19
00:05:04.479 --> 00:05:20.639
Worth. The request was from E neighborhood commercial with a conditional use permit for a stoneyard building stone cutting or sawing or storage with a development waiver for five parking spaces site plan approved.

20
00:05:20.639 --> 00:05:38.080
two e neighborhood commercial and add a conditional use permit for a stone yard building stone cutting sawing or storage with a development waiver for 29 parking spaces site plan included um to introduce this case and to just to reiterate the reason that it's on the

21
00:05:38.080 --> 00:05:54.240
agenda. If you will notice the similarity between what the current zoning is and what the request is to the the current approval that was approved by uh city council early this year only included five parking spaces that was

22
00:05:54.240 --> 00:06:10.479
just a difference in semantics. Uh the applicant had provided 29 parking spaces on the site plan that was approved by council um early this year. So staff brought this case uh before the commission to

23
00:06:10.479 --> 00:06:26.880
clearly articulate that the applicant was providing 29 parking spaces um as uh shown on their site plan. So the applicant submitted a revised site plan to staff late last night that provided

24
00:06:26.880 --> 00:06:43.440
the normal amount of parking that would be required which is uh 34 spaces. Again, there was no change to the zoning and land use um request. The applicant did not change or modify the request in any way. This was staff that had brought

25
00:06:43.440 --> 00:07:00.000
the request to in an attempt just to clean up the language on what the number of parking spaces that was going to be required. Um with the submitt of the site plan that shows that the development meets the parking requirements of the

26
00:07:00.000 --> 00:07:17.919
city. Uh Mr. Mr. Chairman, we would ask that uh the commission accept the withdrawal of this case. >> Okay. Knowing that now there is no waiver for the five parking spaces uh and that they are going to meet the requirements with all 34 um does anybody

27
00:07:17.919 --> 00:07:40.160
have any opposition to us go ahead and accepting the removal? Okay. In that case, we accept the removal of this case. Next case is SP-26-00008. The address is 4213 Miller Avenue. The

28
00:07:40.160 --> 00:07:55.759
applicant is Zone Group, Inc. and Jake Petri. The request is to amend the approved site plan for PD 311 plan development for e neighborhood commercial uses plus car wash and auto repair to add a new auto repair facility

29
00:07:55.759 --> 00:08:12.800
in the stop six residential overlay. >> Is the applicant present? And as we read these cases, if you hear your case being called, if you are the applicant, if you would just come on up and that'll save us a little bit of time. We appreciate it. Welcome, sir. >> Good afternoon. Thank you, chair,

30
00:08:12.800 --> 00:08:28.400
commissioners. My name is Jake Petri. I'm with 1836 Commercial. I'm the developer of this project at 4213 Miller Avenue. Uh we are before you this afternoon for case SP 26008, a site plan amendment to PD311.

31
00:08:28.400 --> 00:08:44.320
Um a brief history about this site. Let's just go to my side. Uh the brief history of the site. This was a uh this went to a plan development uh that was approved in 2019 under ZC 18116

32
00:08:44.320 --> 00:08:59.440
for automotive repair along with detail and car wash use. Building permit was issued in 2021 but was uh construction was halted due to CO 19 reasons and then the owner reactivated the project earlier this year which uh he contacted

33
00:08:59.440 --> 00:09:15.440
me to uh to get this cleaned up and back into the permitted stage. I was not the consultant. Um beforehand as we were working through the the permitting process, it was evident that there were a bunch of errors in the plans that were previously approved. Um

34
00:09:15.440 --> 00:09:38.560
and a lot of it was site plan um issues. So in order to clean up the uh the site plan, a site plan amendment process was u was is the path that we have to go down and that's why we're here today. Um, so, uh, with some of the issues that

35
00:09:38.560 --> 00:09:55.680
were on the the approved site plan back in 2019, um, there was two driveways. Um, now the standard uh by staff was to put one driveway in was to put a 10-ft sidewalk instead of a five- foot, extend a residential buffer, screen dumpster,

36
00:09:55.680 --> 00:10:11.519
and the the parking and landscape um requirements were uh more intense. And due to that we had to lo squeeze down the square footage of the building in order to meet those um criteria where the original building was seven bays

37
00:10:11.519 --> 00:10:27.920
with one bay on the east side which is facing a residential district and then six bays on the front. So we removed the the overhead bay door on the east side so it wouldn't face the uh residential district and then we had to squeeze down we had to lose one of the bay doors on

38
00:10:27.920 --> 00:10:43.760
the front on square footage. So now we're at a total of five bay doors for this project. And this is the new um site plan that you guys have in your packets as well. We reached out to the three neighborhood associations. Eastland gave conditional

39
00:10:43.760 --> 00:11:00.320
support as long as we struck out the automotive detailing component from the business which we did that in the journal notes on the site plan that was site that was number 23. Uh which limits the use of automotive repair use only. any future car washer detail use requires a separate approval. That was

40
00:11:00.320 --> 00:11:15.839
given uh we're we worked with staff on to figure out the best way to uh put that in the site plan without having to change or go through a zoning change process, but we're restricting the use on on the site plan. Uh Village Creek, uh we met with them, discussed with

41
00:11:15.839 --> 00:11:31.360
them. We had a we had a great conference call. They just wanted to understand what was going on. There was no, to my knowledge, at the end of the call, there were still no no issues that they wanted me to work with them on. Fair Haven, uh, they opposed the use, but since this is

42
00:11:31.360 --> 00:11:46.640
a site plan application, I I told them I was like, "Hey, we'll do everything we can to be a good neighbor for you, but the use has already been approved and this is just a site plan application or amendment process." Um, so today we're asking for respectfully asking for your approval of the site plan, and I'm here

43
00:11:46.640 --> 00:12:02.560
to answer any questions you may have. >> All right. Thank you. There is no opposition scheduled for this case to speak. Uh so commissioners, if you have questions, I just have a comment. Thank you for working within uh the constraints of what we put on you and not asking for

44
00:12:02.560 --> 00:12:18.639
waiverss. So appreciate you. >> Yeah, no problem. Thank you. >> The project. >> Um well, no questions. We will close the public hearing. And >> Commissioner Castro, this one is yours. Yeah, I think they did their due diligence and he answered the question

45
00:12:18.639 --> 00:12:34.639
that I was going to have if he did make engage with the neighborhood associations. It looks like uh you're very amendable and uh we appreciate that. I think that this would be a good uh pick for this part of our community. Uh with that, is there any other

46
00:12:34.639 --> 00:12:51.839
commentary or questions from anyone else? Okay. So, I would like to make the motion to go ahead uh approval of SP-26-00008. >> Second. >> All right. Uh we have a motion to

47
00:12:51.839 --> 00:13:09.760
approve by Commissioner Castro and a second by Commissioner Trillo. >> Commissioners, how do you vote? >> Chairperson Reigns. >> I. >> Commissioner Trujillo. >> I. >> Commissioner Welch. >> Hi. Commissioner Edmonds. >> Hi. >> Commissioner Robinson.

