THEIR REQUEST IS FROM GRCO AND MF TWO TO GRMU AND THE STAFF RECOMMENDS GRMU COMMUNITY COMMERCIAL MIXED USE COMBINING DISTRICT ZONING FOR THIS PROPERTY.
SO THE PROPERTY IN QUESTION CONSISTS OF TWO TRACKS THAT MAKE UP 7.6 ACRES OF LAND.
THAT TRACK ONE IS A 1.85 ACRE UNDEVELOPED AREA THAT IS ZONED GRCO AND THAT RUNS ONTO WEST PALMER.
LANE TRACK TWO IS A 5.75 ACRE LOT THAT IS CURRENTLY DEVELOPED WITH A RELIGIOUS ASSEMBLY USE WITH DETENTION POND AND SURFACE PARKING THAT IS ZONED MF TWO THAT ACCESS ACCESSES.
SCOFIELD FARMS DRIVE THE LOT TO THE NORTH AT THE SOUTHWEST CORNER OF PARER LANE IN SCOFIELD DRIVE IS ZONE GR AND IS DEVELOPED WITH A FINANCIAL SERVICES USE FURTHER TO THE NORTH ACROSS WEST PALMER LANE.
[00:05:01]
A RETAIL SHOPPING CENTER WITH A FOOD SALES USE THAT IS ZONE GR TO THE SOUTH.THERE IS SF TWO ZONED AREA THAT IS UNDEVELOPED THE LOTS TO THE EAST ACROSS SCOFIELD FARMS DRIVE ARE DEVELOPED WITH ASSISTED LIVING USE ZONED LO AND A PRIMARY PUBLIC SCHOOL THAT IS ZONED MF TWO AND SF ONE.
THE LOTS TO THE WEST CONTAIN DUPLEX RESIDENCES ZONED SF THREE.
IN THIS REQUEST, THE APPLICANT IS ASKING TO REZONE BOTH TRACKS TO GRMU TO ALLOW FOR A MULTIFAMILY PROJECT.
THE STAFF RECOMMENDS THE APPLICANT'S REQUEST FOR G COMMUNITY COMMERCIAL MIXED JUICE COMBINING DISTRICT ZONING.
THE PROPERTY MEETS THE INTENT OF THE DISTRICT AS IT IS ACCESSIBLE FOR MAJOR HIGH ARTERIAL HIGHWAY AND A COLLECTOR ROADWAY.
THE PROPOSED ZONING IS COMPATIBLE WITH THE COMMERCIAL AND OFFICE ZONING DESIGNATIONS TO THE NORTHEAST AND WEST.
GRMU ZONING WILL PERMIT THE APPLICANT TO DEVELOP THIS SITE WITH A MIXTURE OF USES, INCLUDING RESIDENTIAL USES THAT WILL PROVIDE FOR ADDITIONAL HOUSING OPPORTUNITIES IN THIS AREA.
IN SERVICES IN THIS AREA OF THE CITY, THERE IS ACCESS TO PUBLIC TRANSIT IN THE VICINITY AS THERE ARE CAPITAL MESS OR METRO BUS ROUTES AND STOPS ALONG METRIC BOULEVARD TO THE WEST.
THE SITE UNDER CONSIDERATION IS ADJACENT TO THE PALM LANE ACTIVITY CORRIDOR AND IS WITHIN 0.5 MILES UP FROM A RECREATION AREA, WALNUT CREEK METROPOLITAN PARK.
AND I'M HERE TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS YOU MAY HAVE.
WE WILL HEAR FROM THE APPLICANT.
IN THE SPIRIT OF KEEPING THINGS MOVING, THE APPLICANT AGREES TOTALLY WITH THE STAFF RECOMMENDATION.
IT'S MODERNIZING THE ZONING AT THIS INTERSECTION FOR MORE HOUSING AND BE HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS YOU MIGHT HAVE.
DO WE HAVE ANY OTHER SPEAKERS IN SUPPORT FROM THAT? WE'LL HEAR FROM SPEAKERS IN OPPOSITION.
LOOKS LIKE WE HAVE DEAN OSTER.
ACTUALLY CHAIR, WE HAD ONE VIRTUAL SPEAKER IN FAVOR.
BUT IT LOOKS LIKE B BRENDAN IS NOT HERE.
SO WE'RE GONNA MOVE ON TO DIANE KERNS.
AND DIANE IS GONNA BE RECEIVING THREE MINUTES OF DONATED TIME FROM DEAN OSTER WHEEL.
DIANE, YOU WILL HAVE NINE MINUTES.
WHERE WOULD YOU LIKE US AT? THE D HERE? YES.
IF YOU JUST STATE YOUR NAME AND YOU GET STARTED.
UM, IF IT'S ALL RIGHT WITH YOU, I WOULD LIKE TO LET MY SON, DEAN OSTER, WHILE SPEAK FIRST.
HE HAS A STATEMENT THAT I WILL TAKE THE REST OF HIS TIME.
WE HAVE DEAN DONATING TIME TO YOU.
CORRECT? UM, WE GENERALLY DON'T HAVE THEM DONATE TIME AND TALK, SO IF YOU WANT SO MIND TOTAL IS STILL YEAH.
SO THEN I, I WILL USE MY TIME TO READ THE STATEMENT.
FOR DEAN OSTERWEIL AND DEAN OSTERWEIL WILL STAND NEXT TO ME.
I JUST, I CAN'T HAVE HIM DONATE TIME AND TALK BOTH COM COMPLETELY FINE.
DEAN IS, HAS MULTIPLE DISABILITIES.
WHICH IS WHY I'M GOING TO READ A STATEMENT.
WE DIDN'T HAVE TIME TO TRY AND FIGURE OUT HOW TO
PUT IT INTO A COMMUNICATION DEVICE SO HE COULD, IT COULD SPEAK FOR HIM.
UM, I'M GOING TO READ A STATEMENT ON BEHALF OF DEAN OAL AND THEN I'LL READ MY STATEMENT, WHICH I BELIEVE, UM, YOU HAVE AN EARLIER VERSION IN, UH, THE DOCUMENTATION.
MY NAME IS DEAN OSTERWEIL AND I LIVE AT 1705 SHAG BARK TRAIL.
I HAVE MULTIPLE DISABILITIES INCLUDING CEREBRAL PALSY AND BLINDNESS.
I HAVE ASKED MY MOTHER TO READ THIS STATEMENT AND THEN I DEFER THE REST OF MY TIME TO HER.
I USE A WHEELCHAIR FOR MOBILITY.
SIDEWALKS ARE VERY IMPORTANT TO PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES BECAUSE IT KEEPS US SEPARATE AND SAFE FROM MOTOR VEHICLES AND BICYCLES.
THE STREET I LIVE ON HAS A LOT OF TRAFFIC AND NO SIDEWALKS, AND IT IS NOT VERY WIDE.
IF I WANT TO LEAVE MY HOUSE AND TRAVEL DOWN MY STREET IN MY WHEELCHAIR TO GO TO WALNUT CREEK OR TO RESTAURANTS AND STORES, I RISK GETTING INJURED BECAUSE I MUST DRIVE MY WHEELCHAIR IN THE STREET.
ALONG WITH MOTOR VEHICLES, I MAY NOT BE ABLE TO GET OUT OF THE WAY FAST ENOUGH BECAUSE I DRIVE SLOW AND I AM BLIND.
THERE ARE NO STREETLIGHTS ON MY STREET.
IF I AM OUT PAST DUSK, THE RISK
[00:10:01]
OF ME GETTING HIT IN MY WHEELCHAIR GROW EXPONENTIALLY BECAUSE NO ONE CAN SEE ME.STREET LIGHTS MAKE IT SAFE FOR EVERYONE AND I THINK THEY SHOULD BE INSTALLED ON SHAG BARK TRAIL.
I DO NOT WANT MORE TRAFFIC IN MY NEIGHBORHOOD OR ON MY STREET UNLESS THERE ARE SIDEWALKS AND STREETLIGHTS BECAUSE IT WILL MAKE IT EVEN MORE DANGEROUS FOR ME TO LEAVE MY HOUSE.
I DO NOT WANT THIS APARTMENT BUILDING TO BE BUILT ON MY STREET UNLESS CITY GOVERNMENT DOES THEIR PART TO MAKE IT SAFE FOR ME, MY FAMILY AND NEIGHBORS.
HELLO, MY NAME IS DIANE KERNS.
I LIVE AT 1705 SHAG BARK TRAIL.
UM, I LIVE THERE WITH MY HUSBAND, MY THREE KIDS, TWO DOGS AND A CAT.
UM, IT'S BORDERED BY RUNNING BIRD LANE ON THE WEST IN SCHOFIELD, UH, SCHOFIELD FARMS DRIVE ON THE EAST.
I DO WANT TO CLARIFY A STATEMENT THAT WAS MADE ABOUT THE FACT THAT, AND I'M ASSUMING IT'S SHAG BARK TRAIL BECAUSE THAT IS ON THE SOUTHERN END OF THE PROPERTY.
IT, IT, THERE ARE A NUMBER OF DUPLEXES, BUT THERE ARE ALSO SINGLE FAMILY HOMES.
SO I JUST WANT THAT CLARIFIED.
SHAG BARK TRAIL IS CUT THROUGH STREET.
UH, CARS OFTEN SPEED SIGNIFICANTLY WELL ABOVE THE 25 MILE AN HOUR SPEED LIMIT, ESPECIALLY DURING PEAK TRAFFIC HOURS.
