Dec 05, 2024 Planning & Zoning Commission

[00:00:01]

AND WE WILL CALL THE MEETING TO ORDER OF THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION FOR THE MONTH OF DECEMBER.

[DECLARATION OF A QUORUM AND CALL TO ORDER]

AND WE WANT TO I UNDERSTAND THAT, MR.

[1. Introduction and Swearing-in of new Planning and Zoning Commission Member Jeff Roberson.]

BUT I'LL GO BY YOU. OKAY.

I UNDERSTAND YOU'VE ALREADY BEEN SWORN IN.

YES, SIR. AND WE WANT TO WELCOME YOU TO JOIN OUR COMMISSION.

AND WE WANT TO THANK ELLEN EBBY FOR HER TIME ON THIS COMMISSION.

SO THAT TAKES CARE OF ITEM NUMBER ONE.

[2. Discussion and possible action on the minutes for the Planning and Zoning Commission meeting held on October 3, 2024.]

HOPEFULLY EVERYBODY'S HAD A CHANCE TO REVIEW THE MINUTES.

I WILL SAY THAT WE HAD ONE CHANGE.

IT WAS JUST A MINOR TYPO WHICH HAS BEEN CORRECTED.

VERY GOOD. I MOVE TO -- ARE WE THERE YET? WE'RE THERE. I MOVED TO APPROVE THE MINUTES.

ALL RIGHT, I HAVE A I HAVE A MOTION BY MISS TOWNSEND AND A SECOND BY MISS SPOOR.

ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION, IF NOT ALL THOSE IN FAVOR INDICATE BY SAYING AYE.

AYE. AYE. OPPOSED. SAME SIGN.

MOTION CARRIES.

ALL RIGHT. SO NEXT WE ARE DOWN TO ITEM THREE.

[3. Conduct a public hearing, discussion, and take possible action on an Ordinance approving a request to amend the Zoning Map from MFR-29, Multi-family Residential District to LILight Industrial District on approximately 2.594 acres (Part of Property ID: 171030, A0375 IT TINSLEY TRACT 128B1-128B2, ACRES 4.868 (ANGLETON), for property located at the rear of 105 Cemetery Rd., Angleton, Brazoria County, Texas.]

29 MULTI-FAMILY RESIDENTIAL DISTRICT TO LIGHT INDUSTRIAL DISTRICT ON APPROXIMATELY 2.594 ACRES.

PART OF THE PROPERTY ID 171030 OF THE IT TINSLEY TRACT, LOCATED AT THE REAR OF 105 CEMETERY ROAD, ANGLETON, BRAZORIA COUNTY, TEXAS. OTIS, I ASSUME YOU'RE GOING TO SPEAK TO THIS ISSUE? YES, SIR. AND THANK YOU.

THIS IS A REQUEST BEFORE YOU FOR A REZONING OF PROPERTY, AS YOU SEE, LOCATED AT THE REAR OF 105 CEMETERY ROAD.

IN THE REAR OF THE APARTMENTS THAT ARE EXISTING ON THE FRONT EDGE OF CEMETERY ROAD.

THE APPLICANT WHO IS A PART OF ED INVESTMENTS, IS REQUESTING THAT THE CITY WOULD CONSIDER REZONING THIS PROPERTY FROM MULTIFAMILY MFR 29 TO LEE LIGHT INDUSTRIAL FOR THE 2.5 OR 2.6 OR SO ACRES THAT YOU SEE REFLECTED HERE.

THE PROPERTY, OF COURSE, AS STATED, IS RESIDENTIAL.

TYPICALLY, WHAT WE DO ON THE STAFF SIDE, WE'RE RESPONSIBLE, OF COURSE, FOR NOTIFYING EVERYONE WITHIN 200FT OF THE PROPERTY AND ALSO TO DULY NOTE, POST THE LEGAL AD WITHIN THE NEWSPAPER OF THIS PARTICULAR PUBLIC HEARING.

AND THEN IT GOES ON TO CITY COUNCIL WITH WHATEVER RECOMMENDATION YOU ARRIVE AT TODAY.

THE APPLICANT IS PROPOSING TO CHANGE THE PROPERTY TO THE LIGHT INDUSTRIAL DISTRICT FOR PURPOSES OF THE RV AND BOAT STORAGE REQUEST FOR THE PROPERTY.

