But as a courtesy as they've come courtesy, we'll go ahead and open public hearing and then uh like to just remind you to try and keep it under three three minutes. Yes, sir. If you would like to come in and take come to the podium and and uh give us your name.

My name is Billy Jack Black and I know exactly where y'all are trying to change farmland to commercial. It's right next to my house, but I've lived there for 45 years. This gentleman here is also there, and that's why we came here to explain to you what's going on. I already know what's going on. My next police officer, I work with the DEA and FBI, the whole nine yards. And we just want to make sure that you guys understand where we come from. We have 5 to seven acres of land there with horses, animals, beautiful land, pine trees, 200 pine trees around our home and we've been there uh living for a long time and we know exactly where it was. It used to be a field. I don't know how many acreage exactly, but it used to be a field with a lot of oats and different farmers farming on. Now, it's been abandoned for the last couple years. And if something goes wrong and you all go to commercial, then we're done. Our homes are done. And there's approximately four homes on that stretch right there. And it's not our fault that the land is abandoned. And I we know who bought it. And basically there's an irrigation ditch that goes on the side of the road. It's a dirt road. There's no name on the dirt road. It's still back back in the wild is still farm country. And I know there's a lot of places that farms are turning into commercial right now. Especially at close to Horizon North Loop. All those pecan farms are gone. It's going into warehouses. But the bad thing about it, our homes,

if it is turned into commercial, we know there's going to be over a 100 homes built on that land, then we're out. We're out. We're out of our home because it's going to be really bad. And it's not my fault that somebody from Mexico, I believe, bought it. And it's going to tear us apart. is going to tear apart all of the neighbors there in the area. And then what's going to happen to our irrigation ditch? That's another problem. We have water coming off of the the canal going straight into our homes into our pastures. There's Kenny Carroll, Billy Black, this gentleman right here. Couple of other there's an old man over there that lives. He's about 90 years old. He's going to be, you know, right in the middle of it also. And that's what we're worried about and that's why we're here. And I know y'all want to make money and I know y'all want to add taxes and y'all want to add a lot of housing. I also built all the warehouses in Clint Cutoff and I know where that's going too. Sakoro has to put their foot down. They have to stop this. It's continue on and pretty soon that whole street on North Loop is going to be wiped out with traffic. There's already wrecks. There's already farm animals getting ran over on North Loop. There's horses getting ran over. It's an area that's about to decease if somebody don't put a stop to it. The other thing is when I moved in here about 45 years ago, the only people that was on North Loop at that area was farmers. And all you would used to see is farm tractors, farm equipment, ranchers going up and down that highway. You ought to see it now. And I don't know, has anybody seen that north loop now? It's terrible. And it's getting worse and worse. It's

terrible. How do you put in a commercial area on streets like that? Yeah, try widening the streets, but you're going to have to knock out everybody's pieces of land because their land is right next to North Loop. How are you going to put highways, fourlane highways on that street? I need for y'all to think about all this because it's not good. And it's not good for us. And you're going to force all of us to move out. And it is a lot of turmoil, a lot of hard work, and a lot of a lot of depression and everything else. It's bad. at between the hours of 7 and 8:30, you can't even get out on North Loop from where we live without almost getting killed. And now you're going to add now they want you to add more commercial. I don't I don't know how you're going to do it. I really don't. I mean, I do have an idea. You got to widen the highways. You're going to have to make four lane highways on that street. And S Coral hadn't done that yet. And I don't know why. There's there's been tremendous amount of accidents on that street. But the the bad thing about it, this is our home. This is this man's home. And we're talking about the elderly people that's on that dirt road that goes into 11566 North Loop. And that's why we're here. We want to tell y'all, please, I know maybe there's more tax money for Sakoro if everybody moves over there. It's all money.

Okay? And I'm sorry this is happening and we're totally just our hearts are totally dropped. And if this happens, this is what's going to happen. We're all going to be forced to move out. And there's a lot of old people there. How do you move old people out of those areas? I'm 77 years old. The gentleman that that's before me, he's 91. Where are they going to live? They can't go out on North Loop anymore. If they do, y'all have to have fourlane highways and you're not about to do that. I guarantee you that because it's so busy right now when school starts, you can't even get on North Loop hardly. So, I don't know what y'all going to do about the highways. I really don't. But regardless, we don't want this to happen. You know, it it's farm area. Mr. Adams was next to us over there on the 11560 area. He was 92 years old. He sold his land, 100 acres and there's over a 100 homes now on his cotton field. Okay?

So, it's not good and I'm probably outnumbered and I just want to come speak my peace and let you people know if you have a heart, you're going to try to keep this thing going for us. If you don't, I don't know what else to tell you. You know, we're we're in bad shape. And this man right here, he's going to be in bad shape, too, along with about three other individuals which are older people. Kenny Carol's live in that area. Uh okay, sir. We're We'll uh you can wrap it up for us, please. Okay. I'll wrap it up real quick. I'm I'm done. So, I hope y'all get a hold of everybody that you need to get a hold of. Thank you very much.

