Commissioner Oliva moved to approve the July 8, 2020 minutes. Commissioner Arnic seconded, 4. ZC-20-09. Hold a PUBLIC HEARING and consider a request by Blayne Stansberry on behalf of Fermin and Mary Islas for a Zoning Change from RLD Residential Low Density District and CMB Commercial Medium Business District to RHD Residential High Density District on 17.66 acres in the Francis Berry Survey.Abstract No. 2, located at 211 West MLK. Jr Industrial Boulevard. Mr. Gibson explained that the proposed development of the subject property is in conjunction with a new building to be constructed by the Golden Age Home. The development may contain senior living apartments, garden apartments, patio homes, town homes, duplexes, and /or single- family homes. The only zoning district that allows all of these options is the requested RHD Residential High Density District. He pointed out that there is RHD: zoning adjacent to portions of the north and east boundary of the subject property, sO the requested change would expand the current area zoned RHD. It also reduces the area of CMB zoning at the south end along M.L.K. Jr. Industrial Boulevard. Extension of South Medina Street and Sunset Drive consistent with the future thoroughfare plan will be required as the property is developed. A traffic impact study may need to be done as part of the subdivision platting process to determine the extent of upgrades needed for M.L.K. Jr. Industrial Boulevard. The cost of improvements is the responsibility of the subdivider, but the city can contribute because that portion of the street is a Road Impact Fee C.I.P project. The current zoning pattern was established to be consistent with the Future Land Use plan map, and to prevent inappropriate residential zoning in the flight pattern of the airport runway. Building heights will be limited, and extra soundproofing required, especially toward the south end of the subject property. Mr. Gibson said that five letters of opposition were received after the packet was mailed out to the commissioners.  and the motion passed by a voted of7-0.  -1-  Planning and Zoning Commission Regular Meeting 08-12-2020    Chair Ruiz opened the public hearing and asked the applicant to come forward.  Steffen Waltz, of 1301 West 25th Street, Suite, 510, in Austin, said that he and Golden Age Home are partners in the redevelopment of the existing Golden Age Home building and the new development on the subject property. They plan to build a new facility and pursue other residential development on the remaining vacant property for the use of current and future residents of Golden Age Home, in addition to providing other housing options for the community. They wish to make it affordable, and understand the constraints imposed by the nearby airport. He distributed illustrations showing the extensions of South Medina Street and Sunset Drive in Blayne Stansberry, attending by phone, said she was the engineer for project. She explained the illustrations Mr. Waltz submitted, and said they will do everything they can to help with the desired connections while also trying to mitigate the potentially greater traffic along Sunset Drive. Commissioner McBride asked how strong the partnership between Mr. Waltz and Golden Age Mr. Waltz replied that it is pretty much a done deal. They have some unsettled business to Nicole Burnett, of 1205 Rio Vista Court, said she is the Director of Golden Age Home. She had developed a professional relationship with Mr. Waltz and can supports the proposed development plans for the subject property. She confirmed that they have some minor legal details to sort out, but most of it is done. The developer is ready to move forward to help the community and the seniors. They are aware of the traffic and drainage issues surrounding the subject property that will be taken into consideration at the time of development. She mentioned that Golden Age Home has been planning this project since 2016, and they are finally Mr. Waltz confirmed that they are more than willing to comply with all City standards, and even Robert Doane, of 3903 Fairlakes Drive in Dallas, said he is the architect for the Golden Age Home Ray Pfefferkorn, of 1461 Borchert Loop, said he is Vice-President of Golden Age Home, and Chair Ruiz asked for any other speakers in support and, hearing none, he asked if anyone wished Frank Sanchez, of 124 Sunset Drive, said there are a lot of airplanes flying overhead throughout the day every day. He mentioned that storm drainage is poor at the Colorado Street end of Sunset Drive, and he was concerned that additional development would increase drainage problems along Sunset Drive. He said since no improvements have been made to Sunset Drive,  addition to alternatives for access to the new Golden Age Home facility.

Her concerns were drainage problems, noise issues, and that the street itself is in bad shape. She fears the problems would become worse with any new development. She opposed the zoning change. James Garner, of 1302 West Point Place, said that the existing streets are in poor shape. He was not opposed to Golden Age Home constructing a new building, but was concerned about drainage as well as the proposed extensions of South Medina Street and Sunset Drive. He opposed the Fermin Islas, of 1702 Meadow Lane, said that when he purchased the property he was asked by the then City Manage Vance Rodgers to grant the city an easement through the property to help with the future extension of South Medina Street and Sunset Drive, along with a new drainage channel extension to M.L.K. Jr. Industrial Boulevard. There is a traffic light at M.L.K. Jr. Industrial Boulevard and South Colorado Street that provides for safe traffic movement at that intersection. He said the proposed development would be a great opportunity for better senior citizen housing. The developer has agreed to comply with the city's regulations, and will work with City staff to Lozano Ramirez, of 1300 West Point Place, had the same concerns with flooding. He said the streets are narrow with no sidewalks for the children in the neighborhood. He opposed the Mr. Waltz said if the development didn't meet City standards, they would be liable for any negative impacts on the surrounding area, SO it's in their best interest to adhere to all applicable Chair Ruiz asked for any other speakers and, seeing none, he closed the public hearing and asked Mr. Gibson said that staff recommended approval. He acknowledged that there are off-site drainage issues, and that new development is not allowed to make them worse.

Rezoning to CMB would eliminate that restriction, although continued parking of vehicles on the property will still be a violation until the parking area is paved with an all-weather surface as required by the zoning ordinance, unless it is classified as a commercial vehicle storage lot, which can have an alternative surface. The addition of any surface more impervious surface than the natural ground that is there now will trigger compliance with the City's drainage ordinance, which may involve the engineering and construction of a storm-water detention facility. The applicant also owns the two lots south of the subject property at 1019 and 1017 North Commerce Street that contain a nonconforming house and old mobile home, and the triangular parcel adjacent to the west oft those lots at: 1018 North Colorado Street that contains a food trailer and another nonconforming old mobile home  (used for storage).

The potential impacts could include additional traffic, noise, and night lighting that would be incompatible with the adjacent residences. However, commercial use oft the property, including parking, will trigger the requirement for screening at least six feet high along the northern property line because the adjacent property has a residential zoning classification. Screening will not be required along the south and west property lines CONSISTENCY WITH COMPREHENSIVE PLAN: Neither the current RLD zoning of the subject property and the residential property adjacent to the north, nor the CMB zoning of the remainder of the block, are consistent with the Medium Density Residential future land use designation shown on the Lockhart 2020 Land Use Plan map. The most consistent zoning would be RMD, although most of the block is already zoned CMB, including two lots containing a single-family dwelling and an old mobile home, This triangle-shaped block bordered by North Colorado Street, North Commerce Street, and China Street may be a candidate for a change in future land use designation from Medium Density Residential to General- ALTERNATIVE CLASSIFICATIONS: RMD would be the most consistent with the comprehensive plan, and CLB would be a less intense commercial zoning classification, but neither would allow a vehicle parking  zoned CMB.  side.  because the adjacent areas are zoned commercial.

STAFF RECOMMENDATION: The predominant zoning of the block is already CMB, and a large portion of the block is developed with commercial uses, soi it's unlikely to ever be redeveloped with new residential uses unless they are in mixed use buildings with commercial on the ground floor and dwelling units on upper floors. Therefore, because the subject property already borders CMB zoning on two sides, it  would not be inappropriate to rezone it to the same classification.