48
00:13:09.760 --> 00:13:29.200
>> I. >> Commissioner Pierce. >> I. >> Commissioner Rogers. >> Hi. >> Commissioner Worman. >> Hi. >> And Commissioner Castro. >> I. >> With a vote of nine to zero. Motion passes. Next case, ZC-26-022. The address is 7640 Jax Highway. The

49
00:13:29.200 --> 00:13:46.160
applicant is the Hideand Living Trust to Texas LLC. The request is from A5 one family residential and E neighborhood commercial to E neighborhood commercial and add a conditional use permit for retail landscape supply with outdoor sales and a recycling center transfer

50
00:13:46.160 --> 00:14:03.199
station for organic material with outdoor processing and stockpiling with development waiverss for outdoor storage between the building and the street. Existing 6 foot tall chain link fencing in the front yard. No screening fence adjacent to a residential district and

51
00:14:03.199 --> 00:14:18.160
less than 75% of the required landscaping within the front yard as depicted on the site plan. Site plan included. >> Welcome to the zoning commission. >> Thank you. My name is Tim Sansone. I'm with the organic recycler.

52
00:14:18.160 --> 00:14:33.760
Um I'm going to go through our presentation here. U so our facility, the site is located at 7640 Jack Highway. There's approximately 50 to 60,000 vehicles per day that cross in front of on that highway. Uh we believe

53
00:14:33.760 --> 00:14:49.199
that this is an ideal location for this business for several reasons. Uh the the community uh enjoys enhancing their their homes and landscaping and the majority primary focus for our business is retailing

54
00:14:49.199 --> 00:15:06.480
landscape materials, aggregates, mulches, soils, compost, different products like that at this site. Um, I'm sorry, real quick. It's nestled between a metal recycler, an adult toy shop, and then Lakew Worth in the north, and then the highway on the south. Um,

55
00:15:06.480 --> 00:15:21.839
although the the waiverss may mention residential next door, we're over 700 feet away from the nearest home. Uh, we're over 1,000 ft from the nearest trail and majority of the site is surrounded by woods and, uh, and

56
00:15:21.839 --> 00:15:37.120
highway. The site is laid out to focus on visibility of our products that we're trying to retail. Just like if you go to Home Depot and Lowe's, you'll see that they have mulches and products outdoors so that people can see that. The same goal applies here. We're trying to

57
00:15:37.120 --> 00:15:53.199
provide landscaping enhancement in the front uh products that people can see. And then in the rear of the site is where we would have any brush material that we would recycle. So the goal is that a landscaper may come to your house. They may do some tree trimming. uh they may have some limbs that they

58
00:15:53.199 --> 00:16:09.360
want to drop off and then pick up some product that they would then install in your in your property. These are the type products that we would have in the front. Uh our goal is to have a very clean site. It's concrete. Um it's organized. We don't

59
00:16:09.360 --> 00:16:25.600
have products being washed away. It's all in bins. It's organized. Um we have six six sites within the Dallas Fort Worth area. This would be our seventh site. Uh we have another site in Fort Worth in Alliance. Uh we believe that as the community continues to grow, there

60
00:16:25.600 --> 00:16:40.480
is a strong demand for enhancing the properties and um doing it the right way. It's very important to us. Uh this is the Alliance property uh up there at 13001 Old Denton Road. You can kind of see what we we have on site with the

61
00:16:40.480 --> 00:16:56.560
bins nicely organized and palletized product. So the same goal would apply here. some of the key things that that we've done uh in the process to be here today. Uh last year we met with council member Hill and discussed the property and the

62
00:16:56.560 --> 00:17:12.559
goals and she gave us recommendations to the community on who we should reach out to. We met with the scenic scenic shores neighborhood association and uh Deianne the president uh Tom and a few other members of the community uh got together. We walked the site. we went

63
00:17:12.559 --> 00:17:27.919
through the plan and uh they were very much supportive. They wrote letters of recommendation to the council. Uh so we we felt like we did our due diligence to meet with the community and try and uh try and appease everybody with the layout. We did make several

64
00:17:27.919 --> 00:17:43.919
modifications to um limit impact and improve the site. I'm going to go back here to the to the view here while I talk about that. Uh you can notice that the wood grinding area is behind a concrete wall. Our plan is to have that you're not you won't see it from the

65
00:17:43.919 --> 00:18:00.799
street. Um and then protection between us and the forward nature center. Uh we have a landscape buffer where we have we're planting trees. So not only is it a thousand feet from the nearest trail, but we're also planting additional trees. We have 50 feet set back from the

66
00:18:00.799 --> 00:18:15.440
nearest limb that we would store on site. And then you have those trees that would add additional sound barriers. um you know from we received some opposition comments that I'm sure you're aware of u that regarding noise

67
00:18:15.440 --> 00:18:30.720
this is not a concern that I think is um a showstopper for us we had the same concern that when we did alliance and I met with Rusty Phil Rusty Fuller with the North Fort Worth Alliance community he came out to the site he saw our

68
00:18:30.720 --> 00:18:48.880
grinders and at first he was opposed to our site and then after seeing the site he He said it was fine. We've been in operation there for over a year and I don't think we've had a single complaint. So noise may be a concern at first when you think about it, but after seeing the operation, um I I hope that

69
00:18:48.880 --> 00:19:05.679
those people would realize that it's not as big of a concern. Uh and we met with u Megan with the Fort Worth Nature Center, friends with the Fort Nature. She came out to our site. She looked at the piles of trees that we have at site in Alliance. um we talked about mitigation strategies and we're on board

70
00:19:05.679 --> 00:19:21.440
to improve the site if there's additional changes that she would like to impose, but we have not heard of anything today uh about that. Um few other things about our goals um

71
00:19:21.440 --> 00:19:38.400
sorry our our goal is to >> So just final thoughts. Sorry, you'll have more time in a minute. >> Thank you. Well, I'll respect the the committee. Thank you for your time. >> Thank you very much. All right. Any questions so far before we hear from the opposition? We do have one person signed up and so if the

72
00:19:38.400 --> 00:20:01.760
opposition will come up. Uh Judy, I think you're it. Yes. Welcome. >> Um I'm Judy Harmon. I 22 I don't have to give my address to you. >> You can. Yeah. >> Okay. Um uh I am representing Scenic

73
00:20:01.760 --> 00:20:16.400
Fort Worth, which is an organization that's worked in this community for 30 years, uh to enhance how this city is developed and the quality of life and um economic development elements and uh

74
00:20:16.400 --> 00:20:32.240
ordinances that have been put in place. Um we are particularly concerned with the safety and with the um being a good neighbor to this community and to the surrounding area. I'm part the noise

75
00:20:32.240 --> 00:20:48.960
which has been mentioned. I don't know whether scientifically that can be defended. I don't know that. But what I have read is that this level of noise is damaging to people who come on the site who are on the site. And when you're very close to some very

76
00:20:48.960 --> 00:21:04.880
fragile uh environment and animals in the nature center, uh how is this going to impact both the people who are there for the serenity and enjoying the space and to the animals that are that are

77
00:21:04.880 --> 00:21:20.960
living there. It's also adjacent to two other public parks, a love circle park and um uh is a uh the beach area right across the highway. Another element is the fact

78
00:21:20.960 --> 00:21:36.640
that this location is on a scenic corridor. These are areas that are designated by the city of Fort Worth to be particularly aware of how they are developed and what kind of physical structures are put upon these roads.