Thank you, sir. Thank you. Is there anybody else? Is there anyone else that would like to speak on item number five? And you guys are welcome to come back in in two weeks. I think it'll be reposted in two weeks. You guys can go ahead and come back and sign up to talk again. Yes, sir. So, you guys are more than welcome to. Okay. Yes, sir. Okay. So this what was since it was public comment, we'll go ahead and close public comment at 5:45. And then move to delete item six. Okay. So moved. Go ahead.

So moved. Move to delete item number six. Yes. So I make a motion to delete items five and six. Postpone for two weeks from today. We're just deleting six. No. No. We just delete. We have to Oh, delete them. Okay. So I made the motion I just made the motion to move to delete item six. I'll second. Do I have a second? I'll second. I have a motion made by Isidro Torres to delete item six, second by Andrew Royos. All those in favor of the motion. I I

Considering take action on the proposed amendment to the city of Soooro's master plan and resoning of lot 6, block 3, Monte Rosales subdivision located at 10479 Monte Videl Street, Sakoro, Texas from R1 single family residential to C1 like commercial to allow for commercial development. Mrs. Thank you. Uh good evening chairman, commissioners with the uh city of Sakoro uh planner. Uh we will continue with the next item which is um 104 79 Monte Vido uh resoning request. The legal description is lot 6 block 3 Montto Rosales subdivision. Uh the property address is 10479 Monte Videl Street. The property owner uh Dora A. Flores. Uh representative is David Edold here present with Devcon Associates. Uh the lot size is 13,142 square ft and the zoning is R1 single family residential. The current land use is residential. Uh the summary of the request is for approval of a property uh reszone from R1 to uh C C1 like commercial

uh to allow for a commercial development. Uh recommendation is uh approval for the reszoning request. Here we have the uh zoning map. Uh outlined is the outlined in red is the property. Um it is uh currently in R1 zone um which is highlighted in uh yellow. Uh it is surrounded uh with C2 uh which is red and uh the orange is R3. This is the future land use map. Um, showing uh the yellow as a uh neighborhood uh residential and the red is uh neighborhood commercial. Here's the aerial image uh showing the property outlined in red. Uh it is located at the intersection of Monte Videl and Horizon Boulevard uh just before reaching Alamea Avenue. Here are the site pictures. Uh the pictures were taken the pictures were taken uh from Monte Vido Street at the front of the property. Here's the uh public notice map u showing uh the radius of 200 ft uh where

uh the surrounding properties were uh noticed. And here's the public notice letter. Here is the concept uh plan uh for the uh lot uh showing the uh proposed uh building and the elevations and floor plan. Summary of the request is uh request is for reszoning approval of a property from R1 single family residential to C1 like commercial to allow for a commercial development. And at this time uh staff and the applicant uh representative Mr. Zel is available for any questions.

Mr. No, I was going to say I don't have any questions. I think it's right next to Horizon Boulevard. That's I think that's okay. But any uh so why why I just have a question. Why does staff recommend approval?

Because they're following all the guidelines and and again I disagree, right? I think it's in the residential area and it does not have any frontage to horizon. I think at that point we open a can of worms do on the other end where the plumbing store has frontage to horizon. So why does staff recommend approval? At the time, the uh applicant uh provided the necessary uh documents um and there was no u ordinance uh preventing them or telling us to deny other we're we're confusing items. So, you want to go back to the uh photographs? Maybe the slide with the map and aerial

this. Uh no up one more to the aerial. So what 100% yes very uh subjective they do not front to horizon horizon. There is a rock wall separating the existing shopping center and the existing property uh that is being that is requesting the zoning change. they they are they don't so yes to your response no they're not fronting Horizon but the access is there to provide visibility to that property

um and it is close to Horizon that it can provide a benefit as a commercial lot

correct my my concern at this point is we're opening up for any residential lot to come and try to convert to commercial when they have no frontage to a specific uh uh street, right? Uh and adjacent to both properties on the site, the plumbing store has frontage to Horizon. Um and then the the shopping center has frontage to Horizon as well when everything else is zoned residential rather than this one. You actually have to go into a residential street to access that commercial property rather than being able to access it from Horizon is where I see the issue. That's why I asked why the recommendation to approve and then I think it just opens up the can of worms where anybody let's say even the ones out here um north of the shopping center they have frontage to horizon they're residential they'll say hey I'll just open a door in my backyard and convert this section commercial because this neighbor now got access to commercial and then I think we just open up that can of worms at that point. Anybody else?

