ITEM 1 28, ITEM 1 28, GARY COMPLEX.
[00:40:01]
THE STAT IS LOCATED IN HOUSTON ETJ IN HARRIS COUNTY NORTH ALONG GARY ROAD, SOUTH OF NORTH LAKE HOUSTON PARKWAY, WEST OF EAST SAM HOUSTON TOLLWAY AND EAST OF THE OF THE GREEN BAYOU.BE APPLICANT PROPOSING ONE SINGLE FAMILY LOT, ONE COMMERCIAL RESERVE AND ONE DETENTION RESERVE AND IS REQUESTING TWO VARIANCES.
ONE IS TO EXCEED INTERSECTION PACING BY NOT PROVIDING ANY PUBLISHED STREET THROUGH THE SITE.
AND SECOND TO ALLOW A DETENTION RESERVE TO NOT HAVE ANY PUBLISHED STREET FURNISH STAT IS IN SUPPORT.
THE REQUEST IN 2023, THE PLANNING COMMISSION GRANTED A VARIANT TO NOT PROVIDE ANY PUBLISHED STREET THROUGH THE SITE.
HOWEVER, THE APPLICANT WE ADDRESS IN THE VARIANT REQUEST TO NOT PROVIDE PUBLISHED STREET DUE TO A MINOR MODIFICATION MADE TO THE PROPOSED PLA, WHICH IS NOW INCLUDING A DETENTION RESERVE.
SO THE SURROUNDING AREA IS MOSTLY ON DEVELOP OR LOW DENSITY AREA AND IS THE WE PLA OF TWO TRACK FROM LINCOLN PARK FARM SUBDIVISION.
ALL THIS TRACK FROM THE RECORDED PLA IN THIS BLOCK WERE SUBDIVIDED WITHOUT HAVING ANY STREET FURNISH AND ARE IN THE SAME OWNERSHIP OF THE ADJACENT SALT TRACKS PER CHAPTER 42 NORTH, SOUTH AND EAST WEST PUBLIC STREET ARE NEEDED TO ADDRESS EXCESSIVE INTERSECTION ALONG GARY ROAD AND PLAT BOUNDARIES.
HOWEVER, THIS AREA POSES SIGNIFICANT CHALLENGES.
GREEN BAYOU AND A FLOODWAY B SET THE UM UNIMPROVED PORTION OF GARY ROAD.
THE PROPERTY IS BOUNDED BY HARRIS COUNTY FLOOD CONTROL DRAINAGE CHANNEL AND A MOTORSPORT PARK COMPLEX WITH THE NORTH SINGLE FAMILY DEVELOPMENT EXISTING PLA TRACK AND EVEN HARRIS COUNTY FLOOD CONTROL PROPERTY TO THE EAST AND WEST.
SO THE POSSIBILITY OF EXTENDING THIS PUBLISHED STREET IS VERY LOW.
ADDITIONALLY, JOHN WALTON ROAD LOCATED FURTHER TO THE EAST WILL HAVE TO BE EXTENDED TO GARY ROAD, WHICH WILL HELP TO ADDRESS FUTURE TRAFFIC CIRCULATION IN THIS AREA.
THE APPLICANT REQUESTED A SECOND VARIANCE TO ALLOW A DETENTION RESERVE WITHOUT ANY PUBLISHED TREE FURNISH.
AND THIS DETENTION RESERVE WILL BE LOCATED AT THE BACK OF THE PROPERTY ADJACENT TO THE HARRIS COUNTY FLOOD CONTROL.
JOIN A CHANNEL ACCORDING TO CHAPTER 42, A DETENTION RESERVE DOES NOT REQUIRE PUBLIC STREET FURNACE IF IT'S NECK TO A PLOTTED DETENTION RESERVE.
IN THIS CASE THE PROPOSED DETENTION RESERVE WILL BE NECK TO AN ASSISTING JOIN A CHANNEL.
HARRIS COUNTY ENGINEER DEPART DEPARTMENT HAS NO OBJECTION TO THE REQUEST.
SO THAT RECOMMENDATION IS TO GRANT THE REQUESTED VARIANCES AND APPROVE THE PLANS SUBJECT TO THE CP C 1 0 1 FORM CONDITION AND THEY CONCLUDE MY PRESENTATION.
ALRIGHT LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, WE'RE ON 1 28 GARRETT COMPLEX.
UM, I HAVE MS. JOYCE OWENS HERE TO ANSWER QUESTIONS.

GOOD AFTERNOON, MR. CHAIR, MEMBERS OF THE HOUSTON PLANNING COMMISSION.
THE ITEM WAS DEFERRED AT THE PREVIOUS TWO MEETINGS.

THE APPLICANT PROPOSES A SUBDIVISION OF 22 SINGLE FAMILY LOTS ALONG A PUBLIC STREET.
THE APPLICANT IS REQUESTING A VARIANCE TO EXCEED INTERSECTION SPACING REQUIREMENTS BY NOT EXTENDING MEMORIAL SPRINGS PASS THROUGH THE SITE.
STAFF IS NOT IN SUPPORT OF THIS REQUEST.
THE SITE IS LOCATED BETWEEN LACEY AND A STUBB STREET FROM THE ASHFORD GROVE COMMUNITY.
THE APPLICANT IS REQUIRED TO EXTEND THIS STREET APPROXIMATELY 120 FEET IN ORDER TO CREATE A CONTIGUOUS STREET SEGMENT AS WAS ENVISIONED IN THE ASHFORD GROVE GENERAL PLAN.
THIS EXTENSION WOULD CREATE A MORE DIRECT ROUTE FOR VEHICULAR TRAFFIC AND WILL ALLOW FOR EASIER PEDESTRIAN ACCESS TO A NEARBY ELEMENTARY SCHOOL.
THE STREET EXTENSION COULD BE PROVIDED TO WITH RELATIVELY MINIMAL IMPACT TO THE PROPOSED SUBDIVISION.
STAFF FINDS THE REQUEST TO BE INCONSISTENT WITH THE INTENT OF THE STREET.
ITS EXTENSION REQUIREMENT BY CREATING A LONGER CIRCUITOUS ROUTE FOR TRAFFIC, CIRCULATION AND ACCESS.
STAFF ALSO FINDS THAT THE APPLICANT HAS NOT ARTICULATED A DEFENSIBLE HARDSHIP AS A STREET CAN BE PROVIDED WITH MINIMAL CHANGES.
STAFF RECOMMENDS APPROVING THE PLAT BUT DENYING THE REQUEST TO EXCEED
[00:45:01]
INTERSECTION SPACING BY NOT EXTENDING MEMORIAL SPRINGS.WE'VE RECEIVED NO ADVANCED WRITTEN COMMENT THIS ITEM.
ALRIGHT LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, WE'RE ON 1 29 LACEY ESTATE.
I HAVE NO ONE SIGNED TO SPEAK ON THIS ITEM.

ITEM ONE 30, DUNCAN POINT, SECTION 19.
