[8. PUBLIC HEARINGS]
DISTRICT. THE WEST HALF OF LOT 36, SANTA CRUZ GARDENS SUBDIVISION,[A. Consider the Comprehensive Plan Amendment from Auto-Urban Uses to Industrial Uses and]
UNIT NUMBER ONE, HIDALGO COUNTY, TEXAS.ACCORDING TO THE MAP RECORDED IN VOLUME SEVEN, PAGE 45 OF THE MAP RECORDS OF HIDALGO COUNTY, TEXAS, LOCATED AT IT AT 513 WEST PALM DRIVE, AS REQUESTED BY GERARDO TREVINO AND VERONICA ALEMAN. STAFF. YES, SIR.
MR. VICE CHAIRMAN. GOOD AFTERNOON. RITA GUERRERO, ASSISTANT DIRECTOR OF PLANNING AND ZONING. THE PROPERTY IS CURRENTLY LOCATED ON THE NORTH SIDE OF WEST PALM DRIVE, APPROXIMATELY 2000FT WEST OF NORTH FRONTAGE ROAD. ALSO KNOWN AS I-69C PROPERTY IS CURRENTLY ZONED RESIDENTIAL SUBURBAN DISTRICT, WHICH IS FOR LOW DENSITY SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL.
THE LOT CURRENTLY HAS ABOUT 100FT OF FRONTAGE ALONG WEST PALM DRIVE, WITH A LOT DEPTH OF ABOUT 1452.
THIS IS FOR A TOTAL AREA OF FIVE ACRES.
THE REQUESTED ZONING DESIGNATION IS FOR INDUSTRIAL LIGHT, WHICH IS INTENDED TO ACCOMMODATE LIGHT, INDUSTRIAL AND HEAVY COMMERCIAL USES.
THIS DOES INCLUDE WAREHOUSING, WHOLESALING, MACHINE SHOPS, BUILDING MATERIALS, OR LUMBER YARDS.
ADJACENT ZONING IS INDUSTRIAL GENERAL DISTRICT TO THE NORTH AND THE WEST, WITH RESIDENTIAL SUBURBAN DISTRICT TO THE EAST AND THE SOUTH.
SURROUNDING LAND DOES CONSIST OF INDUSTRIAL USES, RESIDENTIAL USES, AND VACANT LAND.
STAFF DID MAIL THE NOTICE TO TEN NEIGHBORING PROPERTY OWNERS ON FRIDAY, JUNE THE 13TH, AND WE RECEIVED NO COMMENTS IN FAVOR AND FIVE AGAINST THIS REQUEST AT THE TIME THE REPORT WAS PRESENTED.
WE DID RECEIVE ALSO A PETITION THAT WAS PROVIDED TO THE BOARD.
IT'S UP ON THE DAIS FOR CONSIDERATION THAT WAS GIVEN TO US FROM SURROUNDING RESIDENTS WITHIN THE AREA. STAFF DOES RECOMMEND DENIAL OF THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AMENDMENT AND THE REZONING REQUEST BASED ON THE SURROUNDING LAND USES AND THE CHARACTER OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD. THIS IS NOT BEFORE YOU.
THANK YOU. WE WILL OPEN THE ITEM UP FOR PUBLIC COMMENT.
IF YOU WISH TO MAKE A COMMENT, PLEASE COME TO THE FRONT AND STATE YOUR NAME.
GOOD EVENING. MY NAME IS CLAUDIA NOYOLA AND I AM A RESIDENT OF PALM DRIVE.
I'M HERE TONIGHT ON BEHALF OF MY FAMILY AND MY COMMUNITY MEMBERS WHO ARE DEEPLY CONCERNED. AND WE'RE ALL UNITED IN OUR OPPOSITION TO PROPOSED ZONING CHANGE FROM RESIDENTIAL TO LIGHT INDUSTRIAL ON PALM DRIVE.
WE CHOSE TO BUY OUR HOMES IN THIS NEIGHBORHOOD BECAUSE IT WAS ZONED RESIDENTIAL. IT OFFERED PEACE, SAFETY AND A FAMILY FRIENDLY COUNTRY
[00:10:05]
ENVIRONMENT, ESPECIALLY IMPORTANT TO THOSE OF US STILL RAISING CHILDREN OR CARING FOR MY 84 YEAR OLD MOTHER. FOR MANY OF OUR ELDERLY NEIGHBORS, A SIMPLE WALK TO THE THROUGH OUR ONE PALM DRIVE IS THEIR ONLY SOURCE OF EXERCISE AND PEACE. NOT EVERYONE CAN GET TO A PARK.AND IF INDUSTRIAL TRAFFIC IS ALLOWED, IT WOULD MAKE EVEN THESE SHORT WALKS UNSAFE FOR MY MOM AND OUR OTHER ELDERLY NEIGHBORS.
OUR STREET WAS NOT BUILT FOR COMMERCIAL USE.
THE INFRASTRUCTURE ISN'T THERE AND THE COMMUNITY WAS NEVER INTENDED TO ABSORB INDUSTRIAL OPERATIONS.
REZONING THIS PROPERTY ON PALM DRIVE TO INDUSTRIAL USE SETS A DANGEROUS PRECEDENT TO US. IT TELLS FAMILIES THAT ZONING DECISIONS CAN BE CHANGED AFTER THEY'VE INVESTED THEIR LIFE SAVINGS SAVINGS INTO THEIR HOME.
WE CHOSE THAT PROPERTY SPECIFICALLY FOR THAT REASON.
WE'RE URGING YOU TO PROTECT OUR COMMUNITY, RESPECT THE EXISTING ZONING, AND PRESERVE THE SAFETY AND INTEGRITY OF OUR NEIGHBORHOOD.
WE MIGHT NOT BE A COOKIE CUTTER NEIGHBORHOOD LIKE THERE ARE HERE IN TOWN, BUT THIS IS OUR NEIGHBORHOOD AND WE ALL CARE FOR IT.
THANK YOU. THANK YOU. THANK YOU.
ANYONE ELSE? GOOD AFTERNOON. I'M CLAUDIA.
CLAUDIA'S HUSBAND. I ALSO LIVE ON PALM DRIVE.
WHAT IS YOUR NAME, SIR? ARNOLD. ARNOLD.
SO, JUST TO ADD TO WHAT MY WIFE JUST TALKED ABOUT, ALL THOSE THINGS MATTER TO US.
THIS PALM DRIVE IS OUR NEIGHBORHOOD.
IF THERE WAS AN EMPTY NEIGHBORHOOD, AN EMPTY LOT IN YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD AND YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD, WOULD YOU ALLOW COMMERCIAL VEHICLES TO TO COME IN AND PLANT A WAREHOUSE THERE JUST BECAUSE IT'S OPEN? I BELIEVE NOT. OUR NEIGHBORHOOD IS IMPORTANT TO US AND OUR SAFETY IS IMPORTANT.
WE HAVE ALSO LIVED OR MY IN-LAWS HAVE LIVED IN THAT NEIGHBORHOOD FOR OVER 40 OR 50 YEARS.
THAT LITTLE INTERSECTION ON PALM DRIVE AND 281 AND NOW I-69 HAS SEEN ACCIDENTS UPON ACCIDENTS UPON ACCIDENTS.
I PERSONALLY HAVE CALLED NUMEROUS 911 CALLS FOR VEHICLES FOR ACCIDENTS THAT HAPPEN ON THAT LITTLE INTERSECTION, IT IS WOEFULLY UNDERDEVELOPED.
THAT NEEDS TO BE RETHOUGHT OUT.
JUST IN THE LAST 18 MONTHS, ACCORDING TO THE TEXAS DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC SAFETY, THERE HAVE BEEN 14 ACCIDENTS ALMOST ONCE A MONTH, ONCE A MONTH. I HAVE TO TELL MY KIDS, BE PREPARED TO STOP.
PEOPLE THERE ARE NOT PAYING ATTENTION. NOW WE'RE GOING TO INTRODUCE COMMERCIAL VEHICLES TO DRIVE DOWN PALM DRIVE.
IT'S GOING TO INCREASE THE RISK TO THE PEOPLE THAT LIVE AND LIVE IN THAT COMMUNITY AND AND ARE PART OF THAT COMMUNITY. SO WE WE URGE YOU TO THINK OF THIS PALM DRIVE AS YOUR COMMUNITY, AS YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD.
THANK YOU. ANYONE ELSE? MY NAME IS MARCELINO CUELLAR.
I RESIDED 608 WEST PALM DRIVE.
I BOUGHT THAT PROPERTY BACK IN 68, AND IT WAS FARMLAND.
IN. I DID IT IMMEDIATELY TO MY FATHER BECAUSE I WENT AWAY TO SCHOOL, AND HE BUILT HIS HOUSE THERE, RAISED CHILDREN.
AND NOW, AFTER 40 YEARS LATER, I CAME BACK.
AND NOW I'M RAISING MY SOME OF MY GRANDCHILDREN.
AND THE SCHOOL BUS DOES THE RIGHT THING, AND IT'S THE STREET IS VERY NARROW.
IT'S NOT A REALLY IT'S A PAVED STREET, BUT IT'S NOT A WHAT I WOULD CALL A REGULATION SIZE STREET. AND TWICE A COMMERCIAL VEHICLE THAT GOT LOST OR SOMETHING ALMOST HIT THE CHILD.
I MEAN, ALMOST HIT MY GRANDKID, I MEAN, AND HE NEVER STOPPED.
HE DIDN'T CARE. SO WHAT I'M SAYING IS, FOR THE SAKE OF THE CHILDREN THAT RESIDE IN WEST PALM DRIVE, PLEASE DO THE RIGHT THING.
KEEP IT RESIDENTIAL THE WAY I THINK IT SHOULD BE.
THANK YOU. THANK YOU, MR. QUINN. YES, SIR.
GOOD EVENING. MY NAME IS MATEO.
NINO AND I ALSO LIVE ON WESTBANK DRIVE.
AND THIS IS THE SECOND TIME THAT THEY HAVE TRIED TO MAKE WESTBANK DRIVE COMMERCIAL.
