Mayor Jones, other members of the city, San Antonio City Council.

Once again, my name is Jack M.

Finger, and uh one item I do wish to bring your attention on this portion of the agenda.

It's a it's actually item, the very first item, item number one.

It's about an alcohol variance.

Over on Mr.

Mr.

Galvana, I believe this is in your district there.

You see, I think yes.

Um it's over at the over the Northwest Crossing elementary school.

Within 300 feet of that school where school kids play, there is going to be an attempt to sell alcohol.

Yeah, we uh we have uh rules against those things, and uh at least especially when it comes to the the state level, and so consequently, sir.

Uh they they think it's a bad idea if you have uh are offering alcohol just where the school kids uh walk.

I'd appreciate it, sir.

If you would uh say no to that one then, yeah, yes, uh instead of just letting it sail right on through.

Yes, uh anyway.

That's that's what I have to say about that one.

Thank you, sir.

Sister Veronica Cahill, followed by Jay Michael Jeffers.

Thank you for having us.

Um I want to speak in favor of the zoning, rezoning of our congregational cemetery at 301 Yucca Street.

I just want to say thank you all, and thank you, uh Councilman Leo and all of you.

Okay, thank you.

Please vote.

Motion carries.

We'll now move on to the individual items.

Uh please staff, please start with item number two.

Good afternoon, Mayor and Council.

Logan's Faroe Development Services Department.

Agenda item number two is an alcohol variance to allow on premise consumption at 7280 UTSA Boulevard Suite 101 for a proposed restaurant use.

Staff mailed one notice to a school within 300 feet, that being the University of Texas at San Antonio.

UTSA is opposed to the waiver of the 30% limitation for alcohol sales.

Thank you.

Madam Clerk, is anyone signed up to speak on this item?

Five individuals.

We have five individuals.

We have five individuals.

The first person is Andrew Wangler, followed by Jill Layman.

You have two minutes.

I'm here to respectfully urge you not to allow these variances.

And the TABC code at UTSA Boulevard.

Our community has lived through these consequences before.

In the past, uh late night establishments were operating at 7280 UTSA Boulevard at the entrance to the College Park subdivision.

We saw significant increases in crime, public safety, uh incidents, late night disturbances, fights, vandalism, parking issues into the neighborhood, and unsafe traffic conditions.

These impacts were not abstract.

They disrupted the peace, security, and well-being of the families that live there.

The codes and provisions are not arbitrary.

They are safeguards intended to ensure the establishments are away from schools and churches and remain restaurants first, not bars in disguise.

When alcohol sales dominated in the past, it created environments to fuel the very problems our neighborhoods experienced.

Excessive noise, disorderly conduct, and threats to our safety.

The result was a direct and negative impact on college parks.

City codes exist to protect the residents and balance business development with public safety.

If exceptions are granted here, we risk repeating the very cycle that harmed our neighborhood before.

Written by denying upholding the code written and denying these variances is an obvious way to honor that commitment to the community.

So in closing, while I remain opposed to the variances, if the council does choose to approve, I respectfully ask that quarterly verification of alcohol sales be a condition of approval.

This safeguard will help ensure compliance training.

Thank you, sir.

So you can submit the rest of your comments for the record.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Jill Layman, followed by Doug Mueller.

You have two minutes.

Hi, Jill Lehman.

I'm a homeowner at College Park Subdivision since 1983.

And was assured by each of those owners that their objective was to be a quote good neighbor to our neighborhood.

However, each of these bars, bar owners failed in that venture.

We have had traffic.

We've had shootings, we've had stabbings, as many as eight car break-ins per weekend.

So it's just a if this uh five monkeys owner wants to open an Indian restaurant and serve beer and wine and close at a reasonable hour, we wouldn't even be here.

We would be there at five monkeys.

But as it is, we totally object to yet another bar being there at the mouth of our subdivision.

It is very, very disruptive to peaceful living.

Thank you very much.