WE ALSO HAVE SIT, UH, SCHOOL BUSES THAT GO INTO RIVER OAKS ELEMENTARY THAT GO DOWN SHAG BARK TRAIL.
IN THE FIVE YEARS WE HAVE LIVED ON THE STREET, THREE CARS PARKED IN FRONT OF OUR HOUSE WERE HIT.
UM, IN THE DOCUMENTATION, I NOTE THE A PD REPORTS JULY 11TH, 2024.
SO NOT TOO LONG AGO, A CAR SPEEDING DOWN, RUNNING BIRD LANE TURNED RIGHT ONTO SHAG BARK TRAIL AT GOING SUCH A SPEED, IT HIT A CAR FLIPPED OVER ONTO ITS ROOF.
FORTUNATELY, NO ONE WAS INJURED REMARKABLY, UM, AND THERE WAS A, AN ESTATE SALE GOING ON, WHICH IS WHY THE DRIVER WAS DISTRACTED.
THEY WERE LOOKING AT, AT SOME OF THE STUFF ON THE CURB.
SO THERE WERE A NUMBER OF PEOPLE.
SO AGAIN, LOTS OF PEOPLE IN THE STREET, NO SIDEWALKS, AND A SPEEDING CAR THAT FLIPPED OVER ONTO, ITS ONTO ITS ROOF.
SHAG BARK TRAIL WAS DEVELOPED IN THE 1970S BEFORE THE AREA WAS PART OF THE CITY OF AUSTIN.
MANY CARS ARE PARKED ON THE STREET THROUGHOUT THE DAY.
KIDS AND ADULTS WALK THEIR DOGS RIDE THEIR BIKES DOWN THE MIDDLE OF OUR, OF OUR STREET AS A MEANS TO GET FROM THE NEIGHBORHOOD TO THE SCHOOL OR TO WALNUT CREEK PARK.
OUR STREET DEAD ENDS INTO RIVER OAKS ELEMENTARY SCHOOL, WHICH IS ON SCHOFIELD FARMS DRIVE.
AND I I THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR PUTTING THAT MAP UP.
I JUST THOUGHT IT WOULD BE GOOD REPRESENTATION.
UM, SO THAT SCHOOL IS ACROSS THE STREET FROM THE PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT.
SO PARENTS VISITING THE SCHOOL SOMETIMES PARK ON SHAG BARK TRAIL IF THE STREET PARKING ON SCHOFIELD FARMS DRIVE IS FULL.
AND THEN THEY'D NEED TO CROSS OVER SCHOFIELD, UM, FARMS DRIVE TO GET TO THE SCHOOL.
THERE ARE NO SCHOOL ZONE SPEED LIMIT SIGNS THAT FLASH A REDUCED SPEED LIMIT DURING DROP OFF AND PICK UP HOURS.
MY ASSUMPTION IS BECAUSE, UM, CEDAR MAN DRIVE AND SCHOFIELD FARMS, IF YOU LOOK AT THAT RED LINE THAT THOSE TWO STREETS WERE RECENTLY CONNECTED, SO IT HAS IS NOT EVEN BEEN A YEAR SINCE THEY WERE CONNECTED.
UM, SHAG BARK TRAILS ARE ALREADY A BUSY STREET LACKING SAFETY STANDARDS LIKE SIDEWALKS AND STREET STREETLIGHTS THAT MOST NEIGHBORHOOD STREETS IN THE CITY OF AUSTIN ARE AFFORDED.
UM, WHEN THE TWO STREETS THAT I MENTIONED BEFORE WERE CONNECTED, UM, DUE TO THE MILESTONE FOXFIELD SUBDIVISION, NOT A SINGLE CROSSWALK ACROSS SCOFIELD FARMS DRIVE WAS INSTALLED.
UM, ALTHOUGH IT WAS SUPPOSEDLY IN THE PLANNING PROCESS.
SO NOW NOT ONLY DO WE HAVE CARS SPEEDING ON SHAG BARK TRAIL, WE HAVE CARS SPEEDING ON CEDAR BEND DRIVE AND SCHOFIELD FARMS. SO ADDING 340 UNITS ACROSS THE STREET FROM AN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL WITHOUT A TRAFFIC IMPACT ANALYSIS, NOR A NEIGHBORHOOD TRAFFIC ANALYSIS IS BEYOND IRRESPONSIBLE.
I FEAR FOR THE SAFETY OF MY CHILDREN AND THE OTHER CHILDREN THAT USE OUR STREET.
IF AN ADDITIONAL NET TRIPS OF 1,505 PER DAY ARE ADDED TO OUR NEIGHBORHOOD.
I AM ALSO CONCERNED THAT THE TRAFFICKED IMPACT ANALYSIS DETERMINATION WORKSHEET NOTED THAT THERE IS ONLY ONE DRIVEWAY PROPOSED FOR THIS 340 UNIT BUILDING.
AND THAT DRIVEWAY IS GOING TO BE ON SCOFIELD FARMS DRIVE AND THERE ARE NO DRIVEWAYS PLANNED FOR PALMER LANE.
SO THE QUESTIONS THAT I HAVE, UM, FOR THE COMMISSION AND
[00:15:01]
I WOULD LIKE THEM TO GET ANSWERED.UM, AND I, I DID HAVE A MEETING, UM, WITH THE FOLKS FROM THE DEVELOPMENT ABOUT PEAK HOUR VOLUME.
UM, THEY ASSURED ME THAT BECAUSE THE PEAK HOUR VOLUME IS LOW ENOUGH, IT DOESN'T MERIT AN A TRAFFIC IMPACT ANALYSIS, WHICH AS A MOTHER AND A RESIDENT, I DON'T REALLY CARE.
UM, NUMBER TWO, UM, DEVELOPERS REQUESTING A ZONING ZONING CHANGE FROM GRMU, UM, WHICH TYPICALLY, I'M SORRY TO GR, RMU, WHICH TYPICALLY REQUIRES LOCATIONS ACCESSIBLE FOR MAT FOR MAJOR TRAFFIC WAYS.
SO IF THAT'S THE CASE, I'M WONDERING WHY THERE IS NOT A SECONDARY DRIVEWAY FROM PALMER LANE.
UH, NUMBER THREE, THE CONDITIONAL OVERLAY THAT'S IN ORDINANCE 9 8 0 5 1 4 C, WHICH RESTRICTS TRAFFIC GENERATION TO 2000 TROOPS PER DAY OR LESS, UM, IS REQUE THERE? THE REQUEST IS TO REMOVE THAT CONDITIONAL OVERLAY.
I REQUEST THAT IT NOT BE REMOVED.
IF THEY'RE SAYING THAT ONLY 1,575, UM, TRIPS PER DAY ARE PLANNED, UM, MY CONCERN IS THAT IF YOU APPROVE THE REMOVAL OF THIS CONDITIONAL OVERLAY, UM, THAT SOMETHING COULD HAPPEN TO THAT PLOT OF LAND, WHICH WOULD, UM, INCREASE THE, THE NUMBER OF TRIPS, UM, GREATER THAN THE 1575 THAT THEY'RE SAYING.
NUMBER FOUR, UM, I HAD A QUESTION ABOUT THE RED LINE, UM, COPY OF THE RESTRICTION COVENANT, UM, C 14 DASH 85 DASH 49 7 OH.
UM, REGARDING THE DENSITY LIMITATION.
SO A AGAIN, THIS GOES TO WHY THERE IS NOT A DRIVEWAY ON PALMER LANE, AND I DON'T UNDERSTAND, OR I DON'T HAVE ENOUGH INFORMATION TO KNOW IF THE, UM, THAT RESTRICTIVE COVENANT, UM, IS SOMETHING THAT IS BEING REQUESTED TO BE STRUCK AND IT WOULD THEREBY ELIMINATE THE REQUIREMENT FOR THERE TO BE A DRIVEWAY IN PALMER LANE.
NUMBER FIVE, UM, UH, MO ON THE PLAN, YOU'LL SEE THERE IS THE MILESTONE COMMUNITY FOXFIELD, WHICH THIS GOOGLE MAPS PICTURE DOESN'T REFLECT THE, THE STREETS STREETS HAVE ALREADY BEEN PUT IN THE TWO STREETS, CEDAR BEND DRIVE AND SCHOFIELD FARMS HAVE BEEN CONNECTED.
I WANNA SAY THERE'S ABOUT 10 HOMES THAT ARE ALREADY BEEN BUILT OF THE 137 PLANNED.
I'M WONDERING HOW MANY MINUTES DO I HAVE LEFT? THAT'S TIME.
IF YOU CAN GO AHEAD AND THAT'S TIME WRAP UP.
GO AHEAD AND WRAP UP REAL QUICK.
SO I JUST, I WANNA KNOW WHAT THE IMPACT ON TRAFFIC IS ON, ON THE MILESTONE COMMUNITY PLUS THIS, UH, AS A RESIDENT, I HAVEN'T SEEN ANYTHING.
UM, I ALSO HAVE CONCERNS ABOUT BIKE LANES.
MAKING SURE THAT WE'VE GOT CROSSWALKS WITH FLASHING LIGHTS, STREET SIGNS, ALL THE APPROPRIATE THINGS THAT YOU WOULD EXPECT TO BE IN FRONT OF AN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL THAT DO NOT EXIST.
UM, AND THEN NUMBER SEVEN, JUST IN GENERAL, I FEEL LIKE BECAUSE WE ARE A STREET OF DUPLEXES AND RENTERS, PEOPLE THINK THAT THEY CAN, YOU KNOW, DO WHATEVER THEY WANT AND NO ONE WILL SPEAK UP.
