SO,

[00:10:01]

UH, MAYOR PRO TEM DAVIS.

UH, DO WE HAVE ANYBODY SIGNED UP TO SPEAK? YES, MR. MAYOR.

FIRST UP IS BILLY LANG HOUSE.

GOOD EVENING, MR. MAYOR, CITY COUNCIL MEMBERS AND ALL YE PRESENT.

MY NAME IS BILLY LANGU.

I LIVE IN CHURCH, TEXAS 7 8 1 5 4.

THERE'S AN ONGOING SITUATION THAT STILL NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED ON DECEMBER 8TH, LAST YEAR, SOME 43 DAYS AGO.

IN 2025, MS. ALLISON HAYWOOD FILED AN APPLICATION TO RUN FOR COUNTY COMMISSIONER OF GUADALUPE COUNTY, TEXAS PRECINCT THREE.

THE APPLICATION WAS ACCEPTED, SHE'S QUALIFIED, AND HER NAME WILL BE ON THE BALLOT.

IN MARCH ON DECEMBER 8TH, 2025, THE STATE OF TEXAS, VIA THE TEXAS CONSTITUTION INVOKED, RESIGNED TO RUN AUTOMATICALLY, WHICH RENDERED SEAT SIX VACANT.

AND NO ONE CAN CIRCUMVENT THE RULING OF THE STATE FROM DECEMBER 8TH, UH, THROUGH THE CITY IS GIVEN 120 DAYS TO FILL THE SEAT THROUGH SPECIAL ELECTION.

120 DAYS WILL OCCUR ON APRIL 7TH, 2026.

THIS VACANCY IS TO BE FILLED BY A SPECIAL ELECTION.

WE KNOW MS. HAVEN IS BEING HELD OVER IN AN UNEXPIRED TERM, HOWEVER, HOLDING OVER IS IS FOR EXPIRED TERMS. SHE'S HERE ON THE DAES TONIGHT PROVING THIS POINT UNDER KP 3 51.

A QUESTION WAS POSED TO THE STATE OF TEXAS.

AND ALTHOUGH WE DON'T KNOW WHAT THE QUESTION POSED AND KEEPING WITH SECTION 11, SECTION 11, IT STATES THAT A COURT WOULD LIKELY DECIDE TO THE EXTENT SIGNS ARE POSTED, SOLICITING VOTES THAT CAN BE SEEN BY THE PUBLIC, THAT CAMPAIGNING HAS BEGUN.

THIS HAS HAPPENED.

A SPECIAL ELECTION IS PENDING, AS WAS STATED HERE ON JANUARY 6TH, 2026.

NOW LET'S CUT TO THE CHASE.

ARTICLE 16, SECTION 17 SAYS, THIS HOLDOVER WILL STOP WHEN A SUCCESSOR IS DULY QUALIFIED, DULY QUALIFIED OR ELECTED.

ARE THEY SYNONYMOUS? NO.

DULY QUALIFIED MEANS THE LEGAL AND FORMAL ADMINISTRATIVE STEPS NECESSARY TO EXERCISE THE POWERS OF THE OFFICE HAVE BEEN FILLED.

THEY ARE IN PLACE ELECTED.

DESCRIBES A POLITICAL VICTORY.

IT WOULD BE WISE TO APPOINT A QUALIFIED CANDIDATE TO FILL THE SEAT UNTIL A WINNER IS DECLARED.

OTHERWISE, YOU'LL BE IN CLEAR VIOLATION OF THE TEXAS CONSTITUTION.

PLEASE GIVE THIS YOUR BEST CONSIDERATION LEST WE MEET AGAIN.

THANK YOU MAYOR PRO TIMM DAVIS.

DO WE HAVE ANY OTHER SPEAKERS? UH, YES.

MR. MAYOR, NEXT UP IS DJ THOMPSON.

DJ THOMPSON NORTHCLIFF 7 8 1 0 8.

AND I JUST WANNA SAY IT'S SO WONDERFUL TO SEE YOU ALL AGAIN.

YOU ALL ARE LIKE FAMILY.

AND I WANT YOU ALL TO KNOW THAT I PRAY FOR YOU EVERY SINGLE DAY AND SOMETIMES MORE THAN ONCE A DAY, BUT AT LEAST EVERY SINGLE DAY.

AND I LOVE YOU VERY, VERY MUCH.

AND I WANT TO, UM, PRESENT SOMETHING WITH GREAT LOVE.

AND I HOPE AFTER I READ THIS, AND I'M GONNA TELL YOU WHAT IT IS IN JUST A MINUTE, THAT YOU FEEL SO MUCH LOVE THAT YOU'LL ALMOST WANT TO CLAP WELL, AFTER I READ IT.

OKAY? AND THIS IS, THIS IS MEANT WITH LOVE AND IT WAS WRITTEN IN LOVE.

AND WE HAVE ABOUT FIVE MORE OF THESE COMING.

SO, UM, IT'S SO WONDERFUL TO SEE YOUR FACES AGAIN.

I'M SO MOVED.

I'M SO HAPPY I GOT TO HUG A LOT OF YOU TODAY.

SO, UM, THIS IS A PETITION AND YOU'LL UNDERSTAND WHAT THE PETITION IS ABOUT IN JUST A MINUTE.

AND I'M TAKING MY HUSBAND'S THREE MINUTES.

AND SHARON, COULD YOU WAVE YOUR HAND, SHARON? SHE'S LETTING ME, I DON'T THINK I'LL NEED MORE THAN THREE MINUTES, BUT JUST IN CASE.

OKAY.

WE, THE CONCERNED

[00:15:01]

AND I'LL SPEAK TO THAT SHORTLY.

