[20. Ordinance (Final Reading) CUP-2024-01: Receive a Report, Hold a Discussion and Public Hearing, and Take Action on a Request from the Owner, Represented By Enprotec/Hibbs & Todd, Inc., to Apply a Conditional Use Permit to Approximately 25.44 Acres Zoned Agricultural Open (AO) to Allow for an RV Park. Located At 9017 West Lake Road. (Tim Littlejohn)]

[00:15:04]

IT TO CATCH UP. THERE WE GO. UP FOR CONSIDERATION THIS MORNING CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT 2024-01 THE REQUEST IS TO APPLY CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT TO APPROXIMATELY 25.4 ACRES.

AGRICULTURAL OPEN SPACE TO ALLOW FOR RV PARK LOCATED AT 9017 W. LAKE ROAD. HERE IS A LOCATION MAP. HERE IS THE CURRENT ZONING MAP. HERE IS THE SITE LAYOUT OF PHASE I. AS YOU CAN SEE, THERE'S SOME BUILT IN BUFFERS IN PLACE AFTER WORKING WITH STAFF THROUGH THIS PROCESS. HERE IS THE FULL BUILD LAYOUT. HERE IS VIEWS OF THE SUBJECT PROPERTY.

NOTIFICATIONS WERE SENT, ZERO IN FAVOR, ZERO OF POST. THIS REQUEST IS CONSISTENT WITH COMPANY INTO PLANT AND CRITERIA FOR APPROVAL WITH LDC, THIS REQUEST WAS HEARD RECOMMENDED TO YOU THIS MORNING APPROVAL SUBJECT TO PROPOSED PLAN OF OPERATION AND RULES PROVIDED BY THE APPLICANT. HAPPY TO ANSWER

ANY QUESTIONS. >> QUESTIONS? THANK YOU. AT THIS TIME I WILL OPEN OF THE PUBLIC HEARING. ANYONE WHO WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK FOR OR AGAINST THE ITEM, PLEASE COME FORWARD GIVE YOUR NAME FOR THE RECORD AND I HAVE A CARD.

NAME ] >> GOOD MORNING I LIVE AT 15 FOR 15 COUNTY ROAD 341, 3/4 MILE FROM THIS POTENTIAL RV PARK. THE CITY SENT OUT A SURVEY, AT LEAST WE GOT ONE, I'M SURE TO OTHER PEOPLE ON IDEAS FOR HOW TO DEVELOP FORD FANDOM , I DON'T KNOW IF YOU SPEND YOUR VACATIONS OR WEEKENDS HERE I REALLY DOUBT IT. WE ARE NOT KNOWN FOR HAVING A BEAUTIFUL LAKE. PART OF THAT IS CITY COUNCIL AND PLANNING AND ZONING HELPING US GET TO THAT POINT MANY YEARS AGO. WE HAVE A VERY UGLY LAKE, UNDEVELOPED LAKE AND IT IS PRETTY MUCH AN EYESORE ALL THE WAY AROUND THE LAKE. THIS RV PARK WILL BRING NOTHING TO DEVELOPING AN ENVIRONMENT THAT SOMEBODY WOULD WANT TO VISIT OUR LAKE. IT WOULD GO RIGHT ALONG WITH THE TRAILER HOUSES THAT WE HAVE NOW ON THE SAME SIDE OF THE LAKE, BUT I DON'T SEE ANYBODY, IF THEY WERE TRYING TO COME UP WITH IDEAS OF HOW TO GET PEOPLE TO COME TO THE LAKE WOULD BE TO PUT IN AN RV PARK. ANOTHER THING YOU OUGHT TO CONSIDER IS, NOBODY IS GOING TO DEVELOP AROUND AN RV PARK. NOBODY WANTS TO PUT IN A ICE HOUSE, NOBODY WANTS TO PUT A BUSINESS OR MAYBE EVEN A RESORT THAT THEY CAN SEE THE RV PARK. SO NOT JUST CHANGING THE USE OF THIS PROPERTY, YOU PROBABLY OUGHT TO CHANGE MAYBE THE WHOLE WEST SIDE OF THE LAKE AND MAKE THE WHOLE WEST SIDE OF THE LAKE RVS AND TRAILER PARKS.