WELL, I AM A SINGLE FAMILY HOME OWNER AND I'M SPEAKING UP AND I WANNA MAKE SURE THAT YOU GUYS HEAR US, THAT WE DO NOT WANT THIS UNLESS YOU GUYS ARE GONNA HELP US GET SAFETY, UM, SAFETY ELEMENTS TO MAKE SURE THAT NOBODY DIES.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR YOUR TIME AND IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, I'M, I'M WELCOME TO ANSWER ANY THANK YOU DIANE, FOR YOUR COMMENTS.
OUR NEXT SPEAKER IS DONALD OSTER WHEEL.
DONALD, YOU WILL HAVE THREE MINUTES.
I'M A RESIDENT OF SHAG BARK TRAIL AND, UH, PICKING UP ON A POINT THERE FROM DIANE, UM, WITH ALL OF THE DEVELOPMENT IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD THAT FOXFIELD, UH, DEVELOPMENT, AND NOT JUST THAT, THE FACT THAT THOSE ROADS HAVE OPENED UP, WE HAVE PEOPLE ROARING UP SCOFIELD DRIVE NOW, AND A LOT MORE CUT THROUGHS COMING FROM ALL DIRECTIONS CUT.
THEY'RE COMING CUTTING THROUGH FROM LAMAR FROM THE NEIGHBORHOOD THERE.
JUST THE OPENING UP OF THE AREA HAS GIVEN US A LOT MORE SPEEDERS.
UM, ABOUT THREE MONTHS AGO I HAD A, UH, A RETIRED, UM, UH, A PD OFFICER, UH, DO A LITTLE, LITTLE, UM, RADAR GUN TEST.
AND WE COUNTED FOUR CARS GOING 65 MILES AN HOUR ON
[00:20:01]
OUR STREET WITHIN ABOUT ONE HOUR.UH, SO THAT WAS KIND OF SCARY.
SO I'M VERY MUCH IN FAVOR OF SIDEWALKS, STREETLIGHTS, THINGS LIKE THAT.
UM, NOW YOU ARE A PLANNING COMMISSION.
WELL, IT SEEMS THAT THE CODES DO NOT PLAN FOR MULTIPLE DEVELOPMENTS HAPPENING AT ONCE.
ONE DEVELOPER APPARENTLY DOES NOT NEED TO, ACCORDING TO, UH, THE LAWYER FOR, UH, THIS DEVELOPER, ONE DEVELOPER NEED NOT FIND OUT WHAT'S HAPPENING WITH THE OTHER DEVELOPMENT.
SO YOU COULD HAVE MAJOR BUILDINGS BUILT ON BOTH SIDES OF THE ROAD AND NO ONE NEEDS TO CONSULT WITH EACH OTHER.
SO THAT WOULD BE SOMETHING THAT YOU MIGHT WANT TO CONSIDER IN FUTURE PLANNING.
UH, SECONDLY, UM, LAST, LAST TIME WE TUNED IN, WE SAW A MEETING HERE.
AND SO, UH, YOUR AV PEOPLE MIGHT WANT TO FIGURE THIS OUT BECAUSE THE MEETING WAS BROADCAST AFTER IT WENT TO A PRIVATE MEETING AND THE CAMERAS WERE SUPPOSED TO BE TURNED OFF, BUT WE SAW THE WHOLE THING AND ALL OF THE PEOPLE WHO WERE TALKING ABOUT THAT, UH, DEVELOPMENT, THAT APARTMENT BUILDING RIGHT ON RICHFIELD RIGHT BY, UH, UH, THE ROSEDALE SCHOOL WHERE ALL OF THEIR TESTIMONY WAS JUST COMPLETELY IGNORED AND YOU GUYS JUST, UH, KIND OF DISMISSED IT AND GOING RIGHT AHEAD.
NO ONE, NO ONE HAD ANYTHING, ANY WORD OF ANY ABOUT ANY OF THE TESTIMONY.
YOU JUST BARRELLED RIGHT AHEAD.
SO YOU MIGHT WANT TO TURN OFF THE CAMERAS SO WE CAN MAYBE NOT SEE WHAT'S GOING ON HERE.
UM, I HAVE A FURTHER QUESTION.
UM, IF, IF SOMEONE IS KILLED ON SHAG BARK TRAIL, I WONDER IF YOU'LL BE SAD.
WILL YOU SHED A TEAR? WILL YOU FEEL ANY RESPONSIBILITY? OF COURSE.
I WONDER WHY YOU'RE ASKING ME THAT.
I WOULD LIKE TO ASK HANK SMITH, IF SOMEONE IS KILLED ON SHAG ROCK TRAIL BY A SUBPOENA CAR, WILL YOU BE SAD? WILL YOU SHED A TEAR? WILL YOU FEEL ANY RESPONSIBILITY? YES.
I WOULD LAST LIKE TO ASK, UM, WILLIAM FLOYD, SAME QUESTION.
WILL YOU FEEL SAD? WILL YOU SHED A TEAR? WILL YOU FEEL ANY RESPONSIBILITY POINT OF ORDER SOMEONE IF SOMEONE SAID BY A CAR ON THE STREET POINT OF ORDER? I, I DON'T THINK IT'S FOR YOU TO ASK US QUESTIONS.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR COMMENTS CHAIR.
THAT CONCLUDES THE SPEAKERS ON THIS ITEM,
UM, ANY QUESTIONS OR DO YOU WANT TO GO AHEAD AND CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING? I GET A MOTION TO CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING.
WELL, DOES MR. SETTLE WANT TO OH, I'M SORRY.
SO IN, IN THE SPIRIT OF, OF, OF TRYING TO COLLABORATE ON THIS, WE CAN ONLY CONTROL THAT WHICH IS ON OUR PROPERTY.
AND WE'VE COMMITTED TO DOING THE, UH, THE LEVEL TWO STREETS, WHICH INCLUDE SIDEWALKS AND BIKE LANES AND ALL ON SCHOFIELD AND LEVEL ONE ON SHAG BARK TRAIL, WHERE WE FRONT ON THAT AND NO ACCESS ON THE SHAG BARK.
AND THEN ALSO WE WILL DO A PEDESTRIAN BEACON AND CROSSWALK AT THE INTERSECTION OF SHAG BARK AND SCHOFIELD FARMS THERE AT THE SCHOOL.
IF YOU WANNA MAKE THAT A CONDITION OF OUR ZONING, UM, WE, I WILL ADD
IF, IF THE NEIGHBORHOOD WILL GET WITH THE, UH, TRANSPORTATION DEPARTMENT AT THE CITY AND ADVOCATE FOR MORE SAFETY FEATURES ON SHAG BART ON LAND THAT WE DON'T OWN, WE WILL JOIN AND LEND OUR VOICES OF SUPPORT.
IS THERE A REASON YOU DON'T TAKE ACCESS ONTO PALMER LANE FOR THE DEVELOPMENT? WELL, WE'VE FAR ENOUGH IN THE PLANNING, WE'VE GOT AN ACCESS ON PARER.
IT, IT SHARES IT WITH THE WELLS BRANCH.
AND IF YOU LOOK AT THE MAP CLOSELY, YOU'LL SEE A WEIRD MM-HMM.
SO WE'VE GOTTA HAVE ACCESS ONTO SCOFIELD AS WELL.
BUT YOU COULD HAVE A WRITE IN, WRITE OUT ON PARMER? YES.
UM, ARE Y'ALL ALREADY ON THE SITE PLAN REVIEW PROCESS FOR THIS OR NOT YET? NO, NOT YET.
AND, AND, AND THAT'S ANOTHER LEVEL OF SAFETY FOR THE NEIGHBORS.
OF COURSE, WHEN WE GET INTO THE SITE PLAN PROCESS, THEY'LL GET NOTICE OF THAT.
AND WE CAN ALSO TALK ABOUT THE SAFETY THINGS AND THE THINGS THAT I'VE COMMITTED TO TONIGHT THAT IF YOU CHOOSE TO MAKE IT PART OF YOUR RECOMMENDATION, WE'LL ABIDE BY IT.
UM, IS THERE, IS THERE A A, A A TRAFFIC IMPACT ON ANALYSIS AT ALL FOR THIS? FOR THIS, THERE NOT, WE DON'T HIT THE THRESHOLD THAT THE CITY REQUIRES FOR A TIA.
BASICALLY WHAT HAPPENS IS IF YOU DON'T HIT THAT THRESHOLD, THEY CAN REQUIRE YOU TO DO SOME THINGS AND WE CAN VOLUNTEER TO DO SOME THINGS, WHICH IS WHAT WE'RE DOING TONIGHT.
BUT IF YOU DON'T HIT 2000 TRIPS,
[00:25:01]
THEY DON'T, THEY DON'T REQUIRE A TIA.SO THERE'S NO, THERE'S BEEN NO PROCESS TO STUDY WHAT THE IMPACT WILL BE BECAUSE IT'S NOT REQUIRED.
THERE'S, AND THIS STAFF MAY BE ABLE TO CONFIRM, BUT THERE WILL BE, AS PART OF THE SITE PLAN, BECAUSE THERE'S SINGLE FAMILY PROPERTIES AROUND, THERE SHOULD BE AN NTA REQUIRED DURING THE SITE PLAN.
SO THERE WOULD BE TWO COUNTS, AND THEN STAFF, UH, LOOKS AT IT AND THEY MAY REQUIRE ADDITIONAL SIDEWALKS OR OTHER SAFETY MEASURES.
