UM, TODAY I HAVE THE PRIVILEGE OF INTRODUCING GRACE ZUKI.

SHE'S OUR NEWEST EVENT ATTENDANT AT THE CIVIC CENTER.

GRACE IS FROM KENYA AND SPENT TIME IN ETHIOPIA TO GAIN HER BACHELOR'S OF BIBLICAL AND CHRISTIAN MINISTRY FROM THE MEITE CRISTO SEMINARY IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE ELCOT IN INDIANA.

WE HAVE OUR ASSISTANT CITY MANAGER, SARAH GONZALEZ.

YES, THANK YOU MAYOR.

I'M EXCITED TO BE HERE TONIGHT TO INTRODUCE THE FOURTH HOW BALDWIN SCHOLARSHIP RECIPIENT AT THE MAY 12TH MEETING.

COUNCIL APPROVED THE RESOLUTION TO AWARD ALL FOUR RECIPIENTS THIS YEAR.

UH, KAYLIN WILLIAMS WAS UNABLE TO ATTEND THAT NIGHT BECAUSE SHE WAS AT A BAND CONCERT, SO, UM, I THINK THAT'S A PRETTY GOOD REASON TO NOT BE ABLE TO MAKE IT.

BUT I'M EXCITED TO ANNOUNCE SHE IS HERE TONIGHT, SO I'D LIKE TO BRING HER UP, KAYLIN.

ALL RIGHT, SO A LITTLE BIT ABOUT KAYLYN BEFORE WE INVITE EVERYBODY DOWN FOR A PHOTO.

UH, KAYLYN WILLIAMS WAS A SENIOR AT STEEL HIGH SCHOOL AND SHE'LL BE ATTENDING THE UNIVERSITY OF TEXAS IN THE FALL.

HER GOAL IS TO EARN A DEGREE IN INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS AND GLOBAL STUDIES FOCUSING ON ASIAN STUDIES.

SHE PLANS TO JOIN THE A-F-R-O-T-C PROGRAM TO COMMISSION INTO THE AIR FORCE AS AN OFFICER AFTER GRADUATION.

SHE IS MOTIVATED TO PURSUE A MILITARY CAREER AFTER WITNESSING THE PROFOUND IMPACT THE MILITARY HAS HAD ON HER OWN FAMILY, AND SHE WANTS TO CONTINUE AND HONOR HER DAD'S MILITARY LEGACY.

SHE IS EXCITED FOR HER FUTURE TO WORK ON BEHALF OF THE AMERICAN PEOPLE.

IN A DYNAMIC CAREER AS AN AIR FORCE OFFICER AND FOREIGN SERVICES OFFICER, KAYLYN STATES THAT THE MEANING OF PUBLIC SERVICE TO HER IS ABOUT PUTTING ASIDE YOUR OWN PROBLEMS AND FOCUSING ON HELPING THE NEEDS OF OTHERS EVEN, AND ESPECIALLY WHEN IT DOESN'T, DOESN'T DIRECTLY BENEFIT YOU, A SACRIFICE THAT IS TRULY EXCEPTIONAL.

SHE SAYS THAT PUBLIC SERVICE IS ABOUT CREATING A POSITIVE DIFFERENCE THAT WILL LAST FOR GENERATIONS TO COME.

SO AGAIN, CONGRATULATIONS TO KAYLIN, AND IF WE CAN HAVE THE MAYOR, STEVE, AND, UH, MR. COUNCIL MEMBER MACALUSO AND COUNCIL MEMBER GUERRERO, WHO ARE PART OF THE COMMITTEE TO COME DOWN TO TAKE A PHOTO.

WE HAVE ONE THAT IS GONNA BE AT THE KRAMER HOUSE, UH, WITH

[00:15:01]

INSPERITY.

THAT'S A SMALL BUSINESS OWNER.

UH, SHE DOES PEO AND THAT'S AT 3:00 PM.

UH, THE ONE I KNOW EVERYBODY HAS BEEN WAITING FOR IS PORTILLOS.

THAT IS GONNA BE AT NINE 30 IN THE MORNING ON THE NINTH.

UM, THAT RIBBON CUTTING HAS BEEN LONG ANTICIPATED.

WE'VE HAD TO RESCHEDULE QUITE A FEW TIMES, BUT IT IS HAPPENING NINE 30 ON THE NINTH.

ON THE 10TH, WE HAVE SMOKEY MO'S AT SHIRT STATION AND THAT WILL BE DOING THEIR GRAND OPENING AT 4:00 PM ON THE 24TH.

WE HAVE TEXAS TEA CAFE, WHICH IS OPENING AT 4:00 PM FOR THEIR RIBBON CUTTING.

AND THEY'RE LOCATED, UH, RIGHT OFF OF 3 0 0 9 IN FRONT OF THE WALMART AREA.

UH, WE ALSO HAVE OUR CHAMBER MONTHLY LUNCHEON.

UM, AND I LOVE THE TITLE, IS YOUR WEBSITE KILLING YOUR BUSINESS? WE HAVE A DIGITAL STRATEGIST THAT'S GONNA COME IN AND KIND OF, I THINK HE SAYS ROAST YOUR WEBSITE BEFORE YOU'RE GHOSTED.

UH, HE HAS SOME REALLY TIMELY TIPS ABOUT WHAT YOU MAY BE DOING THAT IS ACTUALLY DRIVING PEOPLE AWAY FROM YOUR BUSINESS.

AND SO HE WILL BE SPEAKING AT OUR LUNCHEON.

AND THEN OUR FIRST SUMMER SMOOTHIE OF THE MONTH AND OF THE SUMMER IS ON THE 26TH.

THAT'S AT TROPICAL SMOOTHIE CAFE.

UH, IT'S FROM SEVEN 30 TO NINE IN THE MORNING.

Y'ALL ARE INVITED TO COME OUT.

