Planning and Zoning Meeting - Special Meeting

All right, it's six o'clock. We will go ahead and call this special meeting of the Shirts Planning and Zoning Commission to order. Tonight we are joined by Commissioner Grady, who is filling in for us. We are gonna open up the hearing of the residents. Anybody? No? All right, moving on. The consent agenda, the minutes from July 1st. Any comments, questions, motions?

Mr. Chairman, I make a motion we accept the consent agenda as submitted.

Second. That was a motion to approve the consent agenda by Commissioner Outlaw, second by Commissioner Hector. If there's no other comments, please vote. I have six. Can we publish that? That motion carries. Moving on on item 6A, PLZC 20260166, hold a public hearing and make a recommendation on a zone change request on approximately 0.26 acres of land from General Business District to Main Street Mixed Use, generally located approximately 50 feet southwest of the intersection of Main Street and Lindbergh Avenue, specifically known as Guadalupe County, property identification number 67454, City Shirts, Texas, Daisy.

Good evening, Commissioners, PLCC 2026-0166, a 0.26 acre zone change to MSMU, Daisy Marquez, Senior Planner. Here's the subject property up for discussion tonight. It's outlined in yellow, and it is west of the Melanie's property. Thank you. It's approximately 0.26 acres, and it is not platted. It's currently zoned General Business District and undeveloped. To the north, we have Main Street. To the south, we have the railroad owned by Union Pacific. And then again, to the east, we have Melanie's, which is already zoned MSMU. And to the west, we have GB, which is Automobile Repair and Service. We sent out 15 public notices. We have not received any responses, and we did pre-notice in the paper on July 15th a sign was placed on the property, and this is actually going to go to City Council August 5th. And then again, just showing you the dimensional requirements for general business district versus MSMU kind of, again, MSMU was intended for these main street properties to allow flexibility and just an overview of some of that flexibility that's allowed for them only a minimum two parking spaces or right away screening. And looking at our criteria for approval, the subject property is actually in the comprehensive land use plan as Main Street, again, residential, commercial, cultural, and it's also in the Main Street corridor area. Does the MSMU zone change implement the comprehensive land use plan? Any new development is required to meet the site design requirements and be compliant with the UDC. The applicant wishes to revitalize Main Street per their letter of intent. And with the TI summary provided by engineering, there's going to be no adverse impact to the city's transportation system with this. And then again, MSMU is intended for properties on main street. This property is located on main street in proximity to main street and within the main street comprehensive land use area. Again, we have city council just approved MSMU to the east of it. We already have commercial restaurant retail and personal services along main street and within this area. Our UDC requirements have been met for this proposed zone change and fire EMS and PD did not have any objections to this proposed zone change. Staff recommends approval of PLZC 20260166 due to the location of the subject property on Main Street. The compatibility with the proposed zoning district with our comprehensive land use plan as Main Street. And yeah, that's all I have for you.

All right, thank you, Daisy. Is the applicant here? No? Oh, okay. Well, it's a public hearing. So we'll go ahead and open it up. It is 6.05. Anybody? Actually, I apologize, correction, it's 6.04, where this clock's a minute ahead. Okay, well, it's still 6.04, we'll go ahead and close it. Commissioners, any questions? Mr. Outlaw.

What business is there now, Daisy? I'm just curious.

There's currently no business operating on site, but it's owned by the same people that own the automobile repair shop to the west.

Okay, so it sits between Melanie's and the tire shop.

Correct, sir.

Okay, and I have to ask, why the special meeting?

We want to push the zone change in the spirit of good customer service and get this to council as soon as possible, sir.

Yeah, that's, okay.

I guess that's the only answer I'm gonna get. Yeah, all right. Okay, that's all I have, Mr. Chairman.

Anybody else? No? There was another, there was nothing else listed as to why, or what they intend to do?

They just want to do a parking lot.

And they need, okay. And they need to change zoning for that?

Yes, because the MSMU zoning has less landscape screening requirements than GB, and if it had the GB zoning, it would require a 20-foot landscape buffer, a 50-foot building setback, and then the 5-foot landscape buffer is all around, so it squeezes the site, but MSMU allows more space.

Okay. All right. Well, if there's no other comments or questions, I'll take a motion.

All right, Mr. Chairman, I'll make a motion that we recommend approval of PLZC 2026-0166. Second.

That was a motion to recommend approval by Commissioner Outlaw, second by Commissioner Hector, to recommend approval of PLZC 2026-0166. I got lost there. If there's no other comments, please vote. I have six, can we publish that? That motion carries. All right, item 6A, are there any requests for items on future planning and zoning agendas? Or do we have a date on when the requested changes might come back? for the UDC?

The requested changes in relation to data centers, we're tentatively scheduling that for the August PNZ meeting. And signs, we ultimately want to do a potential joint session between PNZ and council, so that's coming in a couple of months. So you won't see signs just yet, but data centers should be in August.

Awesome, thank you. Any announcements? Commissioner, staff? All right, well, there is information on current projects in your packet available online, and it is 6.07. We are adjourned.
