WOULD YOU GO BACK TO THE ZOO PLAT? SO THERE.
[00:05:01]
WE HAVE ACCESS INTO THE APRS SERVICE CENTER BACK THERE.HAS AEP HAD ANY INPUT ON THIS OR WHAT'S THE.
MY ASSISTANT DIRECTOR COULD ANSWER ANY OTHER QUESTIONS.
SHOULD WE HAVE ABANDONED TRANSFORMER TRAIL? I GUESS WOULD BE MY FIRST QUESTION.
AND THEN IT SEEMS LIKE WE'RE CHANGING A ROUTE INTO A PROPERTY.
SO ADMINISTRATION'S BEEN WORKING DIRECTLY WITH AEP ON THIS ON THIS DRIVE.
AEP IS AWARE OF WHAT'S GOING ON HERE AND THEY DO APPROVE.
OKAY. SO YES, THE PROCESS HAS BEEN FOLLOWED.
SO WHAT ABOUT WOULDN'T WE NORMALLY ABANDON THE RIGHT OF WAY THE ROAD RIGHT OF WAY FIRST? OR IS THAT IS THAT A LOCAL STREET I GUESS TO BE THE FIRST QUESTION OR IS IT JUST TRULY A RIGHT OF WAY? THAT WAS JUST A PRIVATE DRIVE, RIGHT, ADAM? IT WAS A IT WAS DEDICATED AS A AS A LOCAL.
YEAH, I DO BELIEVE YOU MAY BE CORRECT.
IS THAT RIGHT, MR. RICE? UM, YEAH, I THINK WE DO NEED TO ABANDON THAT ONE.
OKAY, SO I THINK WE MISSED THAT ONE.
OKAY. ALL RIGHT, SO SHOULD WE APPROVE THE PLAT AT THIS TIME? HANG ON TO IT.
WE COULD DO THE PRELIMINARY FIRST AND THEN BRING THE FINAL PLAT BACK.
ANY MORE QUESTIONS ON ANY OF THE OTHER PLOTS FOR ADAM? THANK YOU. ADAM. THESE PLANTS CALL FOR A PUBLIC HEARING.
I'LL OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING. IS THERE ANYONE HERE LIKE TO SPEAK TO ANY OF THESE PLANTS? YES, SIR. HOW'S IT GOING? MY NAME IS EDDIE PEW AND I'D LIKE TO DISCUSS SOME ISSUES.
TIM LITTLEJOHN, YOU HAD SENT OUT AN EMAIL REGARDING 1302 AMARILLO STREET, AND YOU SENT IT TO YOU.
COURTESY COPIED ROBERT HANNA AS WELL AS MICHAEL RICE.
AND YOU STATED IN THERE THIS WAS ON FEBRUARY 16TH AND FEBRUARY 14TH.
AND THAT'S MORE THAN INDIVIDUAL SIX INDIVIDUALS BEING ON THERE.
AND THEN YOU ALSO SAID GROUP HOMES ARE ALLOWED BY THE RIGHT, MR. PUGH. YES. IS THIS IN RELATION TO THE SHIP, TO THE PLATS THAT ARE BEFORE US? NO, SIR. BUT THIS IS A PUBLIC HEARING.
SO. BUT IT'S ONLY FOR THE PLATS RIGHT NOW.
IT'S NOT. NO, IT'S NOT FOR THIS.
IT'S NOT FOR THAT. THAT'S NOT ON OUR AGENDA AS FAR AS I KNOW.
OKAY. I'D LIKE TO REQUEST FOR IT TO BE ON NEXT MONTH'S AGENDA.
AND I WANT TO CONTINUE AND FINISH WHAT I WAS SAYING.
IF YOU DON'T MIND, I'D APPRECIATE IT.
I WOULD LIKE YOU TO ADDRESS THE PLANTS THAT ARE OUT BEFORE US RIGHT NOW.
I HAVEN'T OPENED A I'VE ONLY OPENED A PUBLIC HEARING FOR THE PLANTS.
OKAY? IT'LL BE REAL QUICK AND I'M JUST GOING TO READ OVER IT.
YOU GUYS, YOU GUYS CAN LISTEN TO IT.
IF YOU WANT TO ANSWER, YOU CAN ANSWER.
SO WE ONLY RECOMMEND ON MATTERS OF ZONING.
YOU'LL NEED TO TAKE THAT CONDITION UP TO THE CITY COUNCIL.
OKAY. BUT IT'S A ZONING ISSUE.
AND THE CITY COUNCIL IS THE FINAL AUTHORITY ON ON ZONING, I UNDERSTAND.
THE HOME MUST NOT HAVE MORE THAN SIX PERSONS WITH DISABILITIES AND TWO SUPERVISORS RESIDING IN THE HOME AT THE SAME TIME, SO THEY CAN'T BE DEFINED AS A GROUP HOME, AND THEY CAN'T BE DEFINED AS A HALFWAY HOUSE BECAUSE THEY'RE NOT LICENSED BY THE STATE OF TEXAS.
AND ON TOP OF THAT, THEY'RE NOT LICENSED TO BE A FAITH BASED HOME, EITHER, BECAUSE THEY ALLOW MINORS IN THE HOME, AND TWO OF THEM WERE SEXUALLY RAPED AND THE DA DID NOT PROSECUTE THE CASES AND ABILENE CID SUPPRESSED IT.
THE CITY OF ABILENE. WHILE THIS BOARD IS ALLOWING CONDITIONAL USE PERMITS TO BE GRANTED TO INDIVIDUALS THAT AREN'T QUALIFIED TO BE IN THESE AREAS BASED ON STATE AND FEDERAL LAW. WOULD ANYONE LIKE TO ANSWER THAT? WOULD YOU LIKE TO ADDRESS YOUR EMAIL, SIR? I'M GOING TO HAVE TO REFER TO LEGAL IF WE'RE EVEN.
I MEAN, YOU CAN ONLY ADDRESS WHAT'S ON THE AGENDA.
[00:10:03]
PUGH IS FINISHED, WE CAN MOVE ON.OKAY. I'VE GOT A COUPLE OTHER THINGS HERE THAT I WANTED TO ADD AS WELL.
AND AS AS CHAIRMAN ROSENBAUM STATED, THIS PUBLIC HEARING IS REALLY ONLY FOR THE PLATS.
OKAY. AT THIS POINT, I WANTED MY VOICE TO BE HEARD.
SO JUST A COUPLE OTHER THINGS.
NOW, RAY SANDOVAL IS COMMITTING A CLASS A MISDEMEANOR EVERY DAY.
THAT HOME IS OPERATING TWO SEPARATE OFFENSES FOR EACH HOME, AND IT'S A CRIMINAL VIOLATION.
AND HE SHOULD BE CRIMINALLY PROSECUTED UNDER THAT LAW.
SO THOSE HOMES NEED TO BE SHUT DOWN BECAUSE IT'S STATE AND FEDERAL LAW.
SO THERE'S THAT. AND THEN, AS EVERYBODY KNOWS, A LOT OF YOU GUYS KNOW, I WAS ARRESTED AT RISE CHURCH FOR BEING ON AN EASEMENT, THAT I WENT TO THE ZONING AND PLANNING AND TALKED TO THEM GUYS ABOUT IT BEFORE THEY HIGHLIGHTED STUFF, TOLD ME WHERE THE EASEMENTS WERE.