[00:15:08]
AND WE'VE BEEN HERE BEFORE, AND THERE'S STILL SOME PROPERTIES THAT ARE ON SALE THAT I'M SURE IN THE FUTURE WE'RE GOING TO BE BACK, BECAUSE THE PROMISE WHEN THEY SOLD THAT LAND IS THAT IT'S POTENTIAL TO GROW.POTENTIAL TO MAKE MONEY, BASICALLY.
IN THREE MINUTES. I CANNOT COVER WHAT I COVER THE FIRST MEETING YEARS AGO, BUT I'M JUST GOING TO COVER THE MAIN THING HERE.
AND THIS IS NOT THAT WE'RE ASKING FOR IT, BUT THIS IS THE JOB OF THE PLANNING AND ZONING TO DO. AND IT FALLS UNDER THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN, THE LAND USE PATTERNS AND BASICALLY PLANNING AND ZONING SHOULD PROVIDE PROTECTION FROM NOISE, GLARE, SMELL, VIBRATION AND BUFFER YARDS AND OTHER REGULATIONS.
THE QUESTION HERE IS BUFFER YARD OKAY.
WHAT'S A BUFFER YARD BY DEFINITION.
AND A BUFFER YARD IS BASICALLY AN AREA WHERE YOU CANNOT BASICALLY CONSTRUCT ANYTHING BECAUSE IT'S A BUFFER ZONE IN BETWEEN COMMERCIAL AND RESIDENTIAL.
THIS PROPERTY HAS ALL THE DEFINITION OF A BUFFER ZONE.
ON THE EAST SIDE IS EXISTING COMMERCIAL.
ACTUALLY ON THE WEST SIDE IS THE EXISTING CONVERSION. ON THE EAST SIDE IS THE RESIDENTIAL. TO THE EAST.
WE ARE EXPECTING WHAT MORE THAN 50 HOMES ARE COMING IN.
THERE'S A NEW SUBDIVISION THAT THEY ESTIMATE AND YOU NEED TO PROTECT THOSE PEOPLE.
YOU NEED TO ENCOURAGE PEOPLE TO COME IN AND BUILD HOMES.
NOW, BY DEFINITION, THIS THIS PROPERTY, IF I WAS THE OWNER AND I HEAR THIS, MY SECTION, I WILL PROBABLY RETRIEVE MY APPLICATION BECAUSE IT'S A BUFFER ZONE.
IF THIS GENTLEMAN PAID A PRETTY PENNY FOR THIS PROPERTY WITH THE IDEA TO MAKE BUSINESS THERE. INDUSTRIAL. COME ON. INDUSTRIAL.
AT THE END OF THE DAY, WHEN YOU GUYS MAKE A DECISION BECAUSE THIS IS YOUR JOB, NOT NOT THE COMMUNITY, IS THIS YOUR JOB? AND YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE TO TELL HIM, LOOK, YOUR PROPERTY FALLS UNDER A BUFFER ZONE. VERY SIMPLE. UNLESS YOU WANT TO CHANGE THE DEFINITION OF A BUFFER ZONE.
BUT THAT'S BASICALLY WHAT IT IS.
AND THERE'S MORE THINGS THAT I CAN COVER IN THREE MINUTES.
WELL, THAT'S THE MAIN THING THAT I WANTED TO COVER.
BY DEFINITION, THIS PROPERTY IS A BUFFER ZONE.
SIMPLE AS THAT. OTHER THINGS HERE IT SAYS, LIKE I SAID, NOISE WHEN YOU HAVE TRUCKS COMING IN.
WE STILL DON'T HAVE ELECTRIC CARS, RIGHT? ELECTRIC TRACTOR TRAILERS.
SO WHAT ARE THEY USING? THIS ONE. IS THIS SO SAFETY FOR LIKE SOMEBODY LIKE ME? I'M ALREADY 60. I'M OVER 60 ALREADY.
AND YOU THINK THAT'S. THAT'S GOOD FOR ME? FOR MY HEALTH.
I LIKE THE OUTDOORS. I'M ALWAYS OUTSIDE. YOU CAN ASK MY NEIGHBORS WHENEVER THEY COME BY.
WHENEVER THEY SEE ME, I'M ALWAYS OUTSIDE BECAUSE I LOVE THE OUTSIDE. AND I DON'T HAVE TO CHANGE MY WAY OF LIVING.
BECAUSE NOW I'M GOING TO HAVE DIESEL FUMES ALL OVER.
ALL OVER MYSELF. DIESEL EMISSIONS.
THEY'RE ALREADY BEEN PROVEN TO CAUSE ASTHMA, HEART DISEASE, PREMATURE BIRTHS. OKAY, MY TIME IS UP.
YES, SIR. MR. NINO. THAT'S THREE MINUTES.
OKAY. BUT WE UNDERSTAND AND APPRECIATE YOUR YOUR COMING.
THE MAIN THING I COVER, THE MAIN THING IS. THANK YOU FOR HAVING ME HERE TODAY. OKAY. THANK YOU. MR.. THANK YOU.
WE'VE BEEN RESIDENTS THERE SINCE 87.
WE BOUGHT THAT PROPERTY THERE. WE BUILT OUR HOME THERE WITH THE HOPES OF RETIRING AND LIVING THERE FOR THE LONG TERM. WE'VE GROWN TO THAT AREA FOR A WHILE, AND WE'VE GROWN TO KNOW OUR NEIGHBORS HERE.
AND WE LOOK AT THEM LIKE THEY'RE A FAMILY.
AND WE LOVE THAT NEIGHBORHOOD ENVIRONMENT THAT WE HAVE.
NOW, WHEN Y'ALL THIS CAME UP FOR FOR THE ZONING, THIS PLACE FOR COMMERCIAL, I SAID NO.
YOU ALREADY HAVE ENOUGH COMMERCIAL PROPERTY ON I-69 ALREADY.
AND YOU ALSO HAVE THE INDUSTRIAL PARK THAT'S EMPTY.
NOW, THE GENTLEMAN WANTS TO INVEST IN PROPERTY OR MONEY ON A BUSINESS AND LIGHT INDUSTRIAL, COMMERCIAL, WHATEVER YOU HAVE.
THE EMPTY PARK THERE. NOW, WE HAVE ALREADY, LIKE MR. NINO SAYS, A LIGHT INDUSTRIAL OR INDUSTRIAL PROPERTY WEST OF THAT BUFFER PROPERTY.
SO WE'RE GOING TO HAVE OTHER RESIDENTIALS COMING IN HERE PRETTY SOON.
THE STREET IS NOT MADE FOR THAT FOR COMMERCIAL USE WHATSOEVER.
AND I WOULD HOPE THAT YOU ALL WOULD TAKE THIS IN CONSIDERATION,
[00:20:02]
THAT THIS IS A NICE PLACE FOR US TO LIVE.AND I HOPE YOU ALL TAKE THAT INTO CONSIDERATION.
GOD BLESS YOU ALL. THANK YOU, MR. GARZA.
ANYONE ELSE IN FAVOR OR AGAINST? GO AHEAD. SIR. HELLO, SIR.
I'M THE OWNER OF THE PROPERTY.
I'M TO MEET THE APPLICATION TO REZONING TO TO INDUSTRIAL.
BUT AND ON THAT I HAVE A AC COMPANY.
WE HAVE 20 EMPLOYEES. 80% OF THE EMPLOYEES GO STRAIGHT TO THE JOB SITE, NOT EVEN TO THE THE WAREHOUSE OR THE OFFICE.
WE HAD LIKE TWO 2 OR 3 PROJECTS PER YEAR.
WE DON'T HAVE TOO MANY MOVEMENTS ON THE AROUND THE PROPERTY OR THE EXISTING PROPERTY.
BUT THE INDUSTRIAL ZONE IS AROUND IN THE WEST SIDE AND THE NORTH SIDE IN THAT AREA.
30 ACRES ON THE WEST, 20 ACRES ON THE ON THE NORTH SIDE ALSO MAYBE THE AC COMPANY IS NOT FOR THE INDUSTRIAL ZONE.
IT'S GONNA IT'S GONNA BE CAN BE, B ARE LIKE COMMERCIAL WHERE I SPOKE WITH MR. AZEVEDO. SO WE DIDN'T REALLY NEED AN INDUSTRIAL ZONE OR REZONING TO INDUSTRIAL.
WE CAN DO IT LIKE COMMERCIAL LIGHT.
WE DON'T HAVE TOO MANY MOVEMENTS, TOO MANY TRUCKS.
WE DON'T HAVE TOO MANY DELIVERIES TO OUR SHOP.
BASICALLY, IT'S A LOCAL COMPANY.
WE WE DO SERVICE FOR THE RESIDENTIAL.
AND THAT'S WHY I AM ASKING TO REZONING, BUT I IF I CAN DO IT WE, I DON'T NEED INDUSTRIAL WITH LIKE, COMMERCIAL.
IT'S FINE. THERE'S NOT TOO MANY TRAFFIC.
I DON'T KNOW WHAT ELSE? THAT'S IT. THANK YOU. THANK YOU.
THANK YOU, MR. ALI. I DON'T BELIEVE WE CAN CHANGE THE THE REQUEST.
RIGHT. OR OR CHANGE THE ZONING.
OR DO YOU SUGGEST. WHAT DO YOU SUGGEST? YOU GUYS CAN CAN TABLE THE ITEM AND WE BRING IT BACK FOR, FOR FOR THE LESSER INTENSE ZONING IF THAT'S THE WISHES OF THE BOARD.
WELL, IT LOOKS LIKE THE APPLICANT. THAT'S WHAT HE WANTS. IT LOOKS LIKE IN TALKING TO THE APPLICANT YESTERDAY, HE DID SAY THAT HE WAS KIND OF MISLED A LITTLE BIT BY BY THE STAFF MEMBER THAT REVIEWED HIS APPLICATION.
SO I THINK THAT WOULD BE FAIR IF WE IF WE TABLE IT AND GIVE THEM ANOTHER OPPORTUNITY.
