UM, SO THIS CONCEPT PLAN IS AN UPDATE TO THAT.
IT WILL INCLUDE 41 RESIDENTIAL LOTS.
ANY, UH, ANY QUESTIONS OR DISCUSSIONS? NO.
I'M TRYING TO FIND, UH, I'LL ENTERTAIN A MOTION THEN I'LL MAKE A MOTION.
WE HAVE A MOTION AND A SECOND.
ANY OTHER DISCUSSION? GO AHEAD AND CAST YOUR VOTES.
ALL VOTES ARE IN MOTION CARRIES.
MOVING ON TO ITEM TWO, CONSIDER AN APPLICATION FOR A PRELIMINARY PLAT OF SENA VILLAGE OF ANDERSON SPRINGS SECTION 22 B.
SO THIS PRELIMINARY PLAT IS IN REFERENCE ALSO TO THE CONCEPT PLAN.
IT'S A WRITTEN RESPONSE APPLICATION.
THE ORIGINAL COMMENT, UM, WAS THAT THEY NEEDED AN APPROVED CONCEPT PLAN AND YOU'VE ALL JUST APPROVED THEIR CONSULT PLAN.
UM, SO NOW WE ARE RECOMMENDING APPROVAL OF THE PRELIMINARY PLOT.
ANY, UH, FURTHER DISCUSSION? THIS IS, UH, ITEM B 2 72.
HAVE A MOTION TO DO EVERY SECOND.
ANY DISCUSSION? ALL THOSE IN FAVOR CAST YOUR VOTE.
[00:15:01]
THE VOTE PLEASE.ITEM EIGHT, ZONING MAP AMENDMENTS EIGHT,
[A. PLANNED DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT - TEXAS PARKWAY FOODMART]
A PLAN DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT TEXAS PARKWAY FOOD MART.THIS IS A PUBLIC HEARING TO RECEIVE COMMENT FOR OR AGAINST THE REQUEST OF DON ASSOCIATES TO RE, TO ZONE AN APPROXIMATE 0.656 ACRE TRACT OF LAND FROM LC THREE COMMERCIAL DISTRICT TO PD PLAN DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT TO ALLOW FOR LC THREE COMMERCIAL DISTRICT USE.
AND TO THE EXTENT SUCH ZONING DEVIATES FROM THE FUTURE LAND USE PLAN AND CHARACTER MAP OF THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN TO PROVIDE FOR AN A AN AMENDMENT.
THEREFORE, THEREFROM, GO AHEAD.
SO WE RECEIVE AN APPLICATION FROM DON ASSOCIATES TO ZONE APPROXIMATELY 0.65866 ACRES TRACT LAND THAT IS LOCATED ON THE SOUTHEAST CORNER OF TEXAS PARKWAY AND THIRD STREET.
UM, THE PROPOSED ZONING WOULD ALLOW FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF A GAS STATION CONVENIENCE STORE WITH REDUCED SETBACKS AND THANKSGIVING REQUIREMENTS.
UM, SO THE PROPOSED LEARNING APPLICATION IS REQUESTING TO GO FROM LC THREE COMMERCIAL DISTRICT TO A PD PLAN DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT, WHICH WOULD ALLOW FOR THOSE DEVIATIONS.
SO THE SUBJECT SIDE, AS I MENTIONED, IS LOCATED ON THE SOUTHEAST CORNER OF TEXAS PARKWAY AND THIRD STREET.
AND DUE TO THE SIZE AND LOCATION OF THE SUBJECT SIDE, THE APPLICANT HAS CLAIMED THAT THEY ARE FACING DEVELOPMENT CONSTRAINTS, UM, IN REGARDS TO THE HEIGHTENED AREA REGULATIONS AND THE LANDSCAPING REGULATIONS.
AND SO WITH THIS APPLICATION, THEY ARE SEEKING TO, UM, REQUEST DEVIATIONS FROM THOSE AND REQUEST A REDUCTION IN BOTH HEIGHTENED AREA REGULATIONS AND THE LANDSCAPING REGULATIONS.
SO THE FIRST DEVIATION REQUEST IS FOR REDUCED BUILDING SETBACKS.
CURRENTLY, THE SITE REQUIRES SETBACKS OF 25 FEET IN THE FRONT, 25 IN THE REAR AND 30 ON THE SIDE.
AND THE APPLICANT IS REQUESTING THAT THE ALLOWED SETBACKS BE REDUCED TO 20, UM, TO 10 FEET IN THE FRONT.
10, 25 FEET IN THE FRONT, 10 FEET IN THE REAR, AND 10 FEET ON THE SIDE.
SO STAFF IS RECOMMENDING TO DISAPPROVE THE REDUCED YARD SETBACK ALONG TEXAS PARKWAY AND TO THE REAR OF THE PROPERTY.
UM, BUT TO ALLOW THE REDUCTION OF THE SIDE YARD SETBACK OF NOT LESS THAN 10 FEET ON THE SIDE ABUTTING THIRD STREET.
SO ANOTHER CONSIDERATION FOR THIS IS THAT TEXT.IS, UM, CURRENTLY HAS PLANS TO EXPAND TEXAS PARKWAY, UM, IN THIS PORTION OF THEIR RIGHT OF WAY.
AND SO A CONSIDERATION FOR Y'ALL TO TAKE INTO ACCOUNT IS THAT ALLOWING FOR A REDUCTION IN THE SETBACKS WOULD, UM, WOULD ALLOW, WOULD PUT THE OVERALL DESIGN AT RISK, THE DESIGN INTEGRITY AT RISK FOR THIS DEVELOPMENT WITH THE REDUCTION OF THE SETBACKS.
AND THE SECOND DEVIATION THAT THE, UM, APPLICANT IS REQUESTING IS FOR LANDSCAPING.
SO SECTION 11 OF THE CODE OF ORDINANCES REQUIRES THAT THERE BE A 20 FOOT LANDSCAPING BUFFER, UM, FOR ANY PROPOSED NON-RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT, UM, IN FRONT OF A MAJOR THOROUGHFARE, WHICH WOULD BE APPLICABLE IN THIS CASE.
UM, AND THEN IT WOULD ALSO REQUIRE A 10 FOOT LANDSCAPING BUFFER IN THE REAR WHERE THERE'S A DIFFERENCE IN INTENSITY.
AND SO THIS PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT WOULD BE FOR GAS STATION AND IT WOULD BE A BUDDING WHAT IS AN EXISTING EVENT CENTER.
SO THAT WOULD TRIGGER A 10 FOOT, UM, LANDSCAPING BUFFER IN THE ROOM.
SO THESE, UH, LANDSCAPING PLAN PROVIDED BY THE APPLICANT PROPOSES A 10 FOOT LANDSCAPING BUFFER IN THE FRONT AS OPPOSED TO THE 20 THAT IS REQUIRED.
UM, AND A FIVE FOOT LANDSCAPING AREA IS SHOWN ALONG THE WEST SIDE OF THE PROPERTY STAFF RECOMMENDS TO ONLY APPROVE THE REDUCTION OF THE LANDSCAPING BUFFER ALONG THIRD STREET.
UM, AND ALL OTHER LANDSCAPING BUFFER YARDS AS REQUIRED BY SECTION 11 WOULD NEED TO BE PROVIDED.
SO OVERALL STAFF IS RECOMMENDING, UH, THE COMMISSION ADOPT THIS AS ITS FINAL REPORT AND UH, FORWARD IT TO CITY COUNCIL WITH A NEGATIVE RECOMMENDATION.
ARE THERE ANY QUESTIONS? YOU, YOU SAID IT'LL BE BUDDING.
WHAT? BUDDING UP AGAINST WHAT? SO THE PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT IS CURRENTLY WOULD BE ADJACENT TO A, AN EXISTING EVENT CENTER.
UM, SO CAN YOU SLOW DOWN? I'M SORRY.
I DIDN'T STILL UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU SAID.
YEAH, SO WHERE THE SITE IS BEING PROPOSED ON THE SOUTHEAST CORNER OF TEXAS PARKWAY AND THIRD STREET, UM, JUST SOUTH OF THAT THERE IS AN EXISTING EVENT CENTER.
UM, AND SO THAT'S WHERE, UM, THE DIFFERENCE IN INTENSITY WOULD COME INTO ACCOUNT AS FAR AS COMMUT STORE VERSUS BEING NEXT TO AN EVENT CENTER.
SO IT'D BE BUDDING UP AGAINST A SENIOR FACILITY EVENT CENTER? EVENT CENTER, YES.
AT WEDDINGS RECEPTIONIST CENTER AT WEDDING CHURCH.
THAT CHURCH, IS THAT THE LANDMARK?