WE WERE WITHIN OUR RIGHT TO BE ON THOSE EASEMENTS.
THEY ASKED US TO LEAVE. BUT AS PROTESTING LAWS IN THE STATE OF TEXAS ALLOW US TO BE ON THOSE, WE HAVE NO CITY ORDINANCES WHEN IT COMES TO PROTESTING. SO WOULD ANYONE LIKE TO SPEAK ON THAT? OR IS THAT GOING TO BE REFERRED TO LEGAL AS WELL? THAT'S NOT THE STUFF THAT'S BEFORE US.
OKAY. I JUST WANTED TO PUBLIC TO HEAR THIS AND BRING IT TO THE PUBLIC'S ATTENTION.
IT DOESN'T NECESSARILY HAVE TO BE ABOUT THE PLOTS.
AND WHAT I WOULD RECOMMEND IS THAT IF IF YOU DON'T WANT US TALKING ABOUT IT DURING YOUR AGENDA ITEMS, YOU MIGHT WANT TO DESIGNATE A PUBLIC COMMENT SECTION SO THAT WHEN WE HAVE ISSUES WITH PLANNING AND ZONING, WE CAN COME UP HERE, TAKE COMMENTS.
ARE YOU GOING TO TALK ABOUT ARE YOU GOING TO OPEN UP THE CONVERSATION FOR WHAT I WANT TO TALK ABOUT? BECAUSE IF NOT, THEN I WOULD LIKE TO KEEP TALKING.
I DON'T WANT YOU TO WASTE MY TIME, BUT THAT WOULD BE A RECOMMENDATION THAT I WOULD LIKE TO MAKE TO YOU GUYS IS TO PUT A PUBLIC COMMENT SECTION SO WE CAN COME UP HERE AND TALK TO YOU GUYS. SO WE'RE NOT HAVING TO WASTE PEOPLE'S TIME ON THE ON THE AGENDA ITEMS. I TOO HAVE AN ISSUE WITH THE TRANSITIONAL HOUSING WITHIN MY COMMUNITY OR WITHIN MY PARTICULAR NEIGHBORHOOD.
SO I'M KIND OF RIGHT ALONG THE SAME LINES AS EDDIE PEW IS, ARE YOU GUYS ACTUALLY GOING BACK AND DOING THE RESEARCH, WHETHER OR NOT THESE FOLKS ARE ALLOWED TO HAVE THE PERMITS THAT THEY'RE ALLOWED, AND IF THEY ARE, IF THEY DO HAVE THE PERMITS THAT THEY'RE SUPPOSED TO HAVE, ARE Y'ALL KIND OF REELING THEM IN WHENEVER THEY'RE, YOU KNOW, WHENEVER THEIR SERVICES ARE KIND OF SPILLING OVER INTO OUR NEIGHBORHOODS? UM, I'M ALL FOR PEOPLE WANTING TO CHANGE THEIR LIFE AND DO BETTER, SPECIFICALLY THROUGH A RELIGIOUS PROGRAM.
BUT I DON'T THINK THAT THAT'S THE WAY THAT JESUS WOULD DO IT.
DO YOU UNDERSTAND? WOULD YOU LIKE TO ANSWER THAT? OKAY, I'M GOING TO TELL YOU ONE MORE TIME.
DO NOT HARASS ME ON SOCIAL MEDIA OR IN PERSON.
BECAUSE I DON'T APPRECIATE IT.
AND IT'S VERY UNPROFESSIONAL FOR YOU TO BE SITTING.
I'M TALKING TO YOU, NOT THE ATTORNEY.
IT IS A HORRIBLE REPRESENTATION OF THE PLANNING AND ZONING BOARD TO INCLUDE THE CITY OF ABILENE.
[00:15:03]
HANG ON A SECOND. LET'S MAKE SURE WE'RE NOT GOING TO BE INTERRUPTED AGAIN.I'M GOING TO CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING.
OKAY, I WILL OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING AGAIN FOR THESE FIVE PLATS THAT ARE AT FIVE RIGHT AT.
FIVE, SIX FOR THESE SIX PLATS.
THAT'S UNDER DISCUSSION. WOULD ANYBODY LIKE TO COME UP AND ADDRESS THESE PLATS.
HI, MY NAME IS CARMEN PRICE AND I'M JUST SPECIFICALLY WANTING TO TRY AND UNDERSTAND THE SECOND PLAT 60 23, THE CAMPUS EDGE EDITION.
AND I KNOW THAT THE REPRESENTATIVE FROM JACOB AND MARTIN IS HERE, AND I UNDERSTAND THAT TOO.
SEPTEMBER OR AUGUST AND BUT HAVEN'T SEEN ANYTHING COME THROUGH.
AND SO ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT THE IS THE PLAT UP THERE? CAN SHE SEE THE PLAT THAT WE'RE SEEING? YES. SO ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT THE PIECE DOWN RIGHT THERE OFF OF THE WHERE CAMPUS COURT GOES STRAIGHT UP AND RIGHT.
YEAH. WE'VE BEEN TALKING ABOUT THAT BEING ABANDONED.
AND I JUST I WAS TALKING TO MR. LITTLEJOHN AND THE JACOB MARTIN REPRESENTATIVE, AND I KNOW I UNDERSTAND A LITTLE BIT, BUT I JUST WANTED TO HAVE IT ON RECORD, IT BEING EXPLAINED TO THE PUBLIC HOW IT WORKS. OKAY. I'M GOING TO EXPLAIN HOW I THINK IT WORKS.
OKAY. OKAY. AND THEN I WILL LET ONE OF THESE GUYS CORRECT ME IF I IF I HAVE IT IN ERROR.
OKAY. SO IT WAS WHAT, FOUR YEARS AGO WHEN WE FIRST STARTED THIS FIVE YEARS AGO.
TEN. WAS IT THAT LONG? WELL I'VE BEEN ON HERE TOO LONG.
SO? SO SO THAT LOWER PIECE, THE WIDER PIECE ON THE PLAT THERE, THE CITY OF THE WAY I UNDERSTAND IT, IS THAT THE CITY ABANDONED THAT PIECE BACK THEN.
BUT THEY DIDN'T. A BAND ABANDONED THE REST OF IT.
OKAY, ONCE THEY ABANDONED IT, THEN SOMEBODY CAN.
CAN TAKE IT OVER AND I THINK I'M USING THE WRONG WORD HERE.
THEY CAN TAKE IT. I THINK WHAT YOU'RE ASKING IS, WHY ISN'T THAT PIECE PLATTED INTO THE PROPERTY? OKAY, THEY DON'T HAVE TO PLAT IT INTO THE PROPERTY.
OKAY. AND I DON'T I'M NOT SURE.
I'M NOT SURE BANNING THEY CLOSED THAT PORTION OF.
WELL, MY UNDERSTANDING IS THAT THAT FAT PORTION IS STILL AT IS NOT ABANDONED.
WHAT WAS ABANDONED WAS THE MIDDLE PART, BECAUSE BACK THEN THEY HAD TO HAVE ACCESS TO FROM THE SOUTH AND ACCESS TO THE PROPERTY FROM THE NORTH, BUT THEY COULD NOT CONNECT, WHICH IS WHY THEY ABANDONED THE MIDDLE PART OF IT.