UH, STEVE AND JOHN ALWAYS HAS WHATEVER SMOOTHIES YOU WANT, SOME BREAKFAST GOODIES AND EVERYTHING.

AND, UM, BEYOND THAT, UH, WE ARE WORKING RIGHT NOW ON OUR CHAMBER BOWL, WHICH IS GOING TO BE THE SCHOLARSHIPS THAT, UH, WE WANNA GIVE TO THE DECA STUDENTS AT CLEMMENS AND STEEL HIGH SCHOOLS.

WE ARE CLOSE TO HAVING BEEN AWARDED $200,000 IN THE PAST 12 YEARS THAT WE HAVE BEEN DOING THIS.

AND MY GOAL THIS YEAR IS I WOULD LOVE TO GIVE THEM $15,000 TO SPLIT BETWEEN THE TWO SCHOOLS.

LAST YEAR WE WERE OFF BY A FEW THOUSAND, BUT, UH, I KNOW TEAM SHIRTS IS GONNA RESURGE AND, UH, COME AND CONQUER TEAM SLO AND TEAM SELMA I'S JUST CHUNKING THAT OUT THERE.

UH, BUT IF YOU NEED ANY MORE INFORMATION, PLEASE GO TO THE CHAMBER INFO.

AND NEXT, UH, WE HAVE UHM TURKI LESKI 7 0 5 MARYLAND DRIVE, SHERIFF TEXAS, OF COURSE, MAYOR COUNCIL, MR. WILLIAMS. MR. SANTI, AS YOU KNOW, WE HAD NUMEROUS ELECTIONS SINCE NOVEMBER AND THIS LAST ELECTION WE HAD, I WON'T GET INTO BEHAVIOR, BUT I WILL GET INTO THINGS THAT I OBSERVED AT THE POLLING PLACE AT THE COUNTY.

I KNOW Y'ALL DO NOT HAVE RESPONSIBILITY ON WHAT WENT ON AT THE COUNTY.

HOWEVER, THERE WAS POLITICAL SIGNS NAILED TO A TREE, A 50-YEAR-OLD TREE.

THERE WAS POLITICAL SIGNS HUNG FROM A NEWLY PAINTED LIGHT FIXTURE.

SIGNS HUNG FROM THE IN AND OUT, GETTING INTO THE PARKING LOT, LEAVING THE PARKING LOT, AND NUMEROUS SIGNS.

NOW I KNOW Y'ALL HAVE ALREADY HAD A POLICY ON NUMEROUS SIGNS, HOWEVER, THERE'S A NEWBIE.

WHAT OTHER, THE CANDIDATES HAD AT LEAST A TWO BY FOUR OR THREE BY FIVE FLAG ON A STAFF, WHICH THE SUPPORTERS WERE WAVING IN AND OUT LIKE THEY WERE AT LANDING JETS ON AN AIRCRAFT CARRIER.

THEY WERE DOING THIS ON THE SIDEWALK AND AT THE ENTRANCE TO THE POLLING PLACE.

WHEN IT WASN'T BEING FLOWN BY THE SUPPORTER, IT WAS STUCK IN THE GROUND IN THE GRASSY AREA LIKE THEY HAD JUST LANDED.

COLUMBUS HAD JUST LANDED AND DECIDED TO HAVE THAT PROPERTY.

MY CONCERN IS WHAT HAPPENS IN NOVEMBER AT OUR COMMUNITY, WE HAVE 10 PEOPLE OUT THERE WAVING A FLAG ON A STAFF IN FRONT OF PEOPLE THAT ARE TRYING TO WALK ON THE SIDEWALK AND STUDENTS TRYING TO CROSS THE CROSSWALK IN ADDITION TO THE TRAFFIC THAT COMES DOWN.

CHURCH PARKWAY.

I'M ASKING YOU TO REVIEW A POLICY ON HANDHELD FLAGS AS SUCH.

Y'ALL HAVE ALREADY HAD THE FLAGS THAT ARE PUT IN FOR BUSINESSES.

THAT WILL BE ANOTHER DISTRACTION IF SAY 10 PEOPLE COME UP AND THERE'S THEY'RE POLITICKING.

I JUST WANT A THOUGHT PROCESS THERE AS TO HOW YOU'RE GONNA HANDLE THAT.

'CAUSE I THINK THERE'S GONNA BE A SAFETY ISSUE.

BE MOVING ON TO THE CONSENT AGENDA ITEMS. THE CONSENT AGENDA ITEMS IS CONSIDERED SELF-EXPLANATORY AND WILL BE ENACTED BY THE COUNSEL WITH ONE MOTION.

WE'LL

[ Consent Agenda Items The Consent Agenda is considered self-explanatory and will be enacted by the Council with one motion. There will be no separate discussion of these items unless they are removed from the Consent Agenda upon the request of the Mayor or a Councilmember.]

THERE WILL BE NO SEPARATE DISCUSSION OF THESE ITEMS UNLESS THEY ARE REMOVED FROM THE CONSENT AGENDA.

UPON THE REQUEST

[00:20:01]

OF THE MAYOR OR COUNCIL MEMBER, DO I HAVE ANY COUNCIL MEMBER WANTING TO REMOVE ANY ITEM FROM THE CONSENT AGENDA? OKAY.

HAVING NOBODY WANTING TO REMOVE ANY CONSENT AGENDA ITEMS, CAN I HAVE A MOTION TO APPROVE ITEMS ONE THROUGH SIX ON THE CONSENT AGENDA ITEM? SO MOVED SECOND.

CAN I GET EVERYONE TO CAST A VOTE? CAN I GET THE VOTES PUBLISHED PLEASE? OKAY.

HAVING SEVEN YAYS, NO NAYS.

NOW WE WILL MOVE

[7. Resolution 26-R-072 - Authorizing a Notice of Intention to Issue Bonds (S. Gonzalez/J.Walters)]

ON TO ITEM SEVEN.