THE FOLLOWING ARE JUST A FEW OF THE MANY THINGS THAT NEED TO BE ADDRESSED IN IMPLEMENTING THIS MANDATE AND WHAT IS ALREADY KNOWN THAT THE CITY NEEDS TO REPAIR.

CORRECT? BEFORE ANY DEVELOPER SHOULD BE CONSIDERED TO BRING A HIGH DENSITY POPULATION INTO OUR COMMUNITIES.

FAILING WATER PIPES, CREATING DEFAULTING PRESSURE, DISINTEGRATING ROADS NEEDED REPLACEMENT YEARS AGO, DEFECTIVE STORM DRAINAGE FLOODING HER HOMES.

AND JUST RECENTLY THE SUMMER OF 2025, DISRUPTION TO LOCAL ECOSYSTEMS, STRAIN ON WASTEWATER, UTILITIES, LOW POLICE PRESENCE, STRESSING, UM, EXISTING PUBLIC SERVICES AND SO MUCH MORE SINCERELY, THANK YOU, AS WE WORK TOGETHER TO MAINTAIN OUR COMMUNITY'S INFRASTRUCTURE, CREATING A RANGE OF POSITIVE OUTCOMES.

AND I HOPE YOU ALL RECEIVE THAT WITH GREAT LOVE AND AFFECTION AS IT'S PRESENTED.

AND I'M GONNA GIVE THIS TO SHEREE.

IS THAT OKAY? SHEREE? AND YOU'LL GIVE A COPY TO EVERYBODY AND THANK YOU SO MUCH.

AND WE HAVE FIVE MORE OF THESE COMING.

AND THIS IS ALL SAID WITH LOVE.

I REMEMBER.

AND UH, IF YOU ALLOW ME JUST A FEW MORE MINUTES, UM, MAYBE ONE OR TWO, THAT WHEN I WAS FIRST DRAWN TO THIS COMMUNITY 23 YEARS AGO, IT WAS BECAUSE AT THE INTEREST I WAS JUST SHARING WITH YOU EARLIER, UH, WE HAD A FOUNTAIN.

DO YOU ALL REMEMBER THE FOUNTAIN? ANYBODY BEEN HERE LONG ENOUGH TO REMEMBER YOU? REMEMBER THE FOUNTAIN? I SURE DO IT.

I THAT JUST, I LOVE THAT.

I'M LIKE, I WANNA LIVE HERE.

AND SO, SO MANY PEOPLE, THEY TRAVEL UP AND DOWN.

AND THAT'S WHY IN 2009 WE WON FOR THE BEST PLACE TO LIVE.

SHIRTS WON BECAUSE WE WERE A PART OF YOU ALL WINNING.

WE ALL WON THAT.

COLLECTIVELY, YOU ALL DID THINGS TOO.

BUT YOU CAN SEE THAT FROM THE FREEWAY COMING FROM THE NORTH OR GOING TO THE NORTH.

AND IF WE GET RID OF ALL THAT, IF WE'RE ONLY INTERESTED IN DEVELOPMENT AND NOT IN BEAUTY, WE'VE LOST.

WE'VE REALLY LOST.

AND THE, AND THE, AND THE PEOPLE WHO WANNA COME IN TO DESTROY OUR COMMUNITY HAVE REALLY WON.

SO I HOPE THAT YOU ALL WOULD REALLY CONSIDER, WE NEED SOME BEAUTY.

WE REALLY DO.

WE NEED SOME GREEN SPACES.

WE NEED TO HAVE YOU ALL REALLY JUST WORK WITH US.

I WOULD LOVE TO MEET, AND ALLISON, I'D LOVE IF YOU WOULD, I KNOW IT CAN ONLY BE A CERTAIN FEW OF YOU ALL, BUT I WOULD LOVE TO MEET WITH YOU ALL AND TREAT YOU ALL TO LUNCH, YOU KNOW, SOMEWHERE THAT WE CAN TALK ABOUT.

WE HAVE A PLAN AND WE WANNA PRESENT THAT PLAN TO YOU WHAT WE HAVE.

AND IT MEANS NOTHING OTHER THAN R SIX.

IF YOU DON'T REMEMBER ANYTHING ABOUT WHAT I'VE SAID TODAY, IF YOU COULD PLEASE REMEMBER, PLEASE DON'T APPROVE ANYTHING THAT IS NOT R SIX.

BECAUSE ANYTHING THAT IS NOT R SIX MEANS THAT THEY GET TO TAKE OUR COMMUNITY AND DO WHATEVER THEY WANT TO WITH IT WITHOUT ANY JURISDICTION.

AND I KNOW YOU ALL DON'T WANT THAT FOR US.

WE LOVE YOU ALL VERY MUCH, VERY MUCH.

AND WE HOPE THAT YOU ALL GET TO LOVE US.

AND, UM, I AM GOING, I WANT TO BE THE CHANGE THAT I WANT TO SEE.

AND I THANK YOU EACH AND EVERY ONE OF YOU FOR ALL, FOR GIVING UP YOUR FAMILY TIME TO COME AND BE HERE.

I CAN'T IMAGINE WHAT THAT'S LIKE, BUT I REALLY DO APPRECIATE YOU AND AGAIN, MAYOR, CONGRATULATIONS.

WE REALLY APPRECIATE YOU TOO.

AND TO ALL MY NEIGHBORS, I LOVE YOU ALL.

AND CAN YOU GIVE YOU ALL YOU YOURSELVES A HAND APPLAUSE, ? YES.

YAY.

GOD BLESS YOU ALL.

HAVE A WONDERFUL NIGHT, MR. MAYOR.