AND SO IN IN DEVELOPING ALL THIS, WE WERE UNDER THE IMPRESSION THAT THAT WHOLE THING WAS JUST GOING TO BE ABANDONED, AND BOTH SIDES OF THE PROPERTY OWNERS WERE GOING TO ABSORB THEIR, THEIR HALF OF IT IS THAT.
AND SO I'M JUST TRYING TO UNDERSTAND FOR THE PUBLIC.
THEY DON'T THEY DON'T HAVE TO.
OKAY. OKAY. SO SO ALL RIGHT MR. RICE, DO YOU WANT TO. YES, SIR.
EXCUSE ME. SO YOU ARE CORRECT THAT THE CITY COUNCIL HAS ABANDONED THE MIDDLE PORTION OF THIS ROAD.
SO WHICH ORDINANCE? JUST CLARIFY. CLARIFY WHICH IS THE MIDDLE PORTION.
SO IT'S NOT THE PORTION THAT ACTUALLY CONNECTS WITH WHAT IS THERE ROAD.
THE COUNCIL ABANDONED THE CERTAIN PORTION IN THE MIDDLE.
OKAY, SO WHAT WE HAVE TODAY IS THERE IS AN EXISTING 40 FOOT RIGHT OF WAY, AND WHEN THAT RIGHT OF WAY WAS ACTUALLY DEDICATED, IT WAS ACTUALLY A PART OF THE EXISTING APARTMENT COMPLEX THAT IS TO THE EAST.
IT IS NOT NECESSARILY 5050, SO TO SPEAK.
THAT WOULD BE THE CASE IF YOU HAD MULTIPLE OWNERS.
IN THIS CASE, ALL OF THAT WOULD GO BACK TO THE APARTMENT COMPLEX.
THEREFORE, THIS EXISTING PLAT CANNOT ABANDON THAT EXISTING 40 FOOT TO THE EAST BECAUSE THEY DO NOT.
[00:20:07]
THEY WERE NOT THE ORIGINAL DEDICATORS OF THAT 40FT.IT WILL GO BACK TO THE APARTMENT COMPLEX.
SO YOU HAVE A RIGHT OF WAY THAT'S INSUFFICIENT.
THEY COULDN'T BUILD A ROAD AND REALLY MEET THAT STANDARD.
WE WOULD HAVE TO WORK WITH THE APARTMENT COMPLEX TO ONCE AGAIN SEE IF WE CAN GET THAT RIGHT AWAY.
ABANDONED AT THIS POINT, IT WILL NOT FUNCTION AS A STREET.
IT'S NOT LARGE ENOUGH TO DO SO, BUT IT STILL PROVIDES A PUBLIC PURPOSE FOR UTILITIES.
OKAY, DOES THAT HELP? YEP, THAT COMPLICATES IT PRETTY GOOD.
THANK YOU. THANKS. WHAT CAN I ASK? ONE MORE. A DIFFERENT ON THE SECOND.
MR. HOLLAND WAS ADDRESSING ABOUT PROPERTY OWNERSHIP.
IS THAT HOW THAT WORKS? YEAH. THE TITLE OPINION IS JUST PROOF THAT THEY AREN'T PLOTTING SOMEBODY ELSE'S PROPERTY.
THEY'RE PLOTTING ONLY PROPERTY THAT THEY OWN.
THAT'S THE PURPOSE OF THE TITLE OPINION OR TITLE COMMITMENT LETTER.
THANK YOU ALL. OKAY. ANY QUESTIONS? NO. THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT.
THANK YOU. ANYONE ELSE? MY NAME IS CHRIS KOWATCH.
I OWN A HOUSE ON CAMPUS COURT.
HERE TO DISCUSS THE SAME PLATS.
THANKFULLY, THE DEVELOPER QUELLED MUCH OF MY CONCERN, HOWEVER.
STILL, OUR NEIGHBORHOOD WOULD FEEL VERY COMFORTABLE IF THERE WAS ANY KIND OF MEANS OF ENSURING THAT THE CITY PUT SOMETHING IN WRITING THAT THEY ARE ACTUALLY GOING TO, IN A TIMELY MANNER, CONTACT THE APARTMENT COMPLEX AND TO DO SOME SORT OF ORDINANCE WHERE THE CITY MANAGER EXECUTES A RELEASE OF ABANDONMENT.
BECAUSE MY UNDERSTANDING IS THAT SECTION WAS JUST CLOSED BY THE CITY COUNCIL, IT WASN'T TRULY LEGALLY ABANDONED, AND THAT BASICALLY THERE BE A DEEDING OVER AND A REPLAT AT SOME POINT.
I EMAILED MY COMMENTS EARLIER, SO I PROBABLY DON'T NEED TO GO THROUGH ALL OF THE REST OF THIS, BUT AT ANY ADDITIONAL ILLUMINATION THAT COULD BE PROVIDED BY TAL OR THE DEVELOPER, AND HOW POTENTIALLY THAT COULD BE INCORPORATED INTO, ENSURE THAT THE CITY ACTUALLY IS HELD TO ACCOUNT WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED.
GOOD AFTERNOON. I'M FILLING IN WITH JACOB AND MARTIN.
FIRST OFF, I'D LIKE TO SAY I APPRECIATE YOU GUYS AND Y'ALL'S SERVICE UP HERE.
I KNOW SOMETIMES IT'S A LOT TO CONSIDER, SO APPRECIATE THAT.
WITH REGARD TO CAMPUS EDGE PLAT.
SO. WITH OUR PLAT, WE CAN ONLY TAKE IN THE PROPERTY THAT WAS ONCE PART OF THIS ORIGINAL TRACT.
SO ONCE THE RIGHT OF WAY IS ABANDONED, TYPICALLY, AND I BELIEVE THIS IS THE CASE HERE AS WELL.
WE'VE WE'VE BEEN RESEARCHING THIS FOR A LITTLE WHILE.
IT'S IT'S SPLIT RIGHT DOWN THE MIDDLE.
YOU'VE GOT ONE PROPERTY THAT DEDICATES ONE SIDE.
IN THIS CASE IT WOULD BE THE APARTMENT COMPLEX.
AND YOU HAVE ANOTHER PROPERTY THAT DEDICATED THE OTHER HALF.
WHEN THE RIGHT OF WAY WAS ABANDONED BY THE CITY.
IT WOULD BE THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE ADJACENT PROPERTY OWNER TO REPLANT.
I SUPPOSE THE CITY COULD REPLANT, BUT THAT LAND WOULD SIT.
UNDEVELOPED JUST BECAUSE THE ADJACENT PROPERTIES ARE ALREADY DEVELOPED.
WE ARE GOING TO TURN THAT RIGHT OF WAY.
AND THIS KIND OF SPEAKS TO MICHAEL'S POINT ABOUT REMAINING AS A UTILITY.
I WOULD ADD TO THAT DRAINAGE EASEMENT.
WE ARE GOING TO IMPROVE THAT THAT REMAINING.
[00:25:05]
IT WILL ULTIMATELY TURN BACK WEST AND TIE INTO OUR OUR DETENTION POND IN THE NORTHWEST CORNER.UM. BECAUSE THE CITY HAS ABANDONED IT.