NOW, I DON'T THINK IT'S GOING TO CHANGE ANYTHING. I THINK THE THE CONCERN IS STILL COMMERCIAL. COMMERCIAL IS STILL COMMERCIAL. STAFF WOULD STILL RECOMMEND AGAINST IT. BUT IT'S UP TO THE BOARD IF THEY WANT TO TABLE THE ITEM AND BRING IT BACK.
I'LL LEAVE IT UP TO THE BOARD.
I'M READY TO VOTE. I THINK THE PUBLIC STILL HAS SOME.
YEAH, I HAD SOME QUESTIONS, BUT I'LL REOPEN THE THE OPPORTUNITY FOR YOU TO SPEAK. IF YOU WANT TO ASK SOME QUESTIONS, MAYBE WE CAN GO AHEAD.
THEY'RE GOING TO SPEAK, BUT I'LL. CAN I ALLOW THEM TO EITHER.
EITHER YOU'RE GOING TO CALL THE QUESTION OR YOU'RE GOING TO OPEN IT BACK UP FOR PUBLIC COMMENT. YEAH, WE'RE STILL IN PUBLIC COMMENT.
RIGHT? WELL, WE'RE STILL IN PUBLIC COMMENT.
RIGHT? YEAH. OKAY. SO WELL, WE'LL JUST LET THEM GO AHEAD.
GO AHEAD AND COME BACK UP AND WE'LL YEAH, WE'LL ALLOW THAT AND WE'LL ASK WE'LL ASK OUR QUESTIONS AFTER. SO AGAIN, ARNOLD LOYOLA I JUST WANTED TO, YOU KNOW, I SPEAK ON BEHALF OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD, WHETHER IT'S LIGHT INDUSTRIAL, WHETHER IT'S COMMERCIAL, WHETHER IT'S ANY KIND OF BUSINESS.
WE OPPOSE THAT. THIS IS A RESIDENTIAL COMMUNITY.
AND THAT THAT IS THE EMPHASIS OF WHAT WE'RE TRYING TO GET ACROSS, JUST LIKE YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD, YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD, AND YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD. IT IS A RESIDENTIAL PLACE, A HOME, A PLACE WE CALL HOME.
AND REGARDLESS IF YOU TABLE IT, KICK IT DOWN THE ROAD FURTHER.
OUR OPPOSITION IS TO HAVE ANY INDUSTRIAL, LIGHT INDUSTRIAL, WHATEVER FLAVOR YOU WANT TO CALL IT, HOWEVER YOU WANT TO ZONE IT.
IT'S A RESIDENTIAL. IT'S OUR HOME.
THANK YOU. YOU CAN MAKE A MOTION IF YOU WANT.
SIR. I CONCUR WITH MR. JOJOLA. MY CONCERN IS COMMERCIAL, REGARDLESS OF ITS LIGHT INDUSTRIAL.
IT'S THE SAME THING. REGARDLESS, WHATEVER YOU WANT TO TABLE IT OR CALL IT WHATEVER YOU WANT, IT'S THE SAME THING. IT'S STILL COMMERCIAL. OKAY, I APPRECIATE IT. THANK YOU. MISTER. THANK YOU.
[00:25:02]
OKAY. OKAY, SIR. GO AHEAD.MR. DEAN. THIS IS A VERY SIMPLE, SIMPLE ISSUE, RIGHT? WE NEED TO CLARIFY.
WHAT'S A BUSINESS? BUSINESS AREA? WHAT'S A RESIDENTIAL AREA? WHAT'S A BUFFER ZONE? YES, SIR. OKAY. BY DEFINITION, LIKE I SAID BEFORE, THIS IS MY MAIN POINT.
THAT IS GOING TO GET THE RIGHT ANSWER WHEN YOU DEFINE THE PROPERTY RIGHT NOW IS RESIDENTIAL. LEAVE IT THE WAY IT IS.
BECAUSE IF HE'S GOING TO PUSH IT, HE'S GOING TO END UP WITH A BUFFER ZONE.
AND HE'S NOT FAMILIAR WITH THE BUFFER ZONE. I DON'T THINK HE HE PAID THAT MONEY FOR THAT PROPERTY LIKE THAT. IT'S RESIDENTIAL.
IT'S A BEAUTIFUL PLACE TO RAISE MY KIDS.
MY KIDS GREW UP THERE AND NOW I HAVE GRANDKIDS.
SO HOPEFULLY ONE DAY THEY'LL GET TO LIVE THE SAME WAY THAT HIS AUNTS AND UNCLES LIVED.
LEAVE IT FOR THIS 25 YEARS THAT I'VE BEEN THERE.
IT'S A BEAUTIFUL PLACE TO LIVE. THANK YOU.
ONE MORE. YES, SIR. COME ON UP, MR. ALLEN. THANK YOU SIR. AS THE LADY SHOWING THAT MAP, I DON'T KNOW IF SHE CANNOT PUT IT BACK WHERE IT IS.
EVERYTHING IS PURPLE. THE PLANNING AND ZONING, THE ZONING, THE FUTURE.
THE FUTURE, THAT FUTURE USE AND ALL THAT, THAT THAT PURPLE AREA IS.
THEY PLANNING TO DO INDUSTRIAL? THEY ALREADY IS ON THE ON THE WEB PAGE.
IT'S A PUBLIC RECORD. YOU YOU CAN SEE IT'S SURROUNDED THE INDUSTRIAL AREA.
COMMERCIAL AREA. AND THAT'S THAT'S WHY MY COMPANY IS IN THE FUTURE.
YES. THANK YOU. THANK YOU, MR. CHAIRMAN.
OKAY, WE'LL CLOSE THE FLOOR AND I'LL OPEN UP TO A TO A MOTION.
GO AHEAD. WHAT ARE WE? I HAVE A QUESTION ON WHAT'S BEING CONSIDERED A BUFFER ZONE.
IS IT A WHOLE PROPERTY, OR WOULD IT JUST BE A.
WOULD IT JUST BE A STRIP OF LAND 20FT WIDE, IF I MAY? YEAH. SO A BUFFER ZONE IS WHAT IS CONSIDERED ON A PROPERTY THAT IS A PIECE OF PROPERTY OR A PIECE OF THE ACTUAL PROPERTY ITSELF THAT IS ADJACENT TO OTHER PROPERTIES.
AND IN THIS SCENARIO A BUFFER ZONE WITH THE GENTLEMAN IS MENTIONING IS IT WOULD BE INCORPORATED DURING THE BUILDING PERMIT PHASE, DURING THE SITE PLAN REVIEW, THAT THERE IS A SPECIFIC BUFFER BETWEEN THE RESIDENTIAL PART AND THE INDUSTRIAL IF THIS WAS TO BE APPROVED. SO IF THIS WAS TO CONTINUE FORWARD, RIGHT, AND FOLLOW THROUGH WITH THE APPROVAL FROM CITY COUNCIL, THEN THE REQUIRED BUFFER ZONE, THAT WOULD BE AT LEAST A SIX FOOT CMU WALL ALONG THE RESIDENTIAL PORTION OF IT.
AND THEN IT WOULD BE CONSISTENT ALONG WITH THE INDUSTRIAL LAND.
IT WOULDN'T BE THE WHOLE PIECE ON THE OWN LAND ITSELF. YES.
SO AND WITHIN THAT, YOU DO HAVE THE SETBACKS.
I HAVE SOME FOLLOW UP QUESTIONS.
THE FIRST ONE WAS YOU HAD TO REFER TO THE FUTURE LAND USE MAP.
BUT AS I LOOK AT THAT FUTURE LAND USE MAP, THAT SUBDIVISION IS SURROUNDED BY COMMERCIAL AND INDUSTRIAL. THE REASON FOR THE DENIAL WAS WHAT WAS THE REASON? THE REASON FOR THE DENIAL IS VARIOUS REASONS, RIGHT? YOU DO HAVE THE INDUSTRIAL ZONING THAT IS LOCATED TO THE NORTH AT THE INDUSTRIAL PARK, RIGHT. AND THAT INDUSTRIAL PARK DOES HAVE ITS OWN ACCESS OFF OF I-69, RIGHT? I FIGURED YOU WOULD SAY THAT.
BUT THEN YOU HAVE THE OTHER ONES THAT THAT THE GENTLEMAN WAS POINTING OUT THAT ARE PURPLE. THE ONE YOU HAD, THE FUTURE LAND.
SEE THAT ONE? THE ACCESS IS THROUGH PALM DRIVE.
THE ACCESS TO MY UNDERSTANDING IS OFF OF REPUBLIC DRIVE.
EVERYTHING SOUTH OF PALM DRIVE.
THE FUTURE LAND USE MAP SAYS IT'S GOING TO BE INDUSTRIAL.
ALSO, THE FUTURE LAND USE IS SOUTH OF PALM DRIVE.
DOES CALL FOR INDUSTRIAL USES.
I GOT A QUESTION. A LOT OF THE PUBLIC THAT'S COME TO SPEAK TODAY, WHERE DO THEY LIVE? IT APPEARS TO BE MOSTLY BASED OFF OF THE PETITION THAT WAS GIVEN.
IS SOME OF THEM ARE OFF OF THE SUBDIVISION AREA AS WELL AS OFF OF PALM DRIVE DIRECTLY WITHIN. YEAH. I'M SUPPOSING THERE ARE OTHER RESIDENTS IN THAT AREA.
YES. I CAN SHOW YOU THE SUBDIVISION ALREADY BUILT AND THERE'S HOUSES THERE.
YES, YES, THERE IS ALREADY A SUBDIVISION THERE.
IT IS ACTUALLY CURRENTLY DONE BY.
THAT IS A NEW SUBDIVISION THAT IS GOING IN.
AND IT IS FOR RESIDENTIAL PRIMARILY.
BUT DOES IT HAVE HOUSES? NO, NOT AT THE MOMENT. IT'S STILL GOING THROUGH. THE REVIEW PROCESS THAT'S HERE TODAY IS NOT FROM NOT FROM THE SUBDIVISION.
NO. THEY'RE OFF OF PALM DRIVE JUST ADJACENT TO THAT SUBDIVISION.
BUT THERE IS ALREADY NOISE COMING FROM I DON'T KNOW WHAT THAT IS FROM REPUBLIC THAT THAT IS SANTANA TEXTILES.