THE SITE IS LOCATED IN, IN THE ETJ IN HARRIS COUNTY ALONG MASON ROAD SOUTH OF US HIGHWAY TWO 90 AND NORTH OF JACK ROAD.
THE APPLICANT REQUESTED A SPECIAL RECEPTION TO ALLOW AN INTERSECTION FACING LESS THAN 600 FEET ALONG A MAY 3RD FAIR.
THAT RECOMMENDATION IS TO DEFER THE PLAT PER THE APPLICANT REQUEST AND THEY CONCLUDE MY PRESENTATION.
ALRIGHT, WE'RE ON ITEM ONE 30, DURHAM, UH, DURHAM POINT SECTION 19.
I HAVE NO ONE SIGNED TO SPEAK ON THIS ITEM.

WE'VE GOT A RECOMMENDATION TO DEFER THIS ITEM.

ALL THOSE OPPOSED THE MOTION PASSES.
[f. Reconsiderations of Requirement (Geoff Butler and John Cedillo)]
WE'LL MOVE ON TO SECTION F RECONSIDERATION OF REQUIREMENTS ITEM 1 31.ITEM 1 31 IS DOWNTOWN EASTWOOD DISTRICT.
THE SITE IS LOCATED WITHIN HOUSTON'S CORPORATE LIMIT ALONG MCKINNEY EAST OF MILBY IN SOUTH OF HARRISBURG.
THE APPLICANT PROPOSES A RESERVE FOR THE PURPOSE OF RENOVATING AN EXISTING COMMERCIAL STRUCTURE AS PART OF A LARGER MIXED USE DEVELOPMENT.
THE APPLICANT IS REQUESTING RECONSIDERATION TO ALLOW NO RIGHT OF WAY DEDICATION TO MCKINNEY OR OAKHURST AND TO ALLOW FOR A ZERO FOOT DUAL BUILDING LINE FOR THE EXISTING STRUCTURE.
STAFF IS IN SUPPORT OF THESE REQUESTS.
THE SITE IS AT THE NORTHWEST INTERSECTION OF OAKHURST AND MCKINNEY STREETS.
THE SITE CONSISTS OF A COMMERCIAL STRUCTURE BUILT ALONG THE PROPERTY LINES PRIOR TO THE CURRENT SETBACK REQUIREMENT.
THE PROPOSED SCOPE OF WORK WOULD PRECLUDE THE STRUCTURE FROM BEING GRANDFATHERED.
SO VARIANCE IS REQUIRED TO ALLOW IT TO REMAIN AS IT IS.
THE APPLICANT IS ALSO REQUIRED TO DEDICATE 15 FEET TO MCKINNEY PER THE MAJOR THOROUGHFARE AND FREEWAY PLAN AS WELL AS FIVE FEET TO OAKHURST A LOCAL STREET.
THIS DEDICATION WOULD PLACE THE EXISTING BUILDING WITHIN THE RIGHT OF WAY.
GRANTING BOTH VARIANCES WILL ALLOW THE APPLICANT TO REPURPOSE THE SITE FOR MIXED USE.
THIS WILL ACHIEVE A SIMILAR RESULT AS THE PROVISION TO GRANDFATHER STRUCTURES THAT PREDATE THE BUILDING LINE THOUGH WITH MODIFICATION TO THE EXTERIOR.
IN ADDITION, MCKINNEY STREET IS PART OF THE PROPOSAL TO ELIMINATE GRADE CROSSINGS ALONG THE NEARBY RAILROAD CORRIDOR.
THIS WILL REDUCE THE NEED FOR ADDITIONAL RIGHT OF WAY AS THE BISECTED STREET WOULD FUNCTION MORE AS A LOCAL STREET THAN A COLLECTOR.
STAFF FINDS THE REQUEST TO BE CONSISTENT WITH SOUND PUBLIC POLICY AND RECOMMENDS APPROVAL OF THE PLAT AND THE VARIANCE AND WE'VE RECEIVED NO ADVANCE WRITTEN COMMENT ON THIS ITEM.
ALRIGHT, THANK YOU MR. BUTLER.
ALRIGHT LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, WE'RE ON 1 31 DOWNTOWN EASTWOOD.
I HAVE ANDREA VO, YOU'RE THE APPLICANT.
UH, WOULD YOU LIKE TO ADDRESS THE COMMISSION OR NOT AT ALL? UH, NOT AT ALL.
I CAN ANSWER QUESTIONS POTENTIALLY.
ANYONE ELSE WANTS TO ADDRESS THE COMMISSION ON THIS ITEM? ALRIGHT, SEEING NONE, WE'LL MOVE FORWARD.
AGAIN, WE'RE ON ITEM 1 31 WITH A RECOMMENDATION TO GRANT THE REQUESTED VARIANCE AND APPROVE THE PLATS SUBJECT TO CONDITIONS.
ARE THERE QUESTIONS? COMMISSIONER ROSENBERG, MR. BUTLER? UM, IN THE PAST I'VE SEEN WHERE THE DEDICATION MOVES FORWARD AND THE BUILDING'S ENCROACH BECAUSE THEY'RE HISTORIC AND THEY'RE ALLOWED TO REMAIN, BUT IF THE BUILDING IS TORN DOWN, THEY LOSE THAT.
AND MY RECOMMENDATION WOULD BE TO GRANT THAT SIMILAR TO THIS BECAUSE AGAIN, THEY GET THIS VARIANCE BUILDING ISN'T DEDICATED HISTORIC, IT'S NOT REGISTERED.
NEXT BUYER COMES ALONG AND AND TEARS IT DOWN.
THEY CAN BUILD BACK TO THESE PROPERTY LINES.
AND SO MY RECOMMENDATION WOULD BE TO GRANT THE SETBACKS FOR EVERYTHING ELSE, ALLOW THE ENCROACHMENT, UM, BECAUSE OF HISTORIC NATURE.
AND THEN IF ANYTHING, IF THAT BUILDING GOES AWAY, THE CITY GETS WHAT IT, IT, IT'S PLANNED.
THE SO THAT, THAT WAS SOMETHING CONSIDERED.
UM, THE ONLY ISSUE WITH THAT AS FAR
[00:50:01]
AS UM, THIS PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT, THEY ARE CLOSE TO THE PARKING REQUIREMENT AND LOSING 15 FEET OF FRONTAGE AND AN ADDITIONAL FIVE FEET ALONG OAKHURST MAY DISPLACE SOME OF THAT.UM, AND THIS WOULD ACHIEVE A SIMILAR RESULT.
IF SOMEONE COMES BACK AND TEARS THE BUILDING DOWN AND AND PROPOSES SOMETHING ELSE, THEY HAVE TO COME BACK AND READDRESS THE VARIANCE ANYWAY.
SO IT, OUR RECOMMENDATION WOULD, I BELIEVE ACHIEVE A SIMILAR RESULT.
IS WHAT YOU'RE RECOMMENDING NOT, NOT.
WELL, SO IF, IF SOMETHING ELSE IS PROPOSED FOR THE SITE, THEY HAVE TO COME BACK AND READDRESS BOTH THE BUILDING LINE AND THE RIGHT OF WAY DEDICATION.