IT IS, AS LONG AS THERE'S NO EXPIRATION ON THAT ABANDONMENT.
I DON'T BELIEVE, NUMBER ONE, IT CAN EVER COME BACK TO BE A ROAD.
I THINK IT CAN BE USED FOR UTILITIES AND DRAINAGE.
THE ZONING ORDINANCE IS SPECIFIC THAT THERE CAN CANNOT BE ANY CONNECTIVITY.
THEN ONCE THIS PLAT IS APPROVED.
TO YOUR POINT, CLINT, I THINK YOU WERE THE ONE THAT MADE THIS POINT.
THE WIDTH OF THAT RIGHT AWAY IS NO LONGER WIDE WIDE ENOUGH.
IT DOESN'T MEET MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS.
SO THERE'S THREE THINGS IN PLACE THAT WOULD HAVE TO BE OVERCOME BEFORE A ROAD COULD EVER BE BUILT FROM BASICALLY AN EXTENSION OF CAMPUS FROM CAMPUS COURT TO STANFORD STREET.
ALL THOSE THINGS WOULD HAVE TO BE BE UNDONE.
THIS PLAT. THE ZONING ORDINANCE.
SO I THINK WE HAVE THE THINGS IN PLACE.
OBVIOUSLY, WE WOULD LOVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO TAKE THE REST OF THAT RIGHT AWAY INTO OUR DEVELOPMENT.
IT WOULD JUST GIVE US MORE PROPERTY, BUT WE LEGALLY CANNOT DO THAT.
SO THE NELSON PARK PLOT AND YOUR COMMENT ABOUT.
DO WE DO WE NEED TO ABANDON THAT RIGHT AWAY OR NOT? WELL, THAT.
WE'VE BEEN WORKING ON THIS FOR FOR QUITE SOME TIME.
ALL OF THIS IS IS TIED TOGETHER.
THAT IS AN EXISTING RIGHT OF WAY TO AP.
WE NEED TO PROVIDE CONTINUED ACCESS FOR AP.
WE NEED TO DO THAT BETWEEN NOW AND ALL THE WAY THROUGH CONSTRUCTION.
WE ARE ESSENTIALLY JUST REALIGNING.
IT'S ALSO TIED TO THE PARKS MASTER PLAN.
ALL OF THIS LAYOUT AND THEN THE ZONING CASE THAT WE'RE GOING TO TALK ABOUT HERE IN A LITTLE BIT.
MY HOPE IS THAT THE PLAT BOTH PRELIMINARY AND FINAL, CAN CONTINUE ON.
THE PLAT WILL SERVE AS THE ABANDONMENT AND REALIGNMENT OF TRANSFORMER TRAIL.
SO I WOULD ASK THAT WE APPROVE FINAL PLAT AND ALLOW IT TO MOVE FORWARD.
ANY QUESTIONS FOR ME? SO BACK ON THE CAMPUS COURT, YOU'RE COMFORTABLE THAT YOU'VE DONE EVERYTHING THAT YOU CAN DO FROM FROM THE PROPERTY OWNER'S PERSPECTIVE.
YES, SIR. WE'VE DONE EVERYTHING WE CAN DO.
IF I COULD DO MORE, I WOULD AGAIN.
WE WOULD PULL THAT RIGHT OF WAY INTO OUR DEVELOPMENT.
RIGHT. OKAY. DID THEY READ IT TO YOU? I MEAN, IT WOULD HAVE TO BE SO.
I MEAN, I GUESS THEY DON'T LEGALLY OWN ONCE IT'S ABANDONED.
THE THE ONLY WAY AN ABANDONMENT TAKES FULL EFFECT IN TERMS OF PULLING THAT PROPERTY OUT OF IT BEING PUBLIC LAND INTO PRIVATE PROPERTY IS.
I THINK EITHER THROUGH A QUICK CLAIM AND KELLY CAN WEIGH IN ON THIS OR A PLAT AND BUT MY CLIENT CAN'T EVEN CLAIM IT BECAUSE IT'S NOT HIS TO CLAIM IT WOULD BE THE APARTMENT COMPLEX THAT HAS TO CLAIM IT.
YOU'D HAVE TO GO TO A LOT OF HASSLE TO GET THEM TO QUIT, CLAIM IT, AND THEN DEED IT OVER TO YOU.
WHICH YOU ALL MIGHT EVEN BE HESITANT, EVEN KNOW IF THEY WOULD OR THEY'D WANT TO HELP.
SO. BUT WITH ALL THE THINGS YOU ARE DOING IN THE REPLOTTING, IT'S BASICALLY GOING TO CLOSE THE ROAD.
AS IS. YES. AND THAT'S OUR DESIRE.
WE DON'T WE DON'T WANT THAT CONNECTION EITHER.
I MEAN, WE'RE WE'RE EXTENDING A NEIGHBORHOOD, AND WE DON'T WANT THIS NEIGHBORHOOD TO BE IN ESSENCE, IT'S GOING TO DO WHAT, OTHER THAN YOU JUST GETTING TO CLEAN UP THAT CURB OR WHATEVER IF YOU OWNED IT OR WHATEVER AS PART OF YOUR.
SAY THAT AGAIN. NO OTHER THAN Y'ALL GETTING TO DO SOMETHING WITH THAT AREA.
IN ESSENCE, IT'S STILL CLOSING.
IT'S STILL CLOSING THAT ACCESS AND CLOSING THE ABILITY FOR IT TO EVER BE THE ACCESS IS CLOSED.
[00:30:03]
THE ONES YOU OUTLINED LAST TIME YOU WERE HERE, IT CAN'T BE DONE.THANKS. APPRECIATE IT. ANYONE ELSE.
GOING ONCE. MY NAME IS TED PRESLEY. I LIVE AT 733 PARSONS ROAD.
IF YOU LOOK AT THIS PICTURE THAT WE RECEIVED MY.
PROPERTY LINE. MY BACK GATE OPENS UP INTO WHAT MIGHT BE PART OF A ZOO, AND THAT'S MY ONLY CONCERN.
I'M IN FAVOR OF THE ZOO EXPANDING AND ALL THAT SORT OF THING.
BUT IF WE COULD HAVE SOME CLARIFICATION ON THE MATERIAL THAT'S SENT OUT, YOU KNOW, TO OUR ENTIRE NEIGHBORHOOD, THAT WOULD REALLY HELP A LOT OF US SO THAT WE COULD, YOU KNOW, SLEEP A LITTLE EASIER AT NIGHT IF WE IF WE IF WE HAD SOME INDICATION THAT, YOU KNOW, THERE WOULD BE A LIMIT, YOU KNOW, TO THIS THIS AREA RIGHT HERE ON THE EDGE OF WHAT IS THE POND, YOU KNOW THAT THAT AREA THERE, PEOPLE IN OUR WHOLE NEIGHBORHOOD OR THAT WHOLE AREA GO WALKING ON A REGULAR BASIS.
THEY TAKE THEIR DOGS FOR A WALK.
AND A LOT OF US ARE OUT THERE ON, ON A REGULAR BASIS.
I'M IN FAVOR OF THE ZOO, AND I'LL DO EVERYTHING I CAN TO HELP OUT.
