN TIME, YOU KNOW, LET'S SAY THE VARIANCE DOES GET APPROVED IN A BUILDING PERMIT IS SUBMITTED.

IT DOES NEED TO COMPLY WITH ALL THE REQUIREMENTS OF THE BUILDING CODES THAT WE ARE CURRENTLY ADOPTED WITH.

IF THAT IS THE CONCERN OF THE COMMISSION ABOUT THE INTEGRITY OF THE BUILDING.

THANK YOU. YEAH. THANK YOU.

THANK YOU. OKAY. YOU GOT A MOTION.

MAKE A MOTION TO DENY BASED ON STAFF'S RECOMMENDATION.

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