What's What's the uh the the width for Monte Vido? What's the width on on Monte Vido?

32 feet. 32. We can look. Um do you have any comments, Mr. Edel? If you if you could step up to m

Good afternoon. I'm David representing Mrs. Dora Flores who's owned this property for many many years. Uh the house was built in 1975 long before Horizon Boulevard became the Boulevard that you all know today. And the problem she's had is that over the years after she raised her family, her children, and they moved to another home, the rental of this property has deteriorated. And it's deteriorated, she believes, and I think it's a good point because of its proximity to Horizon, the noise, the traffic, and also it it sits right next to it's tucked up back behind this commercial shopping center. So, you've got the the activity at the commercial center that affects the property. We're we agree with the staff comments. We think it is appropriate to zone it to C1, not we're not asking for C2, asking for C1. And we've submitted a site plan that shows that there will be a uh retaining wall u screening wall built between this property and all the adjoining residential properties. We also are going to respect the setbacks that are required within the residential zone. uh not those that are in the commercial zone. That's one of the requirements of us. Um the um the driveway to the property at the corner across the street from this does not come from Horizon. It comes from Monte Vido. So actually that commercial lot doesn't have access to to Horizon. it. You have to get on to Monte Vido to get into this uh adjoining property. Um our belief is that with a creative approach to this uh the adjoining property owner, Mr. Visca, might be interested in adding to his commercial

center and that would just clean up the whole area. He right now has a ponding area at a very auspicious corner of his property that could be relocated to another location on Mrs. Fletus' property and that would turn the whole property that wraps around that corner into a nice commercial development. He's got a very successful u retail center there. I appreciate what he's got, but he's also very congested. He's got a very popular restaurant there. Um that uh if you go there during dinner or lunch especially, it's overflowing everywhere. Um I believe that the staff is on the right track with this. We're not asking for anything too strenuous and you it's really up to you all to determine down the road whether you would allow any other properties to follow in this same suit. I think this is a pretty unique situation because of its location.

Did Did you have any other questions? Um yeah, a couple. Um so the the frontage I'm looking I'm thinking accessibility from Monte Vo. So I'm wondering I I Miss Kito said 32 feet 60. Sorry I looked up the subdivision plat. It's 60 it's a 60 foot Monte Vido is 60 foot wide correct 80. Okay. The lot is is approximately 84t wide. The lot is the lot is the question the yeah the width for Monte the street the width of the street. the width of the street.

Um, are there any other commercial lots within this neighborhood? Within the the sub within the subdivision? Yeah. No, sir. They're not. It It was created before Mr. Richardson developed the lot next to it, which I helped sell to Mr. Visca back in the early 2000s. Okay. Um, and what's the existing structure there right now? It's a deteriorating um apartment building and a uh manufactured house.

How long How long has it been vacant? I don't know that. She has had a very hard time keeping it rented. That's one of her problems is keeping up with the taxes. The rent hasn't been there. Um, Mr. Flores really needs to to sell this property and it it certainly doesn't play the right tune for a residential use in in my book. Okay. Um the lots 13,000 approximately the lot size. How do you handle parking, landscaping? I don't think there's a landscaping ordinance right now in effect. Is there

correct? We we've submitted a a conceptual plan which the planning commission I mean planning department uh reviewed and you'll see it right there. This could be adjusted according to your standards. But this shows adequate uh handicap parking as well as customer parking that meets your code. And there's also room in the back in the rear yard where ponding area could be developed for on-site storm water ponding. And you can actually see, if you could use your imagination, the little triangle over on Mr. Viscato's property um is where his ponding area is. And you can see how that could immediately be combined with a the triangle on our property which wouldn't affect the the parking and you could have, you know, a nice pad site for a Starbucks or, you know, something like that there. Okay. So any I'm good for now. Any Mr. Torres?

I have questions following that in our backup that the Montto Rosales subdivision has two C1 lots. One of the C1 lots is pretty far into the neighborhood on Monte V. So my concern is we've already set president where there's a C1 lot in the middle of the subdivision. Can you can can you pull that picture up onto the onto the screen? We're looking we're looking at this one. And then my second question is the C1 lot across from this proposed one. It has frontage to Horizon, but is the entrance to from Horizon from Montdale?

But it the access is off of Monte Vido. The driveway is off of Monte Vale. Yes, sir. So there's already a lot in Monte Rosales subdivision. Well, there's two that are getting access from Mont already. What is in that? Oh, I see your point that it's one of the lots that was platted in the Monteo subdivision. Yeah. That have access to that their access is so to deny this request. Yeah. What is that other commercial property? Do we know is it a vacant lot? Do we know? We can take a look. Maybe we'd bring it up. I think it's a lake lot.