SO. SO I THINK WHAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT IS A ZONING CASE.
I THINK WHAT YOU'RE HOLDING UP THERE IS THE ZONING CASE.
AND WE'RE GOING TO DISCUSS THAT HERE IN JUST A LITTLE BIT, OKAY? OKAY. AND I THINK YOUR I THINK YOUR COMMENTS ARE VERY APPROPRIATE AT THAT TIME.
AND WE CAN WE'LL DISCUSS THEM THEN.
OKAY. SO WE'LL ASK YOU TO COME BACK UP WHEN WE GET THERE A LITTLE BIT.
I WILL CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING.
SO. I GUESS I'M OKAY WITH WHAT TAL SAID.
OTHER THAN IS THAT A NORMAL PROCESS? BECAUSE AGAIN, I THOUGHT TRANSFORMER TRAIL WAS A LOCAL STREET.
I HAD A SECOND TO THINK ABOUT THAT.
OKAY, GOOD. SEEING THAT THIS IS ALL CITY PROPERTY ANYWAY, THE PUBLIC RIGHT OF WAY IS CITY PROPERTY.
ANYWAY, THERE WERE RELOCATED AND CREATING ANOTHER PUBLIC RIGHT OF WAY FOR AEP.
WE DO NOT HAVE TO ABANDON THAT TO CONTINUE FORWARD.
OKAY, I KIND OF CAUGHT ME OFF GUARD, SO I WASN'T I HAD TO THINK IT THROUGH.
I SHOULD ASK YOU. YEAH, WE CAN WE CAN CONTINUE ON AND DO THE FINAL PLAT, PRELIMINARY AND FINAL PLAT.
AND IF WE IF THE CITY DECIDES TO USE THAT EASEMENT LATER, THEY CAN.
OR IF THEY DON'T WANT TO, THEY'LL NEVER USE IT AND IT'LL BECOME FLAT FIELDS.
OKAY. I'M COMFORTABLE WITH WHAT WE'RE DOING.
ANY MORE QUESTIONS? DO WE FEEL LIKE WE NEED TO BREAK THESE PLOTS OUT SEPARATE, OR CAN WE DO THEM ALL IN ONE MOTION? YOU THINK? I THINK WE CAN DO THEM ALL.
OKAY. SOMEBODY WOULD SOMEBODY LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION.
I'LL MOVE TO APPROVE THE PLATS WITH THE CONDITIONS STATED.
FOR THOSE THAT HAVE CONDITIONS, WE HAVE A MOTION TO APPROVE.
AND THE MOTION TO APPROVE CARRIES.
[ZONING]
CHANGE ZONING OF APPROXIMATELY 225.93 ACRES FROM AGRICULTURE TO A PLANNED DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT 184 TO ALLOW ZONING DISTRICTS GENERAL COMMERCIAL ALONG SOUTH EAST 11TH STREET AND LOOP 322 FOR THE ZOO.GOOD AFTERNOON. MY NAME IS CLARISSA IVEY.
I'M WITH THE PLANNING DEPARTMENT.
TODAY, BEFORE YOU, YOU HAVE 2023 DASH 30.
THIS WOULD BE LOCATED AT 2070 ZOO LANE AND 1042 LOOP 332.
AS YOU CAN SEE, THIS IS THE AREA THAT ENCOMPASSES THE ZOO AND NELSON PARK, AND ALSO THE SPORTS COMPLEX WOULD BE ALL THE AREA HIGHLIGHTED WITH THE YELLOW RIGHT ON THE INTERSECTION OF EAST, SOUTH 11TH AND LOOP 332.
CURRENTLY, THE PROPERTY IS ZONED AGRICULTURAL OPEN.
[00:35:04]
NOW, WHICH ALLOWS FOR THE USES OF THE ZOO AND THE PARKS.WHAT THEY'RE PROPOSING TO HAVE IN THIS PLAN DEVELOPMENT IS GENERAL COMMERCIAL AND STILL KEEPING A LOT OF THE PROPERTY WITHIN THE AGRICULTURAL OPEN.
THAT WAY THEY CAN CONTINUE WITH THE ZOO USES AND THE PARK USES.
WHETHER WANTING TO DO IS JUST KIND OF ALLOW FOR MORE GENERAL COMMERCIAL USES ALONG THAT BLUE AREA THAT YOU SEE ON THE SCREEN RIGHT NOW. AND THIS ARE THE POTENTIAL USES THAT COULD GO IN YOUR GENERAL COMMERCIAL.
UM. HERE ARE SOME VIEWS OF THE PROPERTY.
UM, AS WELL AS SOME VIEWS OF THE NEIGHBORING PROPERTY.
UM, AS YOU CAN SEE, THERE IS SOME RESIDENTIAL TO THE EAST, BUT IT HAS A TRAIL AND A LOT OF BUFFER ON THAT AREA.
WE ACTUALLY DID DOUBLE NOTIFICATIONS ON THIS TO CLARIFY WHAT WAS BEING REZONED.
REZONING IS CONSISTENT WITH THE PLANNING COMPREHENSIVE PLAN, SURROUNDING USES AND ZONING, GENERAL ACCEPTED PLANNING PRINCIPLES AND WITH THE CRITERIA FOR APPROVAL IN THE LAND DEVELOPMENT CODE.
THIS WAS PRESENTED TO THE BOARD.
THE PARKS BOARD AND THEY RECOMMENDED APPROVAL SUBJECT TO THE STAFF RECOMMENDATION.
A RECOMMENDATION IS APPROVAL SUBJECT TO THE FOLLOWING CONDITIONS.
I'D BE HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS YOU MIGHT HAVE.
DO YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS FOR CHRIS? THANK YOU. I WILL OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING NOW, SIR.
YOU WANT TO COME BACK UP? SORRY ABOUT THAT. BUT I THINK THIS IS A BETTER SPOT FOR WHAT YOU WERE GOING TO ASK.
SO GIVE US YOUR NAME AGAIN AND YOUR ADDRESS ONE MORE TIME.
THANKS, DAVE. AT 733 PARSONS ROAD.
OKAY. IS THERE ANY WAY THAT WE COULD HAVE A, YOU KNOW, PLATS AND ALL THAT SORT OF THING? THAT'S NOT PART OF MY.
LANGUAGE. SO THERE IS A MASTER PLAN FOR THE ZOO PARKS AREA FOR THIS AREA.
AND I THINK REALLY THAT'S WHAT YOU'RE ASKING FOR.
PROBABLY SO. OKAY. AND IT'S VERY WELL LAID OUT.
AND SO I THINK IT'S POSTED PROBABLY ON THE WEBSITE, BUT I KNOW MR. LITTLEJOHN CAN AND I KNOW MISS ANDREWS BACK OVER THERE.
THAT'S THE LADY THAT KNOWS ALL.
SO BE HAPPY TO VISIT WITH HER.
BUT SHE CAN. THEY CAN DIRECT YOU TO THAT.
THAT THE PARKS PLAN FOR THIS WHOLE AREA, FOR THE WHOLE COMPLEX, FOR THE ZOO AND ALL AND ALL OF TURTLE LAKE AND NELSON PARK AND EVERYTHING THAT'S GOING ON OUT THERE.