79
00:21:36.640 --> 00:21:54.320
The Atlant we've read so far, which may be changed, which would be wonderful, is that there seems to be very little um care about being a good neighbor and presenting a physically um an asset to this community. It is via

80
00:21:54.320 --> 00:22:09.120
it is asking for exceptions for some very important um standards for the city. front yard parking, a chain lean fence, uh not like parking, but there are storage and these are things that do

81
00:22:09.120 --> 00:22:26.320
not enhance the community or the road or do they enhance the value of the property for other property owners along the area in the city. So, um, unless there are some major changes and one is scientific solid information that the noise is not

82
00:22:26.320 --> 00:22:42.240
going to be damaging to people, how it would impact the animals in the nature center and a more sensitive, thoughtful effort to be a real asset to the community. >> Thank you, Judy. And Tim, you have two

83
00:22:42.240 --> 00:22:58.720
minutes to uh finish your comments and if you want to address any of those comments, you're welcome to. >> Thank you, Judy. Thank you very much for coming and sharing your thoughts. Uh I don't have scientific proof today. Uh however, I do have 13 years of

84
00:22:58.720 --> 00:23:15.120
experience operating around grinders. My hearing is just fine. So, I don't think that the grinding machine is damaging or impact. We operate grinders all across Texas, Oklahoma, and uh noise may be a

85
00:23:15.120 --> 00:23:29.120
concern at first, but then after people see it, it's not. In addition, we do not plan to grind here every day. This would be a one to two days a month type of operation. Um it's a very small site for us. We're trying to add this as a

86
00:23:29.120 --> 00:23:45.120
service to our customers and not not be the focus of our business. Um any questions for council? Uh, commissioners, uh, questions. >> Yeah. So, with regards to the noise, I'm

87
00:23:45.120 --> 00:24:00.320
sure your operators probably wearing, you know, ear protection. What about the customers that are going to be driving to the back while it's open to the public access back there? I um commissioner I I I have operated

88
00:24:00.320 --> 00:24:17.039
around grinders and whether technically we should or scientifically majority of our team does not wear actually I don't think anybody wears ear protections at our site. It's just not the the grinder is not a loud uh machine where you're worried about standing next

89
00:24:17.039 --> 00:24:32.320
to and it's loud. You can have a conversation right in front of it. It's not um >> is the grinder like you know when a tree trimmer comes to your home and they throw the tree branches in the thing and it chips them up. Is it the same thing? >> Uh it's similar idea. It's just a it's

90
00:24:32.320 --> 00:24:48.320
it's a little bit bigger than that but yeah similar. >> Yeah. Um, regarding the noise, so we noticed that the large um, you know, trucks that are going to, you know, pull, I guess, debris and, uh, or, you know, material, organic material out of trucks and into your your piles and vice

91
00:24:48.320 --> 00:25:04.720
versa. U,, can you talk about the noise those make? >> Sure. >> Decent trucks. >> Yeah, absolutely. I mean, they're uh the typical customer would be a pickup truck and a trailer dropping off limbs and then after it's ground, we will have a semi truck with a a wheel loader that

92
00:25:04.720 --> 00:25:19.840
would load it and then we'll haul it out. Um I I don't I don't know that that truck makes any more noise than a pickup truck, but you know, it's um you know, it is a highway that we're we're right adjacent to 50 some odd thousand

93
00:25:19.840 --> 00:25:36.640
vehicles a day. It's not the the additional traffic we have is very minimal. >> Yeah. I because I'm talking about the the the motor from the big diesel tractor, you know, more than anything. The front loader that's going to have the backup beep and all that going on in addition to it starting up and, you

94
00:25:36.640 --> 00:25:53.039
know, it's it's loud. And I understand the comment about the the freeway noise. Uh, I think that's uh more ambient, you know, than than the sound of a a wood chipper or, you know, a diesel tractor. Absolutely. You're right. There is there

95
00:25:53.039 --> 00:26:10.960
is a difference. Um, again, it's short term. I I would be open to the idea if the council wanted to limit us to a certain number of days a month that we could have a grinder there. I I'm also open to hey, you permit us to operate for three years and if we don't um

96
00:26:10.960 --> 00:26:27.200
address any noise concerns, you know, we want to be a good partner. The only reason we can be here today is because I believe we've proven that at Alliance and our other facilities. Um it's very important to us that we do the right thing. >> Right. Um, some of the the correspondence that we received, I'm

97
00:26:27.200 --> 00:26:44.159
sure you saw it, was about the uh possible infestation from stuff brought on to your site, you know, getting onto the nature center site somehow, whether that's through the air when it's being ground or if it's runoff after it floods or rains. Um, can you talk about that?

98
00:26:44.159 --> 00:26:58.880
What mitigation do you guys plan to do for that type of thing? >> I I am not allowed to have anything leave the site. Texas Commission of Environmental Quality. We've applied for a permit on this site. It takes six months to a year to get that permit. We

99
00:26:58.880 --> 00:27:16.559
are days away from receiving it. Um and we are not allowed to have anything leave the site. >> There's no runoff that leaves your site. >> Uh any water that leaves the site has to be clean. We can't have there's a limit of total suspended solids. There's a limit of biological oxygen demand that has to be tested. Um all of that is

100
00:27:16.559 --> 00:27:32.000
regulated that you know. >> Right. Got it. Yeah. and and we really have very that's stuff that that I want to talk about because I know the public is concerned about it and that's part of our job is to make sure we're asking these questions. Um and uh but we really

101
00:27:32.000 --> 00:27:50.559
don't have a whole lot of there are other regulatory agencies that handle that not us. Um but from a land use compatibility standpoint is this other this for this one? Okay. Um, but we have to look at land use and the

102
00:27:50.559 --> 00:28:05.039
comp plan. We just had a whole presentation about the the comp plan. Um, and you know, while you can look at the map and you can make a good argument that this fits right in with existing businesses, if not an improvement, um, but uh, but that's not where we want to

103
00:28:05.039 --> 00:28:23.760
go as a city. Um, and the land use um, while I'll take you at your word that y'all are going to be good neighbors and you're going to take care of it. um you know, maybe you don't work there forever, you know, or maybe a company changes hands. Um and that's just such

104
00:28:23.760 --> 00:28:41.520
an environmentally sensitive area. That's what gives me pause and makes me worry about the land use compatibility. So, I tend to kind of agree with staff. Um it looks like you have a great company and y'all are doing great work. I just don't love the site. Um be for those reasons. Um, but uh I don't have

105
00:28:41.520 --> 00:28:56.799
any other questions right now, but there is somebody here from they're from the parks department or for nature center is here. Do y'all have any questions that you want to bring this person up? They're just here if you have questions. Would y'all like to hear from this individual? Yes. Okay. >> Yes.