SANTANA TEXTILES. IT'S NOT OPEN TEXTILE.
[00:30:04]
SO IT'S JUST ONE OF THOSE BOAT ANCHORS THAT WE HAVE IN THE CITY.AND THEN YOU SEE TANDY'S AT THE ENTRANCE, AND YOU HAVE ALL THESE COMMERCIAL AT THE BEGINNING. I KNOW THAT LOT 28.
TOWARDS THE EXPRESSWAY. YES, BY THE EXPRESSWAY.
IT'S NOT SHOWN THERE ON THIS ONE.
YOU GO TO THE NEXT ONE UNDERNEATH THE LEGEND. THAT ONE RIGHT THERE. YES.
THAT'S RED. THAT'S THE FUTURE LAND USE MAP.
THAT IS THE FUTURE LAND USE. AND CURRENTLY IT'S ALREADY ZONED COMMERCIAL GENERAL. BUT THAT HAS ACCESS OFF OF THE FRONTAGE ROAD OFF OF I-69.
SO IS IT THE CITY'S WISH IN THE FUTURE FOR ALL OF THAT TO BE INDUSTRIAL AT SOME POINT, BASED OFF OF THE NEWLY ADOPTED COMPREHENSIVE PLAN? IF AT ANY POINT IN TIME THEY DO PROCEED TO WANT TO DEVELOP THE AREA, THE RECOMMENDATION WOULD BE FOR INDUSTRIAL USES IN THIS AREA.
OKAY. IF AT ANY POINT IN TIME IT DECIDES TO BECOME DEVELOPED WITH ACCESS FROM PALM DRIVE.
YEAH. NOW CURRENTLY THE INFRASTRUCTURE IS NOT THERE ON PALM.
SO ALONG WITH THE DEVELOPMENT, WE WOULD NEED THE NEW A NEW ROAD BECAUSE THIS APPEARS TO BE LIKE AN OLD COUNTY ROAD.
CORRECT. THESE PROPERTIES ARE CURRENTLY NOT CONSIDERED SUBDIVIDED.
THEY ARE LARGE TRACTS OF LAND.
SO IF THEY WERE TO COME IN AND SUBDIVIDE IT, TO DEVELOP IT, THEY WOULD BE A REQUIREMENT. RIGHT. AS FAR AS EXTENSION OF UTILITIES ALSO EXTENSION.
THAT'S THE ONLY ACCESS WHICH IS PALM DRIVE.
I DON'T SEE ANY OTHER REAR ACCESS.
CORRECT. THEY WOULD HAVE TO WIDEN THE CONSTITUTION OR AND TO THE REPUBLIC? YES. SO I MEAN, THAT SUBDIVISION SEEMS TO BE OUT OF PLACE, BUT OBVIOUSLY WAS APPROVED TO THE RESIDENTIAL PRIMARY, SIR. YEAH. THE ONE THAT WAS BUILT.
AND I WON'T SEEM LIKE THAT SHOULDN'T HAVE BEEN BUILT THE WAY THAT THE FUTURE LAND USE IS. GO TO THE. GO TO THE.
YEAH. THAT'S. IT. ALMOST SEEMS LIKE THE SUBDIVISION SHOULDN'T BE THERE, BUT BUT IT'S THERE. BUT IT'S THERE BECAUSE IT'S SURROUNDED BY INDUSTRIAL.
AND I UNDERSTAND BECAUSE IT'S IT'S WHERE IT MAY HAVE BEEN APPROVED BEFORE THE UDC.
POSSIBLY, YEAH. DID IT CHANGE THAT MUCH? I MEAN, THE MAP CHANGED THAT MUCH ON THIS AREA.
OH, IT DID, BECAUSE THE WAY THAT LOOKS.
AND IF THERE'S A PROPERTY THAT I'D LIKE TO BUY, I WOULD BUY IT FOR INDUSTRIAL.
I'M TELLING YOU. AND I'M GOING TO COME HERE AND I'M GOING TO HAVE A PROBLEM.
AND WE ALREADY HAVE A PROBLEM THAT'S ADJACENT TO LOT SIX.
SEE, NUMBER 36 IS ADJACENT TO LOT 60.
AND I SEE WHY THE GENTLEMAN SAID, HEY, WELL, ALL I WANT IS JUST A WAREHOUSE TO PUT HVAC BUSINESS, WHICH IS, IT'S NOT GOING TO BE 18 WHEELERS.
WHAT WOULD THE CITY BE AMENABLE TO IN THAT BUFFER ZONE BETWEEN THE RESIDENTIAL PRIMARY AND THE INDUSTRIAL? WOULDN'T IT BE CMU COMMERCIAL? THE BUFFER REQUIREMENT BETWEEN THE ZONING FROM RESIDENTIAL TO INDUSTRIAL? THE REQUIREMENT WOULD BE A SIX FOOT CMU BLOCK WALL. CMU BLOCK WALL.
I GUESS WHAT IS WHAT IS MORE PALATABLE AS FAR AS ZONING WISE? I WOULD SAY EITHER KEEP IT TO SUBURBAN, RESIDENTIAL, OR IF ANYTHING, CONSIDER GOING INTO THE RESIDENTIAL PRIMARY.
THE ESTHETIC OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD IS FOR RESIDENTIAL.
SO THEN HAVE HOUSES BY INDUSTRIAL.
THERE STILL WOULD BE A REQUIREMENT AS FAR AS IF THEY WERE DOING THE SUBDIVISION, AND THE REQUIREMENT WOULD STILL BE THAT SIX FOOT CMU IS THERE CMU WALL RIGHT NOW BETWEEN THE PURPLE AND THE YELLOW RIGHT THERE, TO MY UNDERSTANDING, I DON'T BELIEVE SO. PROBABLY NOT.
NO. THE THING IS THAT THEY'RE NOT SEEING ANY TRAFFIC RIGHT NOW OF ANY COMMERCIAL VEHICLES.
THAT'S WHY BECAUSE THEY GO THROUGH CONSTITUTION, IF ANY. BUT THIS IS BEING PREPARED FOR THE FUTURE TO BEGIN TO SEE COMMERCIAL VEHICLES.
IF I BUY THAT PROPERTY FOR MY MY SEMI TRUCKS, YOU'RE GOING TO BE SEEING SEMI TRUCKS GOING THROUGH IT.
AND LIKE HE SAID, THERE IS GOING TO BE AN ISSUE.
BUT THE WAY IT'S BEING PREPARED FOR THE FUTURE IS NOT RIGHT.
THE WAY IT LOOKS IS THAT MAYBE ALL OF THAT NEEDS TO BE FUTURE RESIDENTIAL.
AUTO URBAN? YEAH. I DON'T THINK WE CAN MAKE ANY OF THOSE CHANGES RIGHT NOW.
I'D LIKE TO ENTERTAIN A MOTION, PLEASE, TO TO EITHER WE TABLE OR WE OR WE MOVE FORWARD ON THIS ITEM.
I WOULD MAKE A MOTION TO TABLE THE ITEM.
SEE IF THE GENTLEMAN COME BACK WITH LIGHT COMMERCIAL. I'M NOT SURE IF STAFF IS STILL GOING TO BE AGAINST IT. THEY'RE GOING TO BE AGAINST IT. THAT'S MY MOTION.
WE HAVE A MOTION TO TO TO TABLE THE ITEM SECOND AND A SECOND.
ALL IN FAVOR? ALL OPPOSED? IT PASSES. IT'S TABLED.
YES, SIR. THREE, TWO. OKAY, WE'LL MOVE ON TO ITEM B, WHICH IS CONSIDER THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AMENDMENT FROM AUTO URBAN USES TO
[00:35:02]
MULTI-FAMILY RESIDENTIAL USES, AND THE REZONING REQUEST FROM RESIDENTIAL PRIMARY DISTRICT TO RESIDENTIAL MULTIFAMILY DISTRICT..171 OF ONE ACRE CONSISTING OF 0.163 OF ONE ACRE BEING ALL OF LOT 12 AND 0.008 OF ONE ACRE OUT OF LOT 11.
ALL OUT OF BLOCK 168 AMENDED PLAT OF EDINBURG.
ORIGINAL TOWN SITE. CITY OF EDINBURG, HIDALGO COUNTY, TEXAS.
LOCATED AT 321 WEST LOBE STREET, AS REQUESTED BY MELVIN AND HUNT.
SO THIS PROPERTY IS CURRENTLY LOCATED AT THE NORTHEAST INTERSECTION OF NORTH EIGHTH AVENUE AND WEST LOPE STREET, JUST FURTHER DOWN THE STREET.
PROPERTY IS CURRENTLY ZONED RESIDENTIAL PRIMARY ZONING.
IT HAS A TOTAL OF 50FT OF FRONTAGE WITH A LOT DEPTH ABOUT 142 FOR A TOTAL SQUARE FOOTAGE AREA OF ABOUT 7448. SURROUNDING AREAS DOES CONSIST OF SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL AS WELL AS SOME MULTIFAMILY. AND WE DO HAVE ECISD SCHOOL ADMINISTRATION JUST LOCATED ACROSS THE STREET. THIS PROPERTY IS CURRENTLY GOING FOR REZONING.
THEY ARE WANTING TO GO FROM RESIDENTIAL PRIMARY TO RESIDENTIAL MULTIFAMILY.
SO WE DID NOTICE TO 24 NEIGHBORING PROPERTY OWNERS, AND WE DID NOT RECEIVE ANY COMMENTS IN FAVOR OR AGAINST THIS REQUEST AT THE TIME OF THE REPORT. STAFF DOES RECOMMEND DENIAL OF THE ZONING REQUEST, AS WELL AS THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AMENDMENT BASED OFF OF THE CHARACTER OF THE LAND AND THE SURROUNDING AREAS.
THIS IS NOW BEFORE YOU. WE'LL OPEN THE ITEM FOR ANY PUBLIC COMMENT.
MARLON GARZA WITH MELTON AND HUNT REPRESENTING THE OWNERS FOR THIS PROPERTY.