COULD I JUST GET A ACCESS TO THAT? AND YEAH, I THINK IT'S ACTUALLY POSTED ON THE WEBSITE SOMEWHERE.
ABILENE.GOV. AND IF HE GOES TO.
GOOD. THANK YOU. THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
THANK YOU. ANYBODY ELSE? SEEING NO ONE. I WILL CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING.
COME ON UP. YOU WANT TO? I'LL CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING.
ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION OR A MOTION? I MEAN, I THINK IT'S WHAT NEEDS TO BE DONE.
SO AND LEAVE THE LEAVE THE PARKS AND THE AND THE ZOO AND.
I HAVE A MOTION TO APPROVE A SECOND AND A SECOND.
[00:40:03]
USES WEST OF JUDGE ELY BOULEVARD AND REDUCE THE SETBACK.LOCATED ON THE WEST SIDE 2500 BLOCK OF JUDGE ELY BOULEVARD.
WE NEED TO REMOVE IT FROM THE TABLE.
DO I HAVE A MOTION? TO REMOVE IT FROM THE TABLE.
I'LL MOVE TO BRING IT BACK ON TO TODAY'S AGENDA, I GUESS.
IS THAT WHAT WE NEED? YEAH, IN A SECOND.
SECOND, SECOND. ALL IN FAVOR? ALL RIGHT. HI. OKAY, NOW I THINK WE NEED TO RE TABLE IT TILL NEXT MONTH.
FIRST OFF, SINCE WE'VE GOT IT OFF THE TABLE, IT DOES CALL FOR A PUBLIC HEARING.
SO IS THERE ANYBODY HERE THAT WOULD LIKE TO ADDRESS THAT ZONING CASE.
OKAY. IT'S THE IT'S THE IT'S THE AQ JUDGE ELY.
AMBLER. WHY DON'T YOU COME ON UP HERE, MA'AM, SO WE CAN.
AND I'LL KIND OF EXPLAIN TO YOU.
I DID OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING, DIDN'T I? OKAY. GO AHEAD AND STATE YOUR NAME FOR US.
AND SO I GUESS MY QUESTION IS WHEN WE WHEN WE MET LAST TIME THE DECISION WAS MADE TO TABLE IT.
YES, MA'AM. AND THEN THE CONSIDERATION WAS THAT YOU WANTED TO GO ON TO A COUNCIL MEETING.
THAT WAS ONE OF THEIR POINTS THAT THEY WANTED TO GO ONTO, THAT THEY MIGHT GO DIRECTLY TO A COUNCIL MEETING AND PRESENT IT AND HAVE IT PASSED OR NOT PASSED.
AND OF COURSE, THAT'S ALL SUPPOSITION.
SO I'M JUST WANTING TO KNOW, IS THIS OUR TIME THAT WE NEED TO SPEAK ABOUT SOME CONCERNS THAT WE HAVE? SO WE OR PUBLIC HEARING OR NOT PUBLIC HEARING, WHAT DO WE CALL IT? YOU KNOW, MISS NELSON, WE HAD WE HAD A LONG DISCUSSION, LENGTHY DISCUSSION LAST TIME.
AND SO THE, THE, THE AQ AND THE PLANNING STAFF ASKED THE TABLE LAST TIME.
SO WE'VE OPENED A PUBLIC HEARING AND NOW WE'RE HAVING A DISCUSSION.
SO WE'RE NOT GOING TO HAVE ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION.
SO THEY WERE GOING THE THE POINT WAS.
WAS THAT THEY WANTED TO HAVE A CONCEPT, DEVELOPMENT PLAN OR PROJECT.
YES, MA'AM, TO PRESENT, AND I DON'T THINK THEY'RE NOT READY TO THEY'RE NOT READY TO DO THAT.
THAT'S CORRECT. SO IT WILL NEED TO COME TO US FOR RECOMMENDATION BEFORE IT GOES TO COUNCIL.
YEAH, YEAH, IT'LL HAVE TO COME BACK.
IT'LL HAVE TO COME HERE. IT'LL HAVE TO BE HERE.
ALL RIGHT. THAT'S FINE. JUST TRYING TO FIGURE OUT THE WORKS AND HOW IT ALL GOES.
I DO APPRECIATE THE TIME THAT YOU SPENT ON IT AND THE TIME.
AND YOU'RE LETTING US TALK, AND WE DON'T KNOW HOW THE PROCEDURE GOES.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH. ALL RIGHT.
YOU ARE WELCOME TO VOICE ANY CONCERNS.
YEAH. IF YOU DO HAVE SOME CONCERNS ABOUT IT.
BUT BUT AGAIN THEY'RE SUPPOSED TO THEY DON'T HAVE THEY HAVEN'T COME BACK WITH A PROPOSAL FOR.
YEAH. YEAH. AND THEY'RE STILL WORKING WITH STAFF ON THAT.
THE. THE FACT THAT THEY'RE GOING TO PRESENT FOR SINGLE FAMILY DEVELOPMENT, AND IT'S GOING TO BE ON THE NORTH END OF THE PROPERTY, I THINK. WILL PART OF THAT PROCESS BE TO DECIDE THE SQUARE FOOTAGE, THE MARKETING, THE GARAGES AND THINGS LIKE THAT? WHAT DETERMINES A SINGLE FAMILY THAT'S PROBABLY IN YOUR DOCUMENTS SOMEWHERE? SINGLE FAMILY? OR DO THEY HAVE TO PRESENT ALL OF THAT DATA IN THE WORKING PROCESS? WHAT THEY WERE DOING IS THEY WERE ASKING FOR AND IT WAS R-6 WAS THAT WAS THAT THE ZONING THEY WERE ASKING TO ADD, OR WAS IT PATIO OR WAS IT R-6 FOR HOMES OR R-6 SINGLE FAMILY DETACHED DWELLINGS? SO IN THE ORIGINAL PD, IT DIDN'T.
IT LISTED THINGS THAT THEY COULD PUT IN THAT PLANNED DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT OR RESIDENTIAL ZONING.
R-6 WAS NOT IN THAT ORIGINAL PD.
YOU KNOW, KIND OF WHERE WE GOT HUNG UP IS I THINK WE ALL AGREED THAT ADDING THAT RESIDENTIAL IN THE AREA THAT THEY WERE ADDING IT WAS, WAS A POSITIVE AND IT WAS GOOD, GOOD FOR THE DEVELOPMENT. WHERE WE GOT HUNG UP WAS ON THE, THE, THE NONUSE THING ON THE ALLEY AND, AND REROUTING THEIR ALLEY AND YOUR ALLEY AND WHETHER THERE WAS A SEVEN FOOT FENCE THERE AND THOSE THINGS.
AND SO THAT'S KIND OF WHERE WE GOT HUNG UP.
[00:45:03]
OKAY, OKAY.ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
AND THE FACT THAT THAT FOR INSTANCE, THAT WALL IS I WON'T PURSUE THAT.
LET'S JUST GO WITH THAT, OKAY? OKAY. ALL RIGHT. VERY MUCH.
THANK YOU. ANYONE ELSE? I WILL CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING.
SO DO I HEAR A MOTION TO TO TABLE TILL NEXT MONTH OR DO THEY WANT TO EXTEND IT? THE NEXT MONTH. THEY'LL BE GOOD NEXT.