SO THIS VARI IS ONLY IF THE MOVING REMAINS THAT'S CORRECT.
ALRIGHT, SO AGAIN, WE'RE ON ITEM 1 31 DOWN TOWN EASTWOOD DISTRICT WITH A RECOMMENDATION TO GRANT THE REQUESTED VARIANCE AND APPROVE THE PLAT SUBJECT TO CONDITIONS.
UH, IF THERE ARE NO QUESTIONS, IS THERE A MOTION FOR APPROVAL? BALD BALDWIN, SECOND SIGLER.
ALL THOSE OPPOSED HEARING NONE.
THE SEPTIC SITE IS AN OVER 8,600 SQUARE FOOT PROPERTY LOCATED IN THE HOUSTON CITY LIMITS AT THE NORTHEAST INTERSECTION OF HOLMAN AND VELASCO, SOUTH OF ELGIN STREET AND EAST OF INNA STREET AND ALONG THE COLUMBIA TAP, HIKE AND BIKE TRAIL.
THE APPLICANT IS PROPOSING FIVE SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL LOTS ALONG A SHARED DRIVEWAY AND IS REQUESTING A RECONSIDERATION OF REQUIREMENTS WITH A VARIANCE TO NOT DEDICATE RIGHT OF WAY WIDENING ALONG BRILEY STREET, A SUBSTANDARD RIGHT OF WAY.
STAFF IS IN SUPPORT OF THIS REQUESTED VARIANCE.
BRILEY IS A 90 FOOT LONG RIGHT OF WAY AT 40 FEET WIDE.
THE ADJACENT PROPERTIES TO THE EAST TAKE PRIMARY ACCESS FROM REEVES AND HOLMAN STREET, RESPECTFULLY LEAVING THE SUBJECT SITE TAKING SOLE ACCESS FROM BRILEY.
THE SHARED DRIVEWAY WILL TAKE ACCESS FROM BRILEY STREET AND STOP SHORT OF CONNECTING TO VELASCO.
THE APPLICATION WAS DEFERRED LAST CYCLE TO CONFIRM THE STATUS OF VELASCO AS A PRIVATE PROPERTY OR AS A PUBLIC RIGHT OF WAY WITH A PUBLIC RIGHT OF WAY INCURRING BUILDING LINES AND VISIBILITY TRIANGLES THAT WOULD IN TURN AFFECT THE PROPOSED SITE PLAN.
IN LIGHT OF THE VELASCO BEING A PUBLIC RIGHT OF WAY, THE APPLICANT HAS PROVIDED A REVISED SITE PLAN ADJUSTING FOR THOSE VISIBILITY TRIANGLES AND BUILDING LINE.
THE SUBJECT SIDE ITSELF IS WITHIN A GRID OF FOUR RIGHT OF WAYS OF SUFFICIENT WIDTH SAVE EXCEPT RILEY GRANTED THE VARIANCE WOULD NOT PLACE UNDUE BURDEN ON THE ADJACENT PROPERTIES AND WOULD NOT BE INJURIES TO PUBLIC HEALTH AND SAFETY.
STAFF HAS NOT RECEIVED ANY ADVANCED COMMENTS FOR THIS APPLICATION AND RECOMMENDS GRANTING THE REQUEST OF VARIANCE IN APPROVING THE PLAT SUBJECT TO CBC 1 0 1 FORM CONDITIONS.
MR. CHAIR, THIS CONCLUDES, THAT'S PRESENTATION.
AGAIN, LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, WE'RE ON ITEM 1 32 HOLMAN ANNEX WITH A RECOMMENDATION TO GRANT THE REQUESTED VARIANCE AND APPROVE THE PLAT SUBJECT TO CONDITIONS.

COMMISSIONER, DOES THAT ANSWER YOUR QUESTION? ALRIGHT.
UH, ANY OTHER QUESTIONS THAT MR. BUCKLEY OF STAFF BEFORE WE MOVE FORWARD WITH OUR SPEAKERS? COMMISSIONER ROSENBERG, AS YOU CONTINUE THE NEGOTIATIONS THROUGH THE DEFERRAL PERIOD, UM, THEY'RE ALREADY GETTING THE BICYCLE REDUCTION, WHICH I'M NOT SURE WHERE PEOPLE ARE RIDING THEIR BIKE TO IN THIS AREA.
BUT I'D LIKE SOME JUSTIFICATIONS OF WHY, IF, IF, IF THERE'S AFFORDABILITY TIED TO IT, IF THERE'S OTHER THINGS.
BUT THERE NEEDS TO BE A JUSTIFICATION, TRANSIT AFFORDABILITY OR SOMETHING THAT JUSTIFIES THE NEED AND THE COUNT THEY'RE COMING UP WITH.
UM, THE APPLICANT HAS PROVIDED US WITH SOME OF THAT INFORMATION, UM, BUT WE'D LIKE TO CONTINUE TO TALK WITH THEM TO VERIFY SOME THINGS.
OUR FIRST SPEAKER IS KATHY LEWIS.
MS. LEWIS, GOOD AFTERNOON AND WELCOME.
IF YOU WOULD COME UP TO THE FRONT, UM, INTRODUCE YOURSELF AGAIN IF YOU WOULD.
MY NAME IS KATHY LEWIS AND I'D LIKE TO SAY HELLO TO THE, TO THE CHAIR AND TO THE HOUSTON PLANNING COMMITTEE.
NOW, I, UM, JUST HAVE CON SOME CONCERNS ABOUT THE APARTMENT COMPLEX BUILDING AND THE PARKING.
THERE WILL BE A LOW, I MEAN, A RUSH OF LOW INCOME RESIDENTS IN OUR NEIGHBORHOOD.
UM, THE INCREASED CRIME RATE, POTENTIALLY A RE INCREASED CRIME RATE, AND ALSO THE LOWERING OF OUR PROPERTY VALUES.
UM, THE TRAFFIC CONGESTION IS JUST, UH, NOUN.
IT'S BAD BECAUSE THEY HAVE THE, THE, THE SOME, SOME, SOME, WHAT ARE THOSE? UH, CEMENT TRUCKS AND THINGS COMING THROUGH OUR NEIGHBORHOOD.
UH, ALAMEDA GENOA IS A TWO LANE STREET.
[01:00:01]
A RIGHT FIT FOR OUR NEIGHBORHOOD.UM, AND I'M JUST ASKING TO PLEASE RECONSIDER IF IT'S BEING CONSIDERED.
UM, AND AT THE, I WANTED TO SAY, WHAT ELSE DID I HAVE HERE? UH, I KNOW WE HAVE NO HOA, BUT WE MOVED THERE BECAUSE OF THAT.
UM, BUT WE STILL WOULD LIKE FREEDOM OF CHOICE AND TO HAVE THIS, THESE APARTMENTS COME.