SO WE ARE PROPOSING TO DO FROM RESIDENTIAL TO RESIDENTIAL.
MULTIFAMILY. WE HAVE DONE JUST RECENTLY, THIS YEAR, ANOTHER SIMILAR PROPERTY CORNER LOT IN THE TOWN SITE OFF OF PETER AND AND 10TH STREET.
AND SO WHAT WE'RE PROPOSING TO DO IS A TRIPLEX.
A FOURPLEX DOESN'T NECESSARILY FIT ON THESE LOTS.
BECAUSE OF THE ADDITIONAL PARKING AND THE ADDITIONAL BUILDING SPACE. BUT WE HAVE FOUND IT SUCCESSFUL TO DO AND PROPOSE A TRIPLEX WITHOUT HAVING TO GO FORWARD THROUGH ANY VARIANCES OF ANY KIND.
JUST THROUGH THE THROUGH THE REZONING FOR IT.
WE WOULD LIKE TO POINT OUT THAT THE LOT JUST NORTH OF US, ACROSS FROM THE ALLEY, IS ALSO A RESIDENTIAL MULTIFAMILY.
THEY HAVE 12 UNITS JUST A BLOCK, 12 UNITS.
THAT'S THE APARTMENTS FOR THE GRADUATE, IF I'M NOT MISTAKEN.
YES. SO IT'D BE LOT ONE OUT OF THE.
YES. YEAH, THAT ONE'S A MUCH LARGER LOT, BUT IT DOES HAVE 12 UNITS.
JUST TO POINT OUT THAT THERE IS ALREADY MULTIFAMILY IN THE VICINITY FURTHER SOUTH, I MEAN, THE FOUR CORNERS OF THE KUHN, LOEB AND NINTH AND EIGHTH, THEY'RE ALL MULTIFAMILY AS WELL.
I MEAN, WE SEE THAT TREND HAPPENING THROUGHOUT THE AREA. AND THAT'S ESSENTIALLY OUR REQUEST JUST TO BE ABLE TO PROPOSE THIS SO THAT WE CAN MOVE FORWARD WITH SITE PLAN AND BUILDING PERMIT SUCCESSFULLY, HOPEFULLY, IF THIS PASSES. THANK YOU, MR. SCOTT. THANK YOU. I'LL OPEN IT UP FOR ANY PUBLIC COMMENT.
ANYONE SPEAKING IN FAVOR OR AGAINST IT, MAKE THEM UP NOW.
NO ONE HERE. SO WE'LL CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING AND I'LL OPEN IT UP FOR ANY QUESTIONS. WHAT'S THE MAIN REASON FOR DENIAL? IF IT'S TO THE NORTH IT'S MULTI-FAMILY.
TO THE SOUTH IT'S MULTIFAMILY.
WHAT'S. YES. SO THE REASON FOR THE RECOMMENDATION FOR DENIAL IS TO THE NORTH.
IT IS CURRENTLY ZONED MULTIFAMILY.
BUT YOU DO HAVE AN ESTABLISHED CHURCH THERE.
IT'S THE CHURCH CAN BE LOCATED WITHIN ANY ZONING DESIGNATION.
SO IT COULD HAVE BEEN THAT THIS WAS ALREADY ZONED AS IS. AND IT'S LOCATED ON TWO LOTS.
SO NUMBER NUMBER ONE, JUST NORTH OF IT A MULTI-FAMILY 12 UNITS.
NO, IT'S A CHURCH. OH YOU HAVE THE ONE THAT HE WAS MENTIONING IS THE ONE THAT'S LOCATED TO THE SOUTH, WHICH ARE THE APARTMENTS THAT ARE LOCATED JUST CATTY CORNER TO US.
AND LOT NUMBER ONE, BECAUSE THERE'S ALREADY A TWO STORY APARTMENT.
YES, THERE IS A TWO STORY APARTMENT THERE TO THE SOUTH, AND THAT SITS ON TWO LOTS.
YES, TO THE SOUTH IS MULTIFAMILY, CORRECT? SO THIS IS OLD EDINBURG AND YOU CAN SEE A LOT OF THESE MULTIFAMILY IS KIND OF SPREAD OUT.
SPOT ZONING. YEAH. SO I, I UNDERSTAND YOUR POINT, WHAT YOU'RE SAYING, BUT I THINK THAT GIVEN THE FLEXIBILITY THAT'S HAPPENED OVER THE YEARS, I MEAN, THAT'S SOMETHING THAT I WOULD I WOULD NOT BE AGAINST, IN MY OPINION, TO ALLOW THAT.
OKAY. READY TO MAKE A MOTION? I WOULD LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE, TO ALLOW THEM TO DO A MULTIFAMILY THERE.
[00:40:01]
OKAY. SO WE HAVE A MOTION TO APPROVE THE ZONING REQUEST.WE HAVE A SECOND. I'LL SECOND IT.

WE DO HAVE SOME OF THESE SIMILAR LOTS ALONG THE JACKSON AREA BETWEEN JACKSON AND TRENTON.

RECORDED IN VOLUME THREE, PAGE 133 DEED RECORDS HIDALGO COUNTY, TEXAS. LOCATED AT 1000 WEST ALBERTA ROAD, AS REQUESTED BY SPOHRER ENGINEERING AND CONSULTANTS, INC. STAFF.
YES, SIR. SO THIS PROPERTY IS LOCATED ON THE SOUTH SIDE OF ALBERTA ROAD, APPROXIMATELY 1300FT SOUTH OF SUGAR ROAD.
PROPERTY IS CURRENTLY ZONED RESIDENTIAL SUBURBAN.
YOU DO HAVE RESIDENTIAL SUBURBAN LOCATED TO THE NORTH AND THE EAST, COMMERCIAL GENERAL TO THE SOUTH.
ON THE WEST SIDE YOU DO HAVE A DRAINAGE DITCH WITH ACCOMPANIED BY RESIDENTIAL PRIMARY HOMES AS WELL AS SOME MULTIFAMILY REQUESTED ZONING DESIGNATION IS FOR RESIDENTIAL, URBAN, AND TOWNHOME DISTRICT.
IT IS THE HIGHEST INTENSITY OF SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL.
WE DID MAIL NOTICE TO 67 NEIGHBORING PROPERTY OWNERS, AND WE DID NOT RECEIVE NO COMMENTS IN FAVOR, BUT WE DID RECEIVE ONE COMMENT AGAINST THIS REQUEST. STAFF DOES RECOMMEND DENIAL OF THE REZONING REQUEST BASED OFF OF THE ADJOINING SURROUNDING PROPERTY USES AS WELL AS THE CHARACTER OF THE AREA.
THANK YOU. ANYONE IN THE AUDIENCE CARE TO SPEAK IN FAVOR OR AGAINST THE ITEM? YOU'RE WELCOME TO COME UP TO THE STAND. NOW. TO THE PODIUM. NONE.
WE'LL CLOSE THE FLOOR AND OPEN IT UP FOR I'VE GOT A QUESTION FOR STAFF ON THE ON THE ONE THAT'S OPPOSED. WHAT WAS THE REASON THE COMMENT THAT WE RECEIVED AGAINST.
OH, THEY WERE OPPOSED TO IT BECAUSE THEY WERE WANTING TO PRESERVE THE SUBURBAN ZONING, AND IT PROTECTS THE INFRASTRUCTURE AS WELL AS SINGLE FAMILY COMMUNITY WITHIN THE SURROUNDING AREAS. THIS IS COMING FROM LOT FROM OFF OF SHALOM DRIVE.
FROM WHICH ROAD? OFF OF SHALOM.
[00:50:02]
IT'S ABOUT THREE LOTS OVER TO THE EAST.IT'S LOCATED WITHIN THE RESIDENTIAL PRIMARY ZONING DESIGNATION ACROSS THE STREET ACROSS ALBERTA TO THE EAST, ON THE SOUTH SIDE OF ALBERTA.
LET ME PULL IT UP. SOUTH SIDE OF ALBERTA.
THE ABOUT THREE LOTS OVER TO THE EAST OFF OF SHALOM DRIVE.
IT APPEARS THE COMMENT COMES FROM.
LOT 59. RESIDENTIAL SUBURBAN TO THE EAST.
AND THEN A LITTLE BIT FURTHER DOWN, GOING EAST ON ALBERTA, YOU HAVE THE RESIDENTIAL PRIMARY, WHICH IS THE BRIGHT YELLOW. STAFF RECOMMENDS DENIAL OF THE AREA. THEY'RE WANTING RESIDENTIAL, URBAN AND TOWNHOME, WHICH IS THE HIGHEST INTENSITY OF SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL.
SO ESSENTIALLY IF YOU'RE LOOKING AT THE MAP IF THIS WAS TO BE RECOMMENDED FOR APPROVAL AND FOLLOWED THROUGH, YOU WOULD BE LOOKING AT ABOUT A LIGHT ORANGE COLOR RIGHT THERE WHERE THE PROPERTY IS OUTLINED.
SO, RITA, ALL THOSE ALL THOSE LITTLE ACROSS THE STREET OR LITTLE HOMES IN THAT 37 SHALOM, SHALOM DRIVE. YES. THOSE ARE ALL SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL HOMES.
YES. THOSE ARE ALL SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL HOMES. AND THEN YOU HAVE LIKE WHAT IS IT, SUMMER. SUMMER COURT. SUMMER WINDS OR SOMETHING? JUST ON THE WEST SIDE.
HOW HOW BIG ARE THOSE LOTS ON SHALOM DRIVE? THEY LOOK VERY SMALL. YES, THOSE LOTS I CAN FIND OUT FOR.
YOU CAN'T TELL. YOU GOT ME THERE.
THEY'RE SMALL, THOUGH. THEY'RE SMALL. WELL, THIS WAS THIS DENSITY.
THEY ARE PROPOSING FOR THE FULL SIX ACRES, AND I THINK I HAVE PROVIDED IT IN THE PACKET.
THEY ARE PROPOSING A TOTAL OF 38 RESIDENTIAL, URBAN AND TOWNHOME LOTS ALONG THE AREA.