IF THEY WERE TO DO SO, WE'VE LISTED IN THE STAFF SUMMARY SOME OF THE STIPULATIONS FOR LIGHT INDUSTRIAL.

WHEN IT COMES TO THOSE TYPE OF FACILITIES.

WE HAVE TO, OF COURSE, CONSIDER THE MAXIMUM IMPERVIOUS COVER RATIO OF THE PROPERTY, WHICH DEALS OF COURSE, WITH PARKING LOT.

IN THIS INSTANCE.

SO WE CALLED OUT THOSE REQUIREMENTS WHICH MUST BE MET BY THE APPLICANT.

AND OF COURSE, IF IT WERE, IF IT WERE REZONING, THEY HAVE TO GO THROUGH PROPER PLANNING AND ALL OF THAT.

THERE'S ALSO REVIEW CRITERIA IN WHICH WE HAVE TO WEIGH FOR REZONINGS TO MAKE SURE THAT THERE ARE NEGATIVE, NO NEGATIVE IMPACTS IN TERMS OF SURROUNDING CONDITIONS OF THE PROPERTY.

CURRENTLY THERE IS A STORAGE FACILITY TO THE IMMEDIATE WEST OF THE PROPERTY.

MINI STORAGE, THAT IS APARTMENTS, AS YOU SEE ON THE FRONTAGE AND IN THE REAR AND TOWARD THE EAST, THERE ARE SOME RESIDENTIAL THAT WILL REMAIN.

TO THE NORTH OF THE PROPERTY IS ALSO OTHER MFR 29 PROPERTY, WHICH IS CURRENTLY OWNED BY AMERICAN LEGION, WHICH IS VACANT LAND, AND THEN TO THE IMMEDIATE WEST OF THE PROPERTY ALONG BUSINESS 288 IS LIGHT INDUSTRIAL.

SO TODAY, WHAT WE TRY TO ARRIVE AT IS TO ENSURE THAT THERE IS NOT ANY SPOT ZONING IN THE SITUATION IN TERMS OF THEIR REQUESTING AND OF COURSE, TO LOOK AT THE IMPACTS OF THE SURROUNDING PROPERTY.

SO SOME OF THE ALERTS THAT WE BROUGHT ABOUT WITHIN THE STAFF SUMMARY WOULD BE THE ACCESS TO THE PROPERTY.

TYPICALLY, IN THESE INSTANCES, THERE SHOULD BE A SITE PLAN.

THAT WAY YOU CAN SEE HOW IT WILL FLOW INTO THE PROPERTY.

WITH 2.5 ACRES IS NOT MUCH RV STORAGE AND BOAT STORAGE THAT THEY'LL BE ABLE TO ACHIEVE.

SO, IT WILL BE A MINIMUM NUMBER OF UNITS IS WHAT WE'RE GUESSING.

SO IT WON'T BE A HIGH INTENSE USE AS WE'RE PREDICTING.

SO ANY TYPE OF TURNING RADIUSES WOULD HAVE TO BE DEMONSTRATED ON SUCH A SITE PLAN.

SO WHAT WE'RE ASKING YOU TO DO IS, IN ANY CONSIDERATION THAT YOU MAKE IS TO CONDITION IT UPON A SITE PLAN COMING BACK TO THE PLANNING COMMISSION.

AS A REQUIREMENT.

[00:05:01]

I'LL ALSO TOUCH ON THE LAND USE PLAN.

OUR COMPREHENSIVE PLAN, WHICH TYPICALLY THESE REZONINGS HAVE TO BE WEIGHED AGAINST OUR MASTER PLAN.

THE PROPERTY, AS YOU SEE IN THE STAFF REPORT, IS LISTED AS THAT MIXED COMMERCIAL USE WHICH WOULD ALLOW FOR OFFICE, RETAIL AND MULTIFAMILY, WHICH IS, YOU KNOW, CONSISTENT IN TERMS OF WHAT IT'S ALWAYS BEEN.

THE LIGHT COMMERCIAL USE OF PARKING COULD BE CONSIDERED SOME LIGHT COMMERCIAL TYPE USE, NOT NECESSARILY ANY TYPE OF HEAVY COMMERCIAL.

SO, STAFF HAD NO REAL HEARTACHES ABOUT THE REQUEST.