SO MAYBE CITY STAFF CAN ANSWER THIS QUESTION.
IS THERE, IS THERE A PLAN FOR THAT, UH, FOR THAT LAYOUT, THOSE STREETS IN THAT AREA? IS THERE, IS THERE A MASTER PLAN IN, IN THAT AREA? BUT I CAN'T SPEAK TO THAT BECAUSE THAT'LL BE SOMETHING THAT IS LOOKED AT THE TIME OF SITE PLAN BY TPW AT THIS TIME.
UH, YOU KNOW, AND A TIA WAS NOT TRIGGERED AS ETA WAS NOT TRIGGERED BECAUSE THEY HAVE AN AUDIT EXCEEDED THE 2000 VEHICLE TRIP LIMIT THAT IS PROPOSED FOR THE DEVELOPMENT.
UM, AND THE ACCESS POINTS, THE, YOU KNOW, CIRCULATION, ALL OF THAT WILL BE REVIEWED AT THE TIME OF SITE PLAN BY THE TRANSPORTATION PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT.
OTHER QUESTIONS? I HEAR A MOTION TO CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING MOTION TO CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING.
COMMISSIONER BEKI MOTIONS TO CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING.
COMMISSIONER FLORES, I SAW YOU FIRST.
UM, ALL THOSE IN FAVOR SAY AYE.
CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING QUESTIONS, DISCUSSION.
WHAT'S THE THOUGHT? WELL, SO, UM, WELL, SO IN, IN TALKING ABOUT THE, THE, THE KINK OF THE ZONING, UH, YOU KNOW, I I I'M NOT TOO CONCERNED NECESSARILY, UM, BUT I I, I STILL HAVEN'T SEEN A COMPELLING REASON WHY WE NEED TO REMOVE THE CONDITIONAL OVERLAY.
UM, IF WE'RE, IF WE'RE GONNA, YOU KNOW, IF THE TRAFFIC GENERATION IS GONNA BE BELOW 2000 TRIPS, THEN IT WON'T MATTER.
BUT IF IT DOES GO ABOVE 2000 TRIPS AND THAT WOULD AMELIORATE SOME OF THE CONCERNS FROM THE NEIGHBORHOOD AND THEY WOULD BE A FAIL SAFE THERE.
YOU KNOW, UM, AND, AND THEN SINCE WE'RE ON THE CO WE MIGHT AS WELL THROW THE BONE ABOUT THE PEDESTRIAN BEACON AND THEN WE WOULD HAVE ADDRESSED A COUPLE OF THE CONCERNS AT THE SAME TIME.
BUT IN, AGAIN, THIS, THIS BODY HAS BEEN PRETTY CONSISTENT ABOUT SAYING WE NEED HOUSING.
WE'RE IN A, A HOUSING SHORTAGE.
RIGHT? AND THIS IS A GREAT WAY TO DELIVER IT IN A PLACE THAT IS ON AN IMAGINE AUSTIN CORRIDOR.
AND WHILE IT DOESN'T HAVE HIGH FREQUENCY SERVICE ON PARMER, NOW IT IS SLATED TO HAVE THAT IN THE FUTURE.
AND CURRENTLY IT IS A VERY EASY BIKE RIDE TO GET OVER TO THE 3 25 AS IT IS.
SO SOMEBODY LIVING IN MULTIFAMILY THERE COULD VERY EASILY GET TO A CC OR TO THE TRAIN STATION OR TO BURNETT ROAD OR THE 8 0 1 OR 8 0 3.
SO I, THE, THE LOCATION IS VERY GOOD FOR THAT PURPOSE.
OKAY, SO THE APPLICANT'S, OKAY, LEAVING THE CONDITIONAL OVERLAY IN PLACE, BUT REMOVING THE DENSITY LIMITATION IN THE CONDITIONAL OVERLAY, BUT LEAVING THE CRITERIA FOR THE TRIP GENERATION IN THERE.
AND THEN ADDING REQUIREMENTS FOR THE FLASHING SIGNAL AND THE CROSSWORK AT THE SCHOOL.
SO CAN I SPEAK AS STAFF? UH, I DID WANNA CLARIFY.
THERE IS A REASON THAT THE STAFF DID NOT RECOMMEND CONTINUING THE CONDITIONAL OVERLAY FOR A 2000 VEHICLE TRIP LIMIT.
THAT IS AT THE REQUEST OF TPW, THAT WE NO LONGER PUT THOSE ON ZONING CASES, RIGHT? BECAUSE DO THEY LOOK AT THAT AT THE TIME OF SITE PLAN? UH, WHEN THEY HAVE AN IDEA OF THE LAY, LAY OUT NATURAL DENSITY OF THE DEVELOPMENT.
UM, AND IF WE DO INCLUDE THE PROVISION ABOUT A PEDESTRIAN BEACON, IT WOULD NOT BE IN A CONDITIONAL OVERLAY.
THAT WOULD NOT BE SOMETHING THAT WE COULD INCLUDE IN A CONDITIONAL OVERLAY THAT WOULD BE A PUBLIC RESTRICTIVE COVENANT WITH THE CITY.
SO I JUST KIND OF WANTED TO CLARIFY THOSE ELEMENTS, RIGHT? I THINK IN THIS CASE WE WOULDN'T BE ADDING A CONDITIONAL OVERLAY FOR THE 2000 PER DAY.
WE JUST SUDDENLY WOULDN'T BE REMOVING ONE.
SO A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENT, DIFFERENT SLANT ON THAT.
AND THEN IT'D BE A RECOMMENDATION FOR THE DRIVEWAY, UM, ACCESS TO THE SCHOOL WITH THE FLASHING LIGHT.
WE CAN'T MAKE IT A REQUIREMENT OR AN OVERLAY, BUT WE CAN MAKE IT A SUGGESTION.
SO RECOMMENDING A, SO THAT IT WOULD BE RECOMMENDING A PUBLIC RESTRICTIVE COVENANT DOING THAT.
IT WOULD JUST BE RECOMMENDING NOT NECESSARILY A PUBLIC, WE CAN'T RECOMMEND A PUBLIC RESTRICTION, BUT JUST RECOMMENDING TO STAFF WHEN THEY GO THROUGH THE SITE PLAN PROCESS TO WORK WITH THE APPLICANT TO PUT A SIGNAL, FLASHING SIGNAL ACROSS THE STREET AND RETAIN THE 2002 AND, AND AMENDING, I WOULD WORD THAT A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENTLY.
SAY AMENDING THE, THE CONDITIONAL OVERLAY TO REMOVE THE DENSITY LIMITATION ONLY.
AND THEN LEAVE THE REST OF THE, JUST LEAVE THE LAST.
WE'RE NOT, WE'RE NOT, WE'RE NOT ADDING
[00:30:01]
IT, WE'RE NOT ADDING ANYTHING.WE'RE JUST SAYING REMOVE THE DENSITY LIMITATION CONDITIONAL OVERLAY.
DO I HEAR THAT AS A MOTION?
DOES, DOES STAFF UNDERSTAND THE MOTION AS IT STANDS RIGHT NOW? DID YOU READ IT AGAIN? GO AHEAD.
UM, WELL, SO THE, THE MOTION IS TO RE, UM, IS TO REMOVE THE, UM, THE DENSITY LIMITATION LIMITATION, OKAY? SO THAT, THAT'S THE PUBLIC RESTRICTIVE CABINET AMENDMENT NUMBER, ITEM NUMBER THREE, RIGHT? SO IT WOULD BE A MOTION TO APPROVE ITEM NUMBER THREE, NO APPROVE ITEM TWO AND THREE, LET ME SEE IF I CAN START, SAY THANK YOU.
APPROVE ITEMS TWO AND THREE, REMOVE THE DENSITY LIMITATION IN THE CONDITIONAL OVERLAY OF ITEM THREE, BUT LEAVE THE REST OF THE CONDITIONAL OVERLAY IN PLACE.
AND THEN RECOMMENDING TO STAFF DURING A SITE PLAN PROCESS, YOU WORK WITH THEM TO INCLUDE A FLASHING SIGNAL LIGHT A ACROSS, UM, WHAT IS BASICALLY SCOFIELD FARMS AT SHAG BARK TRAIL WITH A CROSSWALK AND A FLASHING BEACON.
YOU MAY CLARIFY THIS A LITTLE BIT.
WE'LL SEE MAYBE EVER SO CLOSE.
BUT 15 UNITS IS IN THE COVENANT, RIGHT? THAT'S, THERE'S THE, THE DIFFERENCE, IT'S IN ITEM NUMBER THREE.
IT'S ACTUALLY NOT A CONDITIONAL OVERLAY.
OKAY? SO REMOVING THAT FROM THE APPROVING ITEM THREE AS IS LEAVING THE CONDITIONAL OVERLAY IN ITEM TWO, BUT REDUCING THE DENSITY LIMITATION TO CONDITIONAL OVERLAY.
OKAY, SO THAT'S THE MOTION
DO I HEAR A SECOND? THANK COMMISSIONER FLORE SECONDS.
ANY DISCUSSION ON THE MOTION? OKAY, ALL THOSE IN FAVOR SAY AYE.
VERY, I THINK WE GOT WHAT EVERYBODY WANTED.
UM, UM, THEY PROBABLY WANT MORE SAFETY IMPROVEMENTS.
I THINK THAT CAN COME AT THE SITE PLAN PHASE.
I THINK GETTING ACCESS TO RIGHT IN RIGHT OUT ON PRIMER LANE IS VERY VIABLE AT THE SITE PLAN PROCESS.
