Discussion and Action to approve the preparation of an Ordinance to limit mobile homes to be placed on the East & West side of Encinal. City Attorney Caballero stated that there was an ordinance passed in 2004 when Mr. Mancha was the Mayor and it was to limit the brining in of mobile homes and once Mr. Sylvano Sanchez came into office backi in 2011 there was a motion passed and an ordinance repealing the ordinance of 2004: SO currently we don't have an ordinance regarding the bringing in of mobile homes into the city and I understand there isa petition being made by Mr.. Jose Hinojosa stating that he has a new mobile home and I know that City Manager Davila has been holding the permit and Idon't know that she has the authority to dot that because we don't currently have an ordinance in place tol keep them out and my opinion is that he should be given his permit, nowi if from here on in the future you all want to restrict or limit the bringing in of mobile homes into the city that would be your decision based on what you believe is best for the city and what youl believe the needs ofy your citizens are, Councilman Inocencio asked if wel have any! kind of zoning at all right now and City Attorney Caballero replied that we don't have zoning right now and Councilman Inocencio replied how do the other cities around here do it and City Attorney Caballero replied that it is al long process and then they adopt a: zoning ordinance where they do studies and they use planners to divide up the sections of the city and recommend what the best zone would be for different areas and then you pass an ordinance with maps and definitions telling you specifically what uses can be made with properties that are. zoned a certain ways and Councilman Inocencio replied since Mr. Matt! believe was one of the ones that passed the ordinance that was repealed did you all go through any studies like hei is saying and Citizen Matt Olivera replied that he knows the ordinance was repealed but the citizens of Encinal were not notified and there was zero outreach becausel myself was not notified and neither were my neighbors and Iwould say when did this happen etcetera the main thingi isj just as our City Attorney just advised you where you have a committee and you have zoning done and we already did all that and that is already in place and lactually talked with Ashley last time Iwas here that there is a model here somewhere of this city and everything already done and it was done by Crane Engineering and it's already here already in place all the studies have been done okay we. just need to move on with it when I was here years ago we built 30 houses for the elderly and then we: started building more houses when that  favor sO motion carried.  Councilman Aldaco, all were ini favor SO motion carried.  Revised. June 12, 2024    ordinance was inj place and there was a limited amount of manufactured houses coming in and the city was looking good andi it was feeling good and we were attracting the South Texas Rural Health clinic and we started attracting other businesses to come in here but now since the Mancha era is gone seems like the past Sylvano era and stuff we don'ts see any more houses getting done we see more and more manufactured houses coming in and its bringing the property values down and its bringing people that are. just coming in with temporary housing and this housing that is coming inj people arej justr renting it out and they aren't living there anymore sO my question is when we dol bring somebody in are they using that housing as a primary residence fori themselves or are they using it to rent it out to make money because that is not fair to the people that are living here and who have made investments in their properties and then overnight boom it's just all gone and you know what I'm saying sol lask Council hey please respect the years that other council have done and let's move on and make a great city and it is unfortunate that this happened and City Manager Davila replied Iknow what Mr. Olivera said but in 2005 going into 2006 when this was passed there was a manufactured house placed on the east side so guess that back then in the Mancha era they weren't following the ordinance either and Ispoke with that gentleman and he stated that he had a conversation with Mr. Matt Olivera and that he did tell him that he was bringing in a mobile home and ify you see that mobile home iti is one oft the best ones in town and Mr. Olivera replied oh no what gentleman are you speaking about and Councilwoman Weikel replied that she was not here to dispute it because I haven'tread the ordinances and Mayor Arce replied that there were no ordinances and City Attorney Caballero replied that the ordinances that she had before her was an ordinance that was passed and one that was repealed and the question is going to be ify you want to restrict where mobile homes are placed in thet future and don't know thei income levels for the city and whatever type of ordinance you pass Iwill type out but those are all things that you need to consider nowl Ihave never: seen any ground work for zoning for the City of Encinal and Councilman Inocencio: asked what it would take to do that and City Attorney Caballero replied al lot of work and Councilwoman Weikel asked what it would take to go back to Crane and are they still in business and City Manager Davila replied if Ashley could answer that please about what we have for Crane Engineering and City Consultant Eddington replied that he was talking about a model and Idon't know about a model but Crane Engineering did a study and a survey and it outlined the city limits, CCN's about public hearings talked about some of the proposals fori infrastructure and they were proposing to use Mando's pond for as a water run-off sot that is the study hei is talking about but I don't know what model he ist talking about andl I have never: seen a model and Mayor Arce stated that she didn't agree and she didn't think it was fair that if somebody can'tr make al house because of their income or whatever like Id don't know how you expect them to make al house Idon'tg get it and Councilwoman Weikel replied Idon't want to make a decision based on emotion and Mayor Arce replied its not based on emotion and Councilwoman Weikel added that she needed more information to make a good decision andl Iknow what our demographics are here but lalso want to know what we have in place and Mayor Arce replied we don't have anything in place they repealed it and Councilwoman Weikel replied who repealedi itlwant to know what is going on and City Manager Davila replied that we could table the item and Councilwoman Weikel replied if we could table itt to getmore information and City Manager Davila replied that we can table it butlo cannot hold this permit back for the gentleman who wants to bring the mobile home and Councilman Inocenio stated if  Revised. June 12, 2024    we could start looking into what it would take to do zoningt that wayi it doesn't happen again so thisi is the only place that way he doesn't have to go thruy what! he is going through rightr now because that way everybody willl know andi its not okay over here and City Manager Davila replied mobile homes that are 3 years and older andt this gentleman's mobile home is brandi new and what they passed was three years and older and Councilman Inocenio replied that hel hadn't! had a chance tos seei ity yet and City Manager Davila replied was that she thinks the reason Mayor Sanchez did this is that they weret trying to! bringa trailer park and l'am not for trailer parks honestly because it starts bringing different people from everywhere and we currently have as situation right now with another one and eveni if wel had this ordinance in place without ith being repealed it clearly states mobile homes that are 3 years and older you cannot stop somebody with al brand new mobile home from coming into our city and Councilwoman Weikel replied that she was not trying to stop anything Ijust want to geta a better understanding this was the first time Ihave seen ita and Ihaven't even readi it and Mayor Arce replied we can table it and Councilman Inocencio addedi ifv we can see what other cities are doing and City Manager Davila replied that Ithink what happens in other cities is that you! have areas where they don't allow mobile homes Chief ist there something like that in Crystal City and Chief Balboa replied thati in Crystal City there is an area where you cannot have mobilel homes soi iti is zoned and the houses are valued at a certain amount and you are not allowed to put a mobile homei in that area but the rest of the city you can put a mobile home anywhere andi ify youl had an areal here in Encinal where you have multiple homes ofa a certain valuet then you don'ty want tol have mobile homes there because then it would decrease the value of thel homes and City Manager Davila replied that she would bring this back and Councilman Inocencio stated that was the only fair thing that we can do and Mayor Arce stated that they could make a motion tot table and Councilman Aldaco asked if the gentleman would be allowed to bring inl his mobile home and City Attorney Caballero replied thaty yes! he would be allowed tol bring iti in and then we can see abouty whether you all want tol have an ordinance for this and Citizen Matt Olivera replied that was not the ordinancel he was talking about that there was another ordinance and Ihave asked Velma tol look for it and City Manager Davila replied have done that and have looked at every single ordinance and Citizen Matt Olivera stated that there was something there and Mayor Arce told Council that she needed an action to tablet thei item.