I WILL SAY IN THE PAST THEY'VE TRIED TO MARKET IT FOR MANY STORIES AND ALL OF THAT, BUT STAFF AND THE ADMINISTRATIVE STAFF KIND OF DISCOURAGED THAT TO THE APPLICANTS, AND THEY'RE AWARE OF THAT.

BUT WITH THIS REQUEST, I THINK IT'S A LITTLE DIFFERENT BECAUSE THEY WON'T BE ABLE TO, AS I STATED, MAXIMIZE THE LOT IN TERMS OF ANYTHING WITH HIGH INTENSITY.

SO THE APPLICANTS ARE AVAILABLE TODAY TO KIND OF EXPLAIN WHAT THEY'RE PROPOSING.

AND YOU HAVE OPPORTUNITY TO FIELD ANY QUESTIONS TO THEM.

I'VE GIVEN YOU PHOTOGRAPHS OF THE SURROUNDING AREA.

IF YOU HAVE ANY OTHER QUESTIONS OF STAFF, WE'LL BE GLAD TO ENTERTAIN THAT.

THIS IS TAKING SOME OF OUR MULTIFAMILY INVENTORY OFFLINE.

MFR 29 WHICH IS THE RECOMMENDATION FOR THE PROPERTY CURRENTLY UNDER THE CURRENT ZONING.

SO YOU'LL HAVE TO KEEP THAT IN MIND.

THAT'S ALL THAT I HAVE RIGHT NOW FROM STAFF.

WE'LL KIND OF DELAY IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS.

LATER, I'LL BE GLAD TO ANSWER THOSE.

LET'S DO THE PUBLIC HEARING FIRST.

OKAY. THANK YOU. THIS TIME, I'LL ENTERTAIN A MOTION TO OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING.

SO MOVED. SECOND.

MISS BERRY AND A SECOND BY MISS TOWNSEND.

ALL THOSE IN FAVOR INDICATE BY SAYING AYE.

AYE. THE SAME SIGN.

OKAY. THE PUBLIC HEARING IS NOW OPEN.

IS THERE ANYONE HERE THAT WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK IN FAVOR OF OR AGAINST THIS PARTICULAR REQUEST IS NOW OPEN.

SO, MA'AM, IF YOU WOULD COME TO THE PODIUM AND TELL US WHO YOU ARE, AND I ASSUME YOU'RE ASSOCIATED WITH THE PROPERTY.

I AM. GOOD AFTERNOON, EVERYONE.

MY NAME IS AMBER CARTER.

I AM THE ASSET MANAGER ON BEHALF OF THE OWNERSHIP GROUP FOR THE PROPERTY.

AND I AM ALSO A LICENSED REAL ESTATE BROKER.

AND SO JUST WANTED TO INTRODUCE MYSELF AND GIVE YOU A LITTLE BIT OF COLOR ON WHAT WE'RE LOOKING TO DO.

THE LAND IN THE BACK OF THE PROPERTY IS VACANT LAND.

AND SO INSTEAD OF CONTINUING TO KEEP IT AS VACANT LAND AND BEING LOOKED AT AS A BLIGHT, WE WANT TO BE ABLE TO CLEAR THAT LAND OFF AND PUT IT TO SOMETHING OF GOOD USE, OF COURSE.

AND SO, WE THINK THAT THIS WOULD BE THE BEST OPTION, THE HIGHEST AND BEST USE FOR THE VACANT LAND.

AND SO WE DID LOOK INTO POTENTIALLY ADDING AT LEAST 29 UNITS THERE, BUT UNFORTUNATELY DUE TO THE PRICE POINT, THE COST OF MATERIALS AND WHAT WE WOULD HAVE TO LEASE THOSE UNITS OUT AT TO AT LEAST BREAK EVEN FOR OUR RETURN ON INVESTMENT AND EVEN THE EXPENSE OF BUILDING A NEW, NEW CONSTRUCTION 29 UNIT PROPERTY.

IT WOULD BE VERY EXPENSIVE AND THE RENTS WOULD NOT BE SUSTAINABLE FOR THE MARKET.

AND SO WE THINK THAT EVEN WITH OUR FEASIBILITY STUDY, IT DID PROVE THAT THE HIGHEST AND BEST USE WOULD BE AN RV AND BOAT STORAGE.

WE THINK THAT THAT WOULD ALLOW US TO CLEAR UP THAT LAND, BRING SOME MORE CLIENTELE TO THE CITY AND CONTINUE TO KEEP GROWING ON, YOU KNOW, WHAT YOU ALL HAVE CREATED ON THE FOUNDATION OF ANGLETON.

ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

WE MAY HAVE QUESTIONS AFTER THE PUBLIC HEARING, BUT WE WE TYPICALLY DON'T DO BACK AND FORTH DURING THE PUBLIC HEARING.

PERFECT. SO THANK YOU.

THANK YOU. IS THERE ANYONE ELSE WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK ON BEHALF OF THIS ITEM? GOING ONCE, GOING TWICE.

I'LL ENTERTAIN A MOTION TO CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING.

SO MOVED. SECOND.

I HAVE A MOTION BY MISS TOWNSEND, A SECOND BY MR. HESTON. ALL THOSE IN FAVOR INDICATE BY SAYING AYE.

AYE. OPPOSED? SAME SIGN.

OKAY. PUBLIC HEARING IS NOW CLOSED.

SO, WHAT THE ONLY QUESTION IN MY MIND IS WHAT ELSE IS ALLOWED IN LIGHT INDUSTRIAL? THAT MAY NOT BE SO IDEAL BEING ADJACENT TO RESIDENTIAL PROPERTY.

GOOD QUESTION. AND SO CURRENTLY IN YOUR LIGHT INDUSTRIAL DISTRICT CODE, UNFORTUNATELY THERE ARE SOME USES THAT WE SORT OF FLAGGED BEFORE THE COUNCIL THAT WE NEED TO GO IN. AND I THINK DOING AN AMENDMENT ON CURRENTLY THE WORST CASE SCENARIO WOULD BE A SALVAGE YARD METAL RECYCLING FACILITY.

HINT, HINT ONE THAT WE CURRENTLY HAVE IN OUR RETAIL DISTRICT.

OUR C3 RETAIL DISTRICT.

AND WE HIGHLY RECOMMEND THAT SOMETHING LIKE THAT BE PUT IN INDUSTRIAL INSTEAD OF IN YOUR COMMERCIAL DISTRICT.

[00:10:03]

SO AS YOU SEE IN THE STAFF SUMMARY, THERE ARE SOME CONDITIONS THAT, YOU KNOW, WE ADDED IN TERMS OF PROPER SCREENING, MINIMUM EIGHT FOOT HIGH BUFFERING SCREEN OF SOME SORT, ESPECIALLY WHERE THE RESIDENTIAL WOULD LIE TO HIDE ANYTHING FROM VIEW.

BUT I WOULD SAY IF THERE'S ANYTHING YOU WANTED TO DISCOURAGE IN TERMS OF THIS PARTICULAR CONSIDERATION, I THINK YOU SHOULD RAISE THAT AS A LIMIT.

IF THERE ARE SOME CONCERNS OF ANY PARTICULAR USES THAT YOU WOULD SAY, HEY, OR IF YOU JUST SAY, HEY, THIS LIGHT INDUSTRIAL RECOMMENDATION HERE IS SOLELY FOR THE RV STORAGE PARK BECAUSE WE'RE REQUESTING A SITE PLAN THAT WOULD TIE IT DOWN AND GIVE YOU ALL THE DETAILS OF WHAT YOU'RE APPROVING.

I THINK WE CAN GET THAT.

THAT SPECIFIC IS WHAT I'M SAYING.

OKAY. THAT WAY, ANYTHING THAT CAME BEFORE YOU IS SUBJECT TO SITE PLAN APPROVAL, AND THEY DON'T OVER TRY TO COME IN AND DO SOMETHING THAT, HEY, WE DON'T SEE IT BEING FIT FOR THIS AREA.

YOU CAN FRAME YOUR RECOMMENDATION ALONG THOSE LINES AND WE WILL VET IT THROUGH LEGAL TO MAKE SURE IT'S PLACED IN THE ORDINANCE PROPERLY AND IT'S DEFENSIBLE.

BUT STAFF WOULD HAVE THE SAME CONCERNS, AND I WOULD THINK THAT WOULD BE THE WORST CASE SCENARIO FOR LIGHT INDUSTRIAL.

OTHER THAN THAT, YOU CAN DO AUTOMOBILE TYPE RELATED USES, COLLISION REPAIR AND ALL OF THOSE SORTS OF THINGS.

YOU KNOW, SOME THINGS ARE NOISE PRODUCING.