Doug Mueller, followed by Jack Finger.

You have two minutes.

Thank you for hearing me.

Just to add to a few other things that happened when we had a bar at this previous location.

We had bar patrons defecating and urinating in our yards.

They were running into they were driving into our mailboxes and cars and across our lawns.

I have 85-year-old neighbors that live next to me.

They had people trying to break into their house.

All that stopped when the previous bar closed down.

Two main distinctions are revealed when comparing bars and restaurants in our area.

Number one, their percent annual revenue from selling alcoholic beverages.

Number two, their hours of operations.

Researching the hours of operations of various bars and restaurants in our vicinity.

A restaurant's usual hours are Sunday through Thursday, 11 a.m.

to 10 p.m.

Friday and Saturday, it's 11 a.m.

to 11 p.m.

Only bars are open past 10 p.m.

on Sunday through Thursday or past 11 p.m.

on Friday and Saturday.

Therefore, to protect our neighborhood from damaging and violent activities associated with bars.

Number one, please do not grant the variants allowing more than 30% of their revenue from alcoholic sales.

And please do not grant the city's late hour certificate and restrict the establishment's hours of operations to those of a restaurant.

Again, which are Sunday through Thursday, 11 a.m.

to 10 p.m.

And Friday and Saturday, 11 a.m.

to 11 p.m.

Thank you for hearing me and thank you for protecting our families.

Jack Finger, followed by Arun Hassana.

Madam Mayor, other members of the city council, my name is Jack Finger, and uh this item deals with the idea of allowing alcohol to be sold within 300 feet of not just some elementary school where school kids who haven't even tasted alcohol yet uh travel, but a college campus, UTSA, where you have college kids ready for to go to Taiwan on after after class there.

Now I also allude to a uh another item that uh is attached to to this uh the situation.

Uh perhaps some of you also saw the uh Sunday Express News front page article dealing with the city council and the culture of alcohol.

It mentioned a couple of you folks by name.

So um again, we that now the question becomes what will you do on this particular item dealing with alcohol, deciding if it shall be sold within 300 feet of a well, not just a school but a college campus, sir.

No, uh this is uh quite frankly, this should be a no-brainer.

But uh in all the years I've been coming here, I I have seen time after time after time after just a few minutes ago.

Uh one of your council said, let's go ahead and allow alcohol to be sold right within 300 feet of a school.

No, I think uh the time has come when you say you need to say no to something like this.

They can buy beer and alcohol and anything else they want to, anywhere, practically anywhere else in this town, but please not close to where where uh college kids and school kids are studying.

Arun Hassana Respected Mayor and Councilmember Ms.

Gonzalez and the rest of the council.

Thank you for giving this opportunity.

I represent the business uh which we are trying to start there.

I uh during this process, the council member office have helped us negotiate with the neighborhood understand their concerns, and uh with all respect to their concerns from the past businesses, which have basically operated as nightclubs, which is much different than what we are proposing.

And I we haven't renegotiated most of the terms, and I request the council member and the council to approve the variance.

Thank you.

Item number two was in District 8.

Councilmember uh Meso Gonzalez is recognized to speak.

Thank you, Mayor.

Uh I'd like to thank the College Park Neighborhood Association, UTSA and impacted neighbors for meeting with the applicant and working with my office over the last couple of months.

I'd also like to thank the applicant and property owner for being willing to hear concerns and ultimately amend their application.

For the record, I have a letter from UTSA stating their opposition for any alcohol sales above 30%.

I'll hand this to the city clerk.

After careful consideration and public input, I move to approve the alcohol variants with the following conditions.

The sale of alcoholic beverages shall be for on premise consumption only and constitute no more than 30% of the establishment's annual gross revenues.

The applicant shall on an annual basis submit to development services department the necessary documentation to verify the amount of alcohol sales.

Hours of operation shall be Sunday through Wednesday, 11 a.m.

to midnight, Thursday through Saturday, 11 a.m.

to 1 a.m.