DISCUSSION AND ACTION ITEMS. UH, ITEM SEVEN WILL BE RESOLUTION 26 DASH R DASH 0 7 2 AUTHORIZING A NOTICE OF INTENTION TO ISSUE BONDS.

AND WE HAVE MR. WALTERS.

GOOD EVENING, MAYOR AND COUNSEL.

MY NAME IS JAMES WALTERS.

I'M THE FINANCE DIRECTOR HERE FOR THE CITY OF SHIRTZ.

UH, THIS RESOLUTION BEFORE YOU IS A CONTINUATION OF THE PRESENTATION WE HAD AT THE LAST COUNCIL MEETING.

UH, THIS RESOLUTION IF PASSED OFFICIALLY KICKS OFF, UH, THE DEBT ISSUANCE PROCESS, ALLOWING THE CITY TO START ADVERTISING IN THE PAPERS AND SETTING UP THE REQUIRED TIMELINE BEFORE THOSE, UH, BONDS CAN ACTUALLY BE SOLD.

UM, IN THE PACKET WILL INCLUDE A LIST OF PROJECTS AS WELL AS THE, UH, THE TIMELINE THAT WE HAD PRESENTED AT THE PREVIOUS MEETING.

UM, IF THERE'S ANY QUESTIONS, HAPPY TO ANSWER.

DO YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS BY ANY COUNCIL MEMBERS? WE HAVE, UH, COUNCIL MEMBER ROBERT SHERIDAN.

GOOD EVENING.

UM, REAL QUICK, CAN YOU GIVE SOME DETAILS IN REGARDS TO THIS BOND, UM, FOR THE, YOU KNOW, JUST FOR TRANSPARENCY? SURE.

UH, THIS BOND, LEMME PULL UP THE AGENDA ITEM AND KNOW SOME INTENT.

UH, UH, THIS BOND IS FUNDING OUR CIP PROGRAM, WHICH IS ADOPTED WITH THE BUDGET LAST YEAR.

SO IT HAD A LIST OF PROJECTS THAT WERE EITHER UNDERWAY OR ABOUT TO GET UNDERWAY.

AND THIS IS THE REQUIRED FUNDING SOURCE IDENTIFIED DURING THAT TIMELINE.

UM, LOWER SINE ROAD IMPROVEMENTS, THE FINAL $3.2 MILLION THAT WE, WE PROJECTED WE NEEDED FOR THAT ONE.

UM, THE ANNUAL SPAM, THE 1.4 MILLION NORTH LIFT COUNTRY PUBLIC STATES, 1.7, SAVANNAH MILL AND OVERWEIGHT, 1.4, UH, THE GENERATORS FOR, UH, COMMUNITY CENTER BUILDING ONE AND PUBLIC SAFETY COMPLEX.

AND THEN THE WENDY'S SAW DRAINAGE IMPROVEMENTS, WHICH WOULD BE FUNDED BY DRAINAGE.

UM, NOT PART OF THE, UH, THE GENERAL FUND OR THE, THE TAX RATE.

UM, ALL THESE PROJECTS WERE IDENTIFIED AS BOND FUNDED, UH, DURING THE LAST CIP, UM, ADOPTION.

AND THIS IS A CONTINUATION OF THOSE PROJECTS GOING FORWARD WITH THAT WENDY'S WAND DRAINAGE IMPROVEMENT, WHAT'S THAT? YOU KNOW, 1.1 MILLION, WHAT, CAN YOU KIND OF ELABORATE ON THAT A LITTLE BIT? SURE.

UM, YEAH, BRIAN, CAN WE TALK ABOUT IT? THIS IS, UH, UH, RIGHT NEXT TO THE, OR HAVE LARRY COME UP.

UH, THIS IS THE DRAINAGE BEHIND THE WENDY SWAN, UH, PARK AND POOL MM-HMM .

UM, AND SOME OF THE UPGRADES THAT THEY'RE GONNA DO FOR THAT.

THAT'S CORRECT.

SO, AND ACTUALLY, CAN I JUST SAY ONE THING REAL QUICK AND AS A REMINDER, UH, JUST FOR THE PUBLIC AND FOR COUNCIL EDIFICATION, WE DO HAVE THE CIP ON THE WEBPAGE AND WE ALSO HAVE A, A, A CAPITAL PROJECTS PAGE WITH THE PROJECTS ON IT, WITH A LOT OF INFORMATION.

ENCOURAGE FOLKS TO GO OUT THERE AND TAKE A LOOK AT IT AND LOOK AT SOME OF THESE DESCRIPTIONS.

SO, UH, WENDY SWAN PARK, THAT'S, UH, CHERRY TREE IN, UH, NORTH CLIFF.

AND SO, UH, THAT IS, IS THE DRAINAGE AT THE, THE BACK OF THE LOT.

SO THERE'S SOME UNDERGROUND DRAINAGE ON THE UPSTREAM HOUSES.

IT GOES THROUGH THE PARK RIGHT NOW.

THERE'S A, A COUPLE LARGE RETAINING WALLS THAT HAVE KIND OF OVER TIME, THEY'RE TILTING A LITTLE BIT.

SO WE, UH, SO AT SOME POINT WE NEED TO HANDLE THIS.

WE HAD IDENTIFIED THIS AGAIN, UH, PRIOR WHEN WE STARTED THIS CIP, AND THEN THIS WAS THE YEAR WE WERE SLATED TO DO IT.

SO WE'VE BEEN WORKING ON DESIGN WORK.

UH, HOPEFULLY WE CAN GET TO CONSTRUCTION.

WHAT WE PLAN TO DO IS TAKE THOSE WALLS DOWN, UH, ACTUALLY PUT IT UNDERGROUND SO IT'S SOME MORE USABLE SPACE FOR THE PARK.

UH, BUT AGAIN, THEY NEEDED TO BE ADDRESSED.

AND SO THAT'S THE PROJECT.