106
00:28:56.799 --> 00:29:11.840
>> So, if I could Thank you very much. >> From the from the >> Yeah. So Jared, if you would come up, maybe just tell us a little bit about this project from your perspective, and then we'll open it up for questions if that's all right with you. >> Yeah. So, thank you, chairman. Thank

107
00:29:11.840 --> 00:29:26.640
you, commissioners, and thank you to Mr. Sansom, who has been communicating with our our friends board, uh, which I I really appreciate. noise, um, sawdust, things like that have been mentioned and we're just starting to talk about the

108
00:29:26.640 --> 00:29:42.640
pest or the disease introduction in issue. And if you don't know, the nature center has been infected in the past by a neighboring property that had wood storage uh which introduced the emerald ashbor bore beetle that wiped out the

109
00:29:42.640 --> 00:29:59.279
majority of our ash trees that we're still dealing with today both from an operational standpoint and from a a natural resource management standpoint. So when you look at pest spread, which is often done like oakwill, Dutch elm disease through beetles that can move a

110
00:29:59.279 --> 00:30:16.240
quarter mile, that's exacerbated by wind, which pushes them even farther. Uh not to mention invasive seeds. And just in the past two years, we spent close to $240,000 on invasive pest removal, invasive brush removal. Uh and that's just on the

111
00:30:16.240 --> 00:30:31.440
private side. On the city side, we've spent at least that in forestry equipment. So, it's outside of the public trail maintenance, invasive species management, mitigation is a major component of our operation to protect um the largest city-owned nature

112
00:30:31.440 --> 00:30:46.320
center in the entire state of Texas and one in the country. Uh so, it's it's pest management, disease management that we are most concerned about looking at Texas Forest Service recommendations. You don't transport material beyond county lines to try to mitigate those

113
00:30:46.320 --> 00:31:03.279
risk. uh and and that's what we're most interested in just from a scientific natural resource management perspective. I'll I'll take any questions you have about other other potential considerations that we have. >> Mr. Wood, what about the noise?

114
00:31:03.279 --> 00:31:21.200
>> Noise. I I mean, I've looked at the the statistics and I I've talked to Mr. Sansom. I I I haven't seen the machine in person. Uh he's about 200 yards this facility from our our major trail head for Canyon Ridge Trail which is a hot spot for us. uh and you know noise is

115
00:31:21.200 --> 00:31:38.320
consideration that plus the highway probably be around a h 100 dB uh which carried across 200 yards or so maybe 50 dB and you know I'm not here to speculate it's just it is a consideration and you know the impact to to wildlife

116
00:31:38.320 --> 00:31:56.720
adjacently on the perimeter we just don't have that scientific data we'd have to to do further studies and analysis on those noise issues Thank you. Any other questions? I appreciate your insight. Um, any other questions for the applicant after

117
00:31:56.720 --> 00:32:13.360
hearing that? >> Okay. At this time, we'll close the public hearing and open up for discussion. Um, as you could probably tell by my questioning and what I was saying, I I I would have a really hard time supporting this. Um, I hope that doesn't discourage

118
00:32:13.360 --> 00:32:29.440
the business owner. Um, I want you in Fort Worth. I want your business to do well. We want your business to do well. I just don't think it's worth the risk on this particular site. Um, I'm just trying to look at this big picture long-term. Um, it's just such a special

119
00:32:29.440 --> 00:32:44.559
place in our city and it's, as you can tell by what's around, it's already kind of been abused and I don't think we'd be doing our current and future residents a good service by saying, "Well, stuff's already here that's worse, so let's just continue." Um, so, uh, I I can't support

120
00:32:44.559 --> 00:33:00.640
it, unfortunately. But again, I hope that you'll stay with us in Fort Worth and I hope you'll work with our staff to find a location that that we can fit you in if if things don't go your way. And, uh, we're not the final say, uh, city council, you know, we'll still get to make the sign the final call on this.

121
00:33:00.640 --> 00:33:17.320
So, those of you for or against this, I hope you'll uh, attend the next hearing as well and make sure your voice is heard. >> Uh, Mr. Chairman, there's no discussion. I'd like to make a motion. >> Time out. >> Sorry. Sorry. >> Well, we got one more comment.

122
00:33:18.480 --> 00:33:34.720
>> I tend to feel like this could be supported if we treated it the same way we treat lay down yards during construction because if there is going to be development out there and we continue to do it, yes, we need it. He said he was open to a cup.

123
00:33:34.720 --> 00:33:51.120
I feel like something shortterm is doable. I don't know if we're going to get support for it here, but it does, you know, if we treat it that same way, it feels very palatable. It has even more restrictions, I think, than the layown yards.

124
00:33:51.120 --> 00:34:08.159
And I understand its adjacency to some things, but it's just, you know, thought that I'm having about this. >> I hear you. >> It's a good point. >> Yeah. And even if you did a cup and you got rid of maybe just the mulching part of it, which is a big environmental risk, you could still sell everything

125
00:34:08.159 --> 00:34:24.480
else. >> Well, I don't know that you have to remove the mulching part. You know, he even offered to restrict it. you know, I'll do it on, you know, Wednesday when the storm siren goes off, the first Wednesday of every month or something like that where it's not going to happen on a Saturday or

126
00:34:24.480 --> 00:34:40.159
>> I'm talking more from the, you know, restriction, you know, the recommendations from the state forest service and everybody as far as material coming in from, you know, outside the county, right, regulate that. So, that is a risk to continue to happen. And you know, yeah, >> and it's still outdoor storage, so I

127
00:34:40.159 --> 00:34:56.480
would still have that concern even if they're not doing the shipping and stuff on site just by moving that stuff and the wind blows, >> you know, there's there's that potential as well. >> I mean, but that's like you said, that's beyond our absolutely 100%. I just >> But it is what they're using it for. And so land use I still think comes into

128
00:34:56.480 --> 00:35:12.640
play there on some level, the type of work that's happening there. >> Because there's I mean there's not going to be any positive redevelopment there in the next three years. >> Agree. >> Yeah. and and I I understand that side. I wouldn't disagree with with what your line of thinking. I just I personally