And this is an older neighborhood, so it could be something that is legal non-conforming, but it from the aerial it looks like a a home. Uh are you speaking of that commercial lot there? Uh farther down. No, further down. Oh, further down. So, if you go to the subdivision map page, it's not up on the screen. Sorry. It is in the backup but nonetheless this what this subdivision this C1 lot that is in this subdivision no it's farther up on it does it axis is only month and is it really C1 or is that a type of word mistake or and agree right there's no reason to deny it but if it's a mistake then

if I I see what you're talking about it's it's this map that you all have called the subdivision lot way up mido from from horizon. And so following up, if it is a C1 lot that's tucked in back there, I'm curious to know if there's an existing business license in effect and if they're actually running a a business out of that lot. I'm pulling it up as 10406 Monte what I'm getting, but it's a house. 10406 Monte Vido. Yes. From the Google Street view, it looks like a home. There's no signs posted or And in front of this proposed PL, this one still remains. In front of this proposed plaque, that's a C1. What is in that one? What's on what's the business in front of us?

The the corner across the street from us. It's a it's an actual It's actually a new metal building uh used as a I think it's a plumbing or hardware store. It's a plumbing for for mobile home hardware store. Yeah, it's a it's a store. It's a hardware store, right? Hardware. And the access not the only access to that is Monte V. No, that one has frontage to Horizon, but the but they don't have a entrance is on Monte Vo. I'm just looking at the street view and it is from Monte Vo.

Okay. I understand you all's concern about what we call encroachment in into the neighborhood into that subdivision. Um, again, from my background serving on the planning commission in El Paso, seeing hundreds of cases, it it really falls on your shoulders to determine where the line gets drawn. I'm just asking you to see that this property is not working the way it's zoned currently and that drawing the C1 line along that back line of ours is something that you all can hold to and we would appreciate your consideration of of the staff approval.

Mr. Cario, any questions? No, no, I don't see uh I mean it is it is uh the entrance will be on Monte Vo, but I would like to see it like the gentleman said, you know, kind of a combination of the two strips coming together. I would love to see Mr. Biscata.

I mean, he does uh uh I go cut my hair there at Maravia and the parking lots are very small entrances. Even if the entrance is on horizon, it's one car entrance. Maybe it could be widened at that corner, make it more accessible for you and him. So that's my take on it. Any other questions? So my I guess like I'm looking at at this right here, right? We received this today an email and so this addresses landscaping that's going to be coming up and and ponding and so on, right, for commercial. And so I'm looking at the size of this particular lot. And so I'm curious to see how permitting would handle the the parking and the and and ponding and would there be like like you mentioned non-conforming or would it be would there be variances for that or or for this type of logs? It's very small. The lot's very small. So, you got to meet all those standards. Of course, I haven't gone through this, but I would think that it's extensive. And so, landscaping and ponding is in there. And so, how do you fit all that on there on on a on a small lot

when it's within a C1? Would you like to answer or I I have an idea for you. Um, zoning it conditional upon the owner submitting a site plan for review before a building permit is issued is probably the best insurance you could have because you'll get to see it again before building permit is issued. You'll get to see where everything is located, the size of the of the screening walls, where the landscaping is, where the ponding areas are, and that's before the building permit is issued. So you'd get one more shot at it before anything gets constructed on the site.

And that's what we call or I've called over the years conditional zoning subject to some other event taking place. If if it would be a conditional permit, it would come back through zoning. If it if a conditional permit is required, if a conditional use permit is required is required. But my take on it is you don't have to fill up the whole lot. There are small kiosk businesses throughout the commercial sphere uh even around us that could occupy a small lot. Don't need a lot of parking. Our strictly drive-thru. That shopping center was just one example of what could be placed there.

That's right. It's it's just a conceptual plan. It's not no one's planning on building that little rectangular box. It it just met the standards that you all require for the setbacks and the and the parking. Okay. So, that's why we showed it. I have no idea what Mrs. Floodis is going to do with it or what a future owner will do with it, but a way for you all to ensure that this meets your desires is to put a conditional zoning on it.

Right. So, we can we can vote and just put a condition that at the time that they pull the permit, they have to meet at that time whatever the landscaping ordinance is and storm shore or whatever, right? Yes, but that's something that everyone would need to do. Any additional conditions would be something um that would be beyond the in the minimum requirements. So, they would they would need to adhere to all of the standards of the new zoning code. I don't imagine this is going to get through the process and sold and permits right

submitted in in time to conform to the old one. So they would need to conform to the new one. Right. At this point, we're just letting the owner sell this as a C1 love and then future owners have to go through whatever process. Right. So I'd like to make a motion to approve. Second. I have a motion made by Andrew Royos to approve, second byro Torres. All those in favor of the motion? I. Any nays? I. Any abstain? Motion carried.

Thank you all for your consideration. I appreciate it. It was difficult. I know. I appreciate you.