I KNOW EVERYBODY NEEDS A PLACE TO LIVE, BUT THIS IS JUST NOT A RIGHT FIT FOR OUR NEIGHBORHOOD AND THAT'S WHAT I HAVE TO SAY.
UM, MS. LEWIS, QUESTIONS FOR MS. LEWIS.
HAVE YOU REACHED OUT TO YOUR COUNCIL MEMBER JUST FOR ANY HELP COORDINATING ANY MEETINGS WITH THE PARTICULAR DEVELOPER? I HAVE NOT.
I PERSONALLY HAVE NOT, BUT OTHER NEIGHBORS HAVE.
I MEAN, BUT BECAUSE WE HAVE NEIGHBORHOOD MEETINGS AND REACHING OUT AND WE DON'T WANT TO OVER IN DATE INUNDATE, UM, ONE PERSON WITH ME AND THEN ALL THE OTHER, UH, UH, NEIGHBORS.
SO YOU HAVE REACHED OUT TO THE COUNCIL MEMBER? YES.
COMMISSIONER IS ANYONE ELSE QUESTIONS FOR MS. LEWIS? COMMISSIONER ROSENBERG, UH, I JUST WANNA MAKE IT CLEAR WE DON'T HAVE ANY APPROVAL OF WHETHER OR NOT THE APARTMENTS COMES OR NOT.
THEY'RE ASKING FOR A REDUCTION IN PARKING SPACES.
SO ALL WE ARE DOING IS SAYING YES, WE THINK THERE'S A VALID REASON FOR FEWER PARKING SPOTS.
BUT THE REQUEST IS NOT WHETHER OR NOT THE APARTMENTS COME.
AND I JUST WANT YOU TO REALIZE IT'S BEYOND OUR SCOPE.
YOU DIDN'T SAY THE APARTMENTS WERE A FIT FOR YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD.
AND UNFORTUNATELY THE APARTMENT AND THE APARTMENT, I UNDERSTAND WE CAN'T CONTRIBUTE TO THAT OKAY.
ANYONE ELSE? I, I WOULD JUST SAY I'M LIKE, COMMISSIONER ROSENBERG SAID THERE'S NOT MUCH I CAN DO ABOUT WHO'S MOVING THERE, THE CRIME, BUT THE OVERFLOW PARKING WOULD BE A CONCERN OF THE COMMISSION.
WHERE WILL THESE EXTRA 20, 30, 40 CARS PARK IF THEY'RE NEEDED? AND THERE'S, YOU'RE SAYING THERE'S NO SPACE ON ALAMEDA GENOA, THEY'RE NOT GONNA GO OVER INTO YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD.
THAT'S OUR BIGGEST CONCERN IS IF IN FACT THEY DO HAVE 200 CARS, WHERE ARE THEY GONNA PUT THEM? WHERE THERE'S NO CITY RIGHT OF WAY ANYWHERE TO PUT THEM.
WE MIGHT FOCUS ON THAT ARGUMENT.
ALRIGHT, MS. LEWIS, THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH FOR COMING THIS AFTERNOON.
MY NEXT SPEAKER IS DEBORAH HAYES.
UH, AND THAT WAS MY ARGUMENT EXACTLY,
UM, I WAS BORN AND RAISED OUT IN THAT AREA.
MY FAMILY'S OWNED PROPERTY IN THAT AREA SINCE 1939.
AND I BELIEVE IN THE PAST THAT ALAMEDA GENOA FROM 2 88 ALL THE WAY OVER TO TELEPHONE ROAD OR HIGHWAY 35, UM, WAS ON THE BOOKS TO BE WIDENED BECAUSE IT IS WIDENED ON THE OTHER SIDE OF 2 88 AND ON THE OTHER SIDE OF 45.
SO THAT LITTLE STRETCH IN THERE IS VERY NARROW.
IF YOU'VE DRIVEN OUT THERE AT ALL, YOU DRIVE AT YOUR OWN RISK.
I'LL JUST PUT IT THAT WAY ON ALAMEDA, GENOA, PEMBROKE STREET IS A VERY NARROW STREET.
WHERE ARE THESE PARKING SPACES? WHERE ARE THESE PEOPLE GONNA PARK? UH, WE HAVE A, I DON'T KNOW IF THAT'S UP STILL.
UM, PEMBROKE COMES OFF OF, UM, IF YOU'RE COMING DOWN CULLEN AND YOU TURN RIGHT ON ALAMEDA, GENOA, THERE IS A FORK.
THERE IS A DIRT YARD THERE THAT IS, UM, A SANDPIT AND THEY RUN, UH, DUMP TRUCKS ALL DAY LONG IN A CIRCLE THIS WAY.
SO IF YOU GET TO THAT CORNER, OKAY, THERE'S DUMP TRUCKS COMING AND GOING, TURNING LEFT AND RIGHT.
AND I WOULD FEAR FOR THE PEOPLE THAT ARE LIVING THERE, HONESTLY, AND MUCH LESS THE RESIDENTS.
UM, WE HAVE NEIGHBORS THAT HAVE LITTLE CHILDREN RUNNING AROUND THERE.
THEY CAN'T RIDE THEIR BIKES ANYMORE, UM, BECAUSE OF THESE DUMP TRUCKS.
SO TO INCREASE THE TRAFFIC FLOW THERE IS A CONCERN, A BIG ONE.
UH, SO MY QUESTION TO THE PLANNING COMMITTEE WOULD BE IF THEY DO THIS KIND OF THING, ARE THEY GONNA WIDEN THAT? I MEAN A GENOA, ARE THEY GONNA PUT A TRAFFIC LIGHT THERE TO CONTROL ANY KIND OF TRAFFIC? OH,
UH, QUESTIONS FOR OUR SPEAKER? MS. HAYES, ANYONE? NO.
THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH FOR COMING.
I'M ALSO SHOWING THREE OTHER SPEAKERS WHO'VE SIGNED UP.
NANCY FIRST, UH, THEY ARE NOT HERE TODAY.
SO I'LL GO WITH YOU MS. HAYES.
SO FIRST MOTON, ALAN MOTEN AND LANDIA.
[01:05:01]
YOU'D STATE YOUR NAME FOR THE RECORD, PLEASE.ALAN, ALAN MOTEN AND I, I SUPPORT WHAT MY NEIGHBOR SAID.
AND I HAVE A QUESTION ALONG 2 88 GOING SOUTH AND NORTH.
AND, AND BY THE WAY, GOOD AFTERNOON TO ALL OF YOU.
UM, THERE'S, THERE'S, THERE'S A WHOLE FIELD OF LAND AND I'M WONDERING IF I HAD TO START, WHY CAN'T THEY BUILD ALONG 2 88 AND BUILD PARKING VARIANCES THERE AS OPPOSED TO DROPPING IT RIGHT IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD? THAT'S MY QUESTION.
I'M AFRAID THAT'S NOT A QUESTION WE CAN ANSWER.
BUT IT'S WORTHY OF, OF DISCUSSION, I WOULD SAY YEAH.
THERE'S A LOT OF LAND OUT THERE SURE.
UM, FOR, FOR, FOR, FOR PROGRESS.