129
00:35:12.640 --> 00:35:28.960
think it'd be worth waiting and not saying, "Well, let's just put something there and it and work and it I don't think the riskreward is there." Not for me personally. This if something happened during that time, we can't go back on it. That's just one way to look at it. I'm

130
00:35:28.960 --> 00:35:45.280
not saying I'm right. >> Yeah. No, no. My concern is the infestation of anything coming into the nature center and the city paying for that. They had just p put paid for something recently and we're going to do it. We could infect it again and then the city has to

131
00:35:45.280 --> 00:36:03.760
pay their portion. So we have to be fiscal responsible if that happens. >> All right. Thank you all very much. Uh this is in my district but I can't make the motion. So >> uh Mr. Chairman, I I think um fellow commissioners have made a number of good

132
00:36:03.760 --> 00:36:19.280
points. Um but but my motion is going to be based on the testimony from the nature center and their previous experience with similar situations where um the city has been paying considerable

133
00:36:19.280 --> 00:36:37.040
amount of expense to the nature center to remedy um things that they think might emanate from this site. So, it's not anything about the company. It's it's something about the effect on the on the surrounding property and and

134
00:36:37.040 --> 00:36:53.359
their experience, their previous experience, which is real. And based on that, um, I make a motion that we deny ZC2622. >> Second. >> We have a motion to deny by Commissioner Edmonds and a second by Commissioner

135
00:36:53.359 --> 00:37:08.800
Robinson. >> Commissioners, how do you vote? Commissioner Reigns. >> Hi. >> Commissioner Trujillo. >> Hi. >> Commissioner Welch. >> Hi. >> Commissioner Edmonds. >> Hi. >> Commissioner Robinson. >> Hi. >> Commissioner Pierce. >> I. >> Commissioner Rogers.

136
00:37:08.800 --> 00:37:28.720
>> Hi. >> Commissioner Worman. >> I. >> Commissioner Castro. >> I. >> With a vote of 7 to2. Motion passes. Next case ZC-26-055. The address is 8715 and 8801

00:37:28.720 --> 00:37:46.079
Waggley Robertson Road. The applicant is Mike Windham and Donnie Kirk represented by Maryell Pool of Townsite. The request is from AG Agricultural to from AG agricultural and A21 one family

138
00:37:46.079 --> 00:38:03.119
residential to A5 one family residential. >> Good afternoon commissioners. Marionel Pool Town site 2918 Windgate here in Fort Worth. This site plan may look familiar to you since I was here last fall for the larger portion of this case. My client is proposing to build a

139
00:38:03.119 --> 00:38:20.240
single family development on land that was previously agricultural and we successfully reszoned to A5. This case involves two properties that lie within the development area and were offered for sale after the zoning case. The original development was going to be 166

140
00:38:20.240 --> 00:38:37.920
homes on typical lot sizes of 50 by 110 with several u much larger lots. The addition of these two parcels will allow for a maximum of 204 lots though uh once civil engineering is complete will probably be under 200. The homes will be

141
00:38:37.920 --> 00:38:54.640
one and twotory designs and will be priced competitively with comparable uh surrounding housing stock. The amenity area in the middle of the site provides both detention and a pond with walking trails with other amenities to be added as the area is designed. As you can see

142
00:38:54.640 --> 00:39:11.920
at the top of the site plan um is the future heritage trace parkway which is currently under under design and may actually be uh complete by now. Our civil engineers have worked with the city's engineers to discuss grade and other design criteria.

143
00:39:11.920 --> 00:39:28.160
Uh I believe our entry points are even actually uh included on their drawings. The construction of this roadway is essential to this development as it provides the needed access to the rear of the site. By adding these two parcels, the new development will be

144
00:39:28.160 --> 00:39:43.200
more cohesive and have better mobility throughout the site. I did reach out to the neighborhood associations and answered their questions. They did not have any issues with adding these two lots. I would ask for your approval and I'm happy to answer any questions.

145
00:39:43.200 --> 00:39:58.240
>> Thank you very much. Uh there is no one signed up in opposition for this case. Um so are there any questions commissioners for the applicant? >> All right. Thank you, Maryell. >> If there's no further discussion, I'd like to make a motion.

146
00:39:58.240 --> 00:40:14.720
>> Go for it. >> In case 26055, I move for approval. >> Second. All right. There is a motion to approve by Commissioner Edmonds and a second by Commissioner Worman. >> Commissioners, how do you vote?

147
00:40:14.720 --> 00:40:29.599

CF Community Facilities. >> Hello, I'm Anthony with Colen Perkins representing Jubilee Hospital. Uh, the purpose of this zoning change is to >> You may want to lean into your mic just a little bit. Sorry, they're real sensitive.

150
00:41:09.040 --> 00:41:25.280
>> Purpose of this zoning change is to go from agg to community facilities. This is really just to match the surrounding properties uh on the on the hospital campus. And uh that's really it. If you have any

151
00:41:25.280 --> 00:41:43.359
questions, I'm happy to answer. And there is no one signed up in opposition for this case. You're good. >> All right. Thank you very much. We appreciate it. >> Thank you. >> All right. At this uh point, we will close the public hearing and leave it open for discussion or

152
00:41:43.359 --> 00:41:59.760
a vote. And Commissioner Pierce, this one is yours. >> Okay. Any comments from fellow commissioners? >> Okay. I'll make a motion. In case of ZC26061, I move for approval. >> Second. We have a motion to approve by

153
00:41:59.760 --> 00:42:15.440
Commissioner Pierce and a second by Commissioner Rogers. >> Commissioners, how do you vote? Commissioner Reigns, >> I. >> Commissioner Trillo, >> I. >> Commissioner Welch, >> I. >> Commissioner Edmonds, >> I. >> Commissioner Robinson, >> I. >> Commissioner Pierce, >> I. >> Commissioner Rogers, >> I.

157
00:43:03.680 --> 00:43:20.640
light industrial. >> Welcome Mr. Ojeski. That's a lot of applicants. >> That is a lot of applicants. Dave, congratulations for successfully getting through that. Mr. Chairman, members of the commission, Ray Oeski representing uh handover company, the proposed developer here. Uh this slide is a

158
00:43:20.640 --> 00:43:39.920
perfect example of what uh challenges this site and that is the 100red-year flood zone uh FEMA flood zone that really forces development of this property to the the rear of the property and in fact the uh proposed development

159
00:43:39.920 --> 00:43:54.960
uh this is a little bit busy but if you look at the bottom uh the three warehouse type facilities are all set forth uh to the bottom, you know, to honor this 100redyear flood zone uh away

160
00:43:54.960 --> 00:44:10.000
from the neighborhoods that are on the north side of Cantrol Samson Road. There is additional development there to the south uh of existing industrial already. So, uh for a change, I actually get to bring you a case that's consistent with the future land use plan. So, happy

161
00:44:10.000 --> 00:44:25.520
about that today. Uh I don't have anything else. I certainly answer any questions you have today. All right. Any questions, commissioners? There is no one here signed up to speak in opposition, so we'll leave this up to you.