NEXT MONTH. OKAY, SO DO I HEAR A MOTION TO TABLE IT TILL NEXT MONTH? I'LL MOVE TO TABLE IT FOR NEXT MONTH.
MOTION IN A SECOND. DO WE NEED A CALL VOTE OR CAN I JUST VOICE? JUST A VOICE VOTE? ALL IN FAVOR? AYE. LET'S SEE.
WHERE ARE WE? UH, 20 2332 TO AMEND THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF CONCEPT PLAN DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT 104, SPECIFICALLY TO ALLOW SELF STORAGE AND GENERAL COMMERCIAL USES IN TRACK TWO, AND TO REMOVE EXHIBIT C TO EXPAND TO THE SCOPE OF PERMITTED USES AT OLDHAM LANE AND OLDHAM LANE FROM SOUTH 27TH TO LOOP 322.
GOOD AFTERNOON ONCE AGAIN. MY NAME IS ADAM HOLLAND.
I WORK FOR THE CITY OF ABILENE'S PLANNING DEPARTMENT.
THIS IS A REZONE REQUEST FROM WEATHERBY CONSTRUCTION, INC., REPRESENTED BY CIVETTA SOLUTIONS.
THIS IS TO AMEND THE TERMS OF PD 104.
THIS IS LOCATED AT THE 3200 BLOCK OF OLDHAM.
HERE'S A LOCATION MAP KIND OF SHOWING THE AREA.
HERE IS A CURRENT ZONING MAP OF THE PROPERTY.
THAT PARCEL IN THE NORTHWEST IS ACTUALLY PART OF THIS OF THIS PD JUST COULD NOT AMEND THAT MD TO GO AWAY.
HERE ARE SOME VIEWS OF THE SUBJECT PROPERTY.
CURRENTLY, MOST OF THIS PROPERTY IS VACANT WITH ONE MULTIFAMILY DEVELOPMENT ON THE PROPERTY.
IT DOES NEIGHBOR THE LOOP 322 AS WELL AS THERE IS A DQ, A LAWN NEXT DOOR AS WELL, AND THERE ARE SOME RESIDENTIAL USES JUST TO THE EAST OF THE PROPERTY AS WELL.
HERE IS THE EXISTING CONCEPT PLAN WITH THE PROPOSED GR USES WITH SELF STORAGE SHOWN IN A RED BOX, AS WELL AS A PROPOSED GROSS UNRESTRICTED IN THE GREEN BOX.
THIS IS THE EXHIBIT C FROM THE PD, WHICH IS PROPOSED TO BE REMOVED WITH THIS REQUEST.
THIS LIMITS THE TYPES OF USES PERMITTED IN TRACT ONE OF THIS PLANNED DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT.
HERE ARE THE PERMITTED USES IN THE GR ZONING DISTRICT.
THIS SHOWS ALL THE USES THAT WOULD BE PERMITTED WITH PASSING OF THIS OF OF THIS PARTICULAR REQUEST, WE SENT OUT NOTIFICATIONS AND RECEIVED NONE IN FAVOR OR OPPOSED JUST FROM THE PROPERTY OWNER THEMSELVES, AND THE CITY STAFF HAS FOUND THAT THIS IS CONSISTENT WITH THE SPIRIT AND INTENT OF 104.
THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN, SURROUNDING USES AND ZONING GENERALLY ACCEPTED PLANNING PRINCIPLES AND THE CRITERIA FOR APPROVAL IN THE LDC AND STAFF RECOMMENDS APPROVAL SUBJECT TO THE BASE ZONING OF TRACT ONE SHALL BE GR WITHOUT ANY GR USE.
I'D BE HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS YOU HAVE.
SO GO BACK TO THE GO BACK TO THE TRACK PLAN.
SO. IF YOU TAKE THE BODY OF THE THE PD AND YOU READ THROUGH THE PD, THIS TRACT, WHAT IS IT? ONE THREE DOWN AT THE BOTTOM IS NOT LISTED IN THAT BODY UP THERE.
OKAY. TRACK ONE THREE IS NOT IN THERE.
SO I, I GUESS WHAT I'M SAYING HERE, ADAM, IS THAT.
I THINK THEY'RE OTHER THAN JUST THAT MAP.
I THINK THAT NEEDS TO BE GONE THROUGH AND MAKE SURE THAT IT ALL CORRESPONDS TO PROPERLY WHAT WE'RE FIXING TO SAY HERE, BECAUSE I DON'T THINK THE LANGUAGE ABOVE WHERE THIS MAP IS AT IN THE PD SPECIFICALLY IS STILL CORRECT IN THE IN THE RED LINE STRIKEOUT.
SO WHAT WHAT WE'RE ADDRESSING HERE IS I THINK WHAT YOU'RE ASKING US TO ADDRESS TODAY IS TRACK ONE AND THREE, TRACK ONE AND TRACK TWO, AND ALL OF THOSE TO BE GENERAL RETAIL WITH THE CONDITION WITH THE USE OF.
STORAGE. SELF STORAGE UNITS ON TRACK TO.
CORRECT. BUT IN THE LANGUAGE THAT WE SAW, I DON'T THINK THAT ALL IS TELEGRAPHED THROUGH THERE.
[00:50:01]
THAT THAT MAKES SENSE. OKAY.ANY ANY OTHER QUESTIONS FOR ADAM? I AM CURIOUS ABOUT TRACK ONE THREE.
IT SEEMS ODD THE OVERLAP THERE.
WHAT IS THE. CAN SOMEBODY EXPLAIN THAT TO ME? WHAT IS WHAT IS THE REASON FOR THE OVERLAP? ON TRACK ONE THREE.
TRACK THREE ALLOWS FOR MULTIFAMILY USES AS WELL AS BUT TRACK ONE THREE.
BUT ACCORDING. GO BACK TO WHERE YOU DREW THE RED AND THE RED AND THE GREEN.
YEAH. SO TO ME, TRACK ONE THREE IS GOING AWAY AND THAT'S ALL.
IS THAT CORRECT IN THIS MAP? NOT? NO, I DON'T BELIEVE SO.
IT'S JUST AN OVERLAP BETWEEN TRACK THREE AND TRACK ONE.
SO YOU'RE GOING TO. SO WE'RE GOING TO STILL ALLOW SELF STORAGE UNITS ON TRACK ONE THREE.
YES, THAT IS A PERMANENT USE IN THE PD.
ON TRACK THREE. ON TRACK ONE THREE.
IT'S NOT WHAT. THAT'S NOT WHAT THE MARKUP SAYS, I DON'T THINK.
AND THAT'S NOT WHAT I UNDERSTOOD WE WERE DOING.
I UNDERSTOOD THAT WE WERE GOING TO ALLOW SELF STORAGE IN TRACK TWO AND THAT WAS IT.
WE WEREN'T EDITING TRACT ONE THREE INCHES.
TRACT ONE THREE IS NOT IN THE PART OF THE ABOVE.
THAT'S WHAT THE LANGUAGE FOR TRACT ONE THREE IS NOT IN THERE.
I'M LOOKING AT THE ORDINANCE NOW IN MY POCKET.