NEXT UP AND I'LL, I'LL APOLOGIZE IN ADVANCE IF I MISTAKE, MAKE MISTAKE ON THIS LAST NAME.

CLAYTON KODI.

I CAN'T TELL IF IT'S AN IZ OR AN R.

YEAH, IT'S MY, IT'S MY WRITING MAYOR, COUNCIL MEMBERS.

MY NAME'S CLAY CORY.

I RESIDED 1 0 0 1 WHITE WING HERE IN CHURCH.

THAT'S THE DOVE MEADOWS SUBDIVISION WHERE I'VE LIVED FOR OVER 30 YEARS.

AND THAT'S WHAT I'M HERE TO DISCUSS TODAY.

I'M HERE TO DISCUSS THE JUST INCOMPETENT WAY.

THIS WHOLE UPGRADE IMPROVEMENT DEBACLE HAS BEEN HANDLED.

STARTING FROM THE, JUST THE LACK OF COMMUNICATION FROM THE VERY BEGINNING TO THE ONGOING COMMUNICATION.

I CALLED THE PROJECT MANAGER LAST WEEK AND I STILL HAVEN'T GOT A RESPONSE BACK.

SO I'VE HAD TO WATCH AND JUST GROWING ANGER

[00:20:01]

THEY RIP OUT MY IRRIGATION SYSTEM JUST IN SHATTERS.

MY SOD, MY LANDSCAPING.

I, I INVESTED OVER 30,000 OR BROWN, $30,000 JUST RECENTLY IN UPGRADING ALL OF THAT.

AND IT'S JUST GONE.

IT'S JUST LITERALLY IN RUINS.

THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED, I WENT OUT AND TALKED TO ONE OF THE WORKERS AND HIS ATTITUDE WAS, OH, WE DIDN'T SLICE YOUR IRRIGATION.

IT BROKE WHEN WE MOVED THE CEMENT.

YOU KNOW? AND THAT, THAT SORT OF GIVE, DON'T GIVE A DAMN ATTITUDE IS WHAT'S SO FRUSTRATING.

YOU KNOW, THAT THAT ATTITUDE TRICKLES DOWN.

IT TRICK DOWN FROM TO HIM, FROM THE PEOPLE HE WORKS WITH OR WORKS FAR AND IT TRICKLE DOWN TO THAT COMPANY, TO THE CITY FOR HIRING WHOEVER THIS RANDOM COMPANY IS.

YOU KNOW, I HEARD A RUMORED, UH, SOLUTION WAS THEY'RE GONNA HAVE SYSTEM IN PLACE TO TAKE CARE OF THIS.

YOU THINK, YOU KNOW, WHEN I SAT DOWN WITH A RESPECTED LANDSCAPE COMPANY AND HAD A PERSONALIZED PLAN DRAWN UP, YOU THINK THIS COMPANY'S GONNA CARE HOW THEY'RE GONNA EVEN KNOW WHERE I HAD MY STUFF, WHAT SPRAY PATTERNS I HAD, WHAT SPRINKLER HANDS I HAD? YOU KNOW, THAT'S JUST THE IRRIGATION TO, TO FIX THAT THEY'RE GONNA HAVE TO DESTROY THE REST OF THE SOD IS THERE, YOU KNOW, AND THAT, THAT DOESN'T EVEN MENTION THE DUST.

THAT'S JUST EVERYWHERE.

MY HOUSE IS COATED AND DUST ALL I HAVE TO HAVE IT WASHED EVENTUALLY.

THIS, THIS, YOU KNOW, GOING BACK TO THIS PROPOSED SOLUTION, THAT'S NOT AN ACCEPTABLE SOLUTION.

I'M, I DON'T WANT, I'VE SEEN THE WORK THESE PEOPLE DO.

THEY'RE NOT GONNA REPAIR MY DAMAGE.

SO GOING BACK TO THE DUST, I CAN'T ENJOY MY PEACEFUL, UH, BACKYARD WHERE I HAD MY SAY, UH, MY SOLITUDE.

EVERYTHING'S JUST FILTHY.

MY BRAND NEW PATIO, FURNITURE'S FILTHY.

MY GRILLS ARE FILTHY.

MY CAR, I HAVE TO WASH THE WINDOWS EVERY DAY BECAUSE OF THE GLARE COMING THROUGH.

THE DUST, IT'S ON THE WINDOWS MAKES DRIVING HAZARDOUS.

AND THIS JUST, THIS IS NOT ACCEPTABLE BEHAVIOR.

YOU KNOW, THERE'S A, THERE'S AN ETHICS SAYING THAT, UH, GOES SOMETHING LIKE IF YOU ALWAYS DO THE RIGHT THING, YOU DON'T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT DOING THE WRONG THING.

AND THIS WAS NOT THE RIGHT THING.

NEXT UP IS DEBBIE P PERONI.

GOOD EVENING COUNCIL, COUNCIL MEMBERS AND CITY MAYOR.

I'M HERE ALSO.

I'M DEBBIE PERONI AND I LIVE AT 1236 DOVE MEADOWS, UNIT ONE PRO RIGHT NOW IT SAYS WAR ZONE.

THE STREETS ARE TORE UP.

THE CURB IS TORE UP, THE SIDEWALKS ARE GONE.

WE'VE GOT 16 DIFFERENT COLORS OF SPRAY PAINT ALL OVER.

THEY CAME IN, THEY DID NOT, ACCORDING TO THE C-I-P-C-I-P, THEY WERE SUPPOSED TO REMOVE EXISTING ASPHALT STERILIZING THE BASE UNDERNEATH AND ADDING NEW ASPHALT LAYER ON TOP.

THERE'S BEEN NO ASPHALT LIFTED OFF THAT ROAD.

