All those in favor say aye.

Any opposed?

Item number one request for approval of nine twenty-one Willow Street.

Mr.

Perkins, what do you have to say about this?

It's up to this body to approve that.

Um staff recommends uh approval any questions for Mr.

Perkins.

Yeah, Mr.

Perkins, if if I may, sir.

Commissioner, um when these are and I guess there are regulations other than zoning.

Who else has to approve this?

Is there a state facility or a city, another city uh entity that has to approve this type of move from one to six to seven to twelve?

Uh so to my knowledge, based off the reading the ordinance, it's uh up to this body to make that determination before going forward to the city council uh as far as the inspection of the the house.

Uh fire looks at it along with uh I believe the police go by and check out the residents and then also the state as part of their permitting process checks it out.

And has everyone else checked off the boxes, or is it up to us to do the zoning first and then the others check off the other boxes?

There's no order uh prescribed that at which it has to happen to my knowledge.

Uh fire and zoning have both approved before coming to this body.

Okay, and so who is left?

Uh I'd have to defer to the applicant.

Uh she's more in tune with who she's contacted than I am.

Okay.

Come on up, come on up to the podium if you don't mind.

That way we'll be able to swear you in and be able to hear you.

So your name and address for the record.

Uh my name's Hennessy Cabrera.

I live on 921 Willow Street.

Okay.

Can you raise your right hand?

I'm gonna swear you in quickly.

Do you swear or affirm that your testimony today will be truthful?

I do.

Thank you.

Uh my name's Hennessy Cabrera, I live on 921 Willow Street.

Um he was what were you asking again?

Okay.

Mr.

Perkins said that there are several entities that have to check the boxes to make the final approval for you to go from one to six to six, seven to twelve.

Okay.

So we have to do zoning.

I guess fire has to check, police have to check, uh state entities have to check.

Yes.

Uh I don't know all the ones, those are the ones Mr.

Perkins.

Yes, sir.

That's the only ones.

Um, I have before I get a state um state approved.

I have to get my zoning and my fire approved before I okay, and then you go to the state.

Yes, sir.

Okay.

I guess it's probably a bad question to ask what the state looks at.

Because the state probably looks at everything, right?

Yes, they look at everything.

Okay.

Because they had me a bit they hand me a big old packet.

I'm reading through it every night.

Everything.

Okay.

But in order to go to the state, you have to come through us and fire first.

Because um, I have to give them like, hey, look, here's my zoning, and here's my my fire, my fire.

Okay.

And just out of curiosity, not uh not that it makes a whole lot of difference to this body, but uh you I guess you've reached your capacity at six, and so you want to take more children?

Is that well I haven't opened yet, so oh okay.

So I'm gonna start off with six, and then hopefully, like in a couple months I can go to twelve because there's a lot of families that are needing health or like care for their children.

Oh, yeah, yeah, that's a that's a big that's a big need, and I'm glad you're feeling that's good for our community and nationwide, but particularly for our community.

So and are you in that residence now?

Yes.

Okay.

I am.

And that it well, okay.

That's all I need.

Okay.

You're okay.

No, that's yeah, all right.

We we probably can't dig too deep for details here.

That we'll leave that up to the state and the as long as other entities are involved.

Okay, thank you.

Any other questions before you leave, ma'am, from the commission?

Commissioner Sol, did you have something?

No, uh I have a question.

Commissioner Garza.

I have a question for Mr.

Hallwald.

Do we have other businesses of this type in the includes?

Mr.

Perkins is nodding, yes.

So, probably several.

Yeah, I I'm assuming that there's lots of uh home-based child care uh within the community.

The question is, and they've gone through the same procedure.

Oh, who knows?

Well, it depends.

I mean, obviously the the number of uh children that they uh take care of dictates this.

So if if she was up to the six, correct, then she wouldn't have to she it's permitted and allowable use of the property underneath uh the regular zoning.

It's because she's going above that six is why it's a conditional use.

Oh, okay.

Okay.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Yes, sir.

And anything over 12 would be a formal daycare that can only be done in commercial area.

Uh okay.

Okay.

Any other questions for the petitioner?

Okay, seeing none.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Move approval.

Move to approve by Commissioner Martin.

Second by Commissioner Klein.

Any more discussion?

All those in favor say aye.

Aye.

Aye.

Any opposed, same sign.

Thank you for thank you for that.

Thank you, ma'am.

Appreciate you.

And Mr.

Sherry.

Thanks for doing that for the community.

Just to let the applicant know that uh this is a recommendation to the city commission.

And so it'll actually go to the city commission at their August 21st uh meeting for final approval.

Thank you, Mr.

Holwall.

Moving on to item number two under new business.

Request for approval of replat of North Street Business Park Unit 2.

Lots 9 and 10.

Mr.

Perkins.

Yes, sir.

This is part of the project Aggie development that's happening where they want to build a warehouse and bring in uh 87 plus jobs.

Um they're just trying to formally approve the combination of these two lots before they uh break ground and start the the construction of that warehouse.

And you say in here that you give notice there was zero responding in protest.

That is correct.

I even went and did a couple of knock knock door knocks on the residences in that area and no one had any negative comment.

Okay.

It's hard to say no to 87 new jobs.

Yes, sir.

Anything else from the commission.

Motion to approve.

Motion approved by Commissioner Klein.

Uh Commissioner Martin, I saw you moving towards the microphone.

Yeah, I just does it matter to us or do we need to know what it's for or just I don't think we have to know.

But it doesn't they don't want this commission to know much.

But it doesn't necessarily affect our vote, right?

No.

Okay.

I'll second that.

Second by Commissioner, so all those in favor of the zone change say aye.

Aye.

Any opposed, same sign.

Motion passes.

Thank you.

Anything else to come before the commission today?

For the good of the order.

Next date and time is uh for meeting is three o'clock Wednesday, September 10th.

If I'm a betting man, I would say we're probably not gonna meet.

But if we if we do have something to come before the commission, we will meet on September 10th.

And Mr.

Chairman, that actually is the date of uh leadership clovis with which Mr.

Uh Perkins is attending.

Oh and so if we do have applicants, we may have to adjust that date, but we'll reach out to you to schedule a time.

Okay, I'm taking the leadership club, yeah.

Thank you.

Twenty-five years ago I went through that program.

It's hard to believe.

I was in the first class.

Oh goodness.

Now you're showing your age.

I show it every day.

Well, I guess that's all we have today.

It's uh short meeting, but it's nice to see everyone again and take care and be safe.

Meeting adjourned.