[00:20:01]
THE, THE NEWLY CREATED, NO, THE LANDMARK COMMUNITY CENTER? NO, I BELIEVE THE EVENT CENTER THAT'S CALLED ON EARTH.SO THE LANDSCAPING OR THE LANDMARK COMMUNITY CENTER, YOU CAN ACTUALLY SEE IT.
IT'S RIGHT ABOVE THE LE THE LEGEND, I BELIEVE THAT'S ON FIRST STREET.
WELL, DID I UNDERSTAND YOU CORRECTLY SAY, UH, IF WE APPROVE THIS, THIS COULD PUT AT RISK THE EX, UH, TEXAS PARKWAY EXPANSION THAT TECHSTAR HAS PROPOSED FOR SOME TIME IN THE FUTURE.
SO YEAH, I WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT, SO THE OVERALL, UH, RECOMMENDATION THAT STAFF IS PROVIDING IS A NEGATIVE RECOMMENDATION TO DISAPPROVE MM-HMM.
HOWEVER, BECAUSE THEY'RE APPLYING FOR A PLAN DEVELOPMENT, IT ALLOWS FOR CERTAIN DEVIATIONS, WHICH IS WHAT THEY APPLIED FOR IN THE ORIGINAL APPLICATION.
UM, AND SO WITH THOSE DEVIATIONS IS WHAT WE HAVE PROVIDED THE RECOMMENDATIONS FOR IN THE STAFF REPORT.
SO IF THE COMMISSION WANTED TO CONSIDER APPROVING THE ZONING CHANGE, UM, THOSE WOULD BE OUR RECOMMENDATIONS FOR THE DEVIATIONS.
UM, BUT YES, SO WITH THE DEVIATION REGARDING THE SETBACK REQUIREMENTS, UH, IT WOULD PUT THE DESIGN INTEGRITY AT RISK BY ALLOWING THAT, UM, JUST BECAUSE OF THE PROPOSED, UH, EXPANSION TO THE RIGHT OF WAY THAT TEXT.IS PROPOSING.
OF COURSE, THAT'S COMING WITHIN THE F THE NEXT FIVE TO 10 YEARS.
UM, BUT IT IS SOMETHING TO CONSIDER WHEN IT COMES TO ALLOWING THE REDUCTION OF THE SETBACKS FOR THIS PROPERTY.
SO INSTEAD OF WHAT YOU SAID, THE 20 SETBACK LINE, THEY WON'T T IN CORRECT IN THIS? WELL, THEY WANT A, THEY WANT INSTEAD OF THE 30, THEY WANT A 20 FOOT BUILDING SETBACK AND THEY WANT TO REDUCE THE LANDSCAPING SETBACK FROM 20 TO 10 FEET.
ANY OTHER QUESTIONS FROM THE, SO THE LC THREE GOING TO PD, IT'S REALLY JUST FOR THE VARIANCE THAT THEY'RE ASKING FOR CUZ THEY FEEL CONSTRAINED WITH THEIR CURRENT PLAN.
THE EXISTING USE DOES ALLOW FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF A GAS STATION CONVENIENCE STORE.
SO, UM, WHAT COMES WITH THE PD APPLICATION IS JUST THE DEVIATIONS AND THE BUILDING REQUIREMENTS.
ONE, THE GAS STATION TOMORROW WITH THE CRITERIA ON LC THREE.
THEY COULD BUILD A GAS STATION TOMORROW.
IS THE APPLICANT HERE PERMIT? YES.
AND THE PLAT APPLICATION IS, IS THE APPLICANT PRESENT? WOULD THEY LIKE TO SPEAK ON THIS ITEM? THE APPLICANT IS NOT PRESENT.
UM, WELL THEN THIS IS A PUBLIC HEARING, SO, UH, SOMEBODY WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK ON THIS PARTICULAR ITEM.
STATE YOUR NAME AND, UH, I THINK, DO YOU HAVE THE NAME TO CALL HIM UP? GOOD EVENING COMMISSIONERS.
GOOD EVENING LADIES AND GENTLEMEN AND FELLOW RESIDENTS OF MISSOURI CITY.
I ACQUIRED AND PURCHASED ALL OF THE LAND OF HEAVEN ON EARTH.
THAT IS ALL OF THE LAND AROUND THE RED PARCELS THAT ARE, ARE BLOCKED OUT.
UM, I AM REALLY NOT SURE WHERE TO BEGIN.
UH, CAN YOU GO AHEAD AND STATE YOUR NAME FOR THE RECORD? TAMARA SMITH.
THAT LAND HAD BEEN OWNED QUITE A BIT.
UM, ALL OF THE LAND I'VE PURCHASED 14 PARCELS 10 YEARS AGO.
AND ACROSS THE STREET ON LOUISIANA STREET NEXT TO THE, UM, LANDMARK CENTER, MY HUSBAND AND I BUILT THE NEW CONSTRUCTION HOME ON THAT APPROXIMATE ACRE OF LAND.
SO WE LIVE RIGHT ACROSS THE STREET ON LOUISIANA FROM THE VENUE HEAVEN ON EARTH.
THAT IS THE 2.2 APPROXIMATE ACRES ON DOUGLAS STREET, FIFTH STREET, THIRD STREET, AND LOUISIANA.
I ALSO OWN ALL OF THE LAND FROM DOUGLAS STREET TO THE CORNER OF TEXAS PARKWAY AND FIFTH STREET.
AND THEN ON THIRD STREET THERE IS AN OFFICE BUILDING BETWEEN DOUGLAS AND THIRD.
AND I OWN THREE PARCELS OF THAT.
AND I FEEL LIKE I'M SO PROUD OF BEING A RESIDENT IN MISSOURI CITY FOR SEVEN YEARS.
[00:25:01]
GATEWAY INTO OUR CITY, LADIES AND GENTLEMEN.AND THE GENTLEMAN THAT PURCHASED THE FOUR TRACKS TOOK DOWN ALL OF THE TWO TO 300 YEAR OLD OAK TREES.
HE DID NOT REGISTER AND GET A PERMIT TO PULL UP THOSE TREES.
HE DIDN'T GO TO THE PUBLIC WORKS AND GET PERMITS TO DO ANY OF THAT.
AND WHEN HE DID SO, UM, HE NOT ONLY, YOU KNOW, DESTROYED A LOT OF BEAUTY BEFORE HE DECIDED TO MAYBE DEVELOP IT, BUT HE ALSO TORE UP ALL OF THE PLUMBING LINES THAT ARE ALSO A PIECE OF, UM, THERE'S A LITTLE CHAPEL IN THE WOODS ON DOUGLAS STREET AT 3 0 7 DOUGLAS STREET THAT BISHOP TAMMY DOBBINS THAT IS WITH ME TONIGHT IN THE CROWD, HAS LEASED THAT PROPERTY FOR ABOUT SEVEN YEARS.
AND THEY WENT WITHOUT PUBLIC WATER AND SEWER FOR SEVERAL MONTHS UNTIL WE COULD GET EVERYTHING STRAIGHTENED OUT.
HE DIDN'T TAKE ANY OWNERSHIP FOR IT, DID HE? HE DID NOT OFFER, UM, TO ASSIST IN ANY WAY.
AND IT WAS CLEARLY HIS, UM, IMPROPER, UH, WAYS TO DO WHAT HE WANTED TO DO IN DEVELOPING IT AND TEARING UP ALL THE LINES.
ANYWAY, UM, I JUST FEEL LIKE THIS IS THE GATEWAY INTO OUR CITY.
AND YES, WITH TECH DOT I'VE BEEN THROUGH IMMINENT DOMAIN ON HIGHWAY 1 46.
I KNOW WHAT THAT IS ALL ABOUT.
AND I DON'T SEE WITH MY WEDDING VENUE, THE LITTLE CHAPEL IN THE WOODS THAT MEETS ON WEDNESDAYS, SATURDAYS, AND SUNDAYS.
AND THE PARISHIONERS THAT CROSS DOUGLAS STREET, UM, ALSO THE ROSE APARTMENTS WITH THE RESIDENTS, THE 10 UNITS THAT THOSE GENTLEMEN AND LADIES HAVE LIVED FOR NEARLY 20 PLUS YEARS THERE.
UM, AND OUR COMMUNITY CENTER NOW THAT HAS OPENED THE DOORS TO SO MANY WONDERFUL THINGS THAT HAVE BUILT OUR CITY EVEN GREATER, UM, THAT A CONVENIENCE STORE OR A GAS STATION IS JUST SOMETHING THAT WE'RE REALLY NOT READY FOR.
AND THE ECON, UH, THE ENVIRONMENTAL THINGS THAT IT'LL BRINGS AND THEN THE LATE NIGHT DRIVE-BYS AND ALL OF THAT.
I THINK IF WE WORK TOGETHER, WE CAN DEVELOP THE LAND.
WE CAN MAKE IT SOMETHING GREAT FOR THE CITY.