ANYTHING ENVIRONMENTALLY WOULD BE PROTECTED, YOU KNOW, THROUGH THE TCEQ OR ANYTHING OF THAT NATURE.

SO, FUMES OR ANYTHING THAT WOULD COME FROM AN INDUSTRIAL USE WOULD HAVE TO BE PROTECTED.

BUT I WOULD THINK WITH THIS 2.5 ACRES, IT NEEDS TO BE LIMITED TO SOMETHING SPECIFIC.

TO THAT, TO THAT AREA.

I'VE ALWAYS BEEN UNDER THE IMPRESSION THAT ONCE COUNCIL REZONES SOMETHING, IT IS IT IS THAT NEW ZONE UNTIL THE OWNER, WHETHER IT BE THE CURRENT OWNER OR A FUTURE OWNER, REQUEST AN ALTERNATIVE ZONING.

AND SO I GUESS I'M QUESTIONING EFFECTIVELY I'M QUESTIONING I MEAN, WE CAN SAY THAT WE WANT TO LIMIT IT TO JUST THIS ONE PURPOSE, BUT WILL THAT STAND UP IN COURT, I GUESS IS THE QUESTION.

AND THAT'S WHAT WE WOULD VET THROUGH LEGAL, I THINK WITH THOSE LIMITED CONDITIONS OF THEIR APPROVAL, THEY WOULD BE TIED BY ORDINANCE BY SITE PLAN.

BUT OURS IS ONLY A RECOMMENDATION, RIGHT? WHAT IT ULTIMATELY DEPENDS ON IS WHAT COUNCIL CONDITIONS THERE.

DOES COUNCIL MIGHT BE TOTALLY AGAINST IT ALTOGETHER RIGHT.

WE DON'T KNOW THAT. OKAY.

BUT I THINK IT'S JUST WE NEED TO GIVE THEM A COMPLETE RECOMMENDATION.

ANOTHER APPROACH WE WOULD DO IN AN INSTANCE LIKE THIS IS REQUEST THAT IT BE A PLANNED DISTRICT DEVELOPMENT WITH THE LIMIT WITH A LIGHT INDUSTRIAL BASE DISTRICT.

THAT'S ONE WAY THAT YOU DO TIE IT TO A SPECIFIC PLAN AND USE.

SO REZONINGS CAN BE, YOU KNOW, MODIFIED AT THE FLOOR OF COUNCIL IN TERMS OF, YOU KNOW, AN ALTERNATIVE.

NOW, WOULD AN ALTERNATIVE BE TO EXPAND THE SPECIFIC USE PERMITS TO INCLUDE THE SALVAGE YARD AND ANYTHING ELSE THAT MAYBE CONCERNED US ABOUT BEING SO CLOSE TO RESIDENTIAL AREAS THAT WOULD NECESSITATE AN AMENDMENT TO THE TEXT, IF THAT MAKES SENSE.

YOU WOULD HAVE TO CHANGE YOUR ORDINANCE TO ADD THAT AS A SPECIFIC USE.

OKAY. WITHIN THAT DISTRICT.

BUT ONE APPROACH TO YOUR LAST QUESTION FROM A LEGAL STANDPOINT WOULD BE TO MAKE IT ALMOST LIKE AN OVERLAY DISTRICT, WHICH IS A PLANNED UNIT, THE PD DISTRICT. WITH THE AI INDUSTRIAL BASE DISTRICT AS A REZONING.

I HAVE A QUESTION FOR THE APPLICANT.

WOULD YOU GO TO THE PODIUM SO WE CAN GET YOUR RESPONSE FOR THE RECORD? SO IT SOUNDS LIKE Y'ALL DID FEASIBILITY FOR APARTMENT UNITS, I PRESUME Y'ALL DID FEASIBILITY FOR THE RV AND BOAT STORAGE? YES, THAT IS CORRECT. OKAY.

BUT NO, I GUESS RENDERINGS OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT.

ANY KIND OF ROUGH SKETCHES OR ABOUT HOW MANY UNITS Y'ALL THINK IT WOULD BE OR.

WE CURRENTLY DO NOT HAVE ANY RENDERINGS OR ROUGH SKETCHES.

AND SO WITH THE FEASIBILITY STUDY, WE WERE WANTING TO REALLY IDENTIFY WHAT ELSE IS OUT THERE THAT IS CLOSE TO THE RV STORAGE, AS YOU COMMUNICATED EARLIER, AND THEN TO WHAT IT WOULD LOOK LIKE FOR US TO GET THINGS STARTED ON BUILDING.