UM, GETTING SIGNAL LIGHTS AND SIDEWALKS ON SHAG, UM, BARK TRAIL IN SCHOFIELD FARMS. AND I THINK APPLICANT WILL WORK WITH THE NEIGHBORS TO ENCOURAGE THE CITY TO LOOK AT ADDITIONAL TRAFFIC CON, UH, DEVICES ON SHAG BARK TRAIL.
ESPECIALLY SINCE SCHOFIELD FARMS HAS NOW OPENED UP THROUGH UM, CEDAR BEND CREEK THAT NEEDS TO BE LOOKED AT IN TERMS OF A, A WHOLE PROJECT NOW.
SO WE'D BE KIND OF DIRECTING STAFF TO DO ALL OF THAT.
UH, IT'S A REZONING CASE, C 14 20 24 DASH 0 0 9 1.
FUTURE PROJECT DISTRICT 10 12 530 RESEARCH BOULEVARD IS SOME GRMU TO LOMU OR I'M SORRY, GR RMU AND LOMU TO CS ONE STAFF IS NOT RECOMMENDING THIS.
UM, SO DO WE HAVE A STAFF PRESENTATION ON THIS ITEM? YES.
AGAIN, COMMISSIONER SHERRY ES WITH THE PLANNING DEPARTMENT.
ITEM NUMBER FOUR IS KC 14 20 24 0 0 9 1, WHICH IS KNOWN AS FUTURE PROJECT.
IT'S LOCATED AT 12 5 3 0 RESEARCH BOULEVARD.
THE REQUESTED REZONING IS FROM GRMU AND LOMU TO CS ONE ZONING.
THE STAFF RECOMMENDS DENIAL OF THE APPLICANT'S REQUEST FOR CS ONE ZONING.
THE PROPERTY IN QUESTION IS A 1.41 ACRE SITE THAT CONTAINS A VACANT STRUCTURE, WHICH WAS USED AS A RESTAURANT AND A BIKE SHOP PREVIOUSLY.
UH, THAT FRONTS ONTO RESEARCH BOULEVARD, US HIGHWAY 180 3 GOING TO THE EAST.
THE TRACTOR LAND TO THE WEST CONTAINS AN AUTOMOTIVE REPAIR USE.
THE LOTS TO THE SOUTH ACROSS JOLLYVILLE ROAD ARE DEVELOPED WITH DUPLEX RESIDENCES.
IN THIS CASE, THE APPLICANT IS REQUESTING CS ONE ZONING TO UTILIZE THE SITE WITH A RESTAURANT OR COCKTAIL LOUNGE USE.
THE STAFF RECOMMENDS DENIAL OF THE APPLICANT'S REQUEST.
THE PROPOSED CS ONE ZONING IS NOT CONSISTENT WITH THE US 180 3 JOLLYVILLE ROAD AREA STUDY THAT WAS ADOPTED BY THE CITY COUNCIL.
THE SITE UNDER CONSIDERATION IS NOT LOCATED AT THE INTERSECTION OF MAJOR STREETS WHERE CS AND CS ONE ZONING IS INTENDED.
IN ADDITION, THE PROPOSED ZONING WOULD CONTRIBUTE TO AN OVER ZONING OF THE COMMERCIAL LIQUOR SALES DISTRICT.
IN THIS AREA IS THERE ARE ALREADY TWO CS ONE PAD SITES ADJACENT TO THIS TRACT IN THE OAK MILL VILLAGE SHOPPING CENTER.
ONE OF THESE SUITES IS DEVELOPED WITH THE LIQUOR SALES USE AND THE OTHER IS CURRENTLY VACANT.
THERE IS ALSO CS ONE CO ZONING TO THE SOUTHEAST THAT WAS ZONED THROUGH KC 14 20 22 0 1 68 THAT IS CURRENTLY UNDEVELOPED.
ASKED JUST RIGHT THE CURRENT GM GRU ZONING ON TRACK ONE AND LOMU ZONING ON TRACK TWO THAT WAS APPROVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL ON OCTOBER 13TH, 2022.
SO VERY RECENTLY PROMOTES CONSISTENTLY CONSISTENCY WITH THE PROMOTED USES DEVELOP WITH THE USES DEVELOPED ADJACENT TO THESE PARCELS.
COMMERCIAL MIXED USE AND OFFICE MIXED
[00:35:01]
USE ZONING WILL PERMIT THE APPLICANT TO UTILIZE THE VACANT STRUCTURES TO ALLOW FOR A MIXED USE DEVELOPMENT ON THIS SITE.THE MORE INTENSIVE GRMU ZONING ON TRACK ONE IS APPROPRIATE FOR RETAIL DEVELOPMENT FRONTING A MAJOR HIGHWAY WITHIN AN AREA OF CONCENTRATED COMMERCIAL AND RETAIL DEVELOPMENT.
THE STAFF RECOMMENDS MAINTAINING THE 120 FOOT BUFFER OF LOMU ZONING ALONG JOLL GOLD ROAD, WHICH IS DEFINED AS TRACK TWO IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE INTENT OF THE US 180 3 JOLLYVILLE ROAD AREA STUDY, THE POLICY OF 120 FOOT STRIP BUFFER OF LOS ZONING ALONG THE EAST SIDE OF JOLLYVILLE ROAD HAS BEEN APPLIED.
CONS CONSISTENTLY TO DATE TO MAINTAIN A SETBACK FROM THE COMMERCIAL USES FRONTING US HIGHWAY 180 3 TO THE RESIDENTIAL AND OFFICE USES TO THE WEST ACROSS JOLLYVILLE ROAD.
THE PROPOSED LOMU ZONING FOR TRACK TWO WILL PROVIDE A TRANSITION FROM THE MORE INTENSIVE COMMERCIAL USES FRONT RESEARCH BOULEVARD TO THE NORTH TO THE RESIDENTIAL USES ON THE WESTERN SIDE OF JOLLYVILLE ROAD.
AND I'M HERE TO ANSWER ANY OTHER QUESTIONS.
OKAY, ANY QUESTIONS FOR STAFF? SHOULD WE FINISH THE HEARING AND THEN ASK QUESTIONS? UM, IS THE APPLICANT HERE? OKAY.
UH, I'VE BEEN HERE BEFORE AND I'VE BEEN HERE MANY TIMES IN FACT CONCERNING MY PROPERTY AND MY NEXT DOOR NEIGHBOR PROPERTY, WHICH LAST YEAR WAS GRANTED CS ONE ZONING WITH CO COMMERCIAL OVERLAY AND I DID SPOKE AGAINST IT.
I THEN WANTED THAT NEXT TO MY PROPERTY.
AND WHEN I SPOKE TO IN HERE, COUNCIL MEMBER, IT WASN'T THE COMMISSION ME, UH, MEETING, IT WAS COUNCIL MEMBER MEETINGS AND COUNCIL MEMBER IN MY DISTRICT TOLD ME THAT, OH, I DIDN'T KNOW YOU OPPOSED AND WE WILL TALK.
SO THEY CALLED ME AND I EXPLAINED TO THEM WHAT'S GOING ON.
THEY SAID YOU COULD GET CS ONE YOURSELF.
I SAID, I ALREADY PAID FOR MY ZONING LIKE 2022 AND BACK THEN YOU DIDN'T LET ME HAVE IT AND NOW YOU HAVEN'T GIVEN IT TO SOMEBODY ELSE.
WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE? SO I TOOK THEIR ADVICE AND I'M HERE IN FRONT OF YOU TODAY BECAUSE I APPLIED FOR CS ONE ZONING BECAUSE I HAVE A ZONING FOR ONE ACRE, DIFFERENT ZONING FOR 0.41 ACRE AND IT IS CONFUSING TO BEGIN WITH.
AND THEN MY PROPERTY, THE ONE, UH, THAT FOUR POINT 0.41 ACRE IS NEXT DOOR TO THE ONE GOT CS ONE LAST YEAR.
I MEAN, IT'S JUST RIGHT THERE.
AND I'M SURROUNDED A LOT OF CS ONE AND UH, CS UH, ZONING IN THE AREA AND UH, I DON'T KNOW WHY THAT US 180 3 AND VILLE CORRIDOR, WHATEVER THINGS THEY'RE TALKING ABOUT DIDN'T APPLY TO MY NEIGHBOR LAST YEAR.
I MEAN THIS IS VERY, VERY, UH, YOU KNOW,
YOU KNOW, I CAN GET IT, HE CAN GET IT.
AND YOU GUYS, LAST YEAR, I DON'T KNOW WHICH ONE OF YOU WERE THERE IN THAT COMMISSION ROSTER LAST TIME WE WERE HERE, UH, YOU ALL COULDN'T COME TO A CONCLUSION.
SO YOU REFERRED IT TO THE CITY COUNCIL.
AND THEN IN CITY COUNCIL THEY AGREED TO GIVE THE GUY WHAT HE WAS ASKING.
AGAIN, I SPOKE TWICE IN THAT CITY COUNCIL MEETING.
I REALLY WAS OPPOSED TO HAVE, YOU KNOW, UH, BECAUSE I HAD SOME TYPE OF RESTAURANT RIGHT THERE I WAS, WHICH I RENT, YOU KNOW, A TENANT IN THERE.
AND I WAS AFRAID THAT IT'S GONNA, YOU KNOW, SOMEHOW HURT MY GUYS.
THEY ONE WHO ARE RENTING FROM ME IF THEY OPEN LET'S SAY HOOKAH LOUNGE OR THINGS IN THAT NATURE.