So, we've the roadway cuz there's a there's a major drainage flow that's crossing I 10. Uh I know the county of El Paso uh and we've been coordinating with the county. They got some federal funding uh to build they call it SOC1 which is uh I think they call it Sakoro something ponding area like a huge ponding area that they're going to be uh hold 100% of the runoff. Uh that's why we needed to kind of finalize what is it that they were going to be doing to see how we're going to be able to connect that roadway. We've been coordinating with them. I think they're looking at going finalizing their design sometime this year and going to construction sometime next year in 27. Um it's probably going to be about an 18-month construction duration

for the pond. For the pond for the ponding. Yes. And I didn't catch who's they the county of El Paso. The county of El Paso. Okay. And that's how we put a big another pond upstream next to the red. safe that's in the county uh to capture any excess flow that comes from where the pond is at to whatever is naturally going there right now. Okay. Um my next question is so we're looking at the red outline, right? That's single family residential basically everything that's in the outlined in red. That's what we're looking at today as for the master plan. That's what we're voting on.

Correct. What Why not include the orange area which I believe is multif family and then the red which I believe is I believe that's already been reszoned. It's already been it's been we've moved over for with platting and all that. Correct. That area has already that area. Correct. Which is the red and the orange which is commercial land. Right. There's been some interest on that corner run right there right on Balman and uh and North Loop. Obviously it's a hard commercial. So there's uh been some a lot of interest on the commercial activity right now. A lot of interest I would think. So a lot of interest. Um who's responsible for lighting there? The developer.

Street lighting. Street lighting is is we got to comply with the city of Sakoto's requirements with they have a requirement of every 200 linear feet we got to put street lights. So the developer pays for the street lights is I'm not sure that's your question. Also, Text has a project that they designed probably two years ago if I'm not mistaken. That's my next question

about the traffic light uh on Balman and uh North Loop. Uh one of the things that we've already coordinated with Texot, they're moving forward with the the construction. They just have not given me a time frame. We the developers have to retrofit whatever Techtop puts in because they designed it as a as a T intersection and now we're going to come in with a full intersection. So, we got to retrofit at the the mast arm and retrofit the ped pedestal signals and all that stuff.

Okay. Um, last question that orange area which is for for multifamily, right? Uh do you foresee in the future uh there being a request to reszone for commercial for warehousing? No, actually there's already interest to build apartments in that one. Okay. Okay.

I'd like to make a motion to approve. I'll second. I have a motion made by Andrew A Royos to approve, second by Oval Doresa. All those in favor of the motion? I I

excuse me. Before we start, I'd like to say that I want to abstain from this um uh part of the agenda that I don't um don't work for that company, but I work for another company that they own. So, I'd like to abstain from that one.

Thank you, Mr. Royos. Thank you, Ya. Um, item number 13 will be the final plat request for Horizon Park unit 2 subdivision. Uh, Horizon Park unit 2 subdivision final plat request. The legal description is being tracked to uh 3B, 3B5 and 4 E1A, block 3, Soro Grant, Soooro, Texas. Uh property address is near Horizon Boulevard. Uh property owner is uh Bowling Brothers Development Company LLC. Uh representatives CA groupate. The lot size is 30.307 uh acres. Uh the zoning is 7 C2 uh general commercial and R2 medium density residential and the current land use is vacant. requests for approval of a final plat for the Horizon Park unit 2 subdivision. Uh staff recommends approval of the final plat request for Horizon Park unit 2 subdivision. Here we have the uh zoning map um with the subdivision outlined in yellow. Uh here's an aerial image uh with the subdivision outlined in yellow uh located in Horizon Boulevard. Here are the site pictures. And here is the final plat for Horizon Park unit 2. Uh total residential lots is 97

uh with one ponding lot uh one park uh and I believe it's 60 foot right away. How many commercial lots is it?

Uh two two commercial lots. So total being 102. Summary of the request is request for approval of a final flap for the Horizon Park unit 2 subdivision. And uh staff is available for any questions. Can Can you go to the aerial image, the one with the yellow outline? So, that little strip that's connecting to Horizon Boulevard, what what is that? What's that going to be? Or why why is it like that?

That's how the proc for the record. That's really how the property is. like it was I think to try to get some some access but we're not proposing access. It's for utility easement that we're going to be putting a sewer line there. So utility easement that you're going to use for sewer line for a sanitary sewer. Correct. Okay. All right. How wide is it? I want to say it's about 12 ft. 12 ft wide. 12 to 15 ft. Okay. So it's mainly like an ement.

Correct. Right. That's where we're going to be boring across Horizon Boulevard uh for the sanitary sewer because the sewer is on the other side of Horizon. Okay. Can you can you go to the final plat? So, connect connectivity to Horizon Boulevard is isn't going to be directly through this subdivision. You need to go through an existing subdivision.

