Discussion and Action on an Ordinance to Rezone the N.. 330'- E. 220, Lot 2, Block 29, Alamo Land & Sugar Company Subdivision being 1.67. Acre Gross (1.30 Acre Net), FROM Single-dwelling Residential (R-1) District TO Multi- family and Townhouse (R-2) District; Owners: Rutilio & Yesenia Pacheco Planning. Director Sergio Zavala stated that the site is at the SW corner of Tower Road & Moore Road. The property has dimensions of approximately 330'x 220. This un-platted tract was voluntarily annexed earlier this year with a policy-imposed. R-1 zoning district. The owners purchased the property in 2023. There is a R-1 zoned vacant acreage to the north. To the east, west & south are UN-zoned properties (outside the city limits). Also, there's single family homes to the east and west; however; to the south is an adjoining multi-family complex and to the NEi is al built-out moderate density residential (mobile home) development. The future land use map shows, in broad strokes, a low- density residential designation. Being in a mixed land use area, compounded with citylcounty. jurisdictions, especially at a corner. site of2 semi-major streets (whose traffic will increase over time), the R-2 zoning may be reasonably considered. Remember; to the NE is ai moderate density mobile home development; and to the south is a multi-family development, too. I's felt that having a single-family home at this corner may not be too palatable, too. There was no citizens opposition at the P&ZI hearing of April 17, 2024 Commissioner Pete Morales motioned to approve, Mayor Pro-Tem Okie Salinas Staff Recommendation: Approval. seconded.

However; City Codes also allow P&Z to recommend variance to the City Commission on waiving the encroachment into the 300' radius. Staff reminds P&Z that in 2023, the City Commission gave variance to a much larger bar with more seats along the Frontage Road being 20' from residential, properties. There is a 5'paved sidewalk already along Alamo Road; but the landscaping code is lacking a lot. However, for such a small business, we could scale back the landscaping code for year 1 and see how the business is doing after 1 year to then likely impose a higher measure of landscaping compliance. Planning's recommendations: Approval subject to: 1) l-year after business activates; 2)1 waiving the. 300's separation requirement based on precedence set in 2022; 3). secure business license wlall parking lines being re-striped; 4) secure TABC licensing, 5) abide by Noise Ordinance; hedge deferred until qfier) year 1). 6) plant 7' shade trees at. 30' intervals along Alamo's frontage (Note: the continuous 3' Mayor Pro-Tem Okie Salinas asked Planning Director Sergio Zavala if he informs residents that failure to comply may result in non-renewal of their Conditional Use Planning Director Sergio Zavala answered that is particularly look at in the renewal stage unless is something pretty major then the Police Department will alert the Planning Commissioner Pete Morales asked who enforces the codes int that particular area.

The plat proposes 77 single family residential lots that meet & exceed. Alamo's min. 6250 sq.f. 'Lot' threshold. The plat is not in Alamo's city limits; but is in our ETJ. Water: The plat lies in NAWSC's CCN. From the existing 8" water line along Eldora, an 8" network will be extended throughout the series of 4 streets to serve all the lots. The regional loop for all the Cantera Hermosa developments shows this off-site loop to the south. The developer is also providing 6 new. fire hydrants, located at junctures approved by the Fire Marshal. Also, on the street stubs to the west and north, the water line has been. stubbed at these junctures to allow. future interconnection (and looping) by developing others; thus, any semblance of being un-looped will be temporary. Sanitary sewer: This area is in NAWSC's. sewer CCN. This developer will be installing a new off-site 12" sanitary sewer line along the easternmost. N-S street to service this row of lots. The other extensions to serve the remaining lots will tie onto this 12" sewer line with an 8" network. Manholes appear to be shown at proper intervals, too. The sewer has also been capped at the street stub to the north to be further extended by. future developers, too. Streets: The plat dedicates the required. 20' additional ROW for Eldora for a total of 40' ROW centerline via Hidalgo County's MPO Thoroughfare Map. The developer has coordinated with the County's precinct office to have a longer pavement section, off-site toward Tower Road, be completed. On the internal street system, the plat reflects 4 new streets. AlI streets reflect the standard 50' ROW with a pavement width of 32'1 B-B. Finally, a streetlighting plan meeting County standards has already been paid for/installed. Storm drainage: The Hidalgo County Drainage District #1 has approved of M&H's drainage report. The streets will be drained through a. series of 24"s storm lines onto a drainage ditch along the perimeter east. New. 36"/42"/48", storm lines will tie this CHS detention pond on the north side of Eldora TO the CH3 detention pond on the south side of Eldora. Note: due to the depth of the ditch, the developer will needi to install a minimum 6' fence buffering fence at the rear of lots adjoining it.

