[6. PUBLIC HEARING]
PUBLIC HEARING. 66.1 CONDUCT A PUBLIC HEARING AND CONSIDER A ZONE CHANGE REQUEST FROM SINGLE FAMILY. 7.5 TO NEIGHBORHOOD EDGE ON APPROXIMATELY 0.22 ACRES OF PROPERTY LOCATED IN TERRELL. ORIGINAL EDITION, LOT TWO, BLOCK 46, CITY OF TERRELL KAUFMAN COUNTY, TEXAS. THE PROPERTY IS IDENTIFIED AS KAUFMAN COUNTY APPRAISAL DISTRICT, PROPERTY ID 40126, ALSO KNOWN AS 107 EAST BROWN STREET, TERRELL, TEXAS. CASE NUMBER ZC263190. GOOD EVENING, CHAIRMAN AND COMMISSIONERS. WE HAVE A ZONE CHANGE APPLICATION FOR YOU THIS EVENING. AND BEFORE WE GET INTO THE STAFF REPORT, WE'LL JUST GO OVER THE LOCATION. THIS IS THE PROPERTY THAT WAS FORMERLY KNOWN AS BLESSINGS ON BRYN. THIS IS CURRENTLY ZONED SINGLE FAMILY 7.5. YOU CAN SEE THAT THERE IS MULTIFAMILY ZONING AS WELL AS SINGLE FAMILY ZONING. WE HAVE A CHURCH DOWN HERE, FIRST BAPTIST DOWN THIS WAY. SO THIS APPLICANT IS ASKING FOR LET'S GO BACK NEIGHBORHOOD EDGE ZONING. AND SOME OF YOU MAY BE FAMILIAR. THIS IS KIND OF A NEWER DISTRICT FOR US. WE ADOPTED THIS, I THINK 24, MAYBE THE END OF 25. WE HAD A SPECIAL MEETING TO DISCUSS. A NEIGHBORHOOD EDGE IS INTENDED TO BE KIND OF A, A TRANSITIONAL ZONING. AND IT GIVES SOME OPPORTUNITIES AND SOME OPTIONS FOR PROPERTY OWNERS, OTHER FACILITIES LOCATED IN NEIGHBORHOOD EDGE HAVE THE OPTION TO KIND OF GO BACK AND FORTH BETWEEN RESIDENTIAL OR LOW IMPACT RETAIL KINDS OF THINGS LIKE SMALL CAFES, BOUTIQUE CLOTHING STORES, SMALL IMPACT KINDS OF THINGS. SO THAT'S WHAT THIS APPLICANT IS SEEKING. WE PUBLISHED OUR PUBLIC HEARING IN TERRELL TRIBUNE. IT RAN FOR THREE CONSECUTIVE PAPER EDITIONS. WE MAILED 13 PUBLIC HEARING NOTICES AND WE DID NOT RECEIVE ANY FEEDBACK EITHER WAY. SO IF APPROVED, THIS WILL GO ON TO THE SEPTEMBER 15TH CITY COUNCIL MEETING FOR FIRST READING AND THEN AGAIN FOR A SECOND READING BEFORE FINAL APPROVAL. DO YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS FOR ME? I HAVE A QUESTION. YES, SIR. SO IN SECTION 25, B POINT FOUR HAS SIZE AREA REGULATIONS, AND IT'S 7500FT■!S. AND THIS LOT IS PROBABLY 10,000FT■!S. BUT IT ALO SAYS THE MINIMUM LOT WIDTH WOULD BE 75FT. AND THE MINIMUM LOT DEPTH IS 100. SO THIS LOT.IT'S PROBABLY 60FT ACROSS AND 50FT ACROSS THE BACK EDGE OF IT. IT MOVES INWARD, AS YOU CAN SEE, AND IT'S PROBABLY 200FT LONG. BUT OR IS THAT 75 FOOT? NOT A TRUE REQUIREMENT OR I'M PULLING UP OUR ZONING ORDINANCE HERE. I'M NOT ENTIRELY SURE. ARE YOU LOOKING AT THE SINGLE FAMILY 7.5 OR THE NEIGHBORHOOD EDGE? ZONING NEIGHBORHOOD EDGE? OKAY. 25, B POINT FOUR. I HAVE A COPY OF IT HERE. OKAY. WITH IT BEING 15 FOOT SHORT. I DON'T KNOW THAT IT CAN MEET THE OTHER REQUIREMENTS FOR. SO AT THIS POINT, THIS APPLICANT IS ONLY ASKING FOR A ZONE CHANGE.