THEY CAME IN, THEY LAID OUT IN SAND, THEY GRATED IT, THEY ROLLED IT, THEY WATERED IT.

THEY DID THAT FOR A COUPLE OF DAYS, THEN A TRUCK CAME IN AND HE LAID POWDERED CEMENT, ROLLED IT.

NOW WE'RE WA DRIVING IN POWDERED MUCK.

IT'S ALL OVER MY CAR.

IT CANNOT BE REMOVED BY A CAR WASH.

I'D LIKE TO KNOW, IS THE CITY GOING TO PAY FOR MY DETAILING ON MY CAR OR IS THE CONTRACTOR I'M TOTALLY UPSET.

WE'VE HAD NO NOTIFICATION.

WE HAD ONE NOTIFICATION THAT CAME OUT IN OCTOBER.

WE DO NOT HAVE ANY SCHEDULE WHAT'S GOING ON? AND I MET WITH BRIAN JAMES ON DECEMBER 18TH ASKING FOR HIS SCHEDULE.

I DON'T HAVE IT.

NOBODY'S GOT IT.

I WANNA KNOW WHAT'S GOING ON.

AND I WANNA KNOW HOW LONG THIS IS GONNA GO ON FOR.

SPRING OF 2026 IS A LONG WAY WHEN YOU'RE LOOKING AT DUST GOING IN YOUR HOUSE, ON YOUR SHOES, ON YOUR DRIVEWAY, ON YOUR CAR.

IF YOU DRIVE DOWN OUR STREET, I BECK THAT.

YOU BETTER WALK 'CAUSE YOUR CAR WILL BE DESTROYED.

THANK YOU.

NEXT UP IS MR. JOHN CARBONE.

GOOD EVENING.

JOHN CARBONE, 35 41

[00:25:01]

AS MANY OF YOU ALREADY KNOW, MY NAME IS JOHN CARBONE AND I'M RUNNING FOR PLACE SEVEN.

I'M RUNNING AS AN AIR FORCE VETERAN, AS AN EDUCATOR AND AS SOMEONE WHO SAT ON THE P AND Z AND THAT CHAIR FOR THE LAST THREE AND A HALF YEARS, I SAT ON THE MOST CONTENTIOUS BOARD WE HAVE IN OUR COMMISSIONS.

I BELIEVE LEADERSHIP IS OF THE HEART AND MANAGEMENT IS OF THE MIND.

I BELIEVE I HAVE BOTH OF THOSE THINGS.

I DON'T PUT MY HAT IN THE RING TO MAKE MONEY A BIGGER TITLE OR TO PUSH AN AGENDA.

I SIMPLY VOLUNTEERED BECAUSE I SAW A NEED, A NEED FOR CANDID, WELL-ROUNDED REPRESENTATION.

SOMEONE WHO KNOWS THEIR WHY AND WHO CAN ARTICULATE THEIR STANCE.

EARLY VOTING, AS WAS SAID EARLIER, IS EIGHT THROUGH FIVE.

EIGHT TO FIVE THROUGH THE 27TH OF JANUARY.

AND ELECTION DAY IS ON THE 31ST OF JANUARY, SEVEN TO SEVEN.

VOTE FOR JOHN CARBONE CITY COUNCIL PLACE SEVEN, FIRST ON THE BALLOT.

IT'S AN EASY READ.

THANK YOU.

NEXT UP IS MS. CLAIRE LAYTON.

I'M CLAIRE LAYTON.

I LIVE AT 1 2 2 3 1 LAS MEADOWS DRIVE.

SHIRTZ ETJ.

THIS IS UNUSUAL FOR ME 'CAUSE I'M ACTUALLY GONNA SEE SOMETHING NICE ABOUT YOU GUYS, UM, DURING WORK.

UM, THE FIRST THING I WANT TO SAY IS WORKSHOP AGENDA ITEM SEVEN.

I HOPE THE COUNCIL AGREES TO PROVIDING A SEPARATE PUBLIC MEETING TO DISCUSS PARAGRAPH B EJS WERE TOLD THAT THE ZONING REGULATIONS WILL BE ADDED TO THE JOINT LAST STU JOINT LAST USE STUDY CONSTRAINTS.

BUT WHAT I SEE IS PROVOKED ITEM SEVEN IS MUCH MORE SPECIFIC.

A SEPARATE PUBLIC MEETING WILL ALLOW ETJ FOLKS TO FULLY UNDERSTAND WHAT IS NEW AND PREVENT POSSIBLE MISUNDERSTANDINGS, WHICH OF COURSE WILL COME TO YOU GUYS.

SECONDLY, KUDOS TO THE ENGINEERING DEPARTMENT I SEE IN THEIR MONTHLY UPDATE THAT WORKS FOR LEAVING FLOODING ON MAIN STREET IS ACTUALLY HAPPENING.

IT SEEMS THE DESIGN PHASE SHOULD BE COMPLETED BY 2028.

WE ALL KNOW THAT SUCH PROJECTS TAKE TIME, BUT LET'S HOPE CONSTRUCTION IS COMPLETED BEFORE THE NEXT FLOODING RAINS AS SO, UH, THAT WILL COME DOWN MAIN STREET, BUT YOU MUST PROTECT THE PROGRESS MADE FOR THE REDEVELOPER MAIN STREET.

SO THAT FLOODING PROCESS NEEDS TO BE AS FAST AS POSSIBLE.

I KNOW IT'S SLOW 'CAUSE IT'S GOVERNMENT.

HOWEVER, LASTLY, I'VE NOT LADY PRINTED OUT COUNCIL AGENDAS FROM THE CITY'S WEBSITE.