MR. ANY QUESTIONS FOR MR. MOTON? ALRIGHT, SIR.
THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH FOR COMING OUT TODAY.
IS MR. LANDIA AVAILABLE? HE WILL NOT BE SPEAKING TODAY.
UM, THAT IS ALL OUR SPEAKER SIGNED UP FOR THIS ITEM.
I DON'T HAVE ANYONE ELSE LISTED.

IF THERE ARE NO QUESTIONS, IS THERE A MOTION? MOTION? BALDWIN BALDWIN, SECOND SIGLER.

THE SITE IS TWO BLOCKS EAST OF A DESIGNATED MARKET BASED PARKING AREA AND IS FOUR BLOCKS FROM THE TRI RAPID TRANSIT SYSTEM.
THE SITE IS ALSO A BLOCK WEST OF METRO, A METRO BUS ROUTE ALONG CRAWFORD AND AROUND THE BLOCK FROM ANOTHER ON ELGIN.
THE SITE IS CLOSE TO NEW PROTECTED
[01:10:01]
MULTI-USE PATHS ALONG CAROLINA AND AUSTIN STREET STAFF NOTES.WHILE THE SITE IS NOT TECHNICALLY WITHIN A MARKET-BASED PARKING AREA, IT EXHIBITS MANY SIMILAR CHARACTERISTICS TO JUSTIFY A REDUCTION OF THE PARKING STANDARD.
STAFF ALSO NOTES THAT BOTH A BUDDING STREETS ALLOW FOR OFF STREET PARKING ALONG BOTH BLOCKS AND OBSERVE AMPLE PARKING AVAILABLE.
THIS OBSERVATION IS SUPPORTED BY A 2018 DEPARTMENT ANALYSIS SHOWING AVAILABLE ON-STREET PARKING IN THE AREA AND THE AVAILABILITY OF PARKING SPOTS DURING PEAK HOURS.
THE APPLICANT HAS REQUESTED A SECOND DEFERRAL TO CONSIDER REVISIONS TO THEIR APPLICATION.
THESE INCLUDE REMOVING THE REMAINING CURB CUT ALONG ROSALIE OR OPTING INTO THE TOD STANDARDS.
THE LATTER WOULD ALLOW THEM, UH, 50% REDUCTION TOWARDS THE PARKING REQUIREMENT.
STAFF HAS ALSO REQUESTED A PARKING ANALYSIS FROM THE APPLICANT SHOWING THE PROPOSED THAT THE PROPOSED PARKING IS SUFFICIENT.
STAFF RECOMMENDS DEFERRAL PER THE APPLICANT'S REQUEST.
STAFF HAS RECEIVED NUMEROUS WRITTEN COMMENTS FROM MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC OBJECTING LARGELY DUE TO LIMITED PARKING IN THE PROPOSED HOUSING TYPE AND SUPPORT, CITING THE AREA'S NUMEROUS MULTIMODAL TRANSPORTATION ASSETS.
THIS CONCLUDES OUR PRESENTATION.
ALRIGHT, LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, WE ARE ON, UH, ROMANS SIX.
AND OUR FIRST SPEAKER IS, IS IT MARILYN CHAN? YES.
MS. CHAN, IF YOU WOULD COME FORWARD, STATE YOUR NAME FOR THE RECORD, YOU'LL HAVE TWO MINUTES.
UM, I'M HERE REQUESTING THAT THE COMMISSION DENY THE REQUEST.
UM, THE COMMUNITY HAS COME TOGETHER.
D ASKING TO DENY THIS VARIANCE REQUEST.
73 ARE UNIQUE AND THEY ARE IN MIDTOWN.
I DON'T KNOW IF I HAVE ACCESS TO DOCUMENT CAMERA.
PLEASE DON'T GIVE US ONE MINUTE.
UM, I DO HAVE COPIES OF THE ACTUAL PETITION.
I DON'T KNOW IF I HAVE TIME TO READ IT.
UM, BUT THE PROPERTY IS LOCATED IN THE SOUTHEAST CORNER, BUT IT IS AWAY FROM WHAT IS CONSIDERED THE MIXED USE AREA OF MIDTOWN.
WE ARE FOUR BLOCKS AWAY FROM ELGIN.
I MEAN, MS. CHAN, I HATE TO INTERRUPT YOU, BUT I'M, I'M AFRAID WE WON'T BE ABLE TO HEAR YOU IF YOU'RE NOT ON THE MIC.
IT IS FOUR BLOCKS AWAY FROM 2 88.
THERE IS CONGESTION COMING IN FROM THAT AREA.
WE ARE ONE BLOCK AWAY FROM FIRE STATION SEVEN AUSTIN AND LA BRANCH.
IT GOES INTO DOWNTOWN, UM, AS WELL AS LE BRANCH.
WE HAVE TRAFFIC COMING IN FROM DOWNTOWN.
UH, THERE IS A BIKE LANE THAT IS BEING USED.
UM, LE BRANCH IS TWO TWO LANES, BUT ONE LANE IS USED FOR THE BUS STOP.
UM, IT, WHILE THE PRESENTATION BEFORE ME SHOWED THAT THERE IS AMPLE PARKING, THERE IS NOT AMPLE PARKING.
UM, THE PROBLEM WITH ROSALIE IS THAT IT IS A TWO-WAY STREET, BUT WITH PARKING ON EITHER SIDE, IT FORCES A ONE-WAY STREET WITH TWO-WAY TRAFFIC, THEREBY REQUIRING PEOPLE TO IGNORE THE ONE.
WE ARE GOING TO BE GOING DIRECTLY HEAD ON TO EACH OTHER, WHICH IS ALREADY HAPPENING ON ANITA.
I AM ASKING FOR, UM, A MEETING WITH, UM, THE PLANNING DEPARTMENT AND WITH THE DEVELOPER.
DO YOU WANNA WRAP UP? DO YOU HAVE A CLOSING STATEMENT? UH, AGAIN, WE HAVE SIGNIFICANT FIGURES OF THOSE THAT, UM, I TRIED TO, TO ENUMERATE EXACTLY THE, UM, THE STREET ADDRESSES OVER HERE.
YOU CAN SEE THAT THE COMMUNITY DOES NOT IN ITS CURRENT FORM.
COMMISSIONER BALDWIN, I I'M JUST A REALIST.
ARE YOU OKAY IF THE BUILDING ITSELF GOT TWO STORIES TALLER AND YOU HAD SOME PARKING GARAGE AT THE BOTTOM? NOW WE HAVE SOME SEVEN, EIGHT STORY.
WELL, THAT'S, THAT'S THING TOWERING OVER THE BUILDING.
WELL, THAT'S, AND YOU MAKE A FAIR POINT.
THE PROBLEM IS THE LOT IS TOO SMALL.
AND EVEN THE APPLICANT HAS REFERRED TO ITSELF, IT'S A CORNER LOT AND IT'S, IT'S LOCATION.
IT IS LIMITING THIS AREA, THE PLOT.