THEY'RE NOT ASKING TO DEVELOP THE PROPERTY OR DO ANYTHING. IT'S A IT'S A LEGAL NONCONFORMING LOT AS IT STANDS CURRENTLY. AND SO THOSE SETBACK REQUIREMENTS, LOT SIZE REQUIREMENTS, BECAUSE IT HAS A LEGAL NONCONFORMING, THEY CAN'T CHANGE THE FOOTPRINT OF THE BUILDING. BUT ZONING IS A LITTLE MORE FLEXIBLE. ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU. QUESTION I GUESS
[00:10:01]
CLARIFICATION ALSO KATIE, THIS ALTHOUGH THIS IS A SINGLE FAMILY AREA AND HAS BEEN WHATEVER PREVIOUSLY THERE WAS A SMALL BUSINESS THERE, CORRECT? YES. SO WHAT WE'RE LOOKING AT THE ZONE BEING CHANGED TO IS KIND OF ALREADY WHAT IT WAS. CORRECT. I THINK THAT BUSINESS GOT GRANDFATHERED IN IN THE WITH THE SINGLE FAMILY. OKAY. SO WHAT I'M SAYING IS NOT SO MUCH DIFFERENT THAN WHAT IT ALREADY WAS. THEY PROBABLY JUST NOW COMING UP TO WHAT WE NEED FOR THEM TO CORRECT TO BE A BUSINESS. SO FULL DISCLOSURE, THIS WAS ZONED SINGLE FAMILY 7.5 WHEN THE PREVIOUS BUSINESS WAS IN EXISTENCE. HOWEVER, THE THE PROPERTY SAT VACANT FOR A PERIOD LONGER THAN SIX MONTHS, WHICH NEGATES THAT USE IN THAT ZONING IN THAT WAY. SO HE'S SEEKING TO BRING IT UP TO APPROPRIATE ZONING THAT WOULD ALLOW HIM TO CONTINUE TO USE IT IN THAT METHOD. OKAY. THAT'S WHAT I JUST WANT TO CLARIFY. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS FOR ME? OKAY. THANK YOU. ANYBODY WHO WANTS TO SPEAK ON THIS. SORRY, I TURNED IT OFF SO I WOULDN'T COUGH IN IT. DOES ANYBODY WANT TO SPEAK FOR OR AGAINST THIS ITEM FOR THE NEIGHBORHOOD EDGE? WE DON'T HAVE ANYBODY. I WILL START OUR HEARING. OH, OKAY. SO NOW WE CAN ACCEPT A MOTION.THANK. YES. OKAY. WHEN I CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING AND I'M GOING TO CALL FOR. DO Y'ALL HAVE ANY DISCUSSION HERE ANYMORE? OKAY. I'M CALLING FOR A MOTION. ANYBODY HAS A MOTION? I MOVE THAT WE I MOVE THAT WE APPROVE THIS ZONE CHANGE FROM SINGLE FAMILY 7.5 TO NEIGHBORHOOD EDGE FOR THIS PARTICULAR PROPERTY. WE HAVE A MOTION. DO WE HAVE A SECOND I SECOND. WE HAVE A MOTION AND A SECOND FOR ITEM 6.1. ALL IN FAVOR. I ANY OPPOSED. OKAY. SO
[7. CONSENT AGENDA]
OUR NEXT THING IS WE HAVE OUR CONSENT AGENDA ITEM 7.1 TO 7.4. IS THERE ANYTHING IN HERE THAT ANYBODY NEEDS TO PULL OUT FOR DISCUSSION? IF WE DON'T MR. HELEN IS THERE OR IS THAT YOUR NAME? SORRY. NORMALLY THESE ARE IN ONE ITEM AND WE CAN VOTE FOR ALL OF THEM AT ONCE ON ALL OF THEM AT ONE TIME. OR WE CAN IF YOU CHOOSE, YOU CAN PULL ONE OUT FOR US TO DISCUSS SEPARATELY. OKAY. ALL RIGHT. SO IF WE DON'T HAVE ANY THAT WE'RE GOING TO PULL OUT, THEN I WOULD ASK FOR A MOTION ON THAT ON 7.1 TO 7.4. MADAM CHAIR, I MAKE A MOTION THAT WE APPROVE THE CONSENT ITEM 7.1 THROUGH 7.4. I HAVE A MOTION. DO I HAVE A SECOND? SECOND THE MOTION. ALL RIGHT. WE HAVE A MOTION AND A SECOND. ALL IN FAVOR? AYE, AYE. ANY OPPOSED? THERE ARE NONE. SO THAT'S 7.1 TO 7.4.