Alcohol sales shall end at midnight any day of the week.

The alcohol variant shall not transfer to different owners or different land uses.

Change of ownership shall terminate this variance.

The alcohol variant shall terminate in the event of non-operation or non-use for a period of 12 or more months.

An outside sound amplification shall not be permitted as a matter of public interest.

Thank you, Mayor.

As a point of clarification from the legal team, the uh the restriction that alcohol be consumed on the premises, is that incongruent with state law that allows for alcohol to be purchased and taken off the premises?

Everything all of the conditions were vetted through the city attorney's office, and they are all fine legally for to proceed.

Thank you.

Okay.

Uh is there any other council uh discussion on item two?

Second, sorry, second, thank you.

Is there any other council discussion on item two?

Okay.

There's a motion and a second to approve with conditions on item number two.

Please vote.

Okay.

The motion carries staff, please uh start with number uh with move on to number uh five and six.

Thank you.

Absolutely.

Agenda items number five and six or a plan amendment and change of zoning, amending the east side community area plan from medium density residential to urban mixed use and rezoning the property from MF 33 with conditional use for medical clinic administrative offices to IDZ1 with uses permitted in the C1 Light Commercial District.

The property is located at 1921 and 1923 Burnett Street.

Staff recommends denial with an alternate recommendation of MF 33 with conditional use for food service establishment or professional office.

Planning commission and zoning commission recommend approval.

Staff mailed 28 notices, three were returned in favor, zero returned in opposition.

Outside of the 200 foot notification boundary, 11 were returned in favor and one opposed.

The Harvard placed East Lawn Late uh Neighborhood Association is not opposed.

Thank you we have uh two individuals signed up to speak on items five and six.

Randy Warmley and Jack Finger.

You have two minutes each.

Thank you all for uh hearing us.

Um she has not signed up, so you'll have to um speak for the two minutes if you'd like.

Okay.

Thank you.

Okay.

Um thank you for hearing me in today.

Uh we are the um owners of 1921-23 um Burnett Street.

Um, what we have done is we've populated as far as uh looking at community help and looking to just to change this community.

Uh we have outreach um set up in there as far as doing classes, working with the homeless, working with the orphanage.

There's a senior living facility that's nearby that we will be commuting with, so we'll have them over there at least once, twice out of the week, helping to bridge that gap between the um the elderly and the children.

We also have a ministry.

The ministry will also operate out of this building.

We have professional offices where we'll be leasing out to professionals, whether they're medical insurance or what have you.

Because we're gonna have uh resources to where we'll be able to help feed them, uh, provide clothing if they need uh furniture or whatever the case may be for their everyday life.

And we're also gonna be having classes to help people as far as uh in finances to show them how to build their own businesses and so on and so forth.

And we also have partnered up with a couple of the other ministries that's nearby, like Antioch and some other places, and we also looking to serve both Fort Sam and St.

Philip's College, along with Incarted were.

So we are looking to, like I said, make a change in this community has been well needed for a very long time.

So we just trying to bring the community back to that community.

And thank you for listening to me today.

Jack Finger, you have two minutes.

Madam Mayor, other members of our illustrious San Antonio City Council.

For the record, my name is Jack M.

Finger.

Item number five and six.

On the zoning commission, zoning meeting.

The uh we have a number of red flags with this particular zoning case.

The planning staff thought it was a bad idea, and so did the zoning staff.

They said no.

Why did they say no to uh you're going ahead with this proposal from changing it from multifamily to commercial?

Well, mainly because the uh in their words, the commercial use places right is being placed right in the middle, right in the middle, smack dab in the middle of a residential block.

Yeah, residences where people live in houses and in apartments there.

Uh no, I think uh Mr.

Castillo Anguiano, I think uh this is in your district over on Burnett Street, and uh consequently, I think I really uh have the audacity to suggest that you say no to this one.

Yeah, I mean, these are the people who have to live right next to it there, sir.