I HAVE A LOT OF LAND THAT A DISCOVERY GREEN ZONE COULD BE, WE COULD HAVE FOOD TRUCKS ON CERTAIN EVENTS AND, AND I EVEN OPENED UP THE VENUE TO A WARMING CENTER DURING THE FREEZE.
HOUSTON BAPTIST UNIVERS UNIVERSITY STUDENTS, THE SOCCER TEAM WAS THERE, PARENTS AND CHILDREN, A YOUNG COUPLE THAT JUST MOVED TO MISSOURI CITY TWO DAYS BEFORE WITH A LITTLE CHILD STAYED THERE.
AND I THINK THAT IT COULD BE WISELY DEVELOPED IN THE FACT THAT HE REMOVED ALL THE TREES.
HE ALREADY DESTROYED MORE THAN 10 FEET OF, OF THE, UH, LANDSCAPE.
SO LET'S THANK, THANK YOU FOR YOUR COMMENTS.
UM, AND, AND AS COMMISSIONER MALLEY STATED, UM, THAT LAND IS ALREADY ZONED LC THREE, SO THEY COULD PUT A GAS STATION THERE TODAY.
THE, THE PROBLEM THAT THEY'VE ENCOUNTERED IS THEY CAN'T PUT A GAS STATION THERE TODAY MEETING OUR REQUIREMENTS.
SO, UM, YOU KNOW, JUST TO BE CLEAR, OKAY, THAT ALL WE'RE DOING TONIGHT IS DECIDING WHETHER OR NOT WE COULD ALLOW THEM TO DEVIATE FROM THE REQUIREMENTS IN ORDER TO PUT THAT GAS STATION THERE.
JUST KEEP IN MIND THE JANUARY 17TH COUNCIL MEETING.
UM, I RECOMMEND IT YOU BE THERE AND VOICE THOSE CONCERNS IN THREE MINUTES.
THIS I WILL GATHER MY THOUGHTS.
THIS WILL, THIS WILL GO TO COUNCIL, UH, WITH OUR RECOMMENDATION.
WE DON'T DECIDE IT, WE JUST MAKE THE RECOMMENDATION.
THANK YOU FOR BEING OUR NEIGHBOR TOO.
I JUST HAD A REAL QUICK COMMENT THAT I'D LIKE TO SAY UNDER WHERE THIS PROPERTY IS.
I DON'T THINK THEY'RE GONNA ALLOW AN ACCESS OFF OF TEXAS PARKWAY.
SO THE ONLY ACCESS WILL BE THROUGH THIRD STREET.
AND ON THIRD STREET, ALL THE BUSES COME FROM THE SCHOOL TO PULL OUT ON TEXAS PARKWAY.
THE STREET IS NOT WIDE ENOUGH FOR BIG COMMERCIAL BIG TRAVELS.
AND IF YOU, I, I FEEL LIKE IT'S GONNA BE A REAL HINDRANCE FOR THE, FOR TEXAS PARKWAY RIGHT THERE.
CAUSE THERE'S REALLY NO ACCESS EXCEPT FOR THE MAIN STREET.
[00:30:01]
OKAY.IS THERE ANYBODY ELSE THAT WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK ON THIS ITEM? AND IF YOU PLEASE WOULD TRY TO KEEP HER COMMENTS TO THREE MINUTES OR LESS READY.
YOU CAN SAY EVERYBODY AGAIN, AS SHE SAID, I'M BISHOP TAMMY DIAMONDS AND I UNDERSTAND EVERYTHING THAT YOU ALL ARE SAYING.
I UNDERSTAND THE FACT THAT YOU SAY THE THE STORY IS ALREADY GONE TO TAKE PLACE, BUT I, I'M WITH HER ON THAT.
I UNDERSTAND EVERYTHING YOU ALL SAYING, BUT DO WE NEED ANOTHER GROCERY STORE, ANOTHER CONVENIENCE STORE THAT IS REALLY SOMETHING THAT WE NEED TO THINK ABOUT.
THAT'S SOMETHING WE NEED TO CONSIDER.
I KNOW THAT HE'S ALREADY GOT IT WHERE HE CAN PURCHASE IT AND HE CAN BUILD IT TOMORROW.
THE QUESTION IS, OUR CONCERN IS, DO WE NEED, IT'S A WONDERFUL CHURCH THERE, WE HAVE WONDERFUL SERVICES THERE, EIGHT AND 10, BUT TO PUT A CONVENIENCE STORE THERE, OH MY GOD, WHAT IS THAT GONNA DO? WHAT KIND OF, WHAT IS IT GONNA BRING? WHAT IS IT REALLY GONNA DO? SO THAT'S JUST MY PERSONAL OPINION.
GOOD EVENING, COUNCIL MEMBERS, CITY OFFICIALS AND MISSOURI CITY RESIDENTS.
I'M ADDRESSING EVERYONE TODAY IN REGARDS TO A FUTURE DEVELOPMENT OF ANOTHER GAS STATION, OBVIOUSLY ON THIRD STREET AND TEXAS PARKWAY.
WOULD YOU PLEASE STATE YOUR NAME? WOULD YOU STATE YOUR NAME FOR THE RECORD, PLEASE? DALA.
AS YOU'RE AWARE THAT MISSOURI CITY MIDDLE SCHOOL AND ELEMENTARY SCHOOL IS RIGHT ON THE BACK OF THE PROPERTY, RIGHT? A THOUSAND FEET PROBABLY FROM THE NEW DEVELOPMENT GAS STATION.
LET'S RECALL WHAT HAPPENED SIX MONTHS AGO WHEN THERE WAS A LOT OF OPPOSITION FROM THE CITY RESIDENCE.
IT WAS ON THE MEDIA, NEWSPAPERS, HOUSTON CHRONICLE, THAT ALLOWED A DEVELOPER TO SECURE PLANS TO BUILD A GAS STATION RIGHT NEXT TO THE CITY PARK ON INDEPENDENCE BOULEVARD AND GRAND PARKWAY DRIVE.
IN LAST FIVE YEARS, CITY HAS PERMITTED TO DEVELOP THREE NEW BUILD GAS STATION WITHIN CITY LIMITS AND CORRIDOR OF TEXAS PARKWAY.
IF WE DRIVE AROUND TEXAS PARKWAY TODAY, THERE IS STATION ON EVERY CORNER.
WE NEED TO ASK OURSELVES, DO WE NEED ANOTHER GAS, GAS STATION? DO WE NEED OUR CITY TO BECOME LIKE OTHER CITIES WHERE NO ZONING LAWS HAVE ALLOWED FOUR GAS STATIONS AS A SINGLE LIGHT? I REQUEST THE CITY OFFICIALS AND COUNCIL MEMBERS TODAY TO CONSIDER THE IMPACT IT'LL HAVE ON THE COMMUNITY AND THE TRAFFIC OVERALL.
I DO KNOW THAT THE CURRENT, UM, OWNER CAN DEVELOP IT IN A GAS STATION, BUT I WAS ALWAYS THINKING THAT LC THREE REQUIRED A SPECIAL USE PERMIT TO BUILD A GAS STATION.
IT'S, IT'S A PERMITTED USE IN THAT AREA.
AND AS, AS, UM, AS, AS WE HAVE ON OWNER SAID, THEY, THEY WILL NOT ALLOW A TEXT OR, UH, TEXT OR APPROVAL FOR THE DRIVEWAY ON TEXAS PARKWAY.
THE FRONTAGE IS LESS THAN 200 FEET.
THERE'S NO WAY HE CAN GET A DRIVEWAY PERMIT FROM THERE.
AND, AND IF, IF THEIR FUEL TRUCKS COMING FROM THIRD STREET, HOW ARE THEY GONNA GET OUT? SO THAT'S JUST MY COMMENTS ON IT.
I THINK IT'LL IMPACT OVERALL TRAFFIC AS WELL AS THE MIDDLE SCHOOL.
WE HAVE TO CONSIDER THIS KIDS COMING OUT OF THE MIDDLE SCHOOL BUS IS COMING OUT OF THE MIDDLE SCHOOL.
SO I'M GONNA BRING IT UP TO THE COUNCIL ON JAN, JAN 17 MEETING.
BUT THIS IS JUST SOMETHING TO CONSIDER.
THANK YOU BUDDY FOR YOUR COMMENTS.
IS THERE ANYBODY ELSE THAT WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK ON THIS ITEM? MAKE A MOTION TO CLOSE THIS.
UH, MAKE, DID YOU MAKE THE MOTION? OH, DID YOU MAKE A MOTION TO CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING OR HE, HE'S, THERE WE GO.
AND, UH, A MOTION IN A SECOND.
ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION, PLEASE CAST YOUR VOTES.
WHAT ARE WE CANCELING OUR VOTE FOR? TO CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING? THE CLOSE.