You're going to go through Horizon Park unit one, which is the one to the west of this Why not? Why not give this subdivision direct access to Horizon Boulevard? Why on that portion at the top where we have the culde-sac? It is probably about over 100 foot drop. It's Say say that again. It's about a 100 foot drop. a 100 foot drop where that culde-ac is on. From there all the way to the bottom, it's going to be probably 80 to about 100 feet drop. Okay. So, just realistically, we just can't.

So, that's where it's going up horizon. When you go out there, you'll see the drop drop off quite a bit. You could shoot them through the 12t easement. Textile won't allow it because it's too close to the other street and 12 feet is too narrow. So, And so that existing neighborhood that you're connecting to has one access point to Horizon Boulevard. Has it or access point to Horizon Boulevard has access to Bert Road. Okay.

All right. This was part of the Horizon Park master plan that you all approved which included Horizon Park unit 2, Horizon Park unit one, Horizon Park unit 3, Horizon Park unit 4. And that master plan included this already. Yes, correct. Include this. Okay. And we don't we don't have that right now, right? The master plan. I not in the backup. No. Okay. Okay. I'm good. Thank you. Thank you. I'll make a motion to approve. Second a motion.

I have a motion made by Alvaldo Resa to approve. Second by Rafael Caro. All those in favor of the motion I. Any nays? Any abstain? abstain. Motion carried. Moving on to item number 14, planning and zoning commissioners report. commissioners. Um, I'm trying to remember something that we had talked about about two weeks ago, but doesn't come to Who are you talking that was here?

Yeah, I think we were going to go over something this this this meeting last week or what not, but I just can't remember. I'll remember when I leave. Never fails. I have nothing.

Okay. Thank you. Uh we'll move on to item 15. Okay. Thank you, commissioners. Um item 15, planning and zoning department report. Miss Kimo.

Thank you, Yadira. Good evening. Uh commissioners, the only item I had for today was to introduce the uh zoning chapter to you as one step in getting us towards approving the uh UDC. I also want to uh invite Victoria Chavez from Able City to give you a couple of the highlights of the chapter and items to look for as you begin to review the UDC. As I mentioned previously and in my email, if you want to schedule some time to meet to discuss any elements of the of the plan, if you'd like to highlight some of the sections for us to discuss in more depth at our next planning and zoning meeting before we uh introduce the item and then follow up two weeks after that with the recommendation, which you will then take to city council, Victoria. Yeah. Hello commissioners. My name is Victoria Chavez. I remember some of you, but just how Lorine was saying, I work with Able City and we've been working with Sakoto for since 2024 of updating and creating this unified development code. We're in the process of adoption now. And what we wanted to do, we see it's a lot. Um, I heard one of you guys earlier saying it's about 457 pages total. And so I was kind of hoping you guys already read it all and so we can go through it together today. I'm joking. But this is why we kind of wanted to break it up and already have some meetings uh going about starting today uh as a review and then go in on April 21st as our second review and then have a final adoption with uh PNZ May 19th and then uh city

council will start the intro on May 21st. In between that as well uh April 22nd we're going to have a stakeholder meeting. So, we're going to bring in some key stakeholders, especially developers, to review some of the zoning, make sure what we are producing is accurate, consistent, and really represents what uh we talked about a few months ago. So, just to get started, I kind of want to focus on the zoning chapter, especially because this is PNZ. I want to open it up to if there's any questions. Uh you can see if you have your pages in front of you around 2.2 2 and 2.3 kind of sets out uh the zoning districts establishments. There's a little bit of change. We introduced the open space and parks, so OSP as a zoning district as well as agriculture. Uh we uh also have the historic preservation overlay as HPOD. um we wanted to make sure it correlates with your comprehensive plan but also some of the notes that we have taken with talking to some stakeholders and reading through your existing code. Uh you can also see that we took out the RM1 and RM2 and kind of created some zoning districts where it's R2 which is medium density residential and then R2A which um is that urban residential. So I'll open up the floor if you guys have any questions on that. on the R2 and R2A. What's what's the major difference on that one?

Yeah. Um, so R2A is really about uh we wanted to create that medium density. So currently what your code has is it's the same thing as medium density district but there's no uh dis uh goes into more of uh how can I say this? It's just plain medium density and then it goes into RM1, RM2 and then commercial. Whereas we want to create uh a little bit more wiggle room to create some uh deficiency of these residentials. So R2A um R2, I'm sorry, is intended to provide a mix of single family and lowintensity multif family housing options like duplexes and town homes. Whereas R2A is that urban residential. It's designated to support the higher intensity. So we have more broader of multif family housing like triplexes, uh forplexes and small apartment buildings. uh the units per acreage is actually higher than what is allowed in R2 as well.