IT BASICALLY GOES ALONG THE BACK OF THE PARK AND THEN DISCHARGE AT THE DOWNSTREAM AND, OKAY.

ON THE IDENTIFIED PROJECTS.

NEXT WE HAVE, UH, COUNCIL MEMBER BEN GUERRERO.

IF YOU, UH, PUT THAT, PUT THAT BACK ON THE SCREEN WHERE IT SAYS, UH, THE TOTAL BOND SALE IS PROPOSED TO BE 9,850,000 WITH 8,750,000 ALLOCATED TO THE GENERAL FUND AND 1 MILLION OR 1.1 MILLION TO THE GEN, TO THE DRAINAGE FUND.

HOW DO YOU DETERMINE THE 8.7 TO GENERAL FUND AND 1.1 TO THE DRAINAGE FUND? HOW DID YOU COME UP WITH THOSE NUMBERS? IT'S BASED

[00:25:01]

SO THE WENDY SWAN PART OF THE CIP, UH, WHEN HE SW DRAINAGE WAS $1.1 MILLION, UM, OF POTENTIAL POTENTIAL, UH, CONSTRUCTION AND DESIGN COSTS, UH, THAT STILL NEEDED TO BE, UM, RAISED.

AND SO, UM, THAT'S WHERE WE GOT THE GENERAL FUND.

THAT'S WHERE WE GOT THE DRAINAGE FUND NUMBER.

UH, SO IN THERE IT SAID THIS PROJECT WOULD COST $1.1 MILLION OF, OF GENERAL EXPENDITURES IN THE 26 27, UH, SORRY, IN THE 25, 26 FISCAL YEAR.

UH, AND WE STILL NEEDED TO FUND THAT $1.1 MILLION.

AND WE IDENTIFIED, UH, BOND FUNDING AS THE SOURCE OF THOSE.

AND NOW HOW DID YOU COME UP WITH THE, AS FAR AS THE ROAD IMPROVEMENTS AND HOW DID YOU ALLOCATE THOSE? HOW'D YOU COME UP WITH THOSE, THOSE NUMBERS? SO THESE PROJECTS ARE EITHER, UM, ONGOING AND SO WE STARTED TO WORK ON 'EM, LIKE THE, THE LOWERS ROAD.

SOME OF THE FENCES ARE STARTING, STARTING TO GO, UH, THIS WOULD KIND OF COMPLETE THE PROJECT.

UM, OTHER PROJECTS ARE ABOUT TO GET KICKED OFF.

SO THOSE PROJECTS WERE, UH, WITHIN THE, UH, WE'RE REVIEWED BY THE ENGINEERING DEPARTMENT, UM, BASED ON THE BOTH ROADS USAGE AND HOW MUCH MONEY WE'D SPEND ON 'EM AND WHAT WE THINK WE COULD GET OUT OF, UM, SOME OF THE MILL AND OVERLAY ON THE SAVANNAH, LET'S SAY.

UM, IF WE COULD PUT A LITTLE BIT MONEY TOWARDS THAT PROJECT, NOW WE GET A LOT MORE LIFE OUTTA THE ROAD, WHICH WILL SAVE US MONEY LATER SO WE DON'T HAVE TO, UH, DO A REHABILITATION QUITE AS SOON.

UM, SO BASICALLY THE, UM, THEY IDENTIFIED THE PROJECTS AND LIST OF ORDER OF WHAT THEY BELIEVE TO BE THE MOST, UM, UM, IMPACT ON THE CITY FOR, UM, TRAVEL, UH, ROAD CONGESTION, AS WELL AS, UM, MOST BANG FOR OUR BUCK.

SO WHICH ONE WOULD BE THE MOST, UH, COST EFFICIENT.

UH, SO ALL THOSE FACTORS GO INTO HOW THEY RANK THE DIFFERENT PROJECTS, UH, FOR STREETS, UM, AS WELL AS FOR, UM, OTHER PROJECTS.

UH, WE PUT THAT ALL THAT INTO A CIP, WE KIND OF MATCH FUNDING SOURCES, LIKE, OH, WE THINK WE'LL HAVE THIS AMOUNT OF MONEY AVAILABLE, UH, FOR THIS YEAR.

UH, FINANCE AND ENGINEERING THEN WORK TOGETHER TO GO, OH, WE HAVE THIS MUCH MONEY.

THESE ARE THE PROJECTS THEY HAVE THE MOST PRIORITY.

UM, AND SO, UH, WE OBVIOUSLY DON'T HAVE ENOUGH FUNDING TO DO EVERYTHING WITHIN THE TIMEFRAME THAT WE'D LIKE TO DO.

SO YOU'RE PRIORITIZING ON DIFFERENT FACTORS IS WHAT YOU'RE SAYING? SORRY.

YES.

DIFFERENT FACTORS.

UH, P AND CONDITION INDEX IS HOW FAR THE ROAD DETERIORATES.

UM, WE ALSO LOOK AT TRAFFIC COUNTS, UM, AS WELL AS EXTENDING THE USEFUL LIFE IS GENERALLY CHEAPER THAN LETTING IT FALL INTO RUIN AND THEN REBUILDING THE WHOLE THING.

SO THOSE ARE BASICALLY THE THREE THINGS THAT, THAT GO INTO THE THANK YOU.

ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? YEAH, ONE MORE.

UM, I'M SORRY I SENT YOU AN EMAIL EARLIER AND I, I APPRECIATE YOU GETTING BACK WITH ME.

NOW.

THE QUESTION WAS, AND I I APPRECIATE YOUR ANSWER.

YOU KNOW, YOU, YOU SAID WE HAVE 20 MILLION AVAILABLE IN OUR GENERAL FUND.

NOW WHAT'S THE DECISION IN NOT USING THE GENERAL FUND, YOU KNOW, AND US ISSUING THE CERTIFICATE OF OBLIGATION? SO THERE'S, UM, THESE PROJECTS WERE IDENTIFIED AS BOND FUNDING.