BUT THAT'S, THEY'LL DO BE TOO MUCH.
JUST SO WE'RE, I MEAN, I'M, I'M FROM THAT NEIGHBORHOOD.
I, I'M JUST A REALIST OF WHAT WILL HAPPEN.
IF WE DENY IT, THEN IT JUST GETS TALLER.
WELL, WE'D LIKE TO TALK TO THE, THE TOWN HOME TOWN HOMES WOULD BE MORE APPROPRIATE.
THIS IS A COMMUNITY OF TWO OVER 200 TOWN HOMES.
THIS IS GONNA BE LIKE A, IT, IT JUST DOESN'T FIT FOR THE NEIGHBORHOOD.
BUT, BUT THE BO THE BUT THE BOTTOM LINE IN MAYA DEFENSE IS 40 UNITS CANNOT PLUS VISITORS, PLUS RIDESHARE, PLUS EVERYTHING ELSE THAT COMES WITH,
[01:15:01]
WITH THIS NATURE OF AN A COMPLEX, THE STREETS CANNOT SUPPORT THE DEMAND.BUT THANK YOU, SIR FOR YOUR QUESTION.
UH, COMMISSIONER CULBERT? YES.
UM, SO CAN YOU TELL ME ABOUT HOW THE HCC PARKING IMPACTS THIS AREA? DOES THAT, DO PEOPLE PARK DOWN THAT? NO, THAT'S ACROSS FROM ELGIN.
YOU KNOW, AND I DON'T KNOW THAT THAT'S A PUBLIC FOR US.
ANY MORE QUESTIONS FOR OUR SPEAKER? MS. CHAN, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR BEING HERE TODAY.
ALRIGHT, OUR NEXT SPEAKER IS KEVIN HENDERSON.
MR. HENDERSON, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR COMING TODAY.
I REMIND YOU THAT OUR RULES ARE, YOU SPOKE LAST TIME FOR TWO MINUTES, SO YOU'LL HAVE ONE MINUTE TODAY, PLUS OF COURSE.
ANY QUESTIONS? IF THERE ARE ANY? ALRIGHT, GO AHEAD, PLEASE.
UH, GOOD AFTERNOON, MR. CHAIR AND THE MEMBERS OF THE COMMISSION.
I AM A, UH, I HAVE AN ARCHITECTURE DEGREE.
I'VE BEEN IN THE FIELD FOR 32 YEARS.
I'M A 25 YEAR RESIDENT OF MIDTOWN.
I'M THE VAST MAJORITY OF THE SURROUNDING NEIGHBORS VEHEMENTLY OPPOSE THE GRANTING OF THIS PARKING VARIANCE IN RESPONSE TO THEIR QUESTION NUMBER TWO, THAT APPLICANT QUESTION NUMBER TWO, THAT THE GRANTING OF THIS WILL NOT, IS NOT THE RESULT OF A HARDSHIP IMPOSED OR CREATED BY THE APPLICANT.
IN FACT, THE A THE APPLICANT IN FACT HAS CREATED AN ARTIFICIAL HARDSHIP FOR THEMSELVES BY DESIGNING A 43 UNIT APARTMENT COMPLEX THAT IS GROSS FLAT SCALE FOR THE LOT IN THE SURROUNDING NEIGHBORHOOD.
IF THE APPLICANT SIMPLY DESIGNED A COMMUNITY OF TOWN HOMES, WHICH THE RESIDENTS OVERWHELMINGLY ARE IN FAVOR OF, THEN THE HARDSHIPS SIMPLY WOULD NOT EXIST.
AND THEIR ANSWER TO QUESTION NUMBER ONE THAT, OKAY, CAN YOU WRAP UP? SORRY, CAN YOU WRAP UP? IT'S TOUGH.
UH, THERE'S, THERE'S SO MUCH HERE.
UM, I DON'T KNOW WHERE TO START.
WELL, I KNOW WHERE YOU NEED TO END IN THE, SO THAT, THAT, UM, SO ANYWAY, YOU'RE SAYING IT DOESN'T MEET THE CRITERION FOR OUR VARIANCE IS WHAT YOU'RE BASICALLY SAYING.
IT IT DOES NOT, IT'S NOT IN A WALKABLE NEIGHBORHOOD.
UM, HERE'S ANOTHER, THEIR, THEIR LOCATION, UH, IS THE FURTHEST POINT FROM THE TWO NEAREST METRO LINES.
IF, UH, IF YOU CAN SEE, I'VE, I'VE CIRCLED THAT LITTLE PINK DOT OUTSIDE THE CIRCLE THERE.
AND THOSE ARE THE TWO NEAREST METRO LINES.
IT'S NOTABLE, MR. ALL RIGHT, LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, DO WE HAVE QUESTIONS FOR MR. HENDERSON? UH, I CREATED THAT MAP SHOWING ALL THE GREEN ARE ALL THE SINGLE FAMILY TOWN HOMES AND THE PINK IS THEIR DEVELOPMENT.
IT STANDS OUT LIKE A SORE THUMB.
IT DOES NOT FIT THE FABRIC OF THIS NEIGHBORHOOD.
IT GOES AGAINST ANYTHING, ANY COMMON SENSE, ANY, UH, UH, UH, STANDARDS OF, UH, GOOD, SMART URBAN DESIGN.
NO QUESTIONS FOR MR. HENDERSON.
ALRIGHT, THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME.
I, I ALSO HAVE SPEAKERS, SHTA MANN, MS. MANN, UM, KELLY REYNOLDS.
AND LASTLY, IS IT DARCY? IT LOOKS LIKE LERO.
THEY'RE NOT IN ATTENDANCE TODAY.
ALL RIGHT, LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, WE'RE ON ITEM ROMAN SIX, UH, CONSIDERATION OF THE AUST STREET PARKING VARIANCE AT 1414 ROSALIE STREET, WHICH IS RECOMMENDED FOR DEFERRAL.
ARE THERE QUESTIONS FOR STAFF DURING THE DEFERRAL PERIOD? I HAVE A QUESTION, PLEASE, MR. BALLER, DO WE KNOW IF THIS PROPERTY IS, UH, OWNED BY THE DEVELOPER THAT'S PLANNING THIS? OR ARE THEY JUST TRYING TO REPLAY IT BEFORE THEY PURCHASE IT? WHICH HAPPENS A LOT OF TIMES.
I'M JUST, DO WE KNOW, IS THE OWNER TRULY THE ONE TRYING TO DO THIS OR ARE THEY TRYING TO SELL IT TO MR. GARZA'S PARTNERS WHO ARE GONNA DEVELOP IT LATER OR SOMETHING, YOU KNOW, SOMETHING LIKE THAT.
YEAH, I, I DON'T HAVE AN ANSWER IF IT'S SPECULATIVE OR IF IT'S CURRENT.
COULD WE FIGURE THAT OUT? SURE, CERTAINLY.
COMMISSIONER ROSENBERG, DID YOU HAVE A QUESTION OR A COMMENT? I DO.