BECAUSE THAT'S BASICALLY WHAT WE HAVE NOW AND IT HAS DONE NOTHING FOR US. I DON'T KNOW WHY IN THE WORLD ANYBODY WOULD WANT TO COME SEE IT. I DON'T KNOW OF ANYBODY THAT TRAVELS AROUND TO DIFFERENT LAKES, WE HAVE PRETTY LAKES PEOPLE LIKE TO VISIT, NOBODY TAKES PICTURES OF RV PARKS, NOBODY GOES TO THE LAKE BECAUSE THEY HAVE AN RV PARK. I DON'T KNOW IF ANY OF YOU ALL LIVED AROUND AN RV PARK. LOTS OF TRASH, LOTS OF NOISE, THEY ARE UGLY. YOU MIGHT ENVISION A PARK IS A PLACE WHERE BRAND-NEW RVS ARE PARKED AND IT'S NOT, PEOPLE LIVE IN THEM LIKE THEY DO MOBILE HOMES TO AVOID PAYING PROPERTY TAX. THEY ARE NOT ALL HIGH UPSTANDING PEOPLE. I DON'T WANT THEM ANYWHERE NEAR MY PROPERTY AND ABOUT THE ONLY ADVANTAGE I WILL SEE FROM THIS DEVELOPMENT IS I WON'T HAVE TO FIGHT WITH MY PROPERTY VALUE GOING UP EXTRA BECAUSE IT WON'T AND I WON'T HAVE TO ARGUE THAT ANYMORE BECAUSE THAT WILL BE THE REASON I CAN SAY YOU WON'T RAISE MY PROPERTY

[00:20:04]

>> STILL IN PUBLIC COMMENT, ANYONE WHO WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK

ON ITEM 20 AT THIS TIME? >> GOOD MORNING MAYOR AND COUNCIL MEMBERS. MY NAME IS CEDRIC AND MY WIFE AND I OWN THIS PROPERTY. WE BELIEVE IT HOLDS GREAT VALUE AND POTENTIAL FOR BUILDING OUR COMMUNITY AND PROMOTING TOURISM. SOON-TO-BE RETIRED MILITARY MEMBER AND A LONG-STANDING RESIDENT FOR ABILENE FOR 15 YEARS AND I WANT TO TELL YOU HOW MY FAMILY DECIDED TO BRING THIS BUSINESS IDEA TO OUR CITY. OUR JOURNEY BEGAN IN 2019 WHEN WE STARTED BUTTERFLY MEADOW IN THE BACKYARD, THIS INITIATIVE WAS A HOBBY TO START AND IT BECAME A PASSION PROJECT AND STARTED WHERE WE WERE EDUCATING CHILDREN AND OURSELVES ABOUT THE FASCINATING MIGRATION OF BUTTERFLIES. TODAY, WE WISH TO SHARE THIS EXPERIENCE ON A LARGER SCALE WITH VISITORS , SO IN COLLABORATION WITH THE COUNTY NATIONAL OR NATURAL RESOURCE CONSERVATION SERVICE AND THE TEXAS PARKS AND WILDLIFE DEPARTMENT WE ARE DEDICATING SEVEN ACRES OF PROPERTY TO CREATE A FLOWER MEADOW AND THE MEADOW WILL SERVE AS A CENTURY FOR BUTTERFLIES AND BIRDS PROVIDING A UNIQUE EDUCATIONAL EXPERIENCE FOR FAMILIES , LOCAL SCHOOLS AND TOURISTS TO BOOST LOCAL BUSINESS. WE UNDERSTAND A BUTTERFLY MEADOW AND CONSERVATORY MAY NOT BE A SUSTAINABLE BUSINESS MODEL THROUGHOUT THE YEAR SO WE DECIDED TO INTEGRATE THIS WITH THE SECOND PASSION, RV TRAVEL. OUR VISION IS TO ESTABLISH A CAMPGROUND PRIORITIZING SPACE AND NATURE OVER DENSITY, TO CREATE AN ENVIRONMENT WHERE VISITORS ARE NOT PARKED ON TOP OF EACH OTHER, BUT HAVE ROOM TO APPRECIATE THE SURROUNDING NATURE AND PROMOTE PRIVACY. THE PLAN IS NOT TO BUILD A MASSIVE 100 PLUS SITE RV RESORT , INSTEAD WE ARE PROPOSING A MODEST 40 SITE PLAN WITH POTENTIAL FOR EXPANSION. SO THE LOW-DENSITY APPROACH ENSURES MINIMAL DISRUPTION TO THE ENVIRONMENT AND A MORE ENJOYABLE EXPERIMENT AND WE WILL ENFORCE RULES SUCH AS QUITE HOURS, ZERO-TOLERANCE POLICY FOR DISORDERLY ACTIVITY TO MAINTAIN PEACEFUL AND POSITIVE ATMOSPHERE AND HIGH QUALITY LIFE. WE BELIEVE THIS PROJECT WILL NOT ONLY BE OR PROVIDE A UNIQUE SERVICE TO ABILENE AND VISITORS, BUT ALSO WILL CONTRIBUTE POSITIVELY TO COMMUNITY GROWTH AND EDUCATION ABOUT NATURE. I AM OPEN TO ANY QUESTIONS AND FEEDBACK YOU MIGHT HAVE.