BUT TO BE ABLE TO SEE ISSUES INVOLVED IN EACH ITEM IS WONDERFUL.

IT ALLOWED ME TO UNDERSTAND REALLY WHAT WAS IN FRONT OF COUNCIL.

THANK YOU TO THE SECRETARY AND STAFF.

THIS IS A GREAT IMPROVEMENT AND THANK YOU TO COUNCIL FOR LISTENING TO ME.

I MAY NOT BE QUITE AS NICE NEXT TIME, BUT YOU CAN ALWAYS HOPE MR. MAYER.

THAT'S ALL THAT WE HAVE SIGNED UP.

OKAY.

HAVING NO OTHER, UH, RESIDENTS SIGNED UP TO SPEAK.

THAT'LL END, UH, HEARING OF THE RESIDENTS.

WE'LL MOVE ON TO THE

UH, WE HAVE OUR DEPUTY CITY SECRETARY, SHERI.

GOOD EVENING MAYOR.

COUNCIL MEMBERS, MR. SANTI AND MR. WILLIAMS. TONIGHT I BRING FORTH RESOLUTION 26 R 11, CALLING FOR SPECIAL ELECTION TO BE HELD APRIL THE FOURTH, 2026 FOR THE PURPOSE OF ELECTING A COUNCIL MEMBER FOR CITY COUNCIL PLACE SIX WITH GUADALUPE BEAR AND KAMALA COUNTIES.

AND I APPROVING THE GUADALUPE COUNTY ELECTION CONTRACT STATING THAT GUADALUPE COUNTY WILL OVERSEE THE SPECIAL ELECTION AND OTHER MATTERS IN CONNECTION THEREWITH, AS YOU KNOW, COUNCIL MEMBER HAYWARD'S SEAT WAS AUTOMATICALLY VACATED UPON HER FILING FOR ANOTHER OFFICE ON DECEMBER THE EIGHTH OF 2025.

HENCE, THE CITY OF SHEZ IS REQUIRED TO HOLD A SPECIAL ELECTION TO FILL THE UNEXPIRED TERM ENDING NOVEMBER, 2027.

A GENERAL PRIMARY ELECTION IS BEING HELD MARCH 3RD AND ELECTION CODE 41.001 C PROVIDES THAT AN ELECTION CANNOT BE HELD WITHIN 30 DAYS BEFORE OR AFTER THE GENERAL ELECTION FOR STATE AND COUNTY OFFICERS GENERAL PRIMARY ELECTION OR RUNOFF PRIMARY ELECTION.

THEREFORE, THE SPECIAL ELECTION FOR CITY COUNCIL PLACED SIX PROPOSED DATE IS TO OCCUR ON APRIL THE FOURTH, 2026, WHICH FALLS WITHIN THE 120 DAY REQUIREMENT.

AT THIS TIME WE'LL GO AHEAD AND

[7. Workshop on draft code amendments related to regulating land uses in conformance with the JLUS per the recent special election (S.Williams/B.James)]

ITEM NUMBER SEVEN, WORKSHOP ON DRAFT CODE AMENDMENTS RELATED TO REGULATING LAND USE AND CONFORMANCE WITH THE JULIUS PER THE RECENT SPECIAL ELECTION.

MR. JAMES, THANK YOU MAYOR.

UM, GET US SORT OF STARTED HERE.

WE'LL, WE'LL WORK OFF THIS AND KIND OF WORK OUR WAY THROUGH.

SO, JUST AS A REMINDER TO FOLKS, UH, COUNCIL CALLED AS PART OF THE NOVEMBER ELECTION TO UTILIZE THE PROVISION OF THE TEXAS LOCAL GOVERNMENT CODE TO AUTHORIZE AN ELECTION OF THE REGISTERED VOTERS WHO ARE IN THE ETJ OF A CITY WITHIN FIVE MILES OF CERTAIN AIRPORT BASES TO ALLOW THEM TO VOTE TO EITHER BE ANNEXED INTO THE CITY OR TO HAVE THE CITY BE ABLE TO IMPOSE, UH, LAND USE CONTROLS BASED ON THE MOST RECENT, UH, JOINT LAND USE STUDY FOR THAT BASE.

SO THE RANDOLPH JWS STUDY, UM, COUNCIL CALLED FOR THAT ELECTION.

UH, THE ELECTION WAS HELD OVERWHELMINGLY, UH, THE VOTE AS WE, I THINK ANTICIPATED AND HEARD FROM FOLKS IN ADVANCE, UH, WAS TO, UH, GO FOR THE LAND USE CONTROLS AS OPPOSED TO TO ANNEXATION.

UM, SO WHAT I WANTED TO DO TONIGHT AFTER GOING THROUGH THAT IS, UH, BASICALLY PUT OUT FOR FOLKS TO BE ABLE TO LOOK AT THE AGENDA PACKET, UH, GIVE AN INITIAL RUN

[00:35:01]

AND THEN BASED ON SOME OF THE INITIAL FEEDBACK FROM SOME OF THOSE PROPERTY OWNERS, UH, WE'LL FIGURE OUT WHAT THAT PROCESS IS THAT WE WANT TO GO THROUGH.

AGAIN, IS IT A SEPARATE MEETING WITH JUST THOSE FOLKS OR, UH, BASED ON MAYBE THE INITIAL REACTION, DO WE SAY NO? LET'S, LET'S DO THAT AS PART OF THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION, AS ANY OF THESE ORDINANCE CHANGES GO BEFORE THEM IN ADVANCE.

UM, AGAIN, THIS IS A PRETTY WEIRD ONE.

THE ONLY PLACES IN TEXAS THAT I FOUND THAT I'VE DONE THIS WERE IN SAN ANTONIO.