AND SO WE ARE IN THE PROCESS OF SPEAKING WITH THE COMPANY THAT COMPLETED OUR FEASIBILITY STUDY TO HELP US IDENTIFY HOW MANY UNITS THAT WE WOULD BE ABLE TO

[00:15:08]

AND I THINK IT'S ALSO IMPORTANT TO UNDERSTAND THAT THE APARTMENT COMMUNITY IN FRONT OF THE LAND IS WE ARE THE OWNERSHIP OF THAT APARTMENT COMMUNITY. SO WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT IT'S WE DON'T BRING ANYTHING THAT'S GOING TO BE LOUD, THAT'S GOING TO BE CHAOTIC, THAT'S GOING TO HOUSE A LOT OF FUMES OR MECHANICAL ITEMS. AND SO AGAIN, THIS IS WHY WE FEEL THAT THE RV AND BOAT STORAGE WOULD BE THE BEST FIT.

BUT IT'S MOSTLY JUST BECAUSE I MEAN, THAT'S JUST MY PRESUMPTION, I GUESS THAT BEFORE Y'ALL INVEST ANY MORE FUNDS WITH THIS COMPANY GETTING SCHEMATICS AND THINGS LIKE THAT, YOU KIND OF WANT TO KNOW, KIND OF WANT TO FILL OUT WHERE THE CITY IS.

OKAY. ALL RIGHT.

ON WHAT I SAID IS THAT ANYTHING THAT YOU WOULD OBJECT TO IF YOU WERE TO PUMP THE BRAKES AND PRESENT TO THE COMMISSION A SITE LAYOUT OF THE RV, SHOWING THIS ACCESS ON HOW YOU WOULD ENTER FROM CEMETERY.

DO YOU GO IN BETWEEN THE TWO DRIVES, OR IS THIS GOING TO INTERFERE WITH THOSE TWO SITE LAYOUTS OF THE APARTMENT BUILDINGS? BECAUSE THAT TYPE OF DETAIL WE REALLY DO NEED TO SEE, AND THE MORE COMPLETE THIS IS BEFORE IT GETS TO COUNCIL, THE BETTER OFF YOU ARE.

ABSOLUTELY. SO WE CAN DEFINITELY, IF YOU'RE AT THE REQUEST, WOULD SAY, HEY, TABLE IT UNTIL WE CAN PRESENT SUCH A LAYOUT TO GIVE THEM MORE COMFORTABILITY IN THEIR RECOMMENDATION.

THAT'S JUST AN OPTION.

THAT WAS GOING TO BE MY QUESTION.

ARE YOU DOING THE LOT THE DRIVE IN BETWEEN THE TWO APARTMENTS.

YOU KNOW, SO WE DID REZONE THE BACK LAND AND THE DRIVE IN BETWEEN THE TWO APARTMENTS IS THE PROPERTY OF THE BACK LAND.

AND SO THAT COULD BE AN OPTION.

AND SO, WE ARE OPEN AND WILLING TO PROVIDE THAT LAYOUT AND THOSE RENDERINGS SO THAT YOU ALL HAVE A FULL IDEA OF WHAT IT WOULD LOOK LIKE, THE EXPECTATION OF ENTRY, EXIT AND ALL THOSE.

AND THEN WOULD YOU BE OPEN TO US CHANGING IT TO A PLAN? DISTRICT DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT WHAT THAT IS AN OVERLAY.

AND IT GIVES THE COUNCIL AND COMMISSION THE ABILITY TO PUT LIMITATIONS ON THE USE AND THE INTENSITY, AND THEN THE SITE PLAN RECOMMENDATIONS THAT ARE IN THE REPORT. THAT COULD ABSOLUTELY BE AN OPTION.

I WOULD LIKE TO HAVE A FURTHER DISCUSSION WITH THE OWNERSHIP GROUP TO SEE IF THERE WOULD BE ANY QUESTIONS OR CONCERNS OR ANY FEEDBACK THAT THEY WOULD LIKE TO PROVIDE, BUT I THINK THAT WE CAN TAKE THAT INTO CONSIDERATION AND DISCUSS.

ONE QUESTION I'VE GOT IS I'VE SEEN RV BOAT STORAGE ALL THE WAY FROM JUST A FENCED IN LOT TO SOMETHING THAT'S GOT, YOU KNOW, PARTIALLY FRAMED BUILDINGS TO SOMETHING WITH ACTUAL FRAME BUILDINGS IN THERE.