162
00:44:25.520 --> 00:44:41.760
>> All right. Thank you, Ray. Um, seeing none, then uh we will close the public hearing and Commissioner Trillo, this one is yours, sir. >> For ZZ26-062, I move for approval. >> Second. We have a motion to approve by Commissioner Trillo and a second by

>> I. >> With a vote of nine to zero. Motion passes. Next case, ZC-26-063. The address is 9700 Oxenfree Drive. The applicant is SB Capstone Group LLC Guggenheim Development Services, Kurt Overmmy, JM Civil Engineering, Andre

165
00:45:15.760 --> 00:45:33.520
Sutiano. The request is to add a conditional use permit in E neighborhood commercial for automotive repair and oil change facility with a development waiver for bay doors facing a one family residential district site plan included.

166
00:45:33.520 --> 00:45:49.839
>> Welcome to the zoning commission. Good afternoon, chairman and ch uh commission members. Sorry. Hi. Uh I'm Kurt Overmire with Guggenheim Development Services. We're the applicant. Um we are proposing an oil change facility at this location and requesting approval of a CUP with

167
00:45:49.839 --> 00:46:05.040
the development waiver as previously mentioned and I'd be happy to answer any questions you may have. >> Any questions commissioners? There is no one signed up to speak in opposition for this case. So, is Oxen Free two lanes or is it four lanes?

168
00:46:05.040 --> 00:46:21.440
>> Believe it's two. Is that right, Steph? It's two. >> It's two. >> And it looks like they're uh the they're going to do the same screening, that organic screening with the the shrubs that match the discount tire. Um and that'll be the entrance. And then the

169
00:46:21.440 --> 00:46:36.480
that A5 that's adjacent, as you can see, there's the two-lane road that you just mentioned, Commissioner, and then there's a little bit of a what is that? some sort of an easement there that backs up behind and then that'll be the backyard correct of that is residences

170
00:46:36.480 --> 00:46:52.079
yet to be built. >> What are the typical hours for this facility? >> Typical hours are Monday through Saturday dawn to dusk like 8:00 a.m. to 6 p.m. It's determined by location and then limited hours on Sunday if they're

171
00:46:52.079 --> 00:47:08.160
even open on Sunday. Yeah, I was thinking about this one in that discount tire as far as if noise is a concern that's going to they're going to be a lot louder than an oil change place. I know there were some comments um that I want to address that were sent

172
00:47:08.160 --> 00:47:25.760
to us about the number of oil change places. Um unfortunately, we don't have uh anything in our capacity and zoning that really limits once it's a an automotive use, something like that. We can't say yes to this business and no to this other business. So, Um, while I

173
00:47:25.760 --> 00:47:41.920
understand there's a lot of competition, that's up to the applicant to determine, do their market research, and they might think differently. So, it's a little bit I understand that comment, but uh there's a little bit on zoning that we can do about that. So, just wanted to address that. All right. Thank you very

174
00:47:41.920 --> 00:47:58.319

Bell Avenue. The applicant is Carebridge Health Services LLC Yuzoshi and Eleanor Herome. The request is from CF Community Facilities to E Neighborhood Commercial. Welcome to the zoning commission.

188
00:51:32.079 --> 00:51:46.000
>> Hello. I'm a little nervous, so >> Oh, that's all right. Take your time. >> Uh this is my better half, Dr. Nukem. Uh we purchased this prop. Can you hear me? >> Yeah. These mics are hard to pick up. Kind of got to talk right into them. You're good.

189
00:51:46.000 --> 00:52:03.599
>> Okay. We purchased this property um several months back and we are just trying to beautify it. It's currently it it was a Masonic lodge a meeting place and so we are just trying to change the

190
00:52:03.599 --> 00:52:18.720
classification to um an event well I guess formally an event space. So that's that's pretty much what we're we're trying to do. Uh we have ample parking. So it's pretty

191
00:52:18.720 --> 00:52:37.359
much going to follow in in the current um format that it currently is. So I I didn't think that it was um a far stretch from what it currently is.

192
00:52:37.359 --> 00:53:03.520
>> Right. Uh there is no one signed up to speak in opposition for this case. So I'll leave it open for questions. Did you have a Do you want to do your presentation? We have one. >> Yes. >> Okay. Go for it. Yeah. Let's go through it. >> They're getting our projector set up right now. So give us just a minute and

193
00:53:03.520 --> 00:53:26.160
we'll be able to flip through these with you. Oh, so yes, this is currently the facade. >> Um, do we do I click it? >> No, you just have to ask them to flip. Yeah, this is we got a manual thing going on.

194
00:53:26.160 --> 00:53:42.160
>> Okay. Okay. So, um, so yes, it's a beautifification project. It's been it's been vacant for several years and so we are happy to take on um it take take on the project

195
00:53:42.160 --> 00:54:05.280
to beautify the space um and also job creation. Uh it's it's it's in um one second That's really it. To be honest with you,

196
00:54:05.280 --> 00:54:21.599
I I didn't think there was much to it. Um if there was anything to say. >> You guys reached out to any of the community associations and >> Yes. Yes, I did. Um I emailed several of them. I haven't emailed the school that

197
00:54:21.599 --> 00:54:39.760
was close by. Um I just got a receipt email. I didn't get any opposition. So, >> you didn't actually have a conversation? >> I didn't. >> You didn't have any back and forth with anybody? >> No, ma'am. No ma'am. No back and forth.

198
00:54:39.760 --> 00:54:55.200
>> So, one of the concerns I had wasn't about your project necessarily itself. It's just the zoning. Okay. >> Um, so when you move to that classification of zoning, you know, if one day y'all decided to to move on and and get into another business venture

199
00:54:55.200 --> 00:55:12.000
or, you know, sell that business or, you know, a lot of things can happen, um, that zoning class classification opens it up to all types of businesses. So, >> okay, >> 7-Eleven could buy it and it could turn to a gas station and being right there in the neighborhood, um, you know, could

200
00:55:12.000 --> 00:55:27.520
pose some issues. um those types of businesses. Um there's a whole that just named one. There's all kinds of businesses that could open under that classification. Um and I I do have a concern though about traffic and just being that that is kind of in the

201
00:55:27.520 --> 00:55:44.319
middle. The only way to get in that to get to your business would be through those neighborhood streets. There's not like a major throwfair. Um so just the kind of traffic that that might bring into the neighborhood. Can you speak about that at all? >> Sure. So the current the current traffic

202
00:55:44.319 --> 00:56:00.160
would probably be what would it would normally be. It was a sign of it was a meeting. It was a gathering place, right? >> So it's the same occupancy, the same meeting. They were meeting in the evenings as well. So nothing really is changing per se um with how it's how