SO AGAIN, ONE OF THE THINGS WE'LL HAVE TO DO AS WE MOVE FORWARD IS TAKE THIS INITIAL DRAFT WORK WITH THE CITY ATTORNEY, UH, MAKE SURE THAT THE WAY WE'VE DONE IT, OUR APPROACH TO IT, UH, IS APPROPRIATE.

UH, BECAUSE AGAIN, THEY'RE NOT IN THE CITY, BUT WE SET IT UP AS IF IT WERE A ZONING EVENT, WHETHER IT STAYS THAT WAY, BECAUSE I THINK THAT'S FAMILIAR WITH FOLKS, THEY'RE SORT OF AWARE OF HOW THAT WORKS.

AND SO I THINK TO GIVE THEM THAT UNDERSTANDING MAKES SENSE.

BUT AGAIN, WE MAY END UP POINT IT OUT OF THERE AND DO IT, YOU KNOW, SEPARATELY FROM THAT.

BUT I THINK THIS IS THE BEST WAY TO GET PEOPLE THE GIST OF IT.

UM, AND, AND SO WHAT WE TALKED ABOUT ARE KIND OF CREATING A SPECIAL DISTRICT, UH, AS WE HAVE WITH SOME OTHERS KIND OF A, AN OVERLAY, UH, SORT OF STRUCTURED AS AN OVERLAY DISTRICT.

AND AGAIN, I THINK THE GOAL OF STAFF AT THIS WAS TO, UM, PUT IN PLACE THOSE REGULATIONS THAT THE JL SUPPORTS, UH, TO PROTECT THE MISSION OF THE BASE, BUT DO IT, UH, WITHOUT, UM, NEGATIVELY IMPACTING THE PROPERTY OWNER'S RESIDENCE AS MUCH AS WE CAN.

UM, AND SO ONE THING I WANT TO SAY ON THE FRONT END THAT WE'VE, WE'VE APPROACHED THIS IS UNLIKE SAN ANTONIO, THE INITIAL PROPOSAL IS TO NOT NECESSARILY REQUIRE PEOPLE TO COME IN TO PULL PERMITS BECAUSE AFTER LOOKING AT THE JL REGULATION, WHAT WE FOUND IS WE WOULD REQUIRE FOLKS TO COME IN TO PULL A SEPARATE PERMIT FROM US THAT THEY WOULD HAVE TO PULL FROM THE COUNTY.

AND BY AND LARGE, WE THINK WE WOULD SAY, YEAH, YOU'RE FINE.

BUT IT WOULD ADD SORT OF TIME AND DELAY TO THEIR PROJECT AND THINGS LIKE THAT.

SO WHAT WE'D RATHER DO IS IMPOSE THE REGULATION, UM, AND THEN TRY TO ENFORCE IF WE PERCEIVE THERE TO BE A PROBLEM GOING IN.

BECAUSE PART OF THE PROBLEM IS WHILE WE'LL HAVE THOSE FOLKS WHO WANT TO COMPLY, WHETHER WE REQUIRE A PERMIT OR JUST REQUIRE THEM TO COMPLY WITH US BEING ABLE TO ENFORCE, WE THINK THEY'RE GONNA CHECK, RIGHT? SO TO BE BLUNT, THE LATENTS ARE GONNA LOOK AT THIS, THEY'RE GONNA KNOW WHAT'S IN THERE.

IF THEY'RE THINKING OF DOING SOMETHING, THEY'LL CALL US UP OR THEY WOULD COME IN AND PULL A PERMIT EITHER WAY TO MAKE SURE THEY'RE DOING IT THE RIGHT WAY.

BUT AGAIN, THE OTHER PROBLEM WE HAVE ARE FOLKS WHO ARE MAYBE NOT AS ENGAGED AREN'T GONNA KNOW THIS EXISTS.

THEY'RE GONNA KNOW THEY'RE IN THE COUNTY, THEY'RE GONNA GO THROUGH THE COUNTY, AND WHETHER THEY WERE REQUIRED TO PULL A PERMIT OR NOT, THEY WOULDN'T KNOW THAT ADDITIONALLY AND, AND, AND HAVE THIS PROBLEM.

UM, AND SO WE THINK AVOID THAT SORT OF STEP ALTOGETHER.

NOW WE WILL WORK WITH BEXAR COUNTY TO MAKE SURE THAT THEY'RE VERY AWARE OF THIS, IF THEY WILL HELP US PROMOTE THIS FOR FOLKS WHEN THEY COME IN AND, AND IT'S IN THIS AREA AND SAY, HEY, YOU REALLY OUGHT TO TOUCH BASE WITH THE CITY OF SHIRTS.

THEY'VE GOT THIS WEIRD DEAL.

YOU, YOU PROBABLY OUGHT TO DOUBLE CHECK.

YOU'RE NOT RUNNING A FOUL THERE.

THE OTHER THING WE'RE GONNA HAVE TO DO IS FRANKLY DO A PUBLIC INFORMATION CAMPAIGN.

AND IT'S NOT SOMETHING WE DO ONCE, IT'S SOMETHING WE'RE GONNA HAVE TO PROBABLY SEND OUT A REMINDER EVERY YEAR TO FOLKS AS PROPERTY OWNERS CHANGE AND TURNOVER AND JUST TO REMIND 'EM GOING, HEY, WE HAVE THESE REGULATIONS.

JUST WANNA LET YOU KNOW THAT THEY'RE THERE.

IF YOU'RE GONNA DO WORK, YOU PROBABLY SHOULD GIVE US A CALL.