BUT THE YOU HAVE THE STREET ALONG ONE EDGE AND THEN YOU HAVE THE RESIDENTIAL URBAN TOWNHOMES ALONG THE OTHER EDGE. NOW, MIND YOU, THIS IS JUST A PRELIMINARY SITE PLAN IS NOT A GUARANTEE THAT THEY'RE GOING TO FOLLOW THIS.
CURRENTLY WHAT WE'RE LOOKING AT IS DOES THIS RESIDENTIAL URBAN TOWNHOME FALL WITHIN THAT ZONING AREA? SO STAFF IS RECOMMENDING DENIAL BECAUSE THEY'RE JUST TOO SMALL.
YES. THE DENSITY OF THE OF THE RESIDENTIAL HOMES WITHIN THE AREA IS NOT WITHIN THE SURROUNDING AREAS, JUST ADJACENT.
YOU HAVE SOME SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL OVER THERE OFF OF JUNE COURT MARAVILLA.
AND THEN JUST A LITTLE BIT FURTHER, YOU HAVE ALSO TO THE NORTH, AS WELL AS KIND OF LIKE A MIRROR IMAGE OF THE SUBDIVISION.
ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? IF NOT, I'LL ENTERTAIN A MOTION.
MAKE A MOTION TO DENY BASED ON STAFF'S RECOMMENDATION.
WE HAVE A MOTION TO HAVE A SECOND.
ALL IN FAVOR? ALL OPPOSED? IT'S DENIED. MOVE TO ITEM G.
CONSIDER VARIANCE REQUEST TO THE CITY OF EDINBURG UNIFIED DEVELOPMENT CODE ARTICLE FOUR DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS DIVISION 4.300.
SIGNS. SECTION 4.303. PERMANENT SIGNS.
[G. Consider Variance Request to the City of Edinburg Unified Development Code Article 4,]
THE SOUTH 27.5FT OF THE NORTH 47.5FT OF LOT SIX.BLOCK 342. ORIGINAL TOWNSITE OF EDINBURG, HIDALGO COUNTY, TEXAS, ACCORDING TO THE PLAT OR MAP THEREOF.
RECORDED IN VOLUME ONE, PAGE 23.
MAP RECORDS OF HIDALGO COUNTY, TEXAS, LOCATED AT 509 SOUTH KLAUSNER BOULEVARD, AS REQUESTED BY ARNOLDO CANTU STAFF.
YES, SIR. SO THIS PROPERTY IS A SIGNED VARIANT.
THE REQUEST IS A SIGNED, SIGNED VARIANCE.
IT IS LOCATED SOUTH CLOSNER BOULEVARD BOULEVARD, APPROXIMATELY 100FT SOUTH OF PHASE STREET.
THE PROPERTY HAS A TOTAL OF ABOUT 2020 7.5FT OF FRONTAGE ALONG CLOSNER BOULEVARD.
FOR A TOTAL AREA OF 0.08 OF AN ACRE.
PROPERTY IS CURRENTLY ZONED COMMERCIAL GENERAL.
THE SURROUNDING AREA IS COMMERCIAL GENERAL.
TO THE NORTH, EAST AND SOUTH AND WEST IN ALL DIRECTIONS.
SO WHAT THE APPLICANT IS PROPOSING IS A STANDALONE POLE SIGN, AND IT IS ROUGHLY ABOUT 35FT HIGH FROM NATURAL GROUND WITH ABOUT 120FT², BASED OFF OF THE REQUIREMENTS OF THE UNIFIED DEVELOPMENT CODE.
THEY ARE PROPOSING A SIGN THAT EXCEEDS THE SQUARE FOOTAGE BY ABOUT 35FT².
WE DID NOTICE IT IS A PUBLIC HEARING TO THE SURROUNDING PROPERTY OWNERS, AND WE DIDN'T RECEIVE ANY COMMENTS IN FAVOR OR AGAINST THIS REQUEST AT THE TIME OF THE REPORT. STAFF DOES RECOMMEND DENIAL OF THE VARIANCE REQUEST BASED OFF OF THE
[00:55:03]
REQUIREMENTS OF THE UNIFIED DEVELOPMENT CODE. RITA, WHEN I READ THIS, THE THE ITEM SAYS A PROPOSED 120 FOOT SQUARE FOOT SIGN WOULD EXCEED WOULD BE EXCEEDING THE MAXIMUM SIZE OF 35FT², NOT BY 35FT². SO IS IT IS IT BY 35FT² OR OR IS 35 THE MAXIMUM THAT'S REQUIRED THERE? I SEE THE GENTLEMAN STANDING UP IN THE 35FT² IS A MAXIMUM THAT IS ALLOWED ALONG ALONG THE HIGHWAY. ALONG FOR THAT SIZE A LOT.SO THIS IS 125, 120 FOOT, 120FT² REQUESTED.
SO IT'S IT'S EXCEEDING IT BY 85, 85FT.
OKAY. SO YOU'RE ONLY ALLOWED LIKE A SIX BY SIX SIGN, WHICH IS THE SIZE OF THAT TV ACCORDING TO THE FRONT.
HAVE YOU SEEN THE BUILDING? YEAH, THERE'S A PICTURE RIGHT THERE.
YEAH. THAT'S IT. LET'S OPEN IT UP TO PUBLIC COMMENT.
ANYONE WISHING TO SPEAK IN FAVOR OR AGAINST, PLEASE COME UP.
YES. GOOD EVENING. MY NAME IS ARNOLDO CANTU, AND I'M HERE REPRESENTING THE SIGN COMPANY THAT'S BEEN CONTRACTED FOR THIS JOB.
YES, SIR. SO. YEAH, IT IT'S ONLY ALLOWED 35 SQUARE FOOT BECAUSE OF THE.
SO BECAUSE OF THE UNUSUAL SIZE OF IT, WE'RE ONLY ALLOWED 35FT².
BUT THAT WOULD MEAN LIKE A FOUR BY EIGHT SIGN, LIKE A POLITICAL SIGN.
ONCE YOU PUT THAT UP IN THE AIR, IT'S GOING TO LOOK SILLY.
SO YES, BECAUSE OF THE LOT, IT SEEMS BIG.
BUT REALLY WHAT WE WANT TO DO IS A TEN BY 12 SIGN WHICH WOULD 30FT, 30FT UP IN THE AIR. IT'S NOT IT'S NOT A BILLBOARD OR ANYTHING.
IT'S VERY NORMAL, ESPECIALLY ON THAT ROAD ON KLAUSSNER.
JUST THE BUSINESS NEXT TO THEM.
THEY HAVE ONE ABOUT THE SAME TIME, ABOUT THE SAME SIZE.
SO WE DESIGNED IT ACCORDING TO WHAT'S AROUND THE AREA.
WHAT'S THE NAME OF THE BUSINESS? THAT'S THAT'S THE YOU SAID IT'S BIG.
THAT'S NORTH OF THERE. A A TAX OR A-MAX INSURANCE.
ALSO INSURANCE COMPANY? YEAH. ALSO I HAD INCLUDED ON THE VARIANCE.
IT'S ALSO WHERE WE WANT TO PUT THE POLE BECAUSE THE LOT IS VERY NARROW.
I THINK IT CALLS FOR TEN FOOT FROM THE PROPERTY LINE ON BOTH SIDES.
AND THAT PUTS THE POLE LIKE RIGHT AT THE ENTRANCE.
SO WE WERE ALSO ASKING FOR A FIVE FOOT FROM BOTH SIDES.
AND THAT PUTS IT AROUND WHERE THAT GRAY GRAY LITTLE SIDEWALK IS, WHERE ACTUALLY THERE WAS ALREADY A SIGN THERE THAT HAD BEEN CUT OFF.
AND IF YOU LOOK AT THE PROPERTY NEXT TO IT, IT ALIGNS RIGHT TO IT.
SO THE TEN FOOT PUTS IT LIKE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE PARKING LOT.
AND, AND THE STAFF HAD ALREADY THEY HAD ALREADY APPROVED THE FIVE FOOT FROM THE SIDEWALK FROM THE SIDE.
IT WAS JUST WHEN THEY APPROVED THE HEIGHT TOO.
JUST BECAUSE OF THE SIZE OF THE BUILDING. THE MEDICAL PLAZA NEXT TO IT IS PRETTY BIG, BUT THE ONE ON THAT PICTURE.
BUT IT HAS SEVERAL BUSINESSES ON IT, RIGHT? IT MAY HAVE MORE FRONTAGE TOO.
AND YOU HAVE MORE FRONTAGE. YEAH. THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU. ANYONE ELSE WISHING TO SPEAK IN FAVOR AGAINST THE ITEM? HELLO, RAOUL LA PALMA.
I WORKED THERE AND SO PRETTY MUCH THIS IS THE THING YOU KNOW, THE THE LOTS UNIQUE. IT'S IT'S IT'S A SMALL LOT.
AND BASICALLY THE ORDINANCE, IT DISCRIMINATES AGAINST PEOPLE THAT CAN'T AFFORD BIG LOTS, RIGHT? AND ESSENTIALLY YOU KNOW, THAT'S WHAT WE'RE MAKING THE REQUEST.
IT'S NOT LIKE A RECORD, YOU KNOW, SIZE OF A SIGN.
IT'S VERY SIMILAR TO WHAT'S ON KLAUSNER.
THEY'RE THE ON KLAUSNER AND FREDDY THE DENTIST GROUP.
BIGGER SIGN THAN WHAT WE'RE REQUESTING.
VERY SIMILAR. RIGHT. OF COURSE, THEY HAVE BIGGER LOTS.
RIGHT. AND I GET IT. SO THAT'S THE REASON FOR THE REQUEST, IS THAT, YOU KNOW, OUR BUILDING IS UNIQUE IN THE SENSE THAT IT'S PUSHED BACK.
AND SO WHEN WE'RE COVERED BY THE AMEX, PEOPLE CALL US LIKE, HEY, WE CAN'T FIND YOUR BUILDING. AND SO THAT'S THE REASON FOR THE SIGN IS SO THAT, YOU KNOW, WE'RE A LITTLE MORE ACCESSIBLE FROM BOTH SIDES.