203
00:56:00.160 --> 00:56:17.040
it's run in the last I don't know 30 years. So it's this they met in the evenings as well. Um and we're going to have even more ample parking. Uh, our current site plan has more parking. Okay. And so we don't have any

204
00:56:17.040 --> 00:56:33.599
lighting outside, no music outside. We're going to have um uh armed security. So it's it's nothing. We don't have any uh facing windows where the neighbors are going to be uh disturbed

205
00:56:33.599 --> 00:56:48.480
per se. Mhm. >> So we have created or we're or trying to create measures in which there's no disruption. >> So um so disruptions that that is something that came to mind. Um >> and maybe we go to different weddings,

206
00:56:48.480 --> 00:57:05.040
but I know weddings can get kind of get kind of rowdy at times. So when people are leaving um and uh you know if it was a larger wedding say it was maxed out at 120 people um you know and people are heading out and hanging out in the parking lot before they take off um h

207
00:57:05.040 --> 00:57:21.760
what kind of measures do you have in place or would you put in place to make sure that the neighbors across the street on those two sides aren't disturbed? Uh I I think the the flow of how the guests are going to be parked that's it's going the the guests are

208
00:57:21.760 --> 00:57:38.480
only going to be able to um disembark from the back. So there'll be nothing going on in front. That's kind of how we have positioned it. Uh and like I said, we're going to have security. Uh that's going to be standard in every rental. Uh

209
00:57:38.480 --> 00:57:52.880
we're going to have like armed uh security. >> Okay. Yeah, thank you. >> Neither neither in defense nor opposition of this application. I will point out though that you don't really have to go through the neighborhood at all to get to this. You come right in

210
00:57:52.880 --> 00:58:08.880
off 199, turn north on Bell, you pass a very large um gas well to the left and you pass a huge industrial complex on the right, which is a um Zamare display. It's like a triple lot. Yes. It has five loading docks facing Bell and they are

211
00:58:08.880 --> 00:58:25.760
diagonally across the street from the industry. So I don't think ingress and egress through a neighborhood if it's like say if you have a offduty police officer required by your guests whoever's hosting the event to direct traffic one keep them out the parking lot and two direct them south take them

212
00:58:25.760 --> 00:58:41.680
straight to 199 that would not disturb the neighborhood and there's no housing across the street been torn down. >> Okay, good point. >> I have a comment real quick. Um so this is currently a Masonic Lodge, correct? >> Yes ma'am. So being on the square I

213
00:58:41.680 --> 00:58:57.440
understand the different meetings or grand sessions that they've already had in that community right so typically Masonic events red balls they have a lot of balls and events there the community should be used to the type of traffic because they have a lot of events at

214
00:58:57.440 --> 00:59:13.680
Masonic lodges a lot um they do a lot of charity events a lot of people rent out the facility so I just wanted to make that comment that's something that that community should be used to with the Masonic lodge being there. >> Yes. And that was one of our our my proposition also was for the community

215
00:59:13.680 --> 00:59:29.200
like it because right now how we intend to beautify it and also where we plan on hosting um uh like the prom from we're we're open to like community events and

216
00:59:29.200 --> 00:59:46.079
yeah just to make it really pretty. Yeah. >> Okay. >> Thank you. Yeah. >> Thank you. Any questions? So, is there other zoning that would fit this better than neighborhood commercial? Because I mean, as it is right now with that designation, it opens up to a can of worms. So, we can approve it and

217
00:59:46.079 --> 01:00:02.960
tomorrow they can open up, you know, liquor store, restaurant, bank, whatever they want and then it definitely doesn't fit. >> Need to look at the use table. I wouldn't want to speculate here on, you know, whether or not, you know, some some downs and there very likely could

218
01:00:02.960 --> 01:00:18.720
be just it would I would be giving you incomplete information if I gave you any. >> So for for for liquor store for for certain you you would not be able to to do any >> have a question for the applicant. Would you be open to just to help your application a little better? um be open

219
01:00:18.720 --> 01:00:34.000
to a continuence so that you could work number one with your neighborhood association immediately around you to get their buy in. I think that would help your application immensely and two to work with staff to see if there is a way to pick a better zoning or if there is a better zoning for what you want to

220
01:00:34.000 --> 01:00:50.559
do that's less open to things your neighborhood is not going to want in their neighborhood. Should you sell or you know in the future? >> Sure, I'm open to that. Um I guess my question would be um if we did a contin continuence is what you're saying um

221
01:00:50.559 --> 01:01:06.319
what are there like stipulations whereby we can get the approval but then maybe if we did was to sell it >> like you said a 7-Eleven can erupt >> 60 90 days to come back >> to do your homework you know and go out

222
01:01:06.319 --> 01:01:22.640
and talk to the neighborhood work with staff figure out maybe a better zoning um or even like a plan with you know, just to kind of come with a better for stronger application for what you're trying to do. You're asking us to approve something that's very broad. Okay. That includes things like liquor stores, gas stations, things that your

223
01:01:22.640 --> 01:01:38.559
neighborhood is not going to want to live next door to. So, it's very hard for us to give you a blank approval for that. >> And that's not what you're really intending to do. But should you sell, the next person who buys it down the line would have those by right, which is not which is concerning. >> So, I just want to make sure because I know that it's been said like at least

224
01:01:38.559 --> 01:01:54.400
twice. Liquor stores are not allowed in >> Yeah. not liquor store, but liquor sells. And >> remember E, we we just adopted a proliferation ordinance that took a lot of those unwanted, undesirable uh uses out of E and and placed them in

225
01:01:54.400 --> 01:02:10.720
F. So I just wanted to make sure that everyone just is aware of that and the applicant is aware of that. So a lot of the undesirable uses that uh that were in E and uh were in E were were removed out. So I just wanted to make >> Yeah. So, so to clarify that like but I

226
01:02:10.720 --> 01:02:27.280
think your point still holds um the the broader point that I think you're trying to make it still allows E and E you can still do alcohol sales for off- premise consumption as part of food service. Um so that's still allowed by right in E. >> My other thing with this with this

227
01:02:27.280 --> 01:02:42.319
application is is that I don't really know what else you could do with this building and I do think that this building holds some historical significance to it. um especially in 2030 years is going to be it's it's a beautiful building and I'd hate to lose it and I don't know what else you could really do with what is already there on

228
01:02:42.319 --> 01:02:59.680
that lot other than events, community service, that kind of thing. So, >> well, my issue is they've already been having events here. It's a Masonic Lodge. >> So, she's doing an event center. I don't see the point of a continuence when they've already been having events here for years. >> Yes, ma'am. >> She just more or less is renovating it.