OR HEY, YOU MAY MENTION TO YOUR NEIGHBOR IF THERE, YOU SEE THEM DOING WORK TO GIVE US A CALL TO MAKE SURE THEY DON'T RUN A FOUL OF IT.

UH, AND SO THAT WE CAN KIND OF CATCH THE STUFF AS IT HAPPENS.

AND, AND REALLY THAT APPROACH IS BASED ON WHEN WE GOT INTO IT, REALLY WHAT IT IS THAT WE ARE REGULATING.

UM, AND IT'S PROBABLY A LITTLE TOUGH TO TO SEE THIS, BUT, BUT I'LL, I'LL WALK YOU THROUGH IT AND WE CAN KIND OF GO FROM THERE.

WHAT WE BASICALLY DID IS BASED ON THOSE CATEGORIES OF REGULATION THAT WE HAVE, AND THEY REALLY FALL TO LIGHTING REGULATIONS, VERTICAL OBSTRUCTIONS, UH, NOISE CONTOURS, AND THEN SORT OF DENSITY AND FLOOR AREA RATIO, THAT'S REALLY WHAT THE, THE JWS DOES AND REALLY FOR EVERYBODY IN THIS AREA.

AND SO THIS IS, THIS IS SORT OF THE WHOLE AREA.

THOSE LIGHTING AND VERTICAL OBSTRUCTIONS, UH, APPLY TO IT.

AND SO WHAT WE BASICALLY DID IS WE SAID, HEY, THOSE STANDARDS THAT WE NORMALLY HAVE THAT APPLY IN THE CITY OF SHIRTS, THAT'S REALLY WHAT WE'RE GONNA DO WITH LIGHTING.

UM, AND RIGHT NOW WITH THE WAY THIS STUFF HAPPENS, MOST OF IT'S FAIRLY COMMON SENSE, RIGHT? IT'S IT'S SHIELDED LIGHTING, DOWN LIGHTING, THINGS LIKE THAT.

BUT THE PROVISION IS THEY'VE GOTTA COMPLY WITH, UH, OUR LIGHTING REGULATIONS

[00:40:01]

WHAT WE WENT WITH ON THE VERTICAL OBSTRUCTION, AND THIS IS SOME THINGS WE'LL GET FEEDBACK FOR, IS WE BASICALLY SET A 35 FOOT CAP ON THE HEIGHT OF THINGS OUT THERE.

AND SO IF YOU'RE UNDER 35 FEET, YOU'RE GOOD TO GO.

IF YOU WANT TO DO SOMETHING ABOVE 35 FEET, YOU'VE GOTTA COME INTO US.

THE PROCESS WE HAD ON THAT IS TO, TO GO THROUGH A A AN SUP KIND OF PROCESS AND THAT WE WANT TO GET FEEDBACK FROM THE RESIDENTS ON, BUT WE THINK THAT'S THE SIMPLEST WAY TO DO IT.

WHILE THERE IS THIS HEIGHT SLOPE STANDARD, IT CAN BECOME FAIRLY CONFUSING AND, AND THE PROCESS OF, OF RANDOLPH AND JBSA PROVIDING FEEDBACK ON THOSE CAN TAKE A WHILE.

WHAT WE THOUGHT WE'D DO IS GENERALLY SORT OF CAP IT AT 35 FEET.

IF YOU'RE UNDER 35 FEET, YOU'RE GOOD TO GO.

DON'T WORRY ABOUT IT.

IF YOU'RE OVER 35 FEET, THAT'S WHERE WE NEED TO SPEND SOME TIME WITH YOU.

AND WE GO THROUGH THE PROCESS AND WE CAN SEE WHAT THAT APPROPRIATE HEIGHT.

MAYBE IT'S NOT 35, MAYBE IT'S 40, MAYBE IT'S 45, SOMETHING LIKE THAT.

BUT THE IDEA IS THAT IF WE SET THIS CAP THAT I THINK FOR MOST FOLKS OUT THERE, CALL IT 98% OF PEOPLE IS GONNA WORK FOR 'EM, THAT'S A SIMPLER PROCESS FOR THOSE 98%.

IT'S A LITTLE MORE COMPLICATED FOR THE 2%, BUT WE THINK THAT'S MAYBE A BETTER WAY TO GO THAN TO COMPLICATE IT FOR EVERYBODY.

BUT WE'LL SEE WHAT THE FEEDBACK SORT OF SAYS.

AND THEN WE GET INTO THE, THE DENSITY AND THE FAR AND THE FAR IS FOUR AREA RATIO.

AND THIS IS REALLY THE SMALLEST AREA THAT'S IMPACTED, RIGHT? IT'S GENERALLY IN THE, THE, THE A PZ, UH, IT'S A LITTLE BIT OF LAND HERE THAT'S NOT REALLY EVEN DEVELOPABLE, BUT IT ARE.

THESE PROPERTIES UP HERE, UM, OFF IN, IN THE BIGGEST ARE, ARE KIND OF RIGHT OVER HERE, UH, AT THAT SORT OF SOUTHWEST CORNER OF 78 AND 1518.

AND WHAT WE BASICALLY SAID WITH, WITH THAT IS THAT THE DENSITY AND FAR THAT FALLS BACK TO THE DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSES, UH, REGULATION THAT WE'VE INCLUDED, UH, WITH REGARD TO THE FAR AND THE FLOOR AREA RATIO.

SO THAT'S THE DOD INSTRUCTION, 4 1 6, 5 0.57, TALKED WITH SOME OF YOU ABOUT IT, WHICH IS THE AIR INSTALLATION COMPATIBLE USE ZONE.