So consequently, I look forward to your uh offering, suggesting denial to one of these these babies here.

Thank you.

Item num items number five and six are in district two.

Councilmember Castillo Angiano is recognized to speak.

Thank you, Mayor.

Items five through six are on today's individual agenda due to staff denial.

Our applicant is attempting to achieve a co-working meeting space with an included coffee bar, which will be open to the public, and because of such, they are requesting a rezoning of IDZ1 with uses in C1 that would allow them to functionally operate their coffee bar serving our constituency.

The applicant has extensively engaged their neighbors, assuring folks are aware and in support of their project.

Giving so I will be motioning to approve.

Second.

Is there any other council discussion on items five and six?

Okay.

Uh there's a motion and a second to approve.

Please vote.

The motion carries.

Staff, please move to item number 13.

Agenda item number 13 is a zoning case rezoning from RM4 to C2P with conditional use for motor vehicle sales, properties located at 227 and 2235 West South Cross Boulevard.

Staff and Zoning Commission recommend approval.

Staff mailed 16 notices, two were returned in favor, three opposed.

The Cantana Community Neighborhood Association is opposed as well.

Outside of the 200 foot notification boundary, we had one notice returned in favor, one opposed.

And I do need to note that this is uh this would require a supermajority uh to approve.

We have 30 percent written back opposed.

Thank you.

There are several folks signed up to speak on this.

Uh the first one is Elizabeth Russell, followed by Mauricio Castillo.

You have two minutes.

Good afternoon.

Good afternoon.

My name is Elizabeth Russell.

I'm an attorney representing Danny's Auto Recycling, which is at 902 Somerset.

My address, however, is 101 Stumburg, San Antonio, Texas, 78204.

Um Danny's auto recycling is the property directly across the street from South Cross, and there has been a long history between these parties.

Um the history is there because the applicant has unfortunately violated several provisions of the municipal code in which they have torn down structures without permission.

They have um expanded operations, they've created driveways, and they have even started doing business without permission.

This is not the first time this particular applicant has attempted to seek a zoning change.

Um my client's particular issues is are that a driveway was constructed directly across from his driveway.

He has 18 wheelers that come in and out of his property, and a driveway being constructed directly across without permission is obviously going to create major traffic concerns.

Um there's already a lot of traffic issues in this area as councilwoman Castillo is aware of.

She was actually at our property at one point when there was an accident due to some of the traffic issues while the councilwoman was there.

Um we are requesting that you deny this application.

This property owner does not follow the restrictions that have been put in place by the city previously.

We don't expect they will continue to do so in the future.

We also just don't think the zoning is appropriate because of the driveways that have been created and the conflict created because the applicant just doesn't know how to follow the protocol.

Thank you.

Good afternoon, mayor and council members.

My name is Mauricio Castillo, Lulac president Rise of World Council and founder of Manu Bear County and nonprofit supported single fathers.

Um today I'm in full support of Mr.

Gonzalez and his rezoning requests.

This request is not about changing the character of the neighborhood, it's about correcting the zoning mistake.

The current zoning RM4 does not fit the reality of this property, especially given that 98% of the surrounding area is already industrial or commercial business.

Even Chairman Bustamante himself acknowledged that residential does not belong at this location.

The city's own professional staff recommended approval for C2P CD zoning.

This conditional use allows oversight and ensures the property will be responsibly managed.

Denying this request will not only go against staff's recommendation, it would also set up future conflicts with tenants, whether residential or commercial come in and find themselves surrounded by industrial activity where they're not prepared for.

So I'm here uh to support uh the zoning change.

So if you would uh do the right thing, I think we go over and beyond to help all these other corporations to get where they need to do in order for us to be able to uh uh you know have an economic impact that's positive on our community.

So this instant uh I I think this is what you would be doing by approving uh that zoning uh thank you, Jack Finger, followed by Larry Garcia.

Madam Mayor, other members of the council, my name is Jack Finger, and uh this particular case, Ms.