Thank you. Yeah, of course. Number number seven and eight, can you give us examples of regional and and general or not general but neighborhood commercial and regional commercial?

Of course. So if you go on to page uh 2.5, we kind of have like a quick uh purpose of these districts uh definition. So for neighborhood commercial, this is really to establish that moderate intensity commercial services. So and uh have some offices primarily to ser serve residential areas. This uh could be small residential as like a hair salon, nail salon, um small offices that could be for lawyers, uh barber shops, things like that. And then going into our regional commercial, that is for our higher density type. So probably uh our regional markets like lodging, hotels, larger offices, um any large shopping centers will go into this area as well. Um, where would warehousing be addressed

in a sense of for commercial districts or Yeah. What what zoning is it? Is it is it going to be under commercial and what what because right now it's under C1 and C2 I believe and ICM ICMUD. Yeah,

we still have ICMUD. Yes. Four warehouses. Correct. And then we also do have a general mixed use as well to kind of uh support what your comprehensive plan has right there. So they can uh identify a little bit more for your flexibility of land uses for housing and commercial. If you do want to go a little bit more into detail on the type of uses permitted well for the setbacks before we jump into that if you want to scroll down or go to pages uh let's go to 217 2.17 it kind of goes into more details of what is permitted and the type of uh special regulations and dimensional standards that would be in these zoning districts. So I just want to start in re and in re we have the it's still taking in consideration what your current code has. There's not a lot of changes here except for uh if there was discussion like this didn't really make sense uh to have I I'm just spitballing here for one of the uses it was 45 for the side the rear setback when it should have been 35. So we just uh updated those. But um on here you can also see we have the special regulations breaking down your collector streets and minor and major arterials. also talking into how the site development standards should be when it comes to infrastructure and roadway access, solid waste, um storm management, and any other acable uh standards that also reference other parts of the UDC either if that's in the development uh code of chapter 3 of the UDC like parking, landscaping, signage, and screening.

Well, it's a monster, man.

Yeah, it's a lot. So, what I wanted to do, especially for this UDC, is it's a lot to absorb. So, we try to add some pictures, imagery, and a table to try to simplify it a little bit so it's not just so much words and it gets lost and it gets um misconstrued. So, on page 2.19, you can kind of see an example. There you have the table of the breakdown of the lot requirements uh setback requirements bu uh building requirements and then even a little visual to represent okay this is what your front setback means and this is how you should be counting it and you'll see that throughout a majority of this of the districts uh excluding the overlays and um GMU Now, um I don't know if you guys want to go through each of these setbacks, see if you have any questions. We can focus specifically on residential right now. And um sorry yeah chess chapter 2 you can kind of start on page 26 if you want to just write it in the thing little box so you can kind of see it up there. It's all written down and it is two columns. And then this is another thing we want you to understand is we're drafting this UDC right here, but we're also going to be putting it into your MUN code as well. That's going to take a while for them to uh analyze and transcribe however they do that at Mini Code. But

you guys will at least have this UDC right here on hand when it gets adopted while um things are getting worked on behind the scenes. Okay. Um trying to get a grasp. Okay. So, we have an existing code right now that we've been using. It's morphed into what it is right now. This one will be replacing what we have right now.

Exactly. Is it merging or is this completely just a separate brand new document that's coming in or is it something like in the past we've seen like reds and blues in the in in the text of what's being removed or what's being rewarded? Is that whole chapter? So this is new whole chapters of the current will be deleted and this one's going to come in place. Exactly. There's some stuff in your code that wasn't addressed in this code because it just wasn't part of it. So, those will stay the same.

But, uh, looking at chapters like zoning, development, uh, design standards, uh, non-conforming, uh, subdivision, um, environmental, there there's at least, uh, 13 chapters total in this UDC. Quick question because I know that's a lot to look at or whatnot. Off the top of your head on the uh R1 or R2s on the setbacks, did those change? Like does I think the front is 20, sides are five, and back is 25 something like that. Did the side ones change?

Can double check right now. I have it pulled up. So, so R1 front setback was 25 side uh five if there's a straight 10 and rear 25. And if we go to Did you said the front was 25 or 20? 25. The front. Mhm. Cuz it remind me, correct me if I'm wrong. Is it It's 20 right now, right? It's 25. It's 25.

Okay. On the on the front or the rear? Both. I thought the front was 20. Fronts are 20, aren't they? On R1, correct? On an R1 or You're talking about the path, but they've always I'm looking right now in your code. It's minimum yard setbacks for front is 25 and for year rear is 25 as well. 25 for R2 is 20. R2 R2 is 24. R1 is 25.