SO I WENT AHEAD AND THAT IS THE, I THINK THAT'S MY VIDEO.
I THOUGHT THEY'RE GONNA PUT AT THE END OF MY CONVERSATION, I MEAN MY TALKING AND IT SHOWS YOU AND I HAVE AUDIO ON IT THAT WHAT IS THE SITUATION UP THERE? THAT IS MY NEXT DOOR NEIGHBOR PROPERTY RIGHT NOW.
AND THIS, YOU KNOW, THE OTHER SIDE OF IT IS MY PROPERTY.
I MEAN FENCE IN THERE IS ALL ONE PIECE OF PROPERTY.
I BOUGHT PART OF IT LONG TIME AGO AND HERE WE ARE, THIS IS MY PROPERTY.
I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY I CAN'T HAVE THE SAME ZONING THE GUY
[00:40:01]
GATHERED RIGHT NEXT DOOR TO ME IF THEY WANTED THREE AND JO LEVEL, WHATEVER THINGS YOU ALL HAVE APPLIED TO ME, WHY DIDN'T HE APPLY TO THAT GUY? SO I DO APPRECIATE, I WON'T MIND CONDITION ON IT, BUT I WANT, I DON'T WANT TO CONDITION HIM.THERE IS A BUS STOP RIGHT THERE, RIGHT BEFORE TRAFFIC LIGHT IS RIGHT IN FRONT OF MY BUILDING.
AND HOW COMMERCIAL SHOULD IT BE IF A 40 FOOT LONG BUS COULD STOP IN THERE AND THEN I BE LIMITED? I DON'T UNDERSTAND THE PART OF IT.
SO I, AS I SAID, A WOULDN'T MIND CONDITION FOR 0.41 ACRE FACING THE JOLLYVILLE.
BUT ON THIS SIDE, MY TENANT, THEY WOULD LIKE TO HAVE THE TYPE OF THINGS THEY COULD GO GET THEIR TAVC LICENSE AND MAJORITY OF THEIR CELLS, YOU KNOW, IS ALCOHOL.
THAT'S HOW THEY DO THEIR BUSINESS.
AND UH, EVERYTHING'S IN IN LINE FOR ME TO GET THE CS ONE AT LEAST ON 180 3 SIDE AND THEN CS ONE CONDITIONAL ON THE OTHER SIDE, JUST LIKE MY NEXT DOOR NEIGHBOR.
AND IF THERE IS ANY QUESTION, I'M HERE TO ANSWER YOUR QUESTION.
IF NOT, IF I HAVE ANY TIME LEFT, I WILL GIVE IT TO OTHER PEOPLE HERE.
ANY QUESTIONS? WELL, ARE THERE OTHER SPEAKERS SIGNED UP? RIGHT.
ARE THERE OTHER SPEAKERS SIGNED UP IN SUPPORT? YES.
SO ALL THE SPEAKERS WE HAVE ON THIS ITEM ARE GONNA BE IN SUPPORT.
SO I WOULD YOU LIKE ME TO JUST MOVE ON TO THE NEXT ONE? SURE.
WELL THANK YOU FOR YOUR COMMENTS MOHAMMED.
OUR NEXT SPEAKER IS GONNA BE DEREK BUNTON.
DEREK, YOU WILL HAVE SIX MINUTES.
HOW Y'ALL DOING? I'M DEREK BUNTON, I'M JUST HERE TO SUPPORT.
I DO GO AROUND THE CORNER TO THE OTHER SPACE THAT GOT THE ZONING.
IT'S LITERALLY 10 STEPS AND I FEEL I SU I SUPER AGREE WITH WE SHOULD BE THE SAME ZONING.
THANK YOU DEREK, FOR YOUR COMMENTS.
OUR NEXT SPEAKER IS BENNY JEFFERSON.
BENNY WILL BE JOINING US VIRTUALLY.
BENNY, PLEASE PRESS SIX AND PROCEED WITH YOUR REMARKS.
SO IT LOOKS LIKE BENNY IS NOT PRESENT RIGHT NOW, SO WE'RE GONNA MOVE ON TO GEORGE JONES.
GEORGE, YOU'LL HAVE THREE MINUTES.
HELLO, HOW ARE Y'ALL? I'M GEORGE JONES AND UH, I I, I FREQUENTLY USE THE HOOKAH LOUNGE THAT THEY TENANT OF, AND I'M A, I'M IN AGREEANCE OF WHAT HE JUST SAID.
OUR NEXT SPEAKER IS SINA POWELL.
SINA, YOU'LL HAVE THREE MINUTES.
I AM ONE OF THE CO-OWNERS OF THE BUILDING AT LEASING, UH, FROM MOHAMED.
AND, UM, I PREPARED A STATEMENT, SO I'M GONNA READ FROM MY PHONE.
UH, THANK YOU FOR THE OPPORTUNITY TO SPEAK TODAY.
I'M HERE TO ADVOCATE FOR A ZONING CHANGE THAT WOULD ALLOW OUR BUSINESS TO THRIVE AND CONTRIBUTE POSITIVELY TO OUR COMMUNITY.
BEFORE SIGNING OUR LEASE, UM, DECEMBER OF LAST YEAR, UH, WE DILIGENTLY RESEARCHED THE REQUIREMENTS FOR OPERATING IN THIS BUILDING.
WE WERE PREPARED TO COMPLY WITH THESE REGULATIONS.
HOWEVER, AFTER TAKING OVER THIS SPACE, WE DISCOVERED THAT THE PREVIOUS TENANTS HAD BEEN GRANTED A LIQUOR PERMIT WITH A MOBILE FOOD PERMIT.
A PROCESS THAT WE WERE LATER INFORMED BY THE CITY SHOULD NOT HAVE BEEN APPROVED.
DESPITE THIS, THE CITY HAS TOLD US THAT WE CANNOT FOLLOW THAT SAME PROCESS THAT THEY TOOK TO GET THEIR LIQUOR PERMIT LEAVING US FACING OVER 60,000 IN UNEXPECTED COSTS JUST TO TRY AND GET OUR DOORS OPEN.
WE'RE STILL NOT OPEN TODAY, MEANING WE HAVE TO REPLACE THE GREASE TRAP THAT'S THERE AND THE SAMPLE PORT AND TRY TO GET RECORDS THAT THE CITY NO LONGER HAS BECAUSE THE BUILDING IS IS OLDER.
UM, SO I REACHED OUT TO PLANNING AND DEVELOPMENT AND
[00:45:01]
WE LEARNED THAT THE PROPERTIES DIRECTLY ADJACENT TO OURS LESS THAN 50 FEET AWAY.OUR ZONE IS CS ONE, ALLOWING THEM GREATER FLEXIBILITY WITH THEIR OPERATIONS.
AND GIVEN OUR EQUAL DISTANCE FROM THE RESIDENTIAL AREAS, IT WAS STRONGLY RECOMMENDED BY PLANNING AND DEVELOPMENT THAT OUR PROPERTY SHOULD ALSO BE ZONED AS CS ONE AND THAT WE SHOULD APPLY.
SO WE WORKED WITH OUR LANDLORD TO GET HERE TODAY.
WE'RE NOT ASKING TO ELIMINATE FOOD SERVICE.
WE FULLY INTEND TO SERVE FOOD.
UM, HOWEVER, THE CURRENT ZONING IMPOSES OUTDATED CONSTRAINTS THAT NO LONGER ALIGN WITH THE NEEDS OF OUR BUSINESS OR THE COMMUNITY.
THE ZONING CHANGE WILL ENABLE US TO OPEN OUR DOORS, CREATE JOBS, PAY TAXES, PROVIDE A SAFE, VIBRANT SOCIAL STATE SPACE WITHIN THE AUSTIN CITY LIMITS, A SPACE THAT REFLECTS THE DIVERSITY OF OUR COMMUNITY.
WE ASK FOR YOUR SUPPORT IN IMPROVING IT ZONING CHANGE SO WE CAN MAKE THESE CONTRIBUTIONS AND HELP BUILD A STRONGER, MORE INCLUSIVE AUSTIN.
A LOT OF OUR SPACES IN MANY CITY FREQUENTS OUR HOOKAH LOUNGE, WE HAVE A HOOKAH LOUNGE IN PFLUGERVILLE.
UM, AND A LOT OF BLACK-OWNED SPACES ARE OUTSIDE OF THE CITY LIMITS.
AND SO WE WANNA CREATE SOMETHING HERE.
SO THAT'S, THAT'S PRETTY MUCH ALL I HAD TO SAY.
WAS THERE ANY QUESTIONS FOR ME? THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
OUR NEXT SPEAKER IS BREN MCGRUDER.
BRENNAN, YOU WILL HAVE THREE MINUTES SAY GOOD EVENING.
UM, AGAIN, JUST LIKE EVERYBODY ELSE, UH, I SUPPORT THE ZONING CHANGE.
UM, JUST LIKE SHE MENTIONED, IT'LL CREATE A BUNCH OF OPPORTUNITIES, UH, WITHIN THE, WITHIN THE CITY LIMITS.
OUR NEXT SPEAKER IS EDGAR POWELL.
EDGAR, YOU WILL HAVE THREE MINUTES ACTUALLY, SORRY I'M INCORRECT.
UM, SO IT LOOKS LIKE NICOLE COOPER IS GONNA BE DONATING TIME TO EDGAR POWELL.
NICOLE, ARE YOU PRESENT? SO EDGAR, YOU'LL HAVE SIX MINUTES.