AND AS WE, WE TALKED ABOUT, UH, FOR COS THERE'S A CERTAIN AMOUNT OF TIMEFRAME FROM THE TIME WE START ISSUING THE NOTICES BEFORE WE FUND, TANK BEFORE, SORRY, BEFORE WE CAN ACTUALLY MAKE THE SALE.

UM, SO IF WE WANT EVEN TO CONSIDER DEBT FUNDING FOR THESE KIND OF PROJECTS, WE WOULD HAVE TO START TONIGHT AND THEN, UM, GO FORWARD FROM THERE.

AND AT ANY TIME COUNSEL CAN LET US KNOW, WITHDRAW AND WE DON'T HAVE TO GO FORWARD WITH THE SALE.

UM, THE OTHER FACTOR IS, UH, WE HAVE THOSE FUNDS, UH, WE'VE IDENTIFIED, UH, CERTAIN PRIORITIES WE WANT TO USE THOSE FUNDS ON.

UM, AT THE LAST BUDGET PRE-BUDGET RETREAT, THERE WERE SOME TALK ABOUT MOVING SOME ROAD PROJECTS FORWARD.

AND SO IF WE, IF WE EVER WANT TO ACCELERATE THE CIP THAT COST ADDITIONAL FUNDS, UH, SOME OF THE PROJECTS IDENTIFIED WERE, UM, A LITTLE MORE COSTLY, UH, WHICH WOULD EAT UP A GOOD CHUNK OR ALL OF THOSE ADDITIONAL FUNDS THAT WE HAD IDENTIFIED.

UH, SO THE QUESTION IS, DO WE, UM, USE SOME OF THAT MONEY TO OFFSET THIS DEBT ISSUANCE OR WE CAN CONTINUE WITH THIS PROJECT AND JUST ACCELERATE THOSE ADDITIONAL PROJECTS.

UH, THAT'S GENERALLY WHAT YOU COULD DO WITH EXCESS, EITHER MOVE THINGS FORWARD OR, UM, REINVEST THOSE IN EXISTING PROJECTS, UM, DO DEBT.

SO THAT'S, YEAH, THAT, IF I COULD MAYBE ADD A LITTLE BIT TO THAT AND, AND COUNSEL WILL MAKE SURE WE GET THAT RESPONSE OUT TO ALL OF Y'ALL.

THE CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM IS, AS YOU KNOW, IS IN THE COUPLE OF HUNDRED MILLION DOLLAR RANGE.

SO THE EXCESS THAT WE HAVE IN THE GENERAL FUND FUND BALANCE IS A SMALLER AMOUNT, BUT IT'S CASH.

YOU CAN CONSIDER IT, CONSIDER IT LIKE HAVING CASH IN YOUR WALLET AND IT'S VERY FLEXIBLE IN WHAT YOU CAN USE IT FOR.

SO WE TEND TO USE THAT ON SMALLER CAPITAL ITEMS. SO THINGS THAT ARE EQUIPMENT REPLACEMENTS OR HVAC OR THINGS THAT ARE SMALLER IN NATURE WILL, WILL RESERVE THAT FOR THAT.

IN TERMS OF HOW WE PLAN OUT THAT COUPLE OF HUNDRED MILLION DOLLARS THINGS HAVE A, THAT HAVE A LONGER LIFE AND THAT WE WILL BE ABLE TO UTILIZE AS AN ASSET FOR A LONGER PERIOD OF TIME, WE TEND TO ASSIGN DEBT FOR THAT.

[00:30:01]

SO THAT THAT'S ALL OUTLINED IN OUR CIP AND WE WILL BE HAVING A BUDGET RETREAT.

THAT'LL BE A BIG COMPONENT OF OUR BUDGET RETREAT THIS FALL.

HOW WE LAY ALL THAT OUT AND, AND HOW WE PLAN OUT THESE DEBT ISSUANCES.

SO WE HAVE, WE HAVE A LITTLE BIT OF CASH THAT WE'RE ABLE TO USE, BUT THEN WE ALSO HAVE ALL THESE OTHER PROJECTS THAT WE USE, OTHER SOURCES LIKE GRANTS AND, AND FOR THE MOST PART DEBT FOR THE GENERAL GOVERNMENT TYPE STUFF.

SO I UNDERSTAND THAT THIS, THIS IS JUST A NOTICE.

BUT YOU KNOW, WE CAN, YOU KNOW, AT THE NEXT PRE-BUDGET TREE, A TREE RETREAT, EXCUSE ME.

YES SIR.

THAT WE CAN MAKE CHANGES IF NEEDED.

YOU KNOW, LIKE MAYBE OFF BALANCE WITH SOME OF THE GENERAL FUNDS ALONG WITH THE COE IF ABSOLUTELY.

YOU USE IT IN THE, YOU WANT TO CONSIDER IT IN THE GLOBAL STRATEGY, RIGHT? RIGHT.

IN TERMS OF APPLYING IT TOWARDS THE, I THINK IT'S A HUNDRED AND HOWEVER MANY $150 MILLION OVER THE NEXT FIVE YEARS.

RIGHT.

SO IF WE'VE GOT 20 MILLION EXTRA DOLLARS, HOW DOES THAT FIT IN AND WHAT DO WE PUT IT TO? IS THIS THE BEST PLACE TO PLUG IT IN OR DO WE PLUG IT INTO THE OVERALL STRATEGY? OKAY, I'M GOOD, THANK YOU.

UM, I'M JUST GONNA SAY SOMETHING, BEN, DID YOU HAVE ANOTHER? YEAH, I, I JUST WANTED MAKE SURE THAT OUR FUNDS ARE BEING UTILIZED LIKE THEY'RE SUPPOSED TO.

I MEAN, I DON'T WANT ANY EXCESS FUNDS.

THAT'S, THAT'S ALL I'M CONCERNED ABOUT.