AND SO AGAIN, THAT TALKS ABOUT USES THAT ARE ALLOWED, IT TALKS ABOUT FLOOR AREA RATIO THAT'S ALLOWED AND DENSITY THAT GOES WITH THAT.

SO THIS, AGAIN, BY GOING WITH THIS METHOD OF WE'VE KIND OF GOT THESE SUB ZONES, WE'RE NOT IMPACTING FOLKS WHO MAYBE LIVE OVER IN THIS AREA WITH A REGULATION THAT DOESN'T AFFECT 'EM.

AND AGAIN, OUR BALANCE AND WE'VE TALKED ABOUT STAFF'S APPROACH, YOU CAN TRY TO GET REALLY NUANCED WITH THIS STUFF, BUT THE NUANCED STUFF MAKES IT REALLY TRICKY AND KIND OF CONFUSING.

IT'S HARDER TO UNDERSTAND.

IT'S, IT'S A LITTLE MORE DIFFICULT TO TO IMPLEMENT.

AND SO WE TRIED TO STRIKE THIS BALANCE WITH BASICALLY SAYING, HEY, WE'VE GOT THESE THREE DIFFERENT MAPS, DEPENDING ON WHAT AREA YOU'RE IN, DIFFERENT REGS APPLY.

SO AGAIN, FOR THE FOLKS WHO LIVE IN THESE AREAS, ALL OF THESE REGS WILL APPLY THE DENSITY AND FAR AS WELL AS THE LIGHTING AND VERTICAL OBSTRUCTION.

AND THEN THE LAST ONE IS THE, UM, THE SOUND ATTENUATION.

AND GENERALLY THESE ARE THE AREAS WHERE THOSE SOUND CONTOURS COME IN.

AND AGAIN, THERE IS A SEPARATE SOUND CONTOUR MAP.

IT, YOU GOTTA REALLY GET IN THERE AND LOOK AT WHICH CONTOUR YOU FALL INTO IN WHICH REGULATION APPLY.

BUT AGAIN, BALANCING THAT NOT BEING SO TRICKY AND CONFUSING AND NUANCED WITH A LITTLE MORE GENERAL AND BASED ON THOSE CONTOURS, WE CREATED THIS AREA TO SORT OF COVER IT.

AND SO AGAIN, THOSE FOLKS, BASICALLY, IF THEY'RE WITHIN THE, UH, 65 DB A OR GREATER, THAT'S THE THE DECIMAL MEASUREMENT.

THEY'VE GOTTA COMPLY WITH THE SOUND ATTENUATION REGULATIONS THAT ARE IN THE CITY OF SHIRTS.

SO AGAIN, FOR SOME OF THESE FOLKS, IT'S THE SOUND REGULATION, THE LIGHTING REGULATION.

THAT'S JUST WHAT PEOPLE IN CITY OF SHIRTS HAVE TO DO.

IT'S REALLY NO DIFFERENT THAN THAT.

SAME REALLY WITH, WITH A LOT OF THE REGS.

UH, BUT THE, WHAT WE THOUGHT THE SIMPLEST WAS WAS TO CREATE THESE MAPS.

AGAIN, IF THIS IS WHAT WE GO WITH, WE'LL PUT 'EM ONLINE.

WE'LL SEND OUT POSTCARDS WITH LINKS TO IT.

WE'LL DO IT BY PARCEL NUMBER SO FOLKS CAN, CAN FIND THAT.

UH, BUT AGAIN, IF YOU'RE, IF YOU'RE OUT HERE WHERE THE MAJORITY OF FOLKS ARE, THAT'S REALLY THE, THE FEWEST REGULATIONS THAT THEY'LL HAVE TO, IT'S REALLY THAT LIGHTING.

IT'S REALLY THE VERTICAL OBSTRUCTION.

AND, AND WE THINK IT'S, IT'S NOT TERRIBLY ONEROUS ON, ON FOLKS.

UM, AGAIN, IF YOU'RE THE FOLKS IN THIS AREA, YOU'VE REALLY GOT THE MOST RAKES.

YOU'VE GOT THE LIGHTING, YOU'VE GOT THE VERTICAL OBSTRUCTION, YOU'VE GOT THE DENSITY, YOU'VE GOT THE FAR

[00:45:01]

AND IF YOU'RE IN THIS GROUP, YOU KIND OF HAVE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD, YOU'VE GOT THE SOUND AND YOU'VE GOT THE, UH, LIGHTING AND VERTICAL OBSTRUCTION.

I WILL SAY ON THE SOUND CONTR, WHAT WE FIND IS WE, WE HAVE SOME HOMES THAT HAVE COME IN THAT ARE IN THE CITY OF SHIRTS IN THAT 65 DBA THAT THIS APPLIES TO.

WE HAVEN'T REALLY FOUND THIS TO, TO GET A LOT, TO GET VERY MANY COMPLAINTS AT ALL BECAUSE GENERALLY WHAT, WHAT FOLKS SAY IS, HEY, THE STUFF THAT YOU'RE REQUIRING ON THE SOUND ATTENUATION, IT'S THINGS WE ALREADY HAVE TO DO TO MEET THE ENERGY EFFICIENCY, RIGHT? THE ENERGY EFFICIENCY STUFF THAT, THAT YOU HAVE TO DO WITH INSULATION TENDS TO BE THE SAME SORT OF STUFF YOU DO TO MEET THE SOUND CONTOUR.

SO EVEN THOSE FOLKS, AND, AND WE CAN PROVIDE SOME MORE FEEDBACK.

WE HAVEN'T, HAVEN'T GOTTEN A LOT OF COMPLAINTS ON IT.

AND AGAIN, I WANNA BE CLEAR, THIS IS NOT STUFF THAT WE'RE RETROACTIVELY GONNA DO.