WHERE ARE YOU GUYS PLANNING TO GO WITH THIS? BECAUSE IF IT'S JUST A LOT AT THAT POINT IT.

COULD BE REAL EASY FOR YOU TO PIVOT TO ANOTHER USE A FEW YEARS DOWN THE LINE WHEN THE ECONOMIC CONDITIONS CHANGED.

AND SO THAT THAT DEFINITELY CREATES MORE CONCERN ABOUT THESE OTHER LIGHT INDUSTRIAL USES.

SURE. ABSOLUTELY. AND SO THAT IS SOMETHING THAT OUR FEASIBILITY STUDY IS HELPING US TO IDENTIFY.

HOWEVER, OUR INITIAL THOUGHT PROCESS IS TO HAVE THOSE FRAME BUILDINGS.

AND SO UNDERSTANDING WHAT AGAIN, WHAT THAT WOULD LOOK LIKE AND HOW MANY, YOU KNOW, OPTIONS THAT WE WOULD BE ABLE TO PLACE ON, ON THE SITE.

IDEALLY, WE DO WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT IT IS PRESENTABLE.

WE DON'T WANT IT TO LOOK LIKE A GRAVEL ROAD WITH JUST GRAVEL.

AND YOU KNOW, WE'RE PARKING IN DIFFERENT, DIFFERENT AREAS.

SO WE WANT TO HAVE THAT PRESENCE.

AND THE COMFORTABILITY, COMFORTABILITY OF ANYONE THAT IS GOING TO PARK AND STORE THEIR BOATS OR RV STORAGE IS THAT IT IS A NICE AND AFFORDABLE, A PLACE THAT THEY CAN COME.

AND LET ME POINT OUT, THE REQUEST WAS NOT TO DO AN RV PARK.

THERE'S A DIFFERENCE IN THE TWO.

AND THAT WAS WHY WE BASICALLY SAID IT WAS NOT FOR DWELLING PURPOSES.

AND THAT WAS THAT WOULD BE ONE OF THE CONDITIONS THAT WE WOULD TIE DOWN.

ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? I THINK IT'S MORE OF A COUNCIL ISSUE, BUT I'M FAMILIAR WITH THE PROPERTY ADJACENT, WHICH IS GOING TO BE A PARK, AND THEY HAVE A WATER CONCERN.

I THINK WATER IS GOING TO HAVE TO COME FROM, FROM WHEN I OWNED THAT PROPERTY BEFORE, AND I KNOW THE WATER WAS GOING TO COME FROM RIGHT THROUGH THAT PIECE OF LAND.

SO I THINK THAT MIGHT BE SOMETHING THAT CITY COUNCIL WOULD PROBABLY HAVE TO CONSIDER.

BUT IT MIGHT BE A THING THAT WE HAVE TO WORK WITH EASEMENT OR SOMETHING TO, TO GET TO THE WATER ACCESS ON THE, ON THAT SIDE.

USABILITY STUDY. THEY ARE HELPING US TO IDENTIFY WHAT IT WOULD LOOK LIKE TO GET EVERYTHING ACCESSIBLE FOR ELECTRICITY AND PLUMBING AND ALL OF THOSE FINE DETAILS. ALL RIGHT.

ANYONE WANT TO MAKE A MOTION?

[00:20:15]

YOU CAN HAVE THAT DONE PRIOR TO CITY COUNCIL.

CONSIDERING CONSIDERATION.

WE HAVE ADVERTISED THE PUBLIC HEARING OF A PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT.

WE HAVE ADVERTISED IT ALREADY TO GO TO COUNCIL NEXT WEEK.

IT'S A PUBLIC HEARING THAT, OF COURSE, COULD GET DELAYED, AND WE COULD RE-ADVERTISE AT THE EXPENSE OF THE APPLICANT.

WE CAN DO THAT IF YOU'RE NOT COMFORTABLE, YOU KNOW, VOTING FOR OR AGAINST IT.

IF YOU NEED MORE INFORMATION, THAT'S A VALID REASON TO TABLE.