MAKING SURE THAT 3.2 MILLION IS GOING FOR THE IMPROVEMENT, THE ROAD IMPROVEMENTS, AND WE'RE GOING TO UTILIZE THAT MONEY.

I'M JUST MAKING SURE YES, SIR.

THAT THE FUNDS ARE GOING TO WHERE THEY'RE SUPPOSED TO.

AND, AND COUNCILMAN AND, AND I DON'T MEAN TO JUST JUMP IN HERE, BUT EACH OF THESE PROJECTS, THEY'RE OUTLINED AND WHEN YOU GO TO THE CIP, YOU'LL SEE A PROJECT SHEET ON ON EACH OF THOSE AND THE ENGINEERING DEPARTMENT WILL PUT TOGETHER THAT PROJECT ESTIMATE.

THEY USE INDUSTRY STANDARDS FOR, YOU KNOW, MAYBE LENGTHS OF LANE MILES FOR ROADS AND THE MATERIALS THAT ARE BEING CONSIDERED IN THE PROJECT, COST OF DESIGN, ET CETERA, TO BUILD AS GOOD A BUDGET AS THEY CAN.

SO EACH ONE OF THESE REPRESENTS A BUDGET THAT WAS PUT TOGETHER BY, ESPECIALLY IN THE ROAD PROJECT AND I GUESS AND IN THE DRAINAGE AS WELL, PROJECT BUDGETS THAT THEY'VE PUT TOGETHER.

AND THEN WE'VE ASSEMBLED ALL TOGETHER IN TERMS OF THIS.

AND IN TERMS OF EXCESS, JUST OVERALL AS A, AN ADDITIONAL POINT, THIS WAS ORIGINALLY SUPPOSED TO BE A $40 MILLION ISSUANCE, BUT WE'VE ADJUSTED THE CIP 'CAUSE IT'S SOMEWHAT OF A FLUID DOCUMENT IN TERMS OF TIMING OF PROJECTS.

SOMETIMES WE'RE NOT READY TO PROCEED WITH SAY THAT EXTRA 30 MILLION, SO THAT'LL BE PUSHED OUT AND WE'LL ADJUST THE CIP ACCORDINGLY.

NO.

GOTCHA.

SO WE'RE PLANNING TO MAKE SURE WE DON'T ISSUE TOO MUCH MONEY.

WELL, I JUST WANNA MAKE SURE WHEN, IF, IF THE MONEY IS ALLOCATED TO EACH AREA, I JUST WANNA MAKE SURE THAT IT'S GOING TO THAT AREA AND NOT BEING MISUSED OR BEING OVERSPENT OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT.

BECAUSE WE DO HAVE A LOT OF STUFF THAT NEEDS TO BE MAINTENANCE THROUGHOUT THE WHOLE CITY POT HOSE, UH, SIDEWALKS STREETS.

AND THAT'S MY CONCERN.

I WANT THE INFRASTRUCTURE TO BE DONE AND FOR THIS MONEY TO, TO BE USED FOR THAT.

IN THE BOND COVENANT, IT'S STRICTLY STATES WHAT THESE FUNDS CAN BE USED FOR ROADWAY IMPROVEMENTS, UM, FACILITY IMPROVEMENTS, UH, IT COULD NOT BE USED FOR ANYTHING ELSE.

CAN'T BE USED FOR PERSONNEL, CAN'T BE USED FOR EQUIPMENT, UM, OPERATING TYPE COSTS.

IT HAS TO BE USED FOR THOSE.

UM, IF THINGS COME OVER BUDGET, UM, WE, WE FIND MORE MONEY.

IF THEY COME IN MORE HIGHER THAN THAT, THEN WE FIND MORE MONEY.

IF IT COMES IN LOWER, THERE'S ALWAYS THE OPTION OF MOVING THAT MONEY BACK INTO THE INS FUND TO PAY DOWN THE DEBT.

UM, SO IF THERE'S JUST, IF THERE HAPPENS TO BE SAVINGS, THAT'S ALWAYS AN OPTION AS WELL.

UM, SO THAT WAY IT GIVES MONEY BACK TO THE, TO THE CITIZENS.

I'D LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE RESOLUTION.

I HAVE A MOTION ALREADY TO APPROVE THE SECOND.

I HAVE A MOTION MADE BY COUNCIL MEMBER, UH, PAUL MACALUSO TO APPROVE RESOLUTION 26 R DASH 0 7 2.

SECONDED BY COUNCIL MEMBER WATSON, CAN I GET EVERYBODY TO CAST THE VOTES PLEASE? CAN I GET THE VOTES PUBLISHED HAVING SEVEN YAYS, NO NAYS.

DISCUSSION AND ACTION ITEM NUMBER EIGHT, RESOLUTION 26 DASH R DASH 0 7 3.

MOVING ON TO

[8. Resolution 26-R-073 - Establish the City's intention to reimburse itself for prior expenditures on improvements from upcoming tax-exempt obligations. (S.Gonzalez/J.Walters)]

ESTABLISH THE CITY'S INTENTION TO REIMBURSE ITSELF FOR PRIOR EXPENDITURES ON IMPROVEMENTS FROM UPCOMING TAX EXEMPT OBLIGATIONS.

WE HAVE OUR FINANCE DIRECTOR, MR. JAMES WALTERS.

GOOD.

AGAIN, UH, THIS ITEM IS, UH, TIED TO THE FIRST ITEM WE JUST DID.

UH, BASICALLY THIS SAYS THAT WE CAN GO AHEAD AND GET STARTED ON SOME OF THESE PROJECTS NOW, UH, BEFORE THE DEBT FUNDS REACH US.

AND THEN ONCE THEY COME BACK TO US, WE'LL WE'LL PAY OURSELVES BACK.

UM, WE HAVE THE CASH IN THE BANK TO COVER THESE FUNDS FOR NOW.