ITEM TWO IS TO CONSIDER PO CONSIDER POSSIBLE ACTION, CONSIDER RECOMMENDATION AND FINAL REPORTS TO THE COUNCIL ON, UH, ON THIS PARTICULAR ITEM.
UM, SO THE MOTION WOULD BE TO ACCEPT THIS AS A FINAL REPORT WITH THE DISAPPROVAL AS THE RECOMMENDATION WITH A NEGATIVE RECOMMENDATION? YES.
THAT'S, THAT'S WHAT STAFF IS RECOMMENDING AND THAT'S WHAT MY MOTION IS.
MR, CAN YOU TURN YOUR MICROPHONE ON AND SAY THAT AGAIN?
SO WE HAVE A MOTION, UH, TO ADOPT THIS REPORT AND FORWARD THE
CAN WE GO OVER THOSE NEGATIVE RECOMMENDATIONS AGAIN PLEASE? UM,
[00:35:01]
WELL ESSENTIALLY THE, THEY'RE ASKING FOR MORE ROOM AND LESS LANDSCAPING.SO WHAT THEY'RE ASKING FOR, WE ARE DENYING IT, RIGHT? THEY'RE ASKING DISAPPROVAL, THE ZONING, DISAPPROVING IT TO ALLOW, ALLOW THOSE VARIANCES.
THAT'S WHAT I WANTED TO BE CLEAR ON.
THE OVERALL RECOMMENDATION IS A NEGATIVE RECOMMENDATION.
UM, WHAT WAS IN THE STAFF REPORT WAS IF THE COMMISSION WANTED TO CONSIDER APPROVING THE PD.
SO WE ARE DENYING, DENYING THE PD, RIGHT? WE'RE RECOMMENDED THAT CITY COUNCIL OR RECOMMENDED TO CITY COUNCIL THAT THIS BE DISAPPROVED.
SO IT WILL GO BACK, IT'LL GO WHERE IT CURRENTLY IS, WHICH, RIGHT.
I JUST DIDN'T NEED DIFFERENT YOU HAVE THE ROOM? YEAH, YEAH, YEAH.
THIS WON'T KEEP THEM FROM PUTTING A GUEST STATION, RIGHT? I UNDERSTAND.
YEAH, CUZ IT'S ALREADY ZONED FOR THAT.
IT WILL KEEP THEM FROM BUILDING IT.
IT PROBABLY, I, I WOULD HAVE TO SPECULATE THAT THEY, THEY WANT THIS EXTRA ROOM BECAUSE IT'S NOT VIABLE IF THEY DON'T HAVE IT.
BUT, UH, SO WE DO HAVE A MOTION.
AND SECOND, ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION IF EVERYONE WOULD PLEASE CLASS THEIR VOTES.
[B. PLANNED DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT - THE SHED]
B PLAN DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT FOR THE SHED.IT'S A PUBLIC HEARING TO RECEIVE COMMENTS FOR AGAINST A REQUEST BY ANDREA METZ LUBBOCK COMMERCIAL TO AMEND PD NUMBER 113 TO ALLOW FOR LC RETAIL USE.
DISTRICT ON TRACKED SHOULD SAY A AS DESCRIBED IT EXHIBIT A OF THE PD, ET CETERA, ET CETERA.
THIS, THIS, UH, AMOUNT WOULD ALLOW LC THREE RETAIL DISTRICT USES IN ADDITION TO THE EXISTING AGE RESTRICTED R FIVE RESIDENTIAL DISTRICT USES.
OKAY, SO WE RECEIVED AN APPLICATION FROM LUBBOCK COMMERCIAL TO AMEND, UH, PD PLAN DISTRICT NUMBER ONE 13 TO INCLUDE LC THREE RETAIL DISTRICT USES WITHIN TRACK A OF THE PLAN DEVELOPMENT.
SO PD NUMBER ONE 13 INCLUDES MULTIPLE TRACKS OF LAND ALONG HIGHWAY SIX, BETWEEN WATTS PLANTATION DRIVE IN NORTH END, SOUTH CREEK ONE DRIVE.
AS YOU CAN SEE, UM, ON THE SCREEN TRACK, A SPECIFICALLY IS LOCATED ON THE SOUTHWEST CORNER OF HIGHWAY SIX AND WATTS PLANTATION DRIVE.
SO THE PD WAS ORIGINALLY NEAR APPROVED BY CITY COUNCIL ON DECEMBER 20TH, 2021.
UM, IT WAS ORIGINALLY APPROVED WITH THE MULTITUDE OF USES.
UM, AND TO KIND OF GO OVER THOSE BRIEFLY, TRACK A CURRENTLY ALLOWS FOR R FIVE TOWNHOUSE, UM, RESIDENTIAL USES FOR AGE RESTRICTED SENIOR LIVING OR SINGLE FAMILY ATTACHED AND DETACHED TOWNHOUSES.
B INCLUDES RESIDENTIAL USES, C INCLUDES, UM, STORAGE WAREHOUSE USES, AND D AND E ALSO INCLUDE LC THREE RETAIL USES AS WELL.
SO THE APPLICANT IS NOW SEEKING TO AMEND THE PD TO ALLOW FOR LC THREE RETAIL USES SPECIFICALLY ON TRACK A, WHICH IS A TRACK THAT I REFERENCED AS CURRENTLY ALLOWING FOR R FIVE TOWNHOUSE RESIDENTIAL USE USES.
SO THE PD DOES NOT CONTAIN ANY FURTHER AMENDMENTS AND STAFF IS RECOMMENDING APPROVAL OF THE AMENDMENT.
ARE THERE ANY QUESTIONS? UH, ANYBODY HAVE ANY QUESTIONS OF STAFF? ONE OF THE LETTERS SAID THAT THERE WAS PROMISES MADE, AND THIS IS GOING BACK ON A PROMISE.
I WASN'T SURE HOW TO INTERPRET THAT BASED UPON THE CURRENT ZONING.
AND SO THAT'S AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE DEVELOPER AND, UH, THE HOA, I BELIEVE.
UM, THE CITY IS NOT INVOLVED, UM, WITH THAT AT ALL.
WHAT IS, UH, WEST OF THAT TRACK? VIBER OR THAT SHOWN AS A, UH, SO DIRECTLY WEST OF IT, THERE'S AN EASEMENT AND THEN WEST OF THAT EASEMENT IS WHAT'S CURRENTLY BEING DEVELOPED AS A FUNERAL HOME.
THE SHIPMAN'S HIGHWAY FUNERAL HOME, IT CAME BEFORE YOU ALL AS A SPECIFIC USE PERMIT, I BELIEVE EARLIER THIS YEAR.
SO THEY'RE IN THE FINAL PLATTING STAGE.
UM, AND THEY CURRENTLY SUBMITTED A BUILDING PERMIT, SO IT WA IT IS GOING TO GET FUNERAL HOME.
SO THE CLOSEST RESIDENTIAL WOULD BE, I GUESS SOUTH AND EAST OF THAT.
AM I, AM I THE LOWER RIGHT THERE? CORRECT.
YEAH, THE CLOSEST RESIDENTIAL DISTRICT IS, UH, DIRECTLY SOUTH, YEAH.
[00:40:01]
MONT IN THIS CASE? YES.IS THE APPLICANT PRESENT TONIGHT? YES.
WOULD YOU LIKE TO SPEAK ON THIS PARTICULAR ITEM? HELLO? UM, WE, UH, GO AHEAD AND STATE YOUR NAME PLEASE.
UM, SO THIS TRACK WAS PREVIOUSLY LC THREE AND WHEN WE, UM, WENT TO REZONE IT, WE REZONED IT, UM, TO RESIDENTIAL PER AND EXACTLY PER THE AGREEMENT WE MADE WITH CREEK MONT.
UM, WE ARE NOW SEEKING TO JUST HAVE THE ABILITY TO DO RESIDENTIAL OR LC THREE USES AS IT WAS PREVIOUSLY
SO, UM, WE'D JUST LIKE TO BE ABLE TO HAVE MORE FLEXIBILITY DEPENDING ON WHAT THE MARKET, UM, WHAT THE FUTURE OF THE MARKET MAY BRING TO THIS AREA.
IF WE'RE NOT ABLE TO FIND A DEVELOPER OR, UM, SOMEONE WHO WANTS TO WORK WITH US ON THE SPECIFIC RESIDENTIAL USE THAT IS, THAT WE'VE AGREED TO FOR THIS TRACT, WE'D LIKE TO BE ABLE TO, UM, BE ABLE TO BE OPEN TO A MORE COMMERCIAL USES, WHICH WOULD BE IN LINE WITH THE REST OF THE TRACKS AND WHAT IT WAS PREVIOUSLY.