229
01:02:59.680 --> 01:03:15.359
>> It's not the same event. gets >> under the >> it's because of the zoning change because it goes from CF where that's all you can do is kind of have the Masonic Lodge can have those type events to going to straight uh E neighborhood commercial which allows all types of uses. So in the event that they ever

230
01:03:15.359 --> 01:03:32.480
sold it, it's still zoned E and then it could a restaurant could open up there or a gas station could open up there um and that wouldn't be maybe necessarily so good for the neighborhood. So what they're planning on doing, you know, doesn't sound terrible for the neighborhood. But so I I see your point. It's just that we're worried about what

231
01:03:32.480 --> 01:03:47.520
could happen if we change that that base zoning. >> Well, I'm sure at the Masonic Lodge they had weddings. You understand what I'm saying? Masonic lodges, >> but the Masonic Lodge can't have like a gas station all of a sudden or a restaurant open up. And if we change the zoning to e like they're requesting,

232
01:03:47.520 --> 01:04:04.160
they could happen. Um, so we're hoping uh that if if you're open to it as maybe like a 30-day continuence where you come back next month and in that time um >> would also reach out to your councilman too because you know he can help Carlos >> perhaps figure out a way to kind of

233
01:04:04.160 --> 01:04:20.079
limit the uses um to still be able to do what you want to do but kind of make the community feel better and and maybe some of our concerns um about what could happen if y'all decide to sell or >> So are there situations whereby there could be it could still be granted, but

234
01:04:20.079 --> 01:04:36.079
there could be a stipulation saying, "Okay, if we if if this business wasn't to exist anymore," >> Yeah, that that's something you'd have to work with staff. There are ways to do that. You can work with staff. Yes. >> If there's a way that could if that if that's the concern whereby if we were to

235
01:04:36.079 --> 01:04:52.480
sell, somebody wasn't going to come and knock down the building. >> Yep. There there are ways to do some of the those things, but that you can work. >> Just one point. Zoning changes are tied to the property and not the owner, >> right? and and you we wouldn't be able to put any stipulations. That's more like a deed restriction. So

236
01:04:52.480 --> 01:05:09.200
>> I would I'm referring to like if they did a cup or something. >> Yes, that's different than than >> that's an option that's open to them. >> That is a that is an overlay district. So it's not a stipulation. So I just wanted to make sure that the applicant understands that a stipulation is essentially is something that the city

237
01:05:09.200 --> 01:05:24.960
would not be able to do in a sense of if you do this or if the following acts occur then it would revert back. that is that that is not something that the that the city would entertain itself. That's not how it would work. So, >> I know this sounds daunting, but if you want to jot it down, what I would do is

238
01:05:24.960 --> 01:05:40.960
I would contact staff this week and jump on it, especially if it's going to be a 30-day, I would get with your council member, get their buy in between the two, figure out where you need your zoning to be and if you need a CUP or not, then come back, then get your neighborhood association buy in and then

239
01:05:40.960 --> 01:05:56.960
come back to zoning with your new proposal. What what what what classification are you guys comfortable with? He is not >> you need to get with staff to figure out >> Yeah. staff would be able to help you figure out the right fit for that without opening the door to all the different other things that can go into

240
01:05:56.960 --> 01:06:13.440
A5 area. >> Okay. >> Okay. >> The the other option is we we can just make a decision. Um and it's not a decision, it's a it's a recommendation. Uh and then city council ultimately uh

241
01:06:13.440 --> 01:06:29.599
they make the actual call. Um so then you can you know do these things that um Beth is speaking about uh and perhaps have some more buy in before you get to council. So it's it's totally up to you. We're just trying to give you your options. >> Oh yeah, I I I understand. I guess I was

242
01:06:29.599 --> 01:06:51.440
just more so >> Yes. I and just to to be clear, uh I think what you're the specific thing that you're trying to do, I don't think there's a ton of opposition for that. I think it's what could happen because of the base zoning. So that the e opens up

243
01:06:51.440 --> 01:07:07.520
a lot of doors for what could happen in the future. So that that's what our concern is. >> Yeah, I think it's wise to talk to our councilman and um talk to staff and then we'll come back in 30 days if that's okay. >> Okay. Would you be open to that, Commissioner? Yeah, we can do a

244
01:07:07.520 --> 01:07:25.119
continuence of the next meeting and then just keep in mind council doesn't meet next month. So, >> Oh, that's right. August. Yeah. So, if you weren't able to start this project till August, does that cause a problem for you? >> Yeah, we're planning to if approved because we have things that we lined up

245
01:07:25.119 --> 01:07:39.599
to do if we get the approval. So, it might delay the things that we want to do because we want to refurbish them all. So, >> Luke's 50th birthday is next year. I was trying to have his break. >> It It's going to get delayed anyways because we're not hearing any cases in

246
01:07:39.599 --> 01:07:56.079
July. What I would like to ask of staff is how we've treated these in the past. I would love to have seen that solution on this slide from the start or at least an idea and maybe the conversation happened, but I'm over here thinking about the multiple event centers we've done. We're sticking them in F. We're

247
01:07:56.079 --> 01:08:12.079
restricting uses on top of that. We're, you know, adding things. There's there were so many pieces. We would never get this done today. Um, but the solutions already exist. I was trying to find some of the cases while we were talking. I just can't type fast enough. Um, but

248
01:08:12.079 --> 01:08:27.040
it's going to work out perfectly wherever it is. We just have to tighten it up. Um, but I think we need get it going. >> All right. Thank you all very much. We appreciate it. Um, and we'll close the public hearing

249
01:08:27.040 --> 01:08:42.719
>> with a continuence to the next meeting or do you want >> August, right? We'll still have our meetings. So technically >> next you said next meeting is in 30 days. >> Is the next meeting in 30 days or in 60 days? >> We have a meeting in July. So if you

250
01:08:42.719 --> 01:08:59.520
were to come back in July then you would go perhaps in front of council in August. >> They come in August and still go before council in August. >> They would come to zoning commission in July. >> July. Okay. >> And then the uh city council meeting in

251
01:08:59.520 --> 01:09:19.279
August. First meeting. Okay. Is that is it you're open to that? Okay. Thank you'all very much. Appreciate it. >> Motion for continuence. >> And yes, we will need a motion for continuence. Uh so now I'll close the public hearing uh and leave it open for either more discussion or if you're

252
01:09:19.279 --> 01:09:34.960
ready to make a motion. >> Ready to make a motion for continuance. So for ZZ26070, I move for continuence to next m month's meeting. >> Second. >> Right. We have a motion uh for a continuence to our July meeting by Commissioner Trillo and a second by

253
01:09:34.960 --> 01:09:50.960
Commissioner Welch. >> Commissioners, how do you vote? Commissioner Reigns, >> I. >> Commissioner Trujillo, >> I. >> Commissioner Welch, >> I. >> Commissioner Edmonds, >> hi. >> Commissioner Robinson, >> I. >> Commissioner Pierce, >> no. >> Commissioner Rogers, >> I. >> Commissioner Worman,

254
01:09:50.960 --> 01:10:10.480