[00:35:01]

FOR WHATEVER REASON THESE FUNDS OR THE, THE DEBT SALE DOES NOT GO THROUGH, UH, STAFF BELIEVES THAT WE HAVE ENOUGH CASH RIGHT NOW TO COVER THE EXPENSES AND WE WOULD SHIFT GEARS, UH, BASED ON COUNSEL'S DECISION, UH, IF THAT WERE THE CASE, WHETHER OR NOT TO DELAY THE PROJECTS OR FUND THEM THROUGH THE CASH BALANCES THAT WE HAVE, DEPENDING ON WHAT WHAT COMES OUT.

UH, THIS JUST LETS US TO GET STARTED ON THE PROJECTS, UM, SOONER RATHER THAN WAITING, UM, AND HELP THE CITIZENS GET THOSE PROJECTS IMPROVEMENTS DONE FASTER.

COUNCIL MEMBER WATSON, I MOTION THAT WE APPROVE RESOLUTION 26 R 0 7 3 SECOND.

[9. Ordinance 26-S-010 - Conduct a public hearing and consider a request to rezone approximately 2.1 acres of land from Pre-Development District (PRE) to General Business District (GB), generally located at the southeast corner of the intersection of FM 1518 and Ray Corbett Dr, also known as a portion of Bexar County Property Identification Number 1103267, City of Schertz, Texas.(B.James/L.Wood/D.Marquez)]

CONDUCT A PUBLIC HEARING AND CONSIDER A REQUEST TO REZONE APPROXIMATELY 2.1 ACRES OF LAND FROM PRE-DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT PRE TO GENERAL BUSINESS DISTRICT GB, UH, GENERALLY LOCATED AT THE SOUTHEAST CORNER OF THE INTERSECTION OF FM 1518 AND RADI CORBETT DRIVE, ALSO KNOWN AS A PORTION OF BEAR COUNTY PROPERTY IDENTIFICATION NUMBER ONE ONE TEN THREE TWO SIX SEVEN CITY OF CHURCH TEXAS.

WE HAVE PRESENTER DAISY MARQUEZ.

GOOD EVENING MAYOR.

MR. WILLIAMS COUNSEL, DAISY MARQUEZ, SENIOR PLANNER ORDINANCE 26 S ZERO ONE OH.

A PROPOSED 2.1 ACRE ZONE CHANGE TO GENERAL BUSINESS DISTRICT.

HERE'S THE SUBJECT PROPERTY OUTLINED IN YELLOW.

IT'S AT THE SOUTHEAST CORNER OF RAY CORBET DRIVE IN EAST FM 1518.

UM, IN PROXIMITY IS RAY CORBETT JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL.

UM, IT'S PART OF A LARGER, UH, 30 ACRE TRACT THAT ZONED PRE-DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT AGAIN, UM, TO THE SOUTH PRE-DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT.

AND THEN TO THE EAST WE HAVE THE HIGH SCHOOL AND MORE PRE-DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT.

AND THEN TO THE WEST WE HAVE 15, 18.

AND THIS, UM, APPLICATION IS ALSO ACCOMPANIED BY, UM, ITEM NUMBER 10 IN ORDINANCE 26 S 0 1 1, SO, OR 11.

AND THEN HERE ARE THE DIMENSIONAL REQUIREMENTS FOR PRE-DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT AND GENERAL BUSINESS DISTRICT.

AGAIN, PRE-DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT WAS JUST INTENDED TO BE A PLACEHOLDER AFTER THESE PROPERTIES WERE ANNEXED INTO THE CITY AND IF SOMEBODY WANTED TO DEVELOP IT LATER ON, THEY COULD COME IN AND PROMOTE, PROPOSE A ZONING DISTRICT, UM, THAT THEY WISHED.

AND, UM, THAT'S ESSENTIALLY WHAT'S HAPPENING TONIGHT.

THEY'RE PROPOSING GENERAL BUSINESS DISTRICT.

I HAVE SOME OF THE PERMITTED USES LISTED HERE ON THE TABLE.

AGAIN, PRE-DEVELOPMENT DOESN'T REALLY ALLOW MUCH, BUT GENERAL BUSINESS DISTRICT ALLOWS THINGS LIKE CAR WASHES, COMMERCIAL AMUSEMENT BUILDING MATERIAL AND HARDWARE SALES, RETAILS, THINGS LIKE THAT.

WE DID SEND OUT SIX PUBLIC NOTICES ON APRIL 23RD.

WE DID NOT RECEIVE, UM, ANY PUBLIC HEARING RESPONSES.

A NOTICE WAS PUBLISHED IN THE PAPER ON MAY 13TH.

TWO NOTIFICATION SIGNS WERE PLACED BY THE APPLICANT AND THIS DID GO TO THE MAY 6TH, 2026 PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION FOR A PUBLIC HEARING.

AGAIN, HERE'S THE SUBJECT PROPERTY OUTLINE IN GREEN.

IT'S CURRENTLY ZONE PRE-DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT AND THEY'RE PROPOSING GENERAL BUSINESS DISTRICT ON THAT HARD CORNER.

AND WHEN IT COMES TO ZONE CHANGES, STAFF LOOKS TOWARDS THE CRITERIA IN UDC SECTION 2154 D FOR THE CRITERIA OF APPROVAL.

SO THIS SUBJECT PROPERTY, UM, NOTIFIED BY THE STAR IN THE IMAGE IS DESIGNATED AS MIXED USE CENTER IN THE COMPREHENSIVE LAND USE PLAN.

SO THAT'S INTENDED FOR HIGHER DENSITY RESIDENTIAL HOUSING, LOCALLY SERVING, COMMERCIAL RECREATIONAL USES THAT TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THESE MAJOR TRANSPORTATION CORRIDORS.

SO THE PROPOSED GENERAL BUSINESS DISTRICT DOES MEET THAT INTENT OF THE MIXED USE FUTURE LAND USE DESIGNATION.