UM, LIKE I SAID, WE ARE THE TENANTS OF THE PROPERTY AND, UM, CHANGING THE ZONING WILL NOT ONLY ALLOW US TO GET INTO THE SPACE SOONER, IT'LL ALSO ALLOW US TO BE ABLE TO DO THE TYPE OF SPACE THAT WE WANT.
'CAUSE THE PLAN IS TO HAVE LIKE BREAKFAST FOOD ALL DAY, RIGHT? SO IT'S A LESS EXPENSIVE FOOD.
SO OUR PER, YOU KNOW, MEAL ITEM IS GONNA BE LIKE $8, $10 AND STUFF LIKE THAT.
SO ONE INDIVIDUAL IS TO GET TWO DRINKS THAT WILL PUT US OVER THE 51% THAT WE WOULD, YOU KNOW, REQUIRE THAT KEEP OUR TABC LICENSE, RIGHT? IT'LL ALSO HINDER US WITH STAYING OPEN WITH LATE HOURS, RIGHT? WE, SO WE'VE BEEN IN THIS INDUSTRY FOR A FEW YEARS, UH, JUST LIKE DOING EVENTS AT DIFFERENT VENUES AND RENTING THINGS OUT.
SO WE ARE VERY FAMILIAR WITH OUR DEMOGRAPHIC, RIGHT? SO WE BUILT THIS BRAND THAT WE HAVE AND NOW WE HAVE OUR OWN SPACE, YOU KNOW, THAT WE ARE LEASING.
SO, UH, THIS, THIS WOULD DEFINITELY HELP US, YOU KNOW, UM, WE WILLING TO ABIDE BY EVERYTHING THAT WE NEED.
LIKE MOHAMED SAID, YOU KNOW, IF THERE'S CERTAIN CONDITIONS THAT WE NEED TO ABIDE BY, WE ARE OKAY WITH NEGOTIATING THAT OR, YOU KNOW, FIGURING SOMETHING OUT.
BUT, UM, IT, IT IS DEFINITELY, YOU KNOW, 60,000 IS JUST THE UNEXPECTED COST.
WE'RE ALMOST 200,000 IN WHAT WE PREDICTED IN THE BUDGET OF OUR OWN MONEY, OUR OWN SAVINGS, RIGHT? OUR OWN INVESTORS, EVERYTHING.
SO, YOU KNOW, WE TALKING A QUARTER MILLION DOLLARS RIGHT NOW AND WE STILL NOWHERE NEAR OPENING BECAUSE WE HAVE TO GET A WHOLE GREASE TRAP PULLED OUT THAT CAN TAKE SEVERAL WEEKS, SEVERAL MONTHS, WHO KNOWS, RIGHT? AND THEN WE STILL DON'T HAVE ANY SIGNATURE, YOU KNOW, IN THE BUILDING THAT COULD TAKE MONTHS.
SO I MEAN, WE PROBABLY COULD BE ANOTHER YEAR AND A HALF IF SOMETHING LIKE THIS WAS TO CONTINUE TO HINDER US, RIGHT? AND I DON'T, I DON'T, WE DON'T HAVE ENOUGH MONEY TO BE ABLE TO DO THAT, JUST BEING HONEST, YOU KNOW? SO, UM, THANK YOU FOR, IF Y'ALL HAVE ANY QUESTIONS AS WELL, YOU KNOW, I COULD SHOW YOU MENUS, I COULD SHOW YOU PREDICTIONS AND PAST EVENTS, RIGHT? I COULD SHOW YOU PLANNING OF WHAT WE EXPECT TO MAKE FOR LIQUOR, YOU KNOW, UM, IT WOULD BE VERY DIFFICULT TO BE UNDER THAT 51%, YOU KNOW, BECAUSE LIKE I SAID, SOMETIMES PEOPLE BUY BOTTLES AND STUFF LIKE THAT.
YOU IMAGINE SOMEONE SPENDS $250 ON A BOTTLE OR CHAMPAGNE AND THEN THEY ONLY WANNA BUY, YOU KNOW, MAKE A OMELET AND CHICKEN AND WAFFLES AND SHRIMP AND GRITS WON'T BE ABLE TO, YOU KNOW, MAKE THAT MEET THAT 60%, 50%, I MEAN, SORRY.
[00:50:01]
THANK YOU.OUR NEXT SPEAKER IS ARTESIA THOMAS ARTESIA.
MY NAME IS ARTESIA THOMAS AND I, I JUST WANNA START BY SAYING THAT SENA AND EDGAR ARE A PILLAR TO THE COMMUNITY.
THEY PROVIDE CULTURE, NEW EXPERIENCE, EVENTS FOR UP AND COMING BUSINESS ENTREPRENEURS TO BUILD CONNECTIONS WHILE ALSO PROVIDING PLENTY OF PEOPLE JOB OPPORTUNITIES AND RESOURCES WHILE GIVING THE BLACK COMMUNITY HOPE THAT THEY, IT IS POSSIBLE TO SUCCEED.
WHEN I STEP INTO ANY OF THEIR EVENTS AND ESTABLISHMENTS, IT PROVIDES ME WITH NOT ONLY A GOOD TIME BUT A SAFETY NET, KNOWING THAT I HAVE SOMEWHERE TO GO TO HAVE A GOOD TIME SAFELY.
I AM A FULL-TIME STUDENT AND ALSO A FULL-TIME WORKER.
I SUPPORT MYSELF AND SOMETIMES IT IS JUST NOT ENOUGH.
SENA AND EDGAR HAS PROVIDED ME WITH THE OPPORTUNITY FOR A PART-TIME JOB, WHILE ALSO BEING ABLE TO STEP AWAY FROM THE BURDEN OF TRYING TO STAY AFLOAT.
THEY CONTINUE TO CONTRIBUTE TO FINDING WAYS TO PROVIDE JOB RESOURCES AND WELCOMING ALL EQUALLY INTO A FRIENDLY, SAFE, FUN COMMUNITY WHILE BEING AFFORDABLE.
FOR PEOPLE OF MY AGE WHO CANNOT AFFORD LIFE, I'VE GROWN EVER SINCE.
I'VE BECOME AN EMPLOYEE FOR THEM.
I'VE BUILT LIFELONG BONDS, GROWN MY CLIENTELE FOR MY PERSONAL SWIMSUIT LINE, AND HAVE HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO ALSO BROADEN MY WORK, MY WORK ETHIC.
I AM IN TOTAL AGREEANCE TO THE ZONING CHANGE.
OUR NEXT SPEAKER IS YOLANDA KELLY.
YOLANDA WILL BE WITH JOINING US VIRTUALLY.
YOLANDA, PLEASE PRESS STAR SIX AND PROCEED WITH YOUR REMARKS.
HELLO, MY NAME IS YOLANDA KELLY AND I'M JUST IN, UM, AGREEMENT WITH THE ZONING BEING CHANGED FOR EDGAR AND SHAINA POWELL.
THEY ARE WONDERFUL, WONDERFUL, UM, ENTREPRENEURS AND THIS WILL HELP THEM TO INCREASE THEIR STATUS IN THE AUSTIN AREA.
THANK YOU YOLANDA, FOR YOUR COMMENTS.
OUR NEXT SPEAKER IS TERRANCE COLLINS.
TERRANCE WILL ALSO BE JOINING US VIRTUALLY TERRANCE.
PLEASE PRESS STAR SIX AND PROCEED WITH YOUR REMARKS.
HELLO, MY NAME IS TERRANCE COLLINS.
UM, AND I'M GONNA AGREEANCE, UH, WITH EVERYONE, UH, THAT HAS SPOKE, UH, PREVIOUSLY BEFORE ME.
UH, AND ALSO WANTED TO MENTION THAT, UM, THE OWNERS ALSO DO OTHER GOOD THINGS OUTSIDE OF THE BUSINESS FOR THE COMMUNITY.
THANK YOU TERRANCE FOR YOUR COMMENTS.
GIVEN THE REST OF OUR VIRTUAL SPEAKERS ARE NOT CURRENTLY PRESENT.
THAT CONCLUDES THE SPEAKERS ON THIS ITEM.
IS THERE ANYBODY ELSE IN THE ROOM? YES.
WAS THERE ANYBODY ELSE IN THE ROOM THAT WANTED TO SPEAK? YES.
I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT I WAS DOING, SO I DIDN'T KNOW ABOUT THE DONATING OF THE TIME.
UM, BUT I'M A RECENT, UH, RECENTLY MOVED HERE TO AUSTIN, LIVED ALL OVER THE COUNTRY.
AND WHEN WE GOT HERE WE FOUND IT VERY HARD TO FIND COMMUNITY, FIND CULTURAL EVENTS AND FIND CONNECTION.
AND IF YOU TRY TO DO YOUR OWN EVENTS HERE, IT IS EXTREMELY EXPENSIVE 'CAUSE YOU'RE COMPETING AGAINST ALL THE CORPORATE EVENTS AND PEOPLE WANT MONEY OUT OF THE WAZOO TO DO EVENTS.
EDGAR AND SINA CAME HERE AND THEY PUT THEIR MONEY ON THE LINE TO CREATE VENUES FOR US TO MAKE THINGS HAPPEN.
AND TO BE HONEST, IT'S MERELY IMPOSSIBLE IF THEY DON'T OPEN THESE DOORS TO FIND VENUE USED TO HOST EVENTS.
I PERSONALLY HOST A LOT OF COMMUNITY EVENTS, CULTURAL EVENTS.
WE DO A LOT OF THINGS TO TRY TO CREATE CULTURE IN OUR CITY AND WE NEED MORE FACILITIES AND MORE OPPORTUNITIES TO MAKE THIS HAPPEN.