AND I, I, I SEE ON THE, THE, THE CONCEPT PLAN THAT YOU'VE LISTED, RESTAURANT MEDICAL CENTER OFFICE, RIGHT? AS IN ANTICIPATION OF THAT'S SOMETHING YOU MIGHT HAVE TO DO.
CORRECT? THOSE ARE THE KINDS OF USES THAT IF, IF INTEREST WERE DISPLAYED, WE'D LIKE TO BE ABLE TO OFFER IT.
THE COMMISSION HAVE ANY OTHER QUESTIONS OF THE APPLICANT? SO, I'M SORRY, I GOT OFF TRACK HERE.
I'M HAVING PROBLEMS WITH MY COMPUTER.
SO IT'S CURRENTLY AT LC THREE? NO, IT, IT, IT'S CURRENTLY ZONED R FIVE.
IT WAS PREVIOUSLY ZONED LC THREE BEFORE THE PD WAS CREATED.
AND NOW THEY'RE ASKING, THEY'RE ASKING TO ADD LC THREE BACK IN TO GIVE THEM THE OPTION OF DOING R FIVE OR L E C THREE.
LET'S SAY IF WE DECIDED TO RECOMMEND LC THREE AGAIN, UH, WHAT DO YOU HAVE IN MIND PUTTING THERE? UM, WHAT WE'VE SUGGESTED IS CONCEPTUAL.
SO WE HAVE, FOR EXAMPLE, A RESTAURANT OR A MEDICAL OFFICE OR A CAFE, UM, IT COULD BE, UH, A DAYCARE.
WE CAN'T, WE CAN'T PREDICT WHAT THE MARKET MIGHT, UM, YOU KNOW, MIGHT BRING US IN THE FUTURE, BUT THESE ARE THE KINDS OF USES THAT WE THINK WHAT THAT WE'D LIKE TO BE ABLE TO OFFER IF THE MARKET DOES SUGGEST THAT THESE ARE USES THAT OTHER PEOPLE WOULD LIKE.
I UNDERSTAND THE USE FOR HEALTHY THREE, BUT I WAS BUT THE USE THAT YOU JUST ENUMERATED, ARE THOSE WHAT YOU WOULD LIKE TO SEE? YES, WE LOVE, WE'D LOVE TO SEE THOSE USES.
SO HAVE YOU MET WITH THE HOMEOWNERS AGAIN SINCE YOU WANT TO SWITCH THIS BACK TO LC THREE.
HAVE YOU MET WITH THEM AGAIN AND DISCUSSED THIS? WE HAVE NOT.
WE, BECAUSE IT WAS A SUGGEST BECAUSE WHAT WE'D LIKE TO DO WAS WHAT WAS THERE ALREADY, UM, AS LC THREE, WE'D LIKE TO JUST ADD THIS POSSIBILITY AT WHICH WE THINK WOULD BE A PLUS FOR THE RESIDENTS OF, YOU KNOW, USES SUCH AS THE MEDICAL OFFICE OR A DAYCARE OR, UM, OR A RESTAURANT SLASH CAFE.
SO YOU SEE IT AS A, AS A POSITIVE FOR THIS AREA.
WELL, APPARENTLY THEY HAD AGREED ON YOUR ORIGINAL REQUEST, WHICH IS, UH, I MEAN YOUR CURRENT REQUEST, WHICH IS THE R FIVE.
YOU ALL APPARENTLY MET AND DISCUSSED IT AND THEY AGREED TO THE R FIVE.
NOW YOU WANT TO ADD THE LC THREE BACK, BUT YOU HAVE NOT MET WITH THEM.
[00:45:01]
TO HAVE A MEETING IF THAT'S WHAT THE NEIGHBORHOOD WOULD LIKE.NO ONE HAS REACHED, REACHED OUT TO YOU FROM THE NEIGHBORHOOD TO MEET AGAIN? I HAVE NOT RECEIVED ANY EMAILS OR PHONE CALLS, NO.
ANY, ANY OTHER QUESTIONS OF THE APPLICANT? THANK YOU.
IS THERE ANYBODY IN THE AUDIENCE THAT WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK ON THIS ITEM? I, I'LL CALL THEM UP ONE AT A TIME.
SO FIRST WE'RE GONNA HAVE CHARMAINE OH, YOU HAVE A LIST.
I'M SORRY, WHAT WAS THAT NAME AGAIN? CHARMAINE BAILEY.
THANK YOU FOR GIVING ME THIS OPPORTUNITY.
UM, I'M GONNA GO DIRECTLY TO SOME OF THE THINGS WE DISCUSSED AS A NEIGHBORHOOD.
ONE OF THE QUESTIONS WAS ASKED, WHAT DO WE WANT? FIRST OF ALL, WE DO WANT THE COMMUNITY TO BE DEVELOPED.
WE WERE PROMISED THERE WAS A BOULEVARD THAT SAID WE ARE GONNA HAVE DINING, SHOPPING, ENTERTAINMENT, ANOTHER SERVICES.
IN KEEPING WITH THAT, WE'D LIKE TO SEE INTERESTING, EXCITING, AND INVITED VENUES THAT FOLKS OUTSIDE OF MISSOURI CITY WOULD LIKE TO DRIVE TO.
AND ALL MISSOURI CITY RESIDENTS WILL WANT TO COME AND PATRONIZE.
WE WANT DINING WITH ETHNIC AND OTHER VARIETIES SUCH AS LORENZO, TM, PO SALATA, GREENO AND OTHER BROKEN EGG, ET CETERA, ET CETERA.
NICE PLACES WE WANT SHOPPING SUCH AS NON SEXUALLY ORIENTED GIFT SHOPS, A CANDLE SHOP, SUCH PLACES SUCH AS CHICOS, CLAIRS, UM, JEWELRY STORE OUTLET STORES, HEALTHY SUPERMARKETS SUCH AS SPROUTS AND TRADER JOE'S.
WE WANT EDUCATION, ENTERTAINMENT, AND WELLNESS.
WE APPRECIATE THE CINEMA COMPLEX.
WE WOULD LOVE A PARK WITH WALKING TRAILS.
WE'D LIKE TO SEE Y M C A OTHER COMMUNITY TYPES, HEALTH, FITNESS AND EDUCATION CENTER, STEM CENTER, MULTICULTURAL ART CENTER RESTAURANTS THAT OFFER FINE MUSIC.
WHAT WE DON'T WANT, WE DON'T WANT LIQUOR STORES, BARS, SEXUALLY ORIENTED BUSINESSES, MORE FAST FOOD PLACES.
WE REALLY DON'T WANT THAT FUNERAL HOME, BUT I UNDERSTAND IT'S IN PLACE ALREADY.
MOTELS, APARTMENT COMP COMPLEXES AND GAS STATIONS THAT WILL NOT BE MAINTAINED.
AND I REFERENCE THE APARTMENT COMPLEX BY SANTANNA SPRINGS AND THE FORT LYNN PARKWAY AND THE FORMER STRIPES NO STORAGE FACILITIES AND AUTO SHOPS.
WE HAVE AN ABUNDANCE OF THESE IN THE AREA.
WE HAVE AN ABUNDANCE OF EMPTY RETAIL STORE IN THE AREA.
SO WE WANT, WE DON'T WANT ANY BUSINESS THAT WILL EVENTUALLY LEAD TO THE AESTHETIC AND OTHER DETERIORATION OF OUR NEIGHBORHOOD AND THE SURROUNDING COMMUNITIES.
IN SUMMARY, WE'D LIKE TO SEE BUSINESSES THAT WILL ENHANCE AND CONTRIBUTE TO THE POSITIVE DEVELOPMENT OF THE SECTION OF MISSOURI CITY.
NEXT WE HAVE, UH, FELICIA ZILCH.
AND THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS OPPORTUNITY TO SPEAK.
UM, BASICALLY GOING TO BE, UM, MY NAME'S FELICIA ZILCH.
UM, KIND OF REITERATING WHAT, UM, MS. CHARMAINE WAS SAYING IN THAT IF YOU WOULD FOCUS ON STUFF THAT HASN'T ALREADY BEEN STATED.
BECAUSE, BECAUSE I, IT'S UNFORTUNATE, BUT THE, ALL THE THINGS THAT SHE WANTS ARE WHAT THEY WANT TO CHANGE IT TO.
BECAUSE RIGHT NOW IT'S APARTMENTS OR CONDOS, TOWNHOUSES.
AND THAT'S THE ONLY THING THEY CAN BUILD THERE.
SO I'M MENTALLY REMOVING THINGS IS ALREADY BEEN SAID
SO, UM, WHAT I DID WANNA, UM, EMPHASIZED WAS THAT, YOU KNOW, HIGHWAY SIX IS ALREADY, UM, ALREADY HAS AN ABUNDANCE OF, UM, SHOPPING STRIP COMPLEXES.