THE PROPOSED GENERAL BUSINESS DISTRICT DOES PERMIT FOR LAND USES THAT WERE REQUESTED DURING THE COMPREHENSIVE LAND USE PLAN ENGAGEMENT PROCESS.

DURING THAT PROCESS, WE DID HEAR THAT A LOT OF PEOPLE WERE REQUESTING COMMERCIAL AND RETAIL, UM, SOUTH OF, IN THE SOUTHERN AREA OF SHIRTS.

SO THINK SOUTH OF FM 70 A.

WE DO HAVE A LOT OF RESIDES RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT AND WE DON'T HAVE MUCH COMMERCIAL DEVELOPMENT OVER THERE.

THUS THIS PROPOSED GENERAL BUSINESS DISTRICT DOES PROMOTE THE GENERAL WELFARE OF THE COMMUNITY BECAUSE PEOPLE WERE REQUESTING THESE TYPE OF USES.

UM, AS PART OF THE ZONE CHANGE APPLICATION, A TIA SUMMARY WAS SUBMITTED AND, AND OUR ENGINEERING DEPARTMENT DID REVIEW IT.

SO THERE IS GONNA BE AN INCREASE ON OF TRAFFIC ON FM 1518 AND RAY CORBIT DRIVE.

UM, THAT DOES NOT PROMOTE SAFETY, BUT THEY CAN BE MITIGATED THROUGH IMPROVEMENTS.

[00:40:01]

UM, AND OUR ENGINEERING DEPARTMENT DID PROVIDE SOME IMPROVEMENTS THAT CAN BE CONSTRUCTED TO MITIGATE THE TRAFFIC AS LISTED HERE, WHICH INCLUDE THINGS LIKE WIDENING RAY CORBETT FOR FULL LEFT TURN LANE SIGNALIZATION IF IT'S WARRANTED, INCREASING THE LENGTH OF THE SOUTHBOUND LEFT TURN LANE.

BUT I DO WANNA NOTE THAT THESE FINAL REQUIRED IMPROVEMENTS ARE NOT KNOWN AT THIS TIME.

THESE ARE JUST PRELIMINARY REPORTS DONE NOW.

THESE ARE JUST IMPROVEMENTS THAT CAN BE DONE.

THAT COMES LATER ON IN THE SITE PLAN PROCESS WHEN WE ACTUALLY LOOK AT WHAT THE BUILDING'S GONNA LOOK LIKE, WHAT THEIR ACCESS POINTS ARE GONNA LOOK AT.

AND THEN BECAUSE THIS PROPERTY IS ON 1518, UH, TEXTILE WILL ALSO BE REVIEWING EVERYTHING THAT THEY SUBMIT AS WELL.

SO THE GENERAL BUSINESS DISTRICT IS INTENDED FOR RETAIL AND SERVICE ESTABLISHMENTS THAT MEET THE OVERALL NEEDS OF THE COMMUNITY.

AGAIN, THESE USES PERMITTED WITHIN THE ZONING DISTRICT ARE THINGS LIKE ANTIQUE SHOPS, RETAILS, CONVENIENCE STORES, BARBERSHOPS.

AGAIN, THIS IS NOT AN EXTENSIVE LIST THAT'S AVAILABLE IN OUR PERMITTED USE TABLE.

AND THIS IS CONSISTENT IN APPROPRIATE WITH EXISTING USES IN THE AREA.

YOU CAN SEE ALONG 1518, WE HAVE SOME GENERAL BUSINESS DISTRICT ON THE OTHER SIDE, WHICH LEADS ALL THE WAY UP NORTH TO THE EXISTING DOLLAR GENERAL AND STAFF HAS ENSURE ALL UDC REQUIREMENTS HAVE BEEN MET FOR THIS PROPOSED ZONE CHANGE.

WE DID SEND THE ZONE CHANGE TO EMS FIRE AND PD AND THEY WERE NOTIFIED AND THEY DID NOT PROVIDE OBJECTIONS.

AND THEN AT THE MAY 6TH PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION MEETING, UH, RESIDENTS DID HAVE CONCERNS WITH THE PROXIMITY TO THE SCHOOL AND CHILDREN INHALING FUMES.

BUT THAT WAS IN RELATION TO THE ASSOCIATED SPECIFIC USE PERMIT.

UM, THAT'S BEING PROPOSED TONIGHT WITH ORDINANCE 26 S 11.

SO NOT SPECIFICALLY FOR THE ZONE CHANGE.

AND ALTHOUGH THERE ARE CONCERNS WITH THE TRAFFIC IMPACT OF THE REQUESTED ZONE CHANGE, THE PROPOSED GENERAL BUSINESS DISTRICT IS CONSISTENT WITH INTENT OF THE COMPREHENSIVE LAND USE PLAN, FUTURE LAND USE MAP, AND THE USE IS PERMITTED WITHIN THIS, UM, GENERAL BUSINESS DISTRICT DOES SERVE THE OVERALL NEEDS OF THE COMMUNITY.

SO STAFF IS RECOMMENDING APPROVAL OF ORDINANCE 26 S TIME AND THEN THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION DID HOLD A PUBLIC HEARING FOR THIS MEETING ON MAY 6TH.

AND THEY MADE A RECOMMENDATION OF APPROVAL OF CITY COUNCIL WITH A FIVE TWO VOTE.

AND THEN COMMISSIONER VELASQUEZ AND COMMISSIONER HUGHES CAST THE NA VOTES WITHOUT DISCUSSION.

AND THEN THE APPLICANT IS HERE, BUT THEY'RE SAVING THE PRESENTATION FOR AFTER THE SPECIFIC USE PERMIT APPLICATION.

UH, AT THIS TIME I WILL GO AHEAD AND OPEN IT UP TO A PUBLIC HEARING AT 6 42.

UH, ANY RESIDENTS, UH, WANTING TO COME UP TO SPEAK, IF YOU'LL PLEASE STATE YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS.

EACH RESIDENT WILL