Castillo, I believe, is in your district there.

Yes, uh occasionally, as you know, uh you get a case that uh is rather controversial.

Uh one what makes this one controversial is the fact that uh well the Quintana Community Neighborhood Association opposed it.

You had a at the zoning commission meeting, you had as many as well at that meeting you had at least two people speak against it when you're doing good to have any.

Um the 200 foot boundary, you had as many as 20 percent of the people saying they didn't want it when you're doing good to get anywhere from five to ten percent.

What was the thing that they don't want?

Another used car lot.

Yep, along uh South Cross Boulevard.

Yep.

So uh maybe maybe uh instead of uh compromising on on your vet your values like just about everybody else has done today.

Why not uh surprise us all and set a good example and say no to to something like another used car lot.

Thank you.

Larry Garcia, followed by Jerry Addondo.

Larry Garcia with the with the Thomson Neighborhood Association.

Uh we stand with the Guintana Neighborhood Association in the request for this denial.

We have a history, long history with this uh person.

They're really bad neighbors.

They continually block the streets with uh bandit signs, they put up bandit signs, they just built a retaining wall without permits.

They do have a hard time following the rules, and what we're afraid of is that they desperately need parking for their metal recycling facility, and what's going to stop them from just utilizing this car lot change for their uh part or their employee parking.

I know that they really don't want to combine these two businesses, but it's husband and wife.

Uh the husband is actually the owner of these lots, but he's also the manager of the recycling entity.

So we do really have a hard time with giving them any giving them an inch because they'll take four or five miles.

Uh I respectfully request uh denial.

Thank you very much.

Final speaker is Jerry Adondo.

Uh yeah, Jerry Adolondo, and uh I echo the opposition.

I'm asking for uh being opposed to this zoning case, but let me give you some specifics on that on the history.

This has been going on for like about four years.

The two properties in question is 2227 and 2235 South Cross.

On 22 27, the property has had uh 13 code violations.

The property at 2235 has had 26 code violations, and they still have open violations as we speak today.

The point being is that every time they said they're gonna do something, they just let have not done it.

And so um the way the property lays out.

If I could just show you one picture here, um can you do that there?

Uh okay.

So if you look at that, can you put the picture up there on the screen?

There you go.

Okay.

So if you look at the uh at the picture there, the two uh in red at the bottom, which is the properties in question, and the uh black mark where it says a check, that is the metal recycling facility that they currently own.

And what they have been working with in the last in the zoning uh history, they had asked at one to one time for an I2S, then they came back and said, Oh, how about an I1S?

Then they came back and said, How about an L?

Then they came back and said, How about an IDZ?

And then today they're asking for another one.

And if in fact even put a C2 on it, they land out putting the cars on the street itself because the properties are so small, and this is what they had.

Pardon me, let me give you this.

Here's uh a picture also of what they had actually been using the property for in the past, which they got cited and they had to move those trucks.

But the the intent that they've had all along is based on the history of using it for the metal recycle.

So you can submit the rest of your comments if you'd like for the record.

Okay, thank you.

Item number 13 is in District 5.

Councilwoman uh Castillo is recognized to speak.

Thank you, Mayor and thank you to all the folks who showed up to give public comment on this item today.

This rezoning sits in a part of the city of San Antonio that has been environmentally overburdened, and this was a rezoning that was previously denied in February of 2024.

Uh, as mentioned the Quintana Neighborhood Association is fully opposed, and the light area and the surrounding area is industrial, residential mixed use and commercial, but predominantly light industrial.

The neighborhood remains in denial to this due to the oversaturation of health and equity concerns.

Uh, and with that I motion for denial.

Second.

Is there any other council discussion on item number 13?

Sorry, really, go ahead.

Correct, agreeing to deny.

I always get that confused.

Okay.

There is a motion and a second to deny item number 13.

Please vote.

The motion carries.

Staff, please brief on items 20 and 21.