MANY WHICH HAVE, WHICH HAVE EMPTY STOREFRONTS AND HAVE HAD THOSE EMPTY STOREFRONTS FOR QUITE SOME TIME.
AND WE DON'T WANT THAT IN OUR NEIGHBORHOOD.
UM, WE BELIEVE THAT HAVING, UM, ABUNDANCE OF THESE NOVELTY BUSINESSES, CLUBS, LOUNGES, MUSIC VENUES, SMOKE SHOPS AND ALL THAT WOULD NEGATIVELY IMPACT OUR PROPERTY VALUES, INCREASED CRIME AND TRAFFIC, AND ULTIMATELY WOULDN'T ATTRACT ENOUGH BUSINESS TO SUSTAIN THE DEVELOPMENT.
UM, WE WANT SOMETHING BOTTOM LINE THAT'S GOING TO ADD VALUE TO OUR COMMUNITY.
[00:50:14]
GOOD AFTERNOON.RENA MARSHALL, 45, 10 SOUTH CREEK MONT.
I AM THE SPEAKING ON BEHALF OF THE BOARD AND OUR RESIDENCE, UH, WITH OUR MEETINGS.
UM, THIS COMPANY HAS BEEN DOING THE BAIT AND SWITCH FOR AS LONG AS WE'VE BEEN WORKING WITH THEM.
THEY SAY ONE THING THEY PROMISE, ONE THING THEY DO ANOTHER.
THEY DIDN'T JUST PROMISE IT TO US.
THEY PROMISED IT TO THE MAYOR, THEY PROMISED IT TO CITY COUNCIL.
THEY PROMISED IT TO BE PLANTED AND ZONING.
SO IF IT DID NOT GET BACK TO THEM, WE HAVE A CS POOL OF DEVELOPMENT THAT HAS, UH, HAPPENED ALREADY WITH STRIPES.
HAD WE NOT ASKED FOR THE THINGS THAT WE DID WITH STRIPES, IT WOULD BE A REAL MESS.
BUT THAT'S, EVEN THE STRIPES HAS BECOME THE SUCCESS POOL.
OKAY? AND THAT'S WITH US HAVING A WORKING RELATIONSHIP WITH THEM.
WE HAVE, THIS GOES AGAINST THE, UH, PD THAT YOU GUYS HAVE WORKED ON, UH, THAT YOU HAVE A COMMITTEE THERE, THERE ARE OTHER AREAS THAT THIS COMPANY OWNS.
B C D E, ALL, ALL THE WAY AROUND Y THAT THEY CAN DO ALL THE BUSINESSES THEY WANT NOW THAT THEY WANT TO JUMP BACK AND CHANGE THAT BACK BAIT AND SWITCH.
WE'VE BEEN SHARING THAT WITH YOU ALL FOR YEARS.
THEY DO THE SWITCH, THEY DON'T EVEN KEEP UP THE PROPERTY.
I PAY FOR, OUR COMMUNITY PAYS FOR KEEP UP A PART OF THAT PROPERTY.
THEY HAVE, WE HAVE A LOT WE WANT, I DON'T WANNA SAY SOME THINGS HAVE ALREADY SAID SOME OF THESE EMPTY PLACES WE ALREADY HAVE IN PLACE.
UM, OUR COMMUNITY IS ASKING THAT YOU'RE NOT CHANGING BACK TO LC THREE.
WE, WE GAVE A LOT, BUT THE RESIDENTIAL, AND WE REALLY HOPE THAT YOU GUYS JUST DON'T GIVE THEM ANOTHER RUBBER STAMP.
I KNOW IT SEEMS THAT YOU MAY BE IN AGREEMENT WITH IT, BUT WE'RE NOT.
UM, THERE ARE SEVERAL MEDICAL SPACES ALREADY ALONG THIS CORRIDOR THAT HAVE HAD TO CH CLOSE THAT MAYBE YOU GUYS APPROVED.
THEY'VE CLOSED BECAUSE IT WAS JUST TOO MUCH.
SO WE ARE ASKING THAT YOU'RE NOT REZONE THIS TO LC THREE.
THEY HAVE LOTS OF AREA THAT THEY CAN WORK WITH.
THEY DON'T HAVE TO BE GIVEN A RUBBER STAMP ON ANOTHER AREA.
NEXT WE HAVE, UH, QUILLY PARKER.
GOOD AFTERNOON ZONING COMMISSION, UH, EVENING WEATHER.
I'M HERE ALSO REPRESENTING SOME OF THE HOMEOWNERS OF, UH, THE CREEK MOUNT SUBDIVISION.
AND WE'VE FOUGHT FOR DIFFERENT ZONING CHANGES IN OUR AREA TO MAKE SURE THAT THOSE PROPERTY AND THE VALUES ARE MAINTAINED.
I THINK SOME OF THE KEY THINGS YOU HAVE TO CONSIDER AND WHAT WAS PRESENTED BY THE DEVELOPER IS THAT EVERYTHING THAT WAS PRESENTED IS CONCEPTUAL, WHICH MEANS THAT IT'S NOT HARD AND FAST, WHICH MEANS THAT IT COULD CHANGE.
CHANGING THE ZONING TO LC THREE WOULD OPEN UP THE OPPORTUNITY IF OTHER OPPORTUNITIES FOR THEM WAS TO PRESENT IT, THEY COULD CHANGE TO THEM, WHICH WOULD BE SOMETHING THAT WE ARE NOT SUPPORTIVE OF.
SO WE ARE REALLY OPPOSED TO CHANGING THE ZONING CUZ THAT OPENS UP OTHER AVENUES THAT NO ONE CAN CONTROL.
BUT MY CONCERN, UM, IS THEY NEVER GOT WITH THE, THEY NEVER, UM, CALLED A MEETING WITH THE RESIDENTS IN REFERENCE TO REZONING.
AND THAT'S A PROBLEM FOR ME BECAUSE HOW CAN YOU ASK TO REZONE WHEN YOU HAVE NOT SPOKEN TO THE RESIDENTS? SO, I DON'T KNOW.
[00:55:01]
I I REALLY DON'T WANT THE CHANGE, UH, BECAUSE TO ME, AND I COULD BE WRONG, THAT IT'S GOING TO OPEN THE DOOR TO ANY TYPE OF BUSINESSES.AND I'VE WORKED HARD FOR MY PROPERTY.
I MEAN, I'M A SINGLE DIVORCED MOTHER.
AND, UM, I'M JUST NOT READY TO, UM, TO JUST OPEN THE DOOR TO ANY TYPE OF BUSINESSES COMING INTO THE AREA.
I'VE, UM, I'VE RAISED MY KIDS THERE.
UH, I DON'T WANT ANY TYPE OF, JUST ANY TYPE OF PEOPLE COMING IN AND, AND BECAUSE OF THE BUSINESSES AND DISRUPTING MY PEACE.
JUST TO BE CLEAR, I'M HERE SPEAKING AGAINST THE REQUESTED AMENDMENT TO THE SHED ZONING, UH, AMENDMENT REQUEST AGENDA ITEM EIGHT B.
AND THE, THE CONCEPT CONCEPTUAL CONCEPTUAL DIAGRAM IS A LITTLE CONFUSING.
UH, I WANNA FIRST MAKE IT HAVE IT MADE CLEAR, PLEASE, IN THE ME IN THE MINUTES THAT THIS IS A REQUEST TO AMEND TRACK FIVE AND TRACK FIVE ONLY, UM, FOR CLARITY.
PLEASE MAKE IT CLEAR IN THE MINUTES, NO MATTER THE RESULT, THAT ONLY TRACK FIVE IS AFFECTED BY THIS AMENDMENT REQUEST.
L THREE ZONING REQUESTED, UH, IS REQUESTED.
WE WENT THROUGH THIS PD PROCESS.
SOME GOT WHAT THEY WANTED, SOME DIDN'T.
BUT WE SETTLED ON A SMALL, UH, A SMALL SENIOR COMPLEX.
AND THAT'S WHAT WOULD, THAT'S WHAT THE DECISION WAS.
I WAS ASSURED BY PLANNING THAT THE BEST THING WE COULD DO IS HAVE A PLANNED DEVELOPMENT BECAUSE THAT REQUIRED THE DEVELOPER TO COME TO THE COMMUNITY FOR THIS AMENDMENT REQUEST.
THEY DID NOT COME TO THE COMMUNITY AT ALL.
UM, I WAS SURPRISED THAT STAFF APPROVED IT BECAUSE THAT IS ONE OF THE REQUIREMENTS THAT DIDN'T HAPPEN.
UM, IT'S WORKING AGAINST WHAT A UH, PD IS SUPPOSED TO DO.
IT WILL BRING THEIR CONCEPT TO SIX RESTAURANTS, SIX RESTAURANTS IN THAT SMALL STRIP.