THEY FORGOT TO MENTION TRACK ONE THREE IN THAT ORIGINAL ORDINANCE, BUT THE CONCEPT PLAN HERE SHOWS THE USES WITHIN TRACK THREE, AND THEN ONE THREE IS AS AN ALLOWABLE USE TO TO BE ALLOWED TO HAVE SELF STORAGE.
THIS IS SPECIFIED IN THE ORDINANCE TO ALLOW SELF STORAGE.
OKAY. THIS TWO LOT LINES ARE OVERLAPPING THERE.
HONESTLY, I DON'T KNOW HOW THEY GOT MISSED PREVIOUSLY, BUT THE MAIN REQUEST TODAY IS TO AMEND TRACK ONE JUST TO MAKE IT STRAIGHT FOR GENERAL RETAIL WITH NO RESTRICTIONS, AND TRACK TWO TO TURN IT INTO GENERAL RETAIL WITH THE ALLOWABLE USE OF SELF STORAGE UNITS.
SELF STORAGE BE ALLOWED ON TRACK ONE THREE? YES. THE WAY THE CONCEPT PLAN READS NOW, IT WOULD STILL ALLOW THE SELF STORAGE THERE ON 1313.
SO IT DOESN'T NEED TO BE AMENDED.
NO. WE WE WORKED WITH THE APPLICANT QUITE CLOSELY ON THIS ONE.
I KNOW THIS ONE'S BEEN AMENDED I THINK FIVE TIMES TOTAL NOW, BUT AS THE MARKET CHANGES, THE OWNER WANTS TO CHANGE WITH THE MARKET TO MAKE IT MORE MARKETABLE.
I'LL OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING. ANYBODY LIKE TO COME UP AND VISIT ABOUT THIS? GOOD AFTERNOON, SHERYL SAWYERS.
I AM THE REPRESENTATIVE FOR THE APPLICANT WITH CIVITAS SOLUTIONS.
MY CLIENT IS AGREEABLE TO CHANGING.
THE APPLICATION WAS ORIGINALLY FOR GC ON TRACK TWO.
HOWEVER, TALKING WITH CITY STAFF, WE WERE ABLE TO COME TO AN AGREEMENT THAT GR IS BETTER FOR TRACK TWO IF THERE WAS AN ALLOWABLE USE FOR THE SELF STORAGE.
THERE'S SOME PRELIMINARY THINGS HAPPENING WITH THE LAND AND THE TOPOGRAPHY OF THE LAND.
THERE ISN'T A LOT OF THINGS THAT CAN BE BUILT ON TRACK TWO.
THAT WOULD MAKE IT A IT WOULD BE KIND OF COST PROHIBITIVE FOR THEM TO PUT A LOT OF THINGS THERE.
HOWEVER, THE APPLICANT DOES WANT TO CHANGE IT TO GR WITH THAT ALLOWABLE USE IN ORDER TO BE ABLE TO SELL THE PROPERTY FOR THE SPECIFIC USE OF THAT SELF STORAGE.
SO IT HAS BEEN VACANT SINCE IT WAS ANNEXED AND SINCE ITS INCEPTION IN ABILENE IN 1899.
ALLOW IT TO HAVE SOMETHING BUILT THERE.
HOWEVER, TRACK ONE AND TRACK TWO WERE THE ONLY THINGS ON THE APPLICATION.
WE DID NOT ASK TO AMEND TRACK ONE THREE SO THAT COULD STAY.
ALL RIGHT. THANKS. ANYBODY ELSE? ANYONE ELSE? I WILL CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING.
I THINK I UNDERSTAND NOW BECAUSE IT IS AN OVERLAP.
TRACK. JUAN DAVID TODD DID IT THAT WAY.
I DON'T KNOW, BUT WE'LL BLAME HIM FOR IT.
HE'S RETIRED. HE DOESN'T CARE. YEAH, HE'S RETIRED.
[00:55:01]
BUT I THINK I UNDERSTAND NOW THAT IF YOU IF YOU JUST LOOK AT TRACK ONE INDEPENDENT OF TRACK THREE, THEN THAT'S WHAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT.AND YOU DON'T YOU DON'T CONSIDER TRACK THREE IN THERE.
OKAY. ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION OR A MOTION.
AND THE MOTION TO APPROVE CARRIES CASE Z, 20 2334 REZONE APPROXIMATELY 3.21 ACRES FROM GENERAL COMMERCIAL TO GENERAL RETAIL, LOCATED AT 5308 HIGHWAY 277 SOUTH.
THANKS. FIRST TIME UP, HUH? YES. ALL RIGHT.
DON'T MESS UP. I AM A PLANNER WITH THE CITY OF ABILENE.
I'M HERE TO TALK ABOUT CASE Z 20 2334.
OWNER OF AARON AND ANDREA ROBINSON, REPRESENTED BY JACOB AND MARTIN.
SO THEY HAVE A REQUEST TO REZONE FROM GENERAL COMMERCIAL TO GENERAL RETAIL.
THEY'RE LOCATED AT 5308 HIGHWAY TO 77.
HERE'S AN AERIAL LOCATION MAP SHOWING WHERE THEY'RE LOCATED.
AM ZONING MAP SHOWING THAT THERE CURRENTLY ARE ZONED GENERAL COMMERCIAL.
HERE'S SOME ALLOWABLE USES IN GCC.
AND THE ALLOWABLE USES PERMITTED IN GR, SO THEY ARE REQUESTING TO REZONE TO GR TO ALLOW SINGLE FAMILY DETACHED RESIDENTIAL.
THEY WOULD LIKE TO PUT A HOUSE ON THE PROPERTY WITH A POSSIBLE RECORDING STUDIO INSIDE OF THAT.
HERE'S THE PROPERTY AND ADJACENT PROPERTIES.
AND WHEN I SENT OUT THE MAIL OUTS, I DID GET TWO IN FAVOR.
AND THE PROPOSED REQUEST IS CONSISTENT WITH THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN, THE SURROUNDING USES AND ZONING, THE PLANNING PRINCIPLES, AND THE CRITERIA FOR THE LDC. STAFF RECOMMENDS APPROVAL.
I'D BE HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS.
YES. SO THE PROPERTY WAS REZONED FROM O TO GENERAL COMMERCIAL BACK IN MARCH OF 2022.
OKAY. IT HAS NOT BEEN UPDATED ON GIS.
ANY MORE QUESTIONS FOR KYLIE? THANK YOU. THANK YOU.
WELCOME. I WILL OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING.
TOWEL FILLING GAME. 3465 CURRY LANE.
I CAN'T REMEMBER IF IT WAS R0 OR R6 TO GC, BUT I THINK WHAT WASN'T REALIZED WAS THAT GC IS IS IT'S NOT LIKE THE ORDINANCE USED TO BE PRIOR TO 2008, WHERE YOU COULD DO EVERYTHING BELOW THAT.
IT'S RESTRICTIVE FOR LOWER INTENSE USES.
THANKS. ANY QUESTIONS FOR TAO? ANYONE ELSE? I WILL CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING.
IS THERE ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION? MOVE TO APPROVE. SECOND.
MOTION TO APPROVE IN A SECOND.
YES. AND THE MOTION TO APPROVE CARRIES, AND I THINK THAT'S IT.
WE'RE ADJOURNED.