Agenda items 20 and 21 are a plan amendment and change of zoning, amending the north sector plan from suburban tier to specialized center, and rezoning the property from C3 to C3S with a specific use authorization for outside storage, screening from public right away and adjacent property required.

And the property is located at 13790 Judson Road.

Staff and planning commission recommend denial.

Zoning Commission recommends approval.

The applicant is amending their plan amendment uh request to regional center.

Staff mailed 15 notices.

One was returned in favor and one is opposed.

Thank you.

We have several folks signed up to speak on items 20 and 21.

Uh Jack Finger followed by David Dye.

You have two minutes, please mayor, other members of the San Antonio City Council.

Once again, my name is Jack M.

Finger, and uh this uh these items, item 20, 21, they uh fall into Mr.

White that believed your district there.

It's over on uh what is it, Judson Road.

And uh basically it's about placing a uh commercial establishment right in the middle of well, well, it's about uh changing it, the intensity of it there.

Um the people whom we hire to tell us about these things, give us some professional advice on it.

The uh the planning the the planning staff and the zoning staff, they they thought these this idea was a very bad one.

And then they're in fact, even the uh the planning commission even voted against it as well.

That's that's three out of four organizations here saying no to this thing.

Uh what were the reasons?

They said I'm just quoting from saying it expands industrial uses right next to multifamily residential areas.

Yeah.

Uh they did offer an alternative.

If that they thought it should be amended to a lower intensity of base zoning with that that conditional use.

And said that that would be appropriate, but not uh to the point that you have it here.

So, yes, uh Mr.

White, I think I uh would encourage you just to if you want to go ahead with this, make an amendment to it.

What is it?

The C2.

I think they were they were suggesting.

Anyway, I think if you you know more about these things than I do, please uh go ahead and do that.

Thank you.

David Dye, followed by Yvonne Isell.

Two minutes, sir.

Good afternoon, Mayor and Council.

I'm David Dye, President of Dye Development.

We're land surveyor and civil engineer.

I represent Mr.

Gene Myers, the owner of the subject property.

He has owned the property in its current configuration since 1999.

And he has leased the property to right now, it's leased to a subsidiary of Home Depot, which is called Corinne Maine.

And they supply municipal water and sewer pipe and fire fighting, you know, like fire hydrants and fittings, et cetera, for capital projects.

Was actually a violation of the uh of outdoor storage under the existing zoning.

So uh so we contacted the city and um and it's culminated with where we're at now.

So thank you, sir.

Sir, if you have oh, okay.

There was a mistake here on the on the clerk's side.

You have one minute, sir.

Thank you.

Okay, great.

Um, so yeah, certainly Mr.

Myers does not want to down zone the property to a C2.

He doesn't want to give up his uh current C3.

Now that all this material has been stored outside for literally since I believe it's 2006.

It's screened from the front road.

Nobody would even know it's there unless they actually walked into the property.

The rear of the property is zoned I1, so the uh the we're just uh there's just a rectangular portion in the middle of the property that we're asking to uh just allow the outdoor storage, which is again has been used in that manner for well 19 years this August.

So that's the long and the short of it.

And I can certainly answer any questions if y'all have any.

Thank you.

Ivan Nizel, you have two minutes, ma'am.

Thank you, Councilman.

Um Ivan Isel, and I live at 13750 Jetson Road.

And I'm just right there to that next building of that company.

And if it's they're gonna have chemicals there, it's not feasible because the body shape next to them, body shop that's right there, has chemicals.

I don't have that many chemicals for that, but I live right next to them, and it's just that I can really touch their building with with my hands.

Now I'm on my property.

So if this is gonna be passing, I need to know because there's the school there across the street, and also a di uh child care facility across the street.

So, you know, chemicals explode, so I just need to know if who's gonna pay for the damages to my house, to my building, to my business, and who where will my kids live?

That's all I have.

Thank you.

Items 20 and 21 are in district 10.

Councilmember White is recognized to speak.