AND WE HAVE RESTAURANTS CLOSING IN THAT AREA RIGHT NOW.
UH, MS. METZ PHYSICALLY PROMISED TO MAYOR ELLA CAT TO COUNSEL AND TO OUR COMMUNITY THAT BECAUSE MAYOR ELLA CAT ASKED HER, HER, HE CALLED HER OUT AND ASKED HER IF THEY WERE TO DO, IF THEY WERE GOING TO DO ANYTHING, ANY DEVELOPMENT AT ALL, THEY WOULD DEVELOP WHAT WE AGREED TO.
SHE SAID YES PUBLICLY, AND IT'S RECORDED.
AND THIS IS EXACTLY THE OPPOSITE OF THAT.
L THREE L THREE ZONING IS AN UNDESIRED CHANGE FROM THE ORIGINAL AND CAN ALLOW UNDESIRABLE BUSINESSES, THE WORST BEING MOTELS, LOUNGES, GASOLINE SERVICE STATION, PAWN SHOPS, TIRE BATTERY, ACCESSORY REPAIR PLACES, ALL IN VERY, VERY, VERY CLOSE PROXIMITY TO OUR HOMES.
THE DEVELOPERS SHOULD HAVE ALREADY COME TO OUR NEIGHBORHOOD WITH ALL OF THE DEVELOPMENT COMING UP WITHIN A TWO MILE, MUCH LESS A THREE MILE RADIUS OF WHICH IS SO MUCH IS VACANT.
THERE SHOULD BE NO CHANGE TO THE L THREE, TO THE, THERE SHOULD BE NO CHANGE TO THE R FIVE ZONING.
I'M SORRY, MS. ROSS, IT'S BEEN THREE MINUTES.
CAN I JUST WRAP UP AS THIS OTHER LADY WAS ALLOWED TO? PLEASE GO AHEAD.
UM, THERE SHOULD BE NO CHANGE TO THE R FIVE IN THAT WAS, THAT'S BEEN PLANNED IN THE PD FOR, FOR TRACK FIVE.
THERE SHOULD BE THE TOWNHOME CONCEPT FOR SENIORS AS ORIGINALLY AGREED, WHICH WOULD KEEP DEVELOP THE DEVELOPER'S PROMISE TO US.
CHANGING TO L THREE WOULD ALLOW THE DEVELOPER TO PUT SOME BAD STUFF.
SOME BAD STUFF TO CL VERY CLOSE TO OUR HOMES.
AND WE ASKED THAT YOU NOT APPROVE THIS.
[01:00:01]
ANY OTHERS? UH, SO THOSE WERE THE PEOPLE WHO, UH, REGISTERED TO SPEAK.IS THERE ANYBODY ELSE THAT WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK ON THIS ITEM? AND, AND PLEASE IF ONLY IF YOU HAVE SOME DIFFERENT PERSPECTIVE THAT THAT HASN'T ALREADY BEEN MENTIONED COME FORWARD PLEASE.
I WALKED THROUGH THAT NEIGHBORHOOD QUITE A BIT AND I CAN ONLY REMEMBER SEEING ONE FOR SALE SIGNS.
SO WE ARE COMFORTABLE, WE'RE SAFE, BUT THE THING I'VE NOTICED IS THAT WE HAVE NO CONTROL OF WHAT FRESNO DOES.
AND ALREADY I SEE A HEART'S CHICKEN.
AND IF, IF, IF, IF WE DON'T KEEP CREEK BOND AS IT IS BEFORE LONG, WE WON'T KNOW THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN MISSOURI CITY AND FRESNO AND, AND ALL THAT PART OF FRESNO, WHICH IS COMMERCIALIZED.
IT'S GONNA BE JUST ONE CONTINUOUS, UH, SET OF BUSINESSES AND, AND WE BOUGHT THOSE PROPERTIES THINKING WE'RE MOVING INTO A RESIDENTIAL AREA.
WE WOULD LIKE TO KEEP IT STRICTLY RESIDENTIAL AS IT IS.
ANYBODY ELSE? SEEING NONE? UH, I'LL ENTERTAIN A MOTION.
WELL, I'LL SECOND IT THEN IF IT'S ALREADY BEEN MADE.
OH, MR. O'MALLEY, COULD I GET A SECOND PLEASE? THERE YOU GO, MR. CHAIRMAN.
OKAY, ALL THOSE IN FAVOR? VOTE NOW PLEASE.
WE ARE VOTING TO CLOSE THE HEARING.
UM, SO WE'RE AT, UM, ITEM TWO, CONSIDER POSSIBLE ACTION, CONSIDER RECOMMENDATION, A FINAL REPORT TO CITY COUNCIL, UM, ON EIGHT
SO FOR CLARIFICATION, IS THAT MOTION FOR NEGATIVE RECOMMENDATION? NEGATIVE RECOMMENDATION.
AND I SECOND SO WE HAVE A MOTION AND A SECOND.
UM, ANY DISCUSSION? UH, YEAH, SOME CLARIFICATION JUST TO MAKE SURE IT'S CURRENTLY R FIVE.
AND ACCORDING, UH, TO THE REPORT, R FIVE IS TOWNHOUSE RESIDENTIAL DISTRICT FOR AGE RESTRICTED SENIOR LIVING, SINGLE FAMILY ATTACHED AND DETACHED TOWNHOUSES, SINGLE FAMILY DETACHED DUPLEXES, PATIO OR CLUSTER SINGLE FAMILY DWELLINGS.
SO THAT WAS, THAT WAS WHAT WAS AGREED TO A YEAR AGO, RIGHT? CORRECT.
AND UH, AND NOW WHAT THEY'RE ASKING IS, WELL, WE, WE MIGHT WANT TO CONTINUE THAT PATH OR ALTERNATIVELY WE MIGHT WANT TO GO BACK TO LC THREE CORRECT.
WHICH IS WHAT THE OTHER FOUR ARE TO ADD IT, CORRECT? YEAH.
IN OTHER WORDS, TO GIVE AN OPTION TO, TO DO EITHER ONE THOUGH, RIGHT? BUT DON UNDERSTAND THAT CORRECTLY.
UH, AND THERE WAS AN UNDERSTANDING A YEAR AGO, CAUSE I REMEMBER WE VOTED ON THIS THING MM-HMM.
AND I REMEMBER QUITE A FEW PEOPLE SPEAKING OUT THEN AGAINST STAR FIVE.
SO I'M TRYING TO, TRYING TO PULL ALL THAT TOGETHER, YOU KNOW, A RETROSPECTIVE WHAT WAS SAID A YEAR AGO, YOU KNOW, WHAT, WHERE WERE THE COMMUNITY KIND OF STOOD AT THAT TIME.
UH, I, I THINK THEY EVENTUALLY AGREED AFTER SPEAKING WITH THE MAYOR AND, UH, CITY COUNCIL AND SPEAKING WITH THE, UM, OWNER OR THE, UM, DEVELOPER.
DEVELOPER, THEY AGREED, THE RESIDENTS AGREED TO THE, UM, R FIVE AGREED TO CHANGE IT FROM THE LC THREE, THREE TO THE R FIVE.
SO THE SENSE WAS AT THAT TIME A YEAR AGO WERE THEREABOUTS THAT ORIGINALLY IT WAS, THE INTENT WAS WERE TO ALWAYS BE LC THREE, THE WHOLE FIVE TRACKS ABOUT, WELL, THE, THE EXISTING ZONING OF ALL THOSE TRACKS WAS
[01:05:01]
LC THREE.SO THE, THE, THE CONCEPT AS I RECALL IT WAS, UH, MIXED USE.
AND, AND SO THEY, THEY, THEY HAVE FOUR SECTIONS, FOUR OTHER TRACKS THAT ARE LC THREE AND REMAINED LC THREE.
AND THEY WANTED TO INTRODUCE, UH, AN OPTION TO DO SOME RESIDENTIAL, AND THAT'S WHERE THEY END UP WITH R FIVE IN THAT SECTION.
SO IT WAS KIND OF THIS MIXED USE CONCEPT.
AND SO THE OTHER FOUR SECTIONS CAN HAVE ALL THESE LC THREE THINGS, RIGHT? RIGHT.
EVEN THE, THE, THE SECTION, UM, WHICH TRACK IS THAT? THE ONE THAT'S RIGHT ADJACENT TO CREEK MONT IS ALL ZONED LC THREE.
SO THEY CAN BUILD ANYTHING LC THREE THERE.
UM, AND THEN ACROSS THE STREET IS ALL LC THREE.
AND THEN, SO, YOU KNOW, NOW, UH, IT, IT APPEARS THAT THEY ARE HEDGING A LITTLE AND, AND WANT THE OPTION TO DO EITHER R FIVE OR LC THREE, OR SOME MIXTURE OF THAT IS THE WAY I INTERPRET THE REQUEST.