AND AGAIN, IT'S NOT LIKE A RECORD SIZE.
AND ANOTHER THING TOO IS THAT, YOU KNOW, IF WE'RE SAYING,
[01:00:03]
HEY, YOU KNOW WHAT? IT'S A SKINNY LOT.OUR NEXT DOOR NEIGHBORS HAS THE EXACT SAME LOT, RIGHT? SIMILAR LOT. AND THEY HAVE THE EXACT SAME TYPE OF SIGN.
SO I JUST WANTED TO MAKE THOSE COMMENTS.
AND ESSENTIALLY, YOU KNOW, I MEAN, JUST BECAUSE THE LOT SMALL, WE'RE SAYING, HEY, YOU KNOW, AND SOMEONE THAT CAN'T AFFORD A BIGGER LOT, RIGHT. WE'RE SAYING, HEY, LET'S, YOU KNOW, THE STAFF HAS RECOMMENDED AGAINST THAT. AGAIN, YOU KNOW, I'M IN FAVOR OF IT OF GETTING IT PASSED.
AND THERE WAS ALSO A SIGN THERE THAT WAS ALREADY THERE BEFORE WE BOUGHT THE PROPERTY.
AND AS THERE'S ALREADY BEEN A SIGN THERE.
AND ANOTHER THING, TOO, LIKE THE GENTLEMAN HAD MENTIONED, IS THAT THEY'RE PROPOSING FROM THE PROPERTY LINE.
THEY WANT EIGHT FEET. EIGHT FEET, IF YOU LOOK AT IT FROM THE AERIAL, PUTS IT RIGHT SMACK TO THE ENTRANCE.
AND SO IF SOMEONE COMES AND TURNS IN, THEY'RE GOING TO HIT THE POLE.
AND SO SAFETY WISE, IT JUST DOESN'T MAKE SENSE.
AND SO I WANT TO PROPOSE, YOU KNOW, LIKE THE GENTLEMAN MENTIONED, YOU KNOW, FIVE FEET FROM THE PROPERTY LINE. THAT'S ESSENTIALLY WHERE THAT OLD SPOT IS AT WHERE THE EXISTING OLD.
I THINK HE SAID. I THINK MR. CANTU SAID THEY HAD ALREADY ACCEPTED THAT.
THE STAFF IS IS THAT ACCEPTED ON THE FIVE FOOT DISTANCE? THE UDC READS THAT THEY CAN BE TEN FEET FROM THE EDGE OF THE STREET.
SO THE LOCATION THAT'S BEING PROPOSED WOULD COMPLY WITH WITH THE WAY THE UDC READS.
OKAY. SHOULD BE OKAY WITH THAT.
OKAY. MR.. YEAH. WELL, THAT'S THAT'S ALL I HAVE.
THANK YOU FOR HEARING ME OUT. APPRECIATE IT. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. SO IF THESE LOTS ARE SOLD INDIVIDUALLY AND AND YOU'VE GOT FIVE SUB FIVE LOTS IN THERE, YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE FIVE FEET, FIVE SIZE, 35FT IN THE AIR AND 120FT².
AND HOW MANY MORE LOTS ARE THERE? THERE'S FIVE. FIVE TOTAL COMBINED INTO ONE.
WELL, IDEALLY IT WOULD BE BEST IF YOU HAD LIKE A TENANT SIGN WHERE YOU COULD HAVE MULTIPLE BUSINESS ON THERE.
BUT I GUESS ONE OF THE THINGS THAT THE UDC IS TRYING TO DO IS TO ELIMINATE SIGN CLUTTER.
YOU DON'T WANT ALL THESE HUGE SIGNS IN A LITTLE SHORT AREA.
SO THAT'S WHY I GUESS THE LIMIT IS IN PLACE.
THAT'S WHAT THE REASON FOR DENIAL. THERE'S VACANT LOTS.
I THINK THERE'S ONLY ONE VACANT LOT ON THIS MAP RIGHT HERE.
IT SAYS THAT THERE'S ONLY ONE VACANT LOT AND ANOTHER ONE, WHICH I'M NOT SURE IF IT'S VACANT OR NOT.
I DON'T KNOW ABOUT SEVEN, BUT.
YEAH, SEVEN EIGHT AND FOUR FOUR.
I DON'T KNOW IF THAT BELONGS TO YOU OR NOT.
THAT'S SEVEN. SEVEN IS THE INSURANCE COMPANY IS THE INSURANCE COMPANY, AND THEN THE SIX IS THE ONE THEY'RE PROPOSING.
AND THEN YOU HAVE THAT FOUR AND FOUR.
THE ONE NEXT TO THEIRS THAT'S STILL I MEAN THAT'S STILL FOUR FOUR SIGNS THERE THAT YOU HAVE. I MEAN MOST OF THOSE LOTS VARY IN SIZE.
THERE'S THERE'S VERY FEW OF THE SMALL ONES IF YOU LOOK AT THE AT THE MAP, BUT THERE IS SOME SMALL ONES THAT HAVE MORE SIGNS.
YEAH. BUT THERE IS LIKE YOU SAID, I HAVEN'T SEEN THE INSURANCE COMPANY SIGN, BUT HE'S SAYING THAT IT'S ABOUT THE SAME SIZE JUST RIGHT NEXT TO IT.
PRIOR TO THE UDC IN 2022, THEY IT'S MY UNDERSTANDING THAT THEY DID ALLOW FOR LARGER SIGNS ALONG KLAUSNER.
THEY DID. THEY DID PREVIOUSLY.
BEFORE. WHAT CAUSED THE CHANGE? THE NEW UDC CHANGED IT.
BUT THE RATIONALE WAS IT THE CONSULTANT WAS IT COULD HAVE BEEN A COMBINATION DEVELOPER'S STATISTIC. LESS CLUTTER, LESS CLUTTER, LESS CLUTTER.
I DIDN'T CLOSE THE DID I? NOT CLOSE? NO, I DIDN'T CLOSE THE PUBLIC COMMENT.
I'LL DO THAT NOW. I'LL ENTERTAIN A MOTION.
WE'VE ALREADY BEEN DISCUSSION, RIGHT? UNLESS YOU HAVE SOME MORE DISCUSSION.
YOU TALK. I MOTION TO APPROVE THE SIGN AS THEY'RE PROPOSING.
I'M OKAY WITH IT, SINCE WE ALREADY HAVE ASSIGNED THAT SIZE NEXT TO IT AND THE LOT NEXT TO IT HASN'T BEEN PURCHASED, OR THERE'S NO PLANNING ON IT.
THAT'S A MOTION. YOU HAVE A MOTION TO APPROVE TO APPROVE THE VARIANCE REQUEST.
I'LL SECOND IT. WE HAVE A MOTION A SECOND.
ALL IN FAVOR? ALL OPPOSED? RUBY. OKAY. THEN YOU VOTED? YES. OKAY. THEN IT PASSES.

THE APPLICANT IS ASKING FOR A REQUEST FOR ON PREMISE CONSUMPTION OF ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGES FOR LATE HOURS. THEY ARE PROPOSING A LOCATION CALLED FIDENCIO, OPEN MONDAY THROUGH SUNDAY FROM 11 A.M.
TO ABOUT 2 A.M. WE DID RECEIVE THE APPLICATION ON MAY 13TH, AND WE DID MAIL NOTICE TO THE SURROUNDING PROPERTY OWNERS 56 OF THEM, AND RECEIVED NO COMMENTS IN FAVOR OR AGAINST THIS REQUEST.
AT THE TIME OF THE REPORT WE DID RECEIVE A MENU, AND IT HAS BEEN PROVIDED TO THE BOARD ON THE DAIS.
AND STAFF DOES RECOMMEND APPROVAL OF THE SPECIAL USE PERMIT BASED OFF OF THE LOCATION.
AND I DO RECALL THAT THERE WAS A PREVIOUS RESTAURANT WITHIN THE AREA AS WELL.
OKAY. I'LL OPEN UP THE ITEM FOR ANY PUBLIC COMMENTS FOR OR AGAINST.
IF THERE ARE NONE, THEN I'LL CLOSE THE OPEN PORTION AND MOVE ON TO A ENTERTAIN A MOTION.
MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE BASED ON STAFF'S RECOMMENDATION.
WE HAVE A MOTION TO HAVE A SECOND.
SECOND. WE HAVE A MOTION A SECOND.
MOTION CARRIES. AND. NINE A IS A VARIANCE REQUEST.
CONSIDER VARIANCE REQUEST TO THE CITY OF EDINBURG. UNIFIED DEVELOPMENT CODE ARTICLE FIVE SUBDIVISION STANDARDS, SECTION 5.203.
[A. Consider Variance Request to the City of Edinburg Unified Development Code Article 5,]
TABLE 5.23-1 RIGHT OF WAY WIDTHS BEING A SUBDIVISION OF A TRACT OF LAND CONTAINING 4.002 ACRES SITUATED IN THE CITY OF EDINBURG, HIDALGO COUNTY, TEXAS, BEING A PART OR PORTION OUT OF LOT 20.KELLY-PHARR SUBDIVISION LOCATED AT 3420 SOUTH BUSINESS HIGHWAY 281, AS REQUESTED BY MELVIN AND HUNT.
YES. BOARD. THE DEVELOPER AND MELVIN HUTS ARE PROPOSING 19 LOTS.
IT'S A LONG, BUT IT'S NOT VERY WIDE IN WIDTH.
THE FIRST COMMERCIAL LOT WILL FRONT OF BUSINESS.
KLAUSNER AND THE OTHER 18 INTERNAL LOTS WILL HAVE A ROAD ON THE SOUTH SIDE.
AND WHAT THE DEVELOPER IS REQUESTING IS TO REDUCE THE RIGHT OF WAY WIDTH FROM THE TYPICAL 50FT, 50FT OF RIGHT OF WAY THAT WE TYPICALLY ASK FOR ROAD TO 40FT.
HE IS STILL GOING TO BE PAVING THE ROAD 32FT BACK TO BACK.
BUT HE'S REQUESTING THAT THE RIGHT OF WAY ONLY BE 40FT TOTAL WIDTH.