AND SO WE REALLY ARE IN SUPPORT OF MAKING THIS HAPPEN AND WE THANK YOU IN ADVANCE FOR DOING SO.
OKAY, SO I BELIEVE THAT TAKES US ON TO OUR APPLICANT'S REBUTTAL.
HE'S WELCOME TO REBUTTAL, BUT THEY'VE ALL BEEN IN HIS SUPPORT.
DID YOU HAVE ANYTHING ELSE TO SAY? ANY SPEAKERS POSITION?
[00:55:01]
NO, UH, IT REALLY DO MAKE NO DIFFERENCE TO ME BECAUSE I DID LIKE THE ZONING I GET PRIOR BECAUSE I HAD PLANNED FOR IT.THE STUFF THEY KNOW HOW HARD I WORK FOR THAT.
BUT WHEN I NOTICED AFTER SEVERAL MONTHS, THESE GUYS ALL FACED WITH THESE HUGE THINGS THAT TABC REQUEST THEM TO DO.
AND THE PREVIOUS GUY AS, UH, SHARIA SAID THEY OBTAINED THEIR LICENSE.
SOMEHOW THEY TURNED OUT IT NOT TO BE TRUE, BUT THEY HAD IT FOR A YEAR AND A HALF.
BUT THIS GUY WENT IN KNOWING THAT THERE IS A LICENSE AND THEY COULD HAVE DO THE SAME THING.
SO THEY END UP WITH THIS BIG OLD THING SAYING, OH NO, YOU CANNOT STAY OPEN PAST MIDNIGHT.
AND THESE GUYS ARE, HONESTLY, THEY'RE WONDERFUL PEOPLE.
THEY'RE, THEY'VE BEEN PAYING ME, I'M A LANDLORD, RIGHT? I DON'T CARE ONE WAY THE OTHER, I GOT THE CONTRACT WITH THEM, THEY KNOW THEY HAVE TO PAY AND THEY'RE BEING PAINTED.
BUT I DON'T, ON THE OTHER HAND, I REALLY DON'T SEE IT FAIR IF THE NEXT DOOR NEIGHBOR IS ENTITLED TO THAT.
AND THEY BROUGHT TO MY ATTENTION AS WELL, WHY NOT? I SHOULD HAVE THAT PRIVILEGE TO HAVE IN CS ONE, WHETHER PART OF IT CONDITION, PART OF IT NOT CONDITION.
SAVE EVERY ONE OF US FOR GOING FROM HERE TO THE CITY COUNCIL, DOING IT ALL OVER AGAIN.
THESE PEOPLE HAS A LOT OF MONEY SO FAR FOR THE FRONT AND THEY DESERVE TO BE REWARDED IF IT'S POSSIBLE.
IS THAT ALL THE SPEAKERS? YES.
WHAT IS YOUR NAME AGAIN? I'M SORRY.
AND I JUST WANTED TO UM, BACK UP WHAT EVERYONE ELSE IS SAYING.
THERE ARE GREAT PEOPLE IN OUR COMMUNITY, UM, AND AUSTIN ALL, YOU KNOW, WHEN I FIRST MOVED HERE IT WAS ALWAYS KEEP AUSTIN WEIRD AND I FEEL LIKE WE'RE KIND OF LOSING A LITTLE BIT OF THAT.
AND I THINK THAT THIS COULD, UM, HELP BRING A LITTLE BIT OF THAT INITIATIVE BACK AND MAKE IT AUSTIN LIKE CULTURALLY DIVERSE AND OFFER SPACES WHERE, UM, WE NORMALLY DON'T HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY LIKE WITHIN THE CITY LIMITS AND THINGS LIKE THAT.
ONE OF THE KEY COMMENTS IN THE BLACK COMMUNITY ALL THE TIME RIGHT NOW IS THAT, UM, WE'RE PUSHED OUT TO THE OUTSKIRTS SO YOU GUYS COULD HELP US AND, AND HELP THEM HELP OUR COMMUNITY ALTOGETHER BY, UM, WE'RE DOING THAT ZONING.
SO WE HAVE A SPACE HERE AND A FOOT IN THE AUSTIN AREA.
IF, IF YOU WOULD DO ME A FAVOR AND GET A FORM AND GO AHEAD AND FILL OUT THE PAPERWORK OKAY.
THAT WAY WE HAVE IT ALL OFFICIAL.
UH, ANYBODY ELSE? WE HAVE A MOTION TO CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING.
MOTION IS APPROVED UNANIMOUSLY TO CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING.
UM, I I BELIEVE THAT IT, THERE IS A COMPLICATION JUST BECAUSE THEY WOULD HAVE TO GET A SURVEY OF THE BUILDING OKAY.
TO PROVIDE FIELD NOTES TO DESCRIBE IT.
IF THEY, IF WE, AND I'M JUST GOING OUT ON A LIMB, IF WE APPROVE SOMETHING LIKE THAT, WOULD THEY HAVE TIME BETWEEN NOW AND WHEN IT GOES TO COUNSEL TO GET THAT THOSE FIELD NOTES TO YOU? UH, I DON'T KNOW WHAT THEY WOULD HAVE TO HIRE A SURVEYOR TO DO THAT, BUT OKAY.
THAT WOULD, YOU KNOW, BE NECESSARY BEFORE WE COULD DRAFT AN ORDINANCE BASED ON YOUR RECOMMENDATION.
IF THAT IS YOUR RECOMMENDATION.
I JUST, UM, WANTED TO CLARIFY ON THAT.
SO, UM, JUST TO MAKE SURE THE, THE LOMU IS FACING JOLLYVILLE ROAD, RIGHT? RIGHT.
AND UM, AND SO YOUR RECOMMENDATION IS HAVING THE CS ONE FACING 180 3 AND MAINTAINING THE LOMU, THE EXISTING BUILDINGS THAT ARE ON THAT TRACK.
YOU COULD SPOT ZONE JUST THOSE BUILDINGS WITH CS ONE, THE CS ONE IN THAT WAY EVERYTHING ELSE WOULD STAY THE SAME.
STAY THE WAY THIS, SO WE'RE NOT CHANGING ANYTHING ON JOLLYVILLE.
UM, BUT THOSE BUILDINGS WOULD THEN BE BROUGHT UP INTO CODE BY THE SPOTS ZONE IN CS ONE IF YOU LOOK AT THE TRACK NEXT DOOR, THAT'S WHAT WAS DONE ON THAT ONE.
UH, THERE'S JUST SPOTS WHERE THE ACTUAL LEASE TENANTS WERE AT, BUT THEY DO HAVE TO PROVIDE A SET OF FIELD NOTES FOR THAT SPACE.
BECAUSE THAT, I MEAN THE APPLICANTS MAKE A COMPELLING POINT.
[01:00:01]
HEARD A LOT FROM SHADOW OAKS AND BARRINGTON OAKS AND BALCONES OAKS ABOUT JOLLYVILLE ROAD.A LOT AND UM, NO, UM, NEIGHBORHOOD FOLKS HAVE BEEN HERE TO CRY, UM, AT THE COUNCIL TODAY.
UM, BUT UM, BUT I REALLY LIKE YOUR RECOMMENDATION.
IS THAT SOMETHING THE OWNER WOULD, COULD LOOK INTO TO GET A SET OF FIELD NOTES? JUST A BOUNDARY OF THOSE BUILDINGS? UH, THAT, THAT WE COULD SPOT ZONE THOSE BUILDINGS.
CS ONE, LET'S SAY FOOTPRINT ZONE INSTEAD OF F SORRY, FOOT TERM OF ART GOING BACK PROBABLY WAY BEFORE THIS, BUT A FOOTPRINT ZONING
AS I SAID IN THE BEGINNING OF MY, MY TALK, I DON'T LIKE TO HAVE TWO DIFFERENT TYPE OF ZONING HERE RIGHT NOW.
YOU KNOW, WE GOT CS THREE, NO WE DON'T EVEN HAVE CS ONE.
YOU, YOU WANNA JUST DO THE BUILDING AND THAT'S A LOT OF THE EXPENSES INCLUDING SURVEY.
AND WHEN I WAS DOING MY CHANGE TWO YEARS AGO, I PROVIDED A SURVEY FOR WHAT I WAS ASKING FOR AND UH, WHATEVER HAS TO DO WITH JOLLYVILLE AND WANTED IT TO LEAVE.
CORRIDOR SCHEDULING, I PROVIDED ALL THAT TO THEM, UH, STUFF RIGHT THERE.
AND, UH, I I DON'T UNDERSTAND.
I MEAN THIS IS TOO MUCH TROUBLE
THAT'S WHAT I'M SUGGESTING WOULD MATCH WHAT WAS DONE ON THE ADJACENT TRACT WHERE JUST THE, THE BUILDING THAT NEEDED THE CS ONE ZONING WHERE ZONE CS ONE AND THE OTHER ZONING REMAINED ON THE REST OF THE PROPERTY.
I DON'T, I REALIZE THAT, BUT I DON'T THINK TABC IS GONNA GO FOR THAT BECAUSE THEY'RE GONNA THROW EVENTS IN THERE.
THEY'RE GONNA HAVE LATE NIGHT PARTIES.
THE ENTIRE PROPERTY IS GONNA BE USED AS PARKING LOT AND THAT'S GONNA THROW US HERE IN THIS SITUATION MAY, YOU KNOW, IT WILL NOT BE DESIRABLE FOR EVERYBODY.