Yes, thank you, Mayor.

I want to thank staff and uh everybody who worked on um on this case, including the the folks in the in the surrounding area.

Um appreciate zoning commission's uh review of it and and their recommendation of approval.

Uh and with all of that, uh I move to approve uh this item.

Who was the quick clarification?

Is it approved as amended?

Councilman White for the plan amendment.

The the applicant was uh amending their request for the plan amendment to do that to regional center.

Yes, it is approved as amended.

Yes, thank you.

Is there any other council discussion on items 20 and 21?

Okay.

There's a motion and a second to approve as amended.

Items 20 and 21, please vote.

Okay.

The motion carries staff, please present on item 22.

Agenda item 22 is a zoning case, rezoning from O2 to C2NA C D with uh conditional use for an office warehouse.

The property is generally located in the 6,000 block of Royal Ridge Drive.

Staff and Zoning Commission recommend approval.

The applicant is amending their zoning request to C2NA on a 3.792 acre tract out of NCB 13782 and to C2 and A C D with conditional use for office warehouse on a 0.9349 acre tract out of NCB 13782 with an amended site plan, which is on your screen.

Staff mailed 53 notices.

There are no members signed up, members of the public signed up to speak on this.

Item number 22 is in District 10.

Councilmember White's recognized to speak.

Thank you, Mayor.

I want to thank the developer on this one for working so diligently with the surrounding neighbors.

We had numerous uh community meetings on this, and uh after everything uh I heard we felt comfortable uh with the site plan and this I I move uh to approve this item as amended.

Second is there any other council discussion on item 22?

There's a motion and a second to approve as amended.

Please vote.

Okay.

The motion carries.

Staff please present on item 25 and 26.

Absolutely.

Agenda items 25 and 26 are a plan amendment and change of uh zoning, amending the San Antonio International Airport Vicinity Land Use Plan from medium density residential to regional commercial and rezoning the property from R6 to C3.

The property is located at 13639 Bulverdi Road for the plan amendment.

Staff and planning commission recommend denial with an alternate recommendation, and the applicant is amending their plan amendment request to community commercial for the rezoning.

Staff recommends denial with an alternate recommendation, and the zoning commission recommends approval.

The applicant is amending their proposed change of zoning to C2 C D with a conditional use for office warehouse slash flex space.

The proposed site plan is presented on the screen.

Staff mailed 16 notices.

We had two returned in favor and zero opposed.

Thank you.

And uh once again, item 25 and 26 once again fall into district number 10.

Mr.

Mr.

Mark White, you're you're the council person for that one.

We're gonna find out if this is deja vu all over again.

Once again, uh the uh for this particular zoning case, the professionals that we hire, the zoning staff, the planning staff, they think it's a bad idea changing this uh this case, this uh zoning designation from residential to commercial.

They and their words uh quote it abuts a large residentially zoned parcel.

It and here's here's the kicker.

It would allow for intensive commercial encroachment.

How many times have we in Santenne seen commercial encroachment?

No, um Mr.

White.

Um, when you have three groups, the planning staff, the planning commission, and the zoning staff say do not do this.

Why are we going ahead with this?

No, uh Mr.

White, I think uh I think you really should say no to this because these are people who do have to live right next to that, right next to the uh commercial encroachment.

Do you really want them to become so frustrated that they feel like moving out and maybe moving out out of out of district 10?

Even maybe even out of the city.

Thank you.

Items 25 and 26 are in district 10.

Councilmember White is recognized to speak.

Thank you, Mayor.

I want to thank city staff for their work on this one as well, including providing the uh uh alternate recommendation.

Thank you to the developer as well for uh for working with us on this, and with that I motion uh for approval as amended.

Second.

Is there any other council discussion on items 25 and 26?

All right.

There's a motion and a second to approve as amended on items 25 and 26.

Please vote.

The motion carries.

That concludes today's zoning and land use session.

The time is now 301 and the meeting is adjourned.