HOW LONG TONE CAN STAY AT AN RV PARK?

>> YES OR THERE IS A LEGAL LIMIT ON HOW LONG SOMEONE IS ALLOWED TO STAY, THE MAXIMUM , I DON'T HAVE THE CODE ORDINANCE IN FRONT OF ME, THE MAXIMUM THEY CAN STAY IS 12 MONTHS AND THEN THEY HAVE TO LEAVE, I BELIEVE 30 DAYS MAY BE 60 OR 30 BEFORE THEY ARE ALLOWED TO COME BACK TO STAY AGAIN. WE PLAN TO DO NIGHTLY, WEEKLY OR MONTHLY STATUS.

>> SO SOMEONE CAN'T JUST COME AND LIVE FULL-TIME AND AS THEY PACK UP AND MOVE 30 DAYS AND COME BACK?

>> WE ARE NOT A MOBILE HOME PARK. WE ARE A RECREATIONAL VEHICLE PARK. ESSENTIALLY WE ARE A CAMPGROUND WITH A FOCUS TO PROVIDE OPPORTUNITY FOR PEOPLE TO LEARN ABOUT BUTTERFLIES AND NATURE AND NOT BE PILED ON TOP OF EACH OTHER.

LENGTH? >> I'M HAPPY TO ANSWER THAT

QUESTION. >> I'M SORRY.

>> THAT'S FINE. >> THE PROCESS IN GENERAL IF A COMPLAINT IS MADE A COOL COMPLAINT THEY RESEARCH THE COMPLAINT, DETERMINE IF IT IS ZONING AND THEN A ZONING

OFFICER WOULD LOOK AT IT. >> HAVE YOU MET OR WORKED WITH THE FAMILY LAKE ASSOCIATION AND WHAT IS YOUR FEEDBACK FROM

THEM? >> WE HAVE MADE CONTACT WITH THEM AND THEY DON'T EXIST FROM WHAT MY WIFE AND I GATHER.

TO SEVERAL MEETINGS. >> WE WOULD LOVE TO MEET WITH YOU AFTERWARD SO WE CAN TRY TO GIVE IT TO YOU, WE CONTACTED THE PRESIDENT AND NEVER HEARD BACK.

[00:25:05]

>> ARE THERE ANY OTHER ORGANIZED COMMUNITY EVENTS OUTSIDE OF THE EDUCATIONAL PIECES THAT YOU HAVE PLANNED FOR RESIDENTS THAT WOULD STAY OR IS THAT THE PRIMARY FOCUS OF THE COMMUNAL LIMITS THAT YOU WILL HAVE PLANNED?

>> WE WOULD LOVE TO DO A LOT OF EDUCATION WITH LOCAL SCHOOLS , LOCAL COLLEGES, AND WITH THE PEOPLE WHO DECIDE TO VISIT WITH US. WE ARE OPEN TO EXPLORE ANYTHING THAT YOU HAVE. WE CAN

TALK AFTER. >> OKAY THANK YOU.

>> OKAY THANK YOU. HAVE A GREAT DAY.

>> STILL IN THE PUBLIC COMMENT PERIOD. WOULD ANYONE LIKE TO

SPEAK ON ITEM 20? >> GOOD MORNING. FROM DHT ENGINEERING WE ARE HELPING THE OWNER THROUGH THIS CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT REQUEST AND HOPEFULLY THROUGH DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION. JUST WANTED TO BE AVAILABLE FOR TECHNICAL QUESTIONS , WE WILL ASSIST HIM WITH MEETING THE DEVELOPMENT RULES AS FAR AS FIRE CODE, DRAINAGE, ANYTHING LIKE THAT.

IF THERE IS ANY QUESTIONS I CAN ANSWER ANY OF THOSE. THANK YOU. ANYONE ELSE WHO WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK ON ITEM 20 AT THIS TIME? I WILL CLOSE THE PUBLIC COMMENT PERIOD. ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION, IF NOT I WILL ACCEPT A MOTION AND SECOND. WE HAVE A MOTION BY COUNCILMEMBER GATES, SECOND BY COUNCILMEMBER CRAVER, FURTHER DISCUSSION? READY TO VOTE.