I LIKE THE IDEA OF JUST OF JUST MAKING IT PART OF A PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT OVERLAY, I THINK, IS THE WAY YOU PHRASED IT, JUST SO THAT WE CAN BE RESTRICTIVE IN THE FUTURE ON THE USE OF THE PROPERTY THAT MAY NOT BE COMPATIBLE WITH THE NEIGHBORS.

BUT YEAH, I AGREE, I LIKE THE IDEA OF IT BEING USED AND ON THE TAX ROLLS.

YEAH. BUT I DON'T WANT TO, AND I MEAN, I DO THINK THE APPLICANT HAS A VESTED INTEREST IN NOT ANNOYING NEIGHBORS BECAUSE THEY ARE SOME OF THE NEIGHBORS.

BUT YES, I WOULD FRAME IT AS SUCH AS A RECOMMENDATION OF APPROVAL OF THE PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT WITH THE LIGHT INDUSTRIAL BASE DISTRICT, WITH THE NOTICE STAFF, CONDITIONS OF A REQUIRED SITE PLAN APPROVAL THROUGH THE PLANNING COMMISSION.

AND WE'RE RECORDING THIS.

AND THEN IF WE GET A PUSHBACK FROM LEGAL SAYING, HEY, YOU KNOW, SHE PREFERRED US TO TAKE A STEP BACK AND READVERTISE IT AS A PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT. THE WAY I'VE DESCRIBED IT.

BUT I THINK YOU HAVE THE ABILITY TO MODIFY A REQUEST.

AS LONG AS YOU'RE NOT MAKING IT MORE INTENSE, YOU'RE BASICALLY MAKING IT MORE COMPLETE AS A RECOMMENDATION, BUT I WOULD PROCEED WITH THAT IF YOU FEEL COMFORTABLE, AND THEN WE WOULD VET EVERYTHING LEGALLY BEFORE IT PROCEEDS TOO FAR THROUGH THE PROCESS.

DOES ANYBODY WANT TO MAKE THAT MOTION? SO THEN I MOVE TO APPROVE THE REZONING PETITION.

BASED ON THE FINDINGS AND THE ANALYSIS, THE LISTED CONDITIONS, THE USE PERMIT THAT THE REZONING, THE REZONING WITH THE USE OVERLAY THAT OTIS JUST DESCRIBED AND SUBJECT TO LEGALS COMMENTS AND RECOMMEND WE FORWARD THAT A CONDITION OF APPROVAL TO CITY COUNCIL FOR FINAL CONSIDERATION.

SECOND. OKAY. I HAVE A RECOMMENDATION BY MISS TOWNSEND AND A SECOND BY MISS BERRY.

IS THERE ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION? IF NOT, ALL THOSE IN FAVOR INDICATE SO BY SAYING I, I OPPOSED SAME SIGN.

MOTION CARRIES. SO, MISS CARTER, WE LIKE WHAT YOU'RE WHAT YOU'RE PURSUING, BUT WE'RE WORRIED ABOUT, YOU KNOW, THE FUTURE OWNERS 40, 50, 60, 80 YEARS FROM NOW. SO JUST UNDERSTAND THAT OUR DELIBERATION IS NOT BASED ON WHAT YOU'RE PROPOSING.

IT'S JUST BASED ON OUR CONCERN FOR WHAT COULD COME IN THE FUTURE.

MR. CHAIR, IF YOU WOULD JUST ROLL TO THE NEXT TO THE VERY LAST PAGE ON YOUR AGENDA.

I JUST WANT YOU GUYS TO GLANCE AT YOUR CALENDAR FOR THE FOR NEXT YEAR AND MAKE SURE YOU'RE GOOD.

THE ONLY THING THAT WAS CLOSE, I THINK, WAS THE JULY 4TH HOLIDAY.

JULY 3RD IS YOUR MEETING DATE.

JUST WANTED TO MAKE YOU AWARE OF THAT.

BUT IF YOU'RE GOOD WITH THE WHOLE CALENDAR YEAR, DON'T SEE ANY CONFLICTS.

IT DIDN'T CONFLICT WITH ANY HOLIDAYS ON THE CITY SIDE.

IT'S THE VERY LAST PAGE ON YOUR YEAH, BUT IF EVERYBODY'S GOOD, WE'LL POST IT AS YOUR FUTURE 2025 AGENDA.

CALENDAR. OKAY.

ALL RIGHT. WE'RE GOOD. NO ACTION NEEDED ON THAT.

WITH THAT, WE'RE ADJOURNED.

THANK YOU. THANK.