UM, BUT THEY WERE GONNA PRESENTATION MODE, SO I DON'T KNOW IF, IS THERE SOMETHING Y'ALL ARE GONNA SHOW? PRESENTATION MODE? THANKS
UM, I'LL RECUSE MYSELF FROM THE VOTE.
UM, NEXT TIME I OWN A PROPERTY.
I OWN SEVERAL PROPERTIES NEAR HERE.
UM, BUT I DO WANNA SPEAK FROM SOMEONE WHO'S BEEN IN MIDTOWN FOR OVER 30 YEARS, SERVED ON THE MANAGEMENT DISTRICT, DID URBAN PLANNING, UM, I GO WAY BACK TO LONG TIME AGO.
BOUGHT HISTORIC BUILDINGS, REDEVELOPED THEM.
THERE'S A LOT OF COMMERCIAL SITES.
[01:20:01]
TOWN HOMES WERE THERE.THE VISION HAS ALWAYS BEEN FOR PEDESTRIAN URBAN NEIGHBORHOOD TO COME AND GROW MORE PEOPLE ON THE STREET.
THE MORE DIVERSE THE ENVIRONMENT THE NEIGHBORHOOD GETS.
UM, AND THE REASON I'LL DEFER, I MEAN, EXCUSE MYSELF, IS I WOULD LOVE THIS MANY MORE CUSTOMERS AT MY WINE BAR DOWN THE STREET.
SO, I MEAN, THIS IS WHAT WE'VE BEEN WORKING ON THE ENTIRE TIME.
I'VE BEEN ON MIDTOWN MANAGEMENT DISTRICT INVOLVED WITH THE CITY, UM, CHAIRED, YOU KNOW, MAIN STREET COALITION AND ALL THAT STUFF.
SO YOU'RE HEARING FROM A SELECT GROUP, BUT THERE IS A LARGE GROUP THAT HAVE BEEN WORKING IN MIDTOWN FOR A VERY LONG TIME THAT THIS IS WHAT WE WERE HOPING FOR FROM THE BEGINNING.
ALRIGHT, THANK YOU COMMISSIONER.
ANY OTHER QUESTIONS OF STAFF AT THIS POINT DURING THE DEFERRAL PERIOD? ALRIGHT THEN, UM, WE ARE ON ROMAN SIX, UH, EXCUSE ME, ROMAN.
YEAH, ROMAN SIX CONSIDERATION OFF STREET PARKING VARIANCE FOR 14.
ROSALIE, WE HAVE A RECOMMENDATION TO DEFER AND I REMIND STAFF THAT COMMISSIONER ROSENBERG IS RECUSING HIMSELF ON THIS VOTE.
ALL THOSE IN FAVOR OF DEFERRAL SAY AYE.

THE MOTION PASSES BESIDE HIM IS DEFERRED.
MAKE WAIT, I THOUGHT SOMEONE MADE A MOTION.
LADIES AND GENTLEMEN'S PARTNER.

[VII. Consideration of an Off-Street Parking Variance at 1201 Westheimer Road (Geoff Butler) ]
IT.ALRIGHT, WE'LL NOW MOVE ON TO ROMAN SEVEN CONSIDERATION OF OFF STREET PARKING VARIANCE AT 1201 WESTHEIMER ROAD.
MR. BUTLER, THIS ITEM WAS ALSO DEFERRED AT THE PREVIOUS MEETING PER THE COUNCIL MEMBER'S REQUEST.
THE SITE IS LOCATED WITHIN HOUSTON'S CORPORATE LIMIT ALONG WESTHEIMER WEST OF MONTROSE IN NORTH OF ALABAMA.
THE APPLICANT PROPOSES TO RENOVATE AN EXISTING SHOPPING CENTER AND THEATER COMPLEX AND IS REQUESTING A VARIANCE TO PROVIDE 101 PARKING SPACES AS OPPOSED TO REQUIRED.
203 STAFF IS IN SUPPORT OF THE REQUEST.
THE SITE CONSISTS OF A CIRCA 1930S NEIGHBORHOOD THEATER AND A 1970 SHOPPING CENTER.
THE APPLICANT PROPOSES TO RENOVATE THE STRUCTURES FOR A VARIETY OF RESTAURANTS AND NEIGHBORHOOD AMENITIES.
THE APPLICANT INTENDS TO PURSUE A TENANT MIX OF VARYING HOURS OF OPERATION IN ORDER TO OPTIMALLY UTILIZE EXISTING PARKING.
THE SITE IS WITHIN A COMMUNITY WITH NUMEROUS TRANSPORTATION OPTIONS, INCLUDING METRO BUS SERVICE, MULTI-USE PATHS, AND A WELL-CONNECTED STREET SYSTEM FOR OPTIMAL TRAFFIC DISPERSION.
THE SITE IS ALSO WITHIN WALKING DISTANCE TO A PUBLIC PARKING LOT ON THE NORTH SIDE OF WESTHEIMER.
THE EXISTING STRUCTURES REPRESENT A FORMIDABLE BARRIER TO MEETING THE PARKING STANDARD FOR THE PROPOSED USES.
PROVIDING THE REQUIRED PARKING ON SITE WOULD REQUIRE DEMOLITION OF ONE OR PART OF THE STRUCTURES, INCLUDING A THEATER OF LOCAL SIGNIFICANCE.
IN ADDITION, THE NEIGHBORHOOD'S DENSITY AND MULTIMODAL CAPACITY WARRANT FLEXIBLE APPLICATION OF THE PARKING REQUIREMENTS STAFF CAN REASONABLY CONCLUDE THAT A SIGNIFICANT PORTION OF THE APPLICANT'S EMPLOYEES AND CUSTOMERS WILL GET TO THE SITE BY MEANS OTHER THAN PRIVATE AUTOMOBILE STAFF FINDS THE REQUEST TO BE CONSISTENT WITH SOUND PUBLIC POLICY AND RECOMMENDS APPROVAL.
WE HAVE RECEIVED NUMEROUS WRITTEN COMMENTS WITH THOSE OPPOSED, NOTING THE EXISTING LACK OF PARKING AND THOSE IN FAVOR OF CITING THE NEIGHBORHOOD'S WALKABILITY SAFETY CONCERNS OVER REQUIRING MORE PARKING AND THE SUCCESS OF SIMILAR DEVELOPMENT.
ALRIGHT, LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, WE'RE ON 1201 WESTHEIMER ROAD.
I HAVE TWO SPE I HAVE A NUMBER OF SPEAKERS.
THE FIRST BEING CAN, CAN I ASK A QUICK QUESTION? YES.
COMMISSIONER VER BLAND, UM, DID THE COUNCIL PERSON WHO UH, ASKED US TO DEFER, REMOVE THAT REQUEST? YES, THEY'RE OKAY WITH DID OFFER RECOMMENDATION, BUT THEY, THEY JUST WANTED A DEFERRAL FOR MORE PUBLIC COMMENT.
ALRIGHT, WE'LL MOVE ON TO OUR FIRST SPEAKER.
I SPOKE LAST TIME SIR, GO AHEAD.
