He would like to provide food, entertainment, and alcohol locally sO that patrons would not need to drive out of town for such activities after midnight.  Chair Ruiz asked why they need the extended hours.  Mr. Rodriguez replied that sales during the extended hours would bei financially beneficial. Also, staying open later would allow locals to stay in town instead of driving out of town for more  entertainment late at night. Chair Ruiz asked for any other speakers.  Fernand Gutierrez, of 273 Old Luling Road, said that he is in favor of the sports bar, and agrees that it would provide another option for entertainment in town versus driving out oftown. Edgar Gutierrez, of 273 Old Luling Road, said that hei isone of the partners ofthe proposed sports bar business. He believes it would provide good entertainment for Lockhart, and would be the Mark Silverman, of 8808 Taylor Road in Austin, said he and his wife own the building just east of the subject property.

He: said he opposed approval oft the specific use permit. Susan Silverman, of 8808 Taylor Road in Austin, said she opposed allowing the bar to remain open for extended hours. She expressed her appreciation to the Commission for limiting the hours of the previous specific use permit for a bar. She said that since then there has been no vandalism, trash, or the smell of urine on her property. She has been able to keep her building Stephanie Bradley said she owns the subject property and, until recently, operated the previous bar, Bruno's, that had to close due to Covid restrictions. She said she had no problems or violations when she ran Bruno's, although there were problemswhent the! building was occupied by the Risky Business bar. Shel believed that her newi tenants were good citizens of Lockhart and wanted to run a respectable establishment. After running Bruno's and closing at midnight she saw firsthand the amount of money lost and the disappointment in those having to leave at midnight to find other plaçes to go. She believes extending thel hours would give folks who work in town and get off at 10 p.m. or 11 p.m. a place to relax and unwind instead of going out of Mr. Rodriguez spoke again and said he agrees there is more criminal mischief after midnight and understands that bad things could happen.

Colorado Street (US 183) LEGAL DESCRIPTION: Metes & bounds SIZE OF PROPERTY: 11.011 acres EXISTING USE OF PROPERTY: Vacant  LAND USE PLAN DESIGNATION: General-Heavy Commercial, Industry  ANALYSIS OF ISSUES  REASON FOR REQUESTED ZONING CHANGE: The applicant proposes commercial uses at the front oft the property, and multifamily residential at the rear. The depth of the commercial portion will be slightly greater than the current area: zoned CHB and, of course, RHD: zoning would replace the existing AO-zoned  area for the multifamily portion. AREA CHARACTERISTICS:  Existing Use  Zoning CHB, IL  Future Land Use Plan General-Heavy Commercial,  North East South West  Commercial, Vacant, Industrial  Industry  Vacant, Bar Commercial, Vacant Apartments  IL, CHB, AO Industry CHB,AO RHD  General-heavy Commercial, High Density Residential, General-Heavy Commercial  Industry  TRANSITION OF ZONING DISTRICTS: The requested CHB zoning is essentially already existing, but just covers a slightly different area. Although there is no existing RHD zoning abutting the subject property, there is RHD zoning directly across Colorado Street where the Southpark' Village apartments are located. ADEQUACY OF INFRASTRUCTURE: Both water and wastewater utilities are available and adequate.  Vehicular access will be from Colorado Street.    POTENTIAL NEIGHBORHOOD IMPACT: The proposed commercial portion of the site is already zoned for ita and will undoubtedly create more traffic and other typical impacts of commercial land uses when developed. The change from AO to RHDI behind the commercial areawillobviously allowagreater density ofdevelopment up to 12 units per acre, which will also create additionaltraffic. Withthel bordering gzoning classifications being CHB, IL, and AO (future industrial behind Walmart), the proposed multifamily development would not impose any greater negative potential impacts than industry, which is the property'sf future land use designation and could involve large trucks, bright night-lighting, and noise. CONSISTENCY WITH COMPREHENSIVE PLAN: The proposed CHB zoning classification for the front portion oft the site is consistent with the Land Use Plan map designation oft future General-Heavy Commercial. The proposed High Density Residential classification is not consistent with the future land use designation of Industry fori the rear portion of the site. However, the existing AO designation is also not consistent with ALTERNATIVE CLASSIFICATIONS: The only alternative would be a zoning classification that is consistent the Land Use Plan future land use designation of Industry. That would be either IL or IH zoning.  the Land Use Plan.  RESPONSE TO NOTIFICATION: None, as of the date oft this report.  STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of the proposed CHB and RHD zoning  classifications.    ZONING CHANGE APPLICATION  CITY OF  512/398-3461 . FAX/512/398-3833 P.O. Box 239 .

Sincerely, -DocuSignedb by: Russell Switle -C9ABF1787C28427. Russell Smith    TO: Planning and Zoning Commission FROM: Dan Gibson, City Planner D SUBJECT: Agenda item #5, Comprehensive Plan  City of Lockhart MEMO  DATE: April9,2021  The City Council is interested in updating the Lockhart 2020 Comprehensive Plan. We looked at it about ten years ago and decided that the text was still relevant, but the land use and thoroughfare plan maps needed updating. So that was done, along with the creation ofa new sidewalk and trail map, in 2011. Ifa major update is undertaken, it would involve retaining a consulting firm to do the bulk of the work since staff is already at our limit in terms of workload. Ihave been asked to list specific areas in the comprehensive plan, if any, that are out of date enough to require revision, or to identify subject areas that should be added which are currently not in the plan document. That report, including any recommendation you would like to make with regard to updating the plan at this time, will then be provided to the City Council. Therefore, I am asking for the Commission's input for what to include in the report. I'm not proposing to review the plan page-by-page during the meeting, but would like for you to read as much ofi it as you wish and take notes SO you'll be prepared to provide your suggestions. We can discuss the plan chapter-by-chapter, and if it takes too long for one meeting we'll simply The subject of another possible major project does not change my current priorities, including the adoption of the subdivision regulation amendments and the total rewrite of the zoning ordinance, both of which have been dragging on for far too long. In addition, another critical need is revising our sign ordinance, since much of it is now essentially unenforceable due to the 2015 Supreme Court decision in Reed V. Town of Gilbert, Arizona, that cities could not base the regulation of signs on the message displayed (content neutral). Subsequent interpretations have determined that it is still permissible to distinguish on-premise signs from off-premise signs, but our ordinance contains many other sign classifications based on the type of message that need to be reevaluated. Signs can still be regulated in terms of time, place and manner (size, height, setbacks, etc.). Because it would be a major overhaul, perhaps the new sign regulations could be included in the new zoning ordinance, similar to the parking, screening, appearance, and other standards that are already in that ordinance and which will be  continue this item to the next agenda until we are finished with thereview.  extensively revised.