Yes, correct. R2 20 and rear is 20. Is are are are is this addressing smaller lots for higher densities like smaller lot like you know the like subdivisions right now our minimum square foot lot is 5,000 square feet right like is there anything in here to where it's a you're allowing for smaller lot size like 3,000 square feet or 4,000 square feet? Um, not directly in the zoning code, but I would have to double check on our subdivision. I believe we do because that was a big conversation. It's like an R3. No, I think you're talking about an R3, David. R3.

Well, if we're talking about R3, that one arm or R2A, I mean, I'm sorry. Uh, the lot area minimum is 6,000 and the lot width is 50 minimum. So those are a little bit narrow and uh skinnier and they also do allow a little bit more higher resident um density because there there have been conversations amongst I guess developers saying higher density, more homes get more bang for the buck basically. But smaller lots, smaller homes, more affordable, but you need a smaller lot to be able to do it. Mhm. And so I'm wondering if that if that's in here like

and so like the whole subdivision, you know, 100 lots, but all that's just high density single family homes, single parcels, but smaller densities like like smaller lot sizes like 3,000 ft for example, 4,000. I think our three did that, but we don't have our three right now. I think we did away with that, right? But

so what I do have on the permitted table is talking about cottage style uh homes and courtyards. And those usually would need a uh or tiny homes need some type of uh conditional use permit or and those we can look into seeing what size of the lot it can be and we can add an extra just regulations. If you're putting in a tiny home, this is going to be the minimum lot size here. Um let me go down to that regulation actually. So at the kind of article 2.06 at the end if you go to page uh 58 in the box 2.59 on the page I'm just going to try to find homes. You can see we've broken it down from each zoning district and the type of uses and any um extra regulations there may be that goes to these. Um let me pull up. Okay, so tiny homes they may be permitted and then we have size requirements for these. As of right now I don't see anything that talks about the lot size but that could be something we can implement in here. The most it says is around uh tiny homes uh shall be permitted in a minimum floor area of 200 square feet and a maximum floor area of 400 square ft. But we can add the definition uh the uh regulation of the lot size and those can go.

Okay. Well, um I think this is impressive. a lot of work here. And so this is what is it I think you'd review as a department I think or like on Fridays or something, right? Yeah. And here we thought you were doing happy hour or something. A little bit of that, too. Right. Um Okay. It's good. It's good. Okay. So, we're we take this home, review it, highlight like you were saying,

and then it's going to be an ongoing discussion or or what? Let me go back. What's the timeline or what's the goal to get this into?

Ideally, we would like to have city council action by the first meeting in June. So, this gives us still a few um meetings and time in between meetings to review. you don't know, you have we've only printed this one section for you, but we did email you the whole draft. So, if uh we'll put together a a little more uh structured um presentation to evaluate the different parts to highlight items that are new to the UDC for these next two meetings. And then uh that would then mean that that follow the meeting after that would be the public hearing.

Okay. But at any point if you have questions, if you want to talk about any parts of this, we're more than welcome to sit down and have discussions with you. We can we can call you and we have availability to outside of outside of the planning and zoning commission. It might even be helpful if you uh shoot an email to express like a comment on there. So we when we do come for the meeting here, I can already have um examples or explanations that digs a little bit deeper into uh your comments or questions. Yeah, because this is still a draft. There's still opportunities to make changes and additions. Good.

Yeah, it is open for public review online as well on the sodouvc.org uh page. So, uh, we've been telling people to check it out online and then, uh, the public is allowed to leave, a comment on the website as well, so we can always provide that.

Okay. So, and I I think I I asked a while ago sort of, but um, okay. So, the first gentleman that spoke today, he was talked a lot about the farmland and and everything that's going on on North Loop and so on, right? So I'm I'm interested in what is going to address warehousing. So can you without me having to read the whole thing just do I focus on the commercial units and the ICMU UDC ICD. Okay. So that those those paragraphs is what is going to govern warehousing basically.

Exactly. And then we have that permitted table that kind of breaks it down about where if it's permitted and then it goes into those special regulations that's broken down into commercial or ICMUD of uses that go into those. So let me see if I can find it because uh warehousing has been a big topic that we really wanted to make sure we included. Um, so there's self storage, mini warehousing, portable recycling facilities, detention centers, data centers. I had to look through it, but ICMUD would be the use that you have to go through,

okay, to see if it's permit. Okay. Tish, you mentioned that there's public's able to make comment on the website. What kind of campaign has been made to make the public aware of the new UDC? So, we do need to create a fire. Our plan was we were looking at a uh festival that's happening, not festival or fair happening kind of soon. Was there one you were telling me? No, that one just passed. Oh, okay. Yeah. But no, we will be on social media um sharing the website and encouraging folks to comment on it.

Thank you. And then also um advertising it with our key stakeholders as well so they have access to it and uh that meeting April 22nd, they'll provide some of those comments where we can create some edits as well.