I JUST HAVE A MINUTE THIS TIME.
SO, UH, JUST HIT THE HIGH NOTES REAL QUICK.
AS WE SAID, TOWER THEATER IS HISTORIC.
IT WAS INITIALLY A THEATER NEXT DOOR TO WHERE CURRENTLY ADAM AND EVE, THE SEX SHOP IS, UH, WAS PREVIOUSLY A SUSHI BAR AND A DINER.
BUT WE DON'T RECEIVE CREDIT FOR THAT UNDERNEATH THE CURRENT GUIDELINES.
ADDITIONALLY TO, UH, THE THEATER PREVIOUSLY HAD 500 SEATS.
IT WAS SUCCESSFUL DURING IT TIME THERE.
WE DO NOT GET CREDIT FOR THAT UNDERNEATH THE CURRENT GUIDELINES.
THEN ALSO TOO, THERE WAS AN ICE CREAM SHOP NEXT DOOR, UH, AT COPY.COM AS WELL.
YOU KNOW, WE THINK THESE KIND OF WHAT WE DON'T WANNA PASS JUDGMENT ON HOW ANYONE DO, ANYONE DOES BUSINESS.
WE THINK WE'RE KIND OF BRINGING THE HIGHEST AND BEST USES TO THIS URBAN SITE HERE.
UH, AS JEFF NOTED, THE SITE IS HIGHLY WALKABLE WITH THE METRO 82 LINE, ONE OF THE HIGHEST UTILIZED METRO LINES IN THE CITY.
AND THEN ADDITIONALLY, YOU KNOW, THROUGH OUR KIND OF THE MILLIONS OF DOLLARS WE'RE SPENDING ON RENOVATING THE CENTER, NOT ADDING ANY ADDITIONAL SQUARE FOOTAGE AND JUST KIND OF BRINGING IT BACK TO ITS FORMER GLORY IS REALLY KIND OF OUR INTENT WITH THE SITE HERE WITH KINDA THESE FAMILY
[01:25:01]
FRIENDLY AND NEIGHBORHOOD BUSINESSES.MR. PETERSON, YOU'RE THE APPLICANT? YES SIR.
WELL, I, I REALLY DON'T HAVE MUCH TO SAY.
YOU KNOW, I THINK OUR FIRM LOCALLY NEXT DOOR WITH KIND OF MONTROSE COLLECTIVE AND WHAT WE'VE DONE FOR THE NEIGHBORHOOD, YOU KNOW, WE WANNA CONTINUE TO KIND OF BE AS BENEFICIAL AS WE CAN TO THE NEIGHBORHOODS OF THE RESIDENTS.
AND WHAT JEFF KIND OF CAN'T REALLY TALK ABOUT OR DIDN'T TALK ABOUT WAS THAT, YOU KNOW, WE RECEIVED NUMEROUS OF UNSOLICITED LETTERS OF SUPPORT, WHICH, UH, THEY WERE, WE'RE QUITE PROUD OF AS A DEVELOPER.
SO I THINK IT'S, UH, I THINK WHAT WE'RE DOING IS GONNA BE GREAT FOR THE NEIGHBORHOOD.
ALRIGHT, THANK YOU MR. PETERSON.
QUESTIONS? UH, COMMISSIONER COVAR, UH, REFRESH MY MEMORY.
HOW MANY ACCESSIBLE PARKING SPACES ARE YOU PROVIDING? ACCESSIBLE, WHEELCHAIR ACCESSIBLE? YES.
OH, OFF THE TOP OF MY HEAD, I CANNOT REMEMBER, MA'AM.
I'D HAVE TO LOOK AT THE SITE PLAN.
UM, I WOULD PROPOSE, I KNOW YOU'RE ASKING FOR A REDUCTION.
MANY PEOPLE DISABILITIES CAN'T UTILIZE BIKES AND THINGS LIKE THAT.
IN ORDER TO BE ABLE TO, TO UM, VISIT, YOU KNOW, THESE, THESE PLACES.
SO I WOULD ASK THAT YOU CONSIDER ADDING SOME OF THOSE OR MAYBE WE MAKE IT PART OF THE MOTION, BUT, UM, YEAH, YEAH.
SORRY, I JUST WANTED TO GIVE YOU A CLARIFICATION ON THAT.
WE'LL MAKE SURE THAT WE MEET A DA COMPATIBILITY, UM, AND WE'LL, WE'LL BE AS PART OF OUR SUBMISSION.

UM, I'M ON BEHALF OF THE, THE APPLICANT AND UM, WE'LL MAKE SURE THAT WE MEET ALL A DA REQUIREMENTS AND WHICH WILL BE SOME ADDITIONS OF SOME, UH, ADDITIONAL A DA PARKING SPOTS AS DRAWN.
RIGHT NOW IT APPEARS THERE ARE SIX ACCESSIBLE SPACES.
SO, UM, FOR CLARIFICATION, IS THAT WITH THE ORIGINAL, WHAT YOU WOULD'VE BEEN REQUIRED TO PROVIDE ORIGINALLY AND THEN THAT PERCENTAGE FROM THAT ORIGINAL REQUIREMENT OR THE PERCENTAGE FROM THE REDUCED REQUIREMENT OF THE ORIGINAL OR OF THE, THE EXISTING NUMBER? THAT IS, THAT IS THERE.
THE CURRENT PARKING SPACES THAT ARE CURRENTLY THERE.
THE REQUIREMENT IS STANDARD, SO IT'S 2 0 3, IT'S BASED ON THE 2 0 3.
SO IT'S BASED ON THE REDUCED NUMBER? BASED ON THE REDUCED NUMBER.
I'M SORRY, IT IS BASED ON THE JEFF CLARIFIED FOR ME ON THE 2 0 3 NUMBER.
BUT WE'RE GONNA HAVE TO MEET THOSE REQUIREMENTS REGARDLESS.
UM, WITHIN, WITHIN A DA SO WE'LL, WE'LL ENSURE THAT WE HAVE THOSE, WE'LL HAVE THOSE, UM, BUILT THERE FOR SURE.
SO JEFF, IT IS BASED ON THE LARGER NUMBER THAT THE REQUIRED NUMBER? YES, CORRECT.
UM, MR. PETERSON, YOU'RE FINISHED.
SO LET ME GO BACK SINCE MR. DIETRICH CAME UP.
SO QUESTIONS FOR MR. PETERSON OR MR. DIETRICH? OKAY, WE'RE GOOD.
ALRIGHT, SO, UM, I ALSO HAVE SIGNED UP TO SPEAK.
NONE OF THOSE PEOPLE ARE HERE TO SPEAK.
WHAT WAS THE RECOMMENDATION ON THIS ITEM BY STAFF? UH, RECOMMEND APPROVAL.
COMMISSIONERS QUESTIONS? DISCUSSION.
MOTION IN A MINUTE, SIR?
ALRIGHT, IS THERE ANY DISCUSSION OR ANY QUESTIONS AT ALL? ALL RIGHT THEN.