STAFF IS AGAINST IT BECAUSE IT DOES MAKE IT HARD FOR CITY CREWS TO GO IN THERE AND MAKE REPAIRS IN THE FUTURE SHOULD THEY NEED TO GO IN THERE AND AND FIX AND REPAIR A WATER OR OR SEWER LINE. BUT I BELIEVE A REPRESENTATIVE FROM MELTON AND HUTT IS HERE TODAY IN THE AUDIENCE. MR. MARLIN. GOOD AFTERNOON AGAIN.
BOARD. SO YES, WE ARE REQUESTING TO DO A 40 FOOT RIGHT OF WAY INSTEAD OF YOUR TYPICAL 50.
WE ARE STILL PROPOSING TO DO A 32 BACK TO BACK ROAD TO CUL DE SAC 55 FOOT RADIUS, AS REQUIRED FOR FOR SAFETY, FOR FIRE AND SOLID WASTE.
THE REASON FOR THE REQUEST, THOUGH, IS MAINLY BECAUSE OUR UTILITIES, THE WATER AND SEWER LINES, IN ORDER TO BE ABLE TO PROVIDE YOUR NINE FOOT SEPARATION FROM ONE UTILITY TO THE OTHER WE WANT TO SHIFT THE ROADWAY AS FAR SOUTH AS POSSIBLE SO THAT WE CAN FIT BOTH UTILITIES ON THE NORTH SIDE OF THE ROAD.
AND THEN WE WOULD BE PROPOSING THE SIDEWALK ON ON THAT PORTION AS WELL.
SO INSTEAD OF YOUR REQUIRED TEN FOOT UTILITY EASEMENT WE'D BE DOING A PROPOSING A 15 FOOT UTILITY EASEMENT SO THAT WE CAN FIT BOTH UTILITIES WITHIN IT'S APPROPRIATE SPACING.
THAT'S REALLY THE NATURE OF THE REQUEST.
THE THE ROAD IS STILL GOING TO BE, YOU KNOW, YOU'RE REQUIRED 32 BACK TO BACK.
IT'S JUST A WE CAN ACCOMMODATE THE UTILITIES MORE THAN ANYTHING. SO IT'S THE SAME ROAD, SAME 32 FOOT, WHICH IS THE STANDARD SPEC.
CORRECT? YOU'RE JUST SHIFTING THE ROAD TO THE SOUTH ON THE PROPERTY LINE.
HAVE NO RIGHT OF WAY ON THE SOUTH SIDE.
CORRECT. YOU HAVE ALL UTILITIES ON THE NORTH SIDE, CORRECT? YES.
AND SO WE WOULD BE LEAVING, I THINK LIKE A FOOT OR TWO FEET FROM THE PROPERTY LINE ON THE SOUTH SIDE.
JUST BECAUSE YOUR CURB NOT TO BE ALL THE WAY UP AGAINST THE PROPERTY LINE.
BUT OTHER THAN THAT, WE ARE PROPOSING IT AS FAR SOUTH AS WE CAN FOR THE RIGHT OF WAY, JUST SO WE CAN SHIFT THAT ROADWAY AS SOUTH AS POSSIBLE.
WITHIN THAT REQUIREMENT, I THINK, ON THE, ON THE VARIANCE REQUEST WAS ALSO NOT HAVING TO BUILD A SIDEWALK ON BOTH SIDES OF THE ROADWAY FOR THE SAME REASON.
[01:10:01]
ISN'T SINCE THERE IS NO LOTS ON THE SOUTH SIDE.ALL THE PEDESTRIAN TRAFFIC, IF ANY, WOULD BE ON THE NORTH SIDE WITH THE LOTS. WE'RE ONLY PROPOSING SIDEWALK ON THE NORTH SIDE.
BUT YOU'RE STILL GOING TO BUILD THE SIDEWALK ON THE NORTH SIDE, CORRECT? BECAUSE YOU WON'T HAVE ANY SPACE ON THE SOUTH SIDE.
CORRECT. OKAY. AND THIS IS BECAUSE OF THE, I GUESS, WIDTH OF THE. YEAH. IT'S A VERY NARROW LOT.
YEAH. SO AFTER THE LOTS AND AND THE ROADWAY IT MAKES IT VERY COMPLICATED EITHER TO BUILD ON THOSE LOTS OR TO FIT THE UTILITIES APPROPRIATELY.
WE LOOKED AT POSSIBLY DOING, LIKE, A UTILITY EASEMENT ON THE PROPERTIES ON THE SOUTH, BUT THERE'S ALREADY HOMES AND BUSINESSES THERE. IT JUST DIDN'T SEEM VERY FEASIBLE. HOW WIDE ARE YOUR LOTS? WE ARE PROPOSING 45 FOOT LOTS.
SO THEY WOULD BE DETACHED, DETACHED TOWNHOMES.
OKAY. JUST ONE ENTRANCE IN AND OUT.
CORRECT. AND IT WOULD BE A PRIVATE PRIVATE SUBDIVISION.
YES. YEAH, WE WILL BE WE WILL BE DOING GATING.
WE ARE WORKING ON REDESIGNING THE ENTRANCE.
SO LOT ONE IS GOING TO BE A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENT JUST FOR THE PRIVATE GATE ENTRANCE DETAIL. THAT'S REQUIRED BY, BY CITY STANDARDS.
SO WE WOULDN'T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT MAINTENANCE AND UPKEEP ON THAT ROAD.
CORRECT. IT WOULD BE PRIVATE ROAD, WHICH WE NEED AN HOA REGARDLESS, BECAUSE WE HAVE A DETENTION POND IN THE REAR OF THE PROPERTY.
RIGHT. BUT IT'S GOING TO BE PRIVATE.
IT'S GOING TO BE GATED. YOU'LL TAKE CARE OF THE ROAD. YOU'LL TAKE CARE OF THE SIDEWALK.
YOU'LL CUT THE GRASS. CORRECT.
WHY STAFF DENYING IT? THE CITY IS STILL RESPONSIBLE FOR THE UTILITIES.
SO ANYTIME YOU REDUCE THE RIGHT OF WAY AND YOU STICK THE WATER AND SEWER LINES IN A REALLY TIGHT SPACE, IT'S HARD FOR CITY CREWS TO GO IN THERE AND MAKE ANY MAKING REPAIRS IN THE FUTURE. DOES IT STILL HAVE THE REQUIRED NINE FOOT SEPARATION BY T-C-E-Q? YES IT DOES. YES. YOU WOULD BE PROPOSING THE UTILITIES TO STILL, YOU KNOW, THAT'S THE REASON FOR THE REQUEST IS SO THAT WE HAVE THOSE NINE FEET.
AND THE REASON FOR THE THE INCREASE THE UTILITY EASEMENT FROM 10 TO 15 HORIZONTALLY.
HOW HOW FAR AWAY ARE THEY? THE WHAT? THE WATER AND SEWER.
OH, WE HAVE THEM EXACTLY AT THE NINE FEET. SEPARATION FROM FROM EDGE OF PIPE TO EDGE OF PIPE. AND SO THOSE THOSE UTILITY LINES ARE ACTUALLY REQUIRED TO GO IN THE UTILITY EASEMENT, NOT IN THE RIGHT OF WAY. SO WE HAVE THAT WE HAVE A PROPOSED THAT INSTEAD OF HAVING MAYBE TEN FOOT UTILITY, YOU MAYBE HAVE 15 OR 2015, WHICH IS WHAT WE'RE PROPOSING. AND SO THAT THAT GIVES YOU THE SPACE TO ONE RUN THE WATER AND THE SEWER AND LEAVE THE SERVICES IN THAT AREA.
BUT YES, IT FUNCTIONALLY IT WORKS.
THOSE 15FT OF THE UTILITY EASEMENT IS STILL LESS THAN WHAT'S REQUIRED FOR THE FRONT SETBACK ANYWAYS. SO THAT'S WHY WE WE PROPOSED THE 15 IN THIS CASE.
THANK YOU. NOW THEY'RE ALSO REQUESTING A VARIANCE ON THE SIDEWALKS THAT WOULD BE ON THE SOUTH SIDE OF THE ROAD. SO WE HAVE TWO ITEMS ON THIS.
THIS WOULD BE TWO ITEMS FOR THE WIDTH AND FOR THE DO WE TAKE IT AS TWO OR WE TAKE IT AS ONE. TAKE IT AS TWO. YOU CAN TAKE THEM SEPARATELY.
SEPARATE. OKAY. I MEAN, YOU GOT TO HAVE BOTH OF THEM ACTUALLY FOR IT TO FUNCTION BECAUSE YOU CAN'T PUT A SIDEWALK ON THE SOUTH SIDE IF THERE'S NO LAND.
OKAY. SO LET'S LET'S START WITH THE ONE WITH THE RIGHT OF WAY WIDTHS.
WE'LL ENTERTAIN A MOTION FOR THAT ONE.
I'LL MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE.
SECOND, HAVE A MOTION IN A SECOND.
THAT PASSES. AND THE SECOND ONE WOULD BE ON THE ON THE SIDEWALKS JUST ON ONE SIDE OF THE STREET, THE SIDEWALK REQUIREMENTS.
I'LL MAKE THE SAME MOTION TO APPROVE AGAINST STAFF'S RECOMMENDATION.
WE'LL MAKE. WE HAVE A MOTION A SECOND.
OKAY, THAT'S ALL OF OUR ITEMS FOR THIS EVENING.
IT'S ALL YOURS. THAT'S CORRECT.
UNDER DIRECTOR'S REPORT, THE ONLY THING THAT I HAVE HAVE FOR REZONINGS THAT WENT TO THE COUNCIL AT THE LAST CITY COUNCIL MEETING WANTED TO REPORT WHAT THOSE
[10. DIRECTOR’S REPORT]
WHAT THOSE ACTIONS WERE BY THE CITY COUNCIL. THE FIRST ONE WAS FOR THE MULTIFAMILY AT AT 115 SOUTH EIGHTH STREET.I DON'T KNOW IF YOU RECALL, THAT WAS SOUTH EIGHTH STREET OR EIGHTH AVENUE.