UM, AGAIN, PROBABLY BASED ON WHAT THE, THEIR MARKET, YOU KNOW MM-HMM.
BUT THE DEVELOPER ORIGINALLY, WHEN YOU'RE SAYING THEY, THE DEVELOPER, RIGHT? CORRECT.
A YEAR AGO WAS OKAY WITH A BEING DESIGNATED AS R FIVE, CORRECT? CORRECT.
SO SOMETHING'S HAPPENED IN THE SUBSEQUENT 12 MONTHS
THAT NOW WE, I I, A LOT'S HAPPENED IN THE PAST 12 MONTHS.
I, I'M JUST TRYING TO UNDERSTAND SOME CONTEXT HERE.
BECAUSE I GUESS MY QUESTION WOULD BE WHY DOES IT R FIVE BEGIN WITH YEAH, I, I, YOU KNOW, I, I CAN'T REMEMBER THE EXACT RATIONALE, BUT, BUT I BELIEVE IT WAS THE DESIRE TO HAVE THIS MIXED USE CONCEPT.
AND, AND MAKE IT ATTRACTIVE, UM, YOU KNOW, TO BE ABLE TO HAVE SOME RESIDENTIAL TO SUPPORT ALL OF THAT RETAIL THAT THEY WERE HOPING TO BE ABLE TO PUT IN THERE IN A CERTAIN TYPE OF RESIDENTIAL, NOT SPECIFICALLY.
UH, WELL THEY NEEDED A DENSITY THAT MADE IT WORTHWHILE, RIGHT? YEAH.
YOU KNOW, UNDERSTAND R ONE AND R TWO WEREN'T NOT GONNA GET IT.
SO, SO, YOU KNOW, AND THEY DIDN'T GO THE NEXT STEP, WHICH WOULD'VE BEEN APARTMENTS, WHICH, SO OSTENSIBLY THE IDEA WAS KIND OF A MIXED USE TYPE OF CONCEPT A YEAR AGO AND NO, PERHAPS NOT SO MUCH CORRECT.
AND IT'S STAFF'S POSITION THAT IT'S STILL CONSISTENT WITH THE 2017 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN.
DO YOU WANNA ELABORATE ON THAT JUST A LITTLE BIT? I, I SEE IT IN HERE, BUT YEAH, YOU'RE TRYING TO SEE WHAT WAS THE STAFF RECOMMENDATION? YEAH, I MEAN, I THINK YOU HAD THREE GOAL, WELL, GOAL TWO, GOAL TWO ONE AND GOAL TWO THREE, BUT IT MIGHT BE WORTH JUST, RIGHT.
SO THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN OUTLINES, UM, INCLUDES THE FUTURE LANE USE PLAN, WHICH, UM, IDENTIFIES HIGHWAY SIX AS A MAJOR THOROUGHFARE.
AND SO ALONG HIGHWAY SIX WE HAVE, OR THE FUTURE LAND USE PLAN HAS DESIGNATED TO BE SUBURBAN COMMERCIAL DISTRICT, WHICH WOULD INCLUDE, UM, ADDING RETAIL TO ALONG THE CORRIDOR TO SUPPORT THAT COMMERCIAL, THOSE COMMERCIAL USES.
UH, COMMISSIONER BAILEY, CAN I OH SURE, SURE.
JUMP IN QUICK AND ASK MS. GOMEZ A QUESTION.
NOW THEY'RE WANTING TO ADD RIGHT LC THREE.
SO IT WILL BE ZONED FOR BOTH LC THREE AND R FIVE.
IS THAT WHAT IT OR SO, UM, BECAUSE IS THERE, IS THERE A, UM, I'M TRYING TO SEE IF THERE IS A, UM, ZONING, ONE ZONING CODE FOR THAT.
SO IT WILL BE TWO SEPARATE ZONING CODE? THAT'S CORRECT.
SO, UH, KEEPING IN MIND THE STRAIGHT USE DISTRICTS ARE SI ARE SINGLE DISTRICTS, SO YOU QUITTING AND ZONING, SO THE COMMERCIAL DISTRICTS ALLOW FOR COMMERCIAL USES, RESIDENTIAL DISTRICTS ALLOW FOR RESIDENTIAL USES.
SO THE PLAN DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT ALLOWS FOR THAT FLEXIBILITY TO MIX A COMBINATION OF USES IN DIFFERENT WAYS.
UM, SO WHAT THE PD DOES HERE IS IT ALLOWS FOR THE RESIDENTIAL ON THIS TRACK BASED ON THE CONCEPT PLAN THAT'S ADOPTED WITH THAT PD.
AND SO WHAT THE REQUEST IS, IS THEY'RE NOT REMOVING THE RESIDENTIAL, BUT THEY'RE ASKING FOR THE FLEXIBILITY OF ADDING, UH, LC THREE BACK TO IT.
SO IF THEY HAVE A USE THAT IS PERMITTED UNDER LC THREE,
[01:10:01]
THEN THEY COULD MOVE FORWARD WITH DEVELOPING THAT.OR IF THEY HAVE A USE THAT'S PERMITTED UNDER THE R FIVE, THEY WOULD BE ABLE TO MOVE FORWARD WITH THAT.
BUT TWO SEPARATE ZONING CODE, CORRECT? YES.
ANY OTHER DISCUSSION, I GUESS, UM, THE, THE, THE ONE WOMAN THAT, THAT WANTED TO MAKE SURE IT WAS CLEAR THAT IT WAS TRACK FIVE IN THE EXHIBIT, IT'S LISTED AS TRACK A, RIGHT? SO JUST FOR CORRECT.
AND SOME, SOME OF THAT CLARIFICATION IS BECAUSE, SO THE, THE TRACKS AREN'T PLATTED.
UM, AND SO, YOU KNOW, AS A REQUIREMENT FOR ZONING, ZONING RUNS WITH THE LAND, UM, SO YOU HAVE TO HAVE, UH, DESCRIPTIONS OF PROPERTY, UH, FOR A PROPERTY TO BE ZONED.
UH, SO THEY HAVE SURVEYS THAT KIND OF COMBINE THE TRACKS, SO IT'S NOT A CLEAN KIND OF DISTINCTION ON THE TRACKS.
SO ON THE PUBLIC NOTICE THAT WENT OUT, UM, WENT OUT LAST YEAR AS WELL.
SO TRACKS ONE, UM, THERE'S MULTIPLE TRACKS THAT ARE DEFINED ON ONE SINGLE SURVEY.
SO THAT'S WHAT THE NUMBERING, UM, REFERENCES.
THE CONFUSION IS, IS THE, THE CONCEPT PLAN THAT WAS ADOPTED, UH, WITH THE PD DESCRIBES THE TRACKS AS LETTERS.
UM, SO IT'S NOT ALWAYS, IT'S NOT A MATCH FOR MATCH, UM, ON THE NUMBERS AND THE LETTERS, UM, NOTICED IN THE, IN THE ORDINANCE IT SAYS TRACK FOUR, FIVE, AND SIX, I THINK.
AND THAT'S, AND THAT'S REFERENCING THE, THE LEGAL DESCRIPTION, UH, FOR THAT PROPERTY.
SO IT COMBINES ALL THOSE PROPERTIES TOGETHER.
ANY OTHER DISCUSSION OR QUESTIONS, MR. CHAIR? I CALL A QUESTION.
ALL RIGHT, WE HAVE A MOTION AND WE HAVE A SECOND.
AND I BELIEVE, UM, JUST AS A REMINDER, UH, COMMISSIONER LUCAS DID REMIND ME THAT, UM, THIS GOES TO CITY COUNCIL, AND SO IF YOU WANT TO, UM, SHOW UP AT THIS, THE CITY COUNCIL MEETING AND, AND SPEAK ON THIS PARTICULAR ITEM, THEY WILL ULTIMATELY MAKE THE DECISION ON WHETHER OR NOT THIS CHANGE IS MADE.
WHAT WAS THAT AGAIN? YOU RECORDED IT.
WHAT WAS IT FORWARD TO? SOMETHING FOR, TO FORWARD TO.
IT'S NOT FOR ME TO SAY, BUT IT'S FORWARDED TO.
[10. OTHER MATTERS WITHIN THE JURISDICTION OF THE COMMISSION OR THE CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS ADVISORY COMMITTEE]
OKAY.SO THE, IT GOES TO CITY COUNCIL WITH A NEGATIVE RECOMMENDATION.
AND THAT IS THE LAST ITEM ON THE AGENDA.
I TRIED TO MAKE A MOTION TO A ADJOURN, BUT I GUESS WE DON'T NEED NONE.
DID IT GET RECORDED? UM, NOBODY MADE A MOTION AND NOBODY SAID I WAS TRYING TO MAKE A MOTION TO ADJOURN.