Heights connection was going to take place sewer connections prepared on the North and. South side. help us with the new. subdivisions. seconded. Motion carried. Planning Director Sergio Zavala. stated that two weeks ago, Planning discovered an error in our codes regarding the reinspection, fee to impose during the building construction process. In 2013, an ordinance was passed to declare the reinspection fee as $50. However; the subsections per trade (plumbing, electrical, mechanical) remained as $25 in their respective. This ordinance will reconcile all Code subsections regarding reinspection fees to what was intended in 2013. Also, the reinspection fee is intended to be applied for each trade. When the inspector goes to the site to do 2 or. 3 re-inspections for work that was initially inspected but failed, he has to examine the work to assure that itz meets prevailing codes for that trade. The proper use oft the reinspection, fee is to apply itj for each trade, e.g., plumbing, mechanical, or electrical work. This ordinance clarifies this for both the subcontractors and City Staff Staf's Recommendation: Approval. Commissioner Roel Leon Moreno Jr asked if several inspections. fail at the same time, Planning Director Sergio Zavala answered that ifalli inspections fail then each one must Commissioner Roel Leon Moreno Jr: motioned to approve, Commissioner AJ Garcia will they charge each inspection oni its own or all together: be charged individually. second. Motion carried. Discussion and Possible Action regarding a request from Jose Angel Buenrostro to maintain an open carport structure on/over public right-of-way located at Lot 19, Oak Grove Subdivision aka 943S. 14th Street, Alamo, Texas Planning Director Sergio Zavala stated that the matter ofai resident having built an open carport onlover public right-of-way came to the attention of the Planning Department in April. The residential, property is described as Lot 19, Oak Grove Subdivision, being 943 S.1 14th Street; andi is owned by. Jose and Herminia Buenrostro. A letter was procedurally mailed to the owner on April 11, 2024 regarding this infraction. They have chosen to approach the City Commission to request that it remain. In the City Commission packets, the city council could find exhibits reflecting the structure supporting columns to be just within perimeter of the City's ROW; concrete blocks are placed under the tarped overhang. Regarding the provisions referenced by Mr: Buenrostro from Title 10's 'Zoning Regulations' on what is a 'structure'; and from Title 9's Building Regulations' on when landscaping requirements will be imposed, Planning's response is that Code Enforcement's letter did not cite these sections but more accurately cited 2021 International Building Codes' provisions as being violated, such provisions were not disputed by the owner: Building an open carport, whose support columns are cemented- in, and having its tarped overhang entirely over public ROW (someone else's property) is clearly ai violation, ie., an un-permitted; private residential driveway onj public ROW. Staff agrees w/the owner that open carports are a necessity. for families since it offers protection to the vehicles and motorists. However; such private improvements are always on private property. The aerial. shows that the 18'- 20' wide driveway can accommodate a carport, it'd be entirely on private property, & be in compliance to Alamo's open carport building setback codes. Planning's Ist Recommendation: Denial; provide 60-90 days to remove; may secure permit to install ai replacement carport on their own private property; approving this violation may. set precedence. Planning's 2nd Recommendation: Ifapproved, an agreement. should be signed/recordedi were itwill remain at risk toi the city demanding it be removed at any time; owners will be responsible for any damage/injury that may occur due to the once construction occurs to ane eventual development to the south. the carport will carport's ROW placement; and be removed within 60 days oft the city's notice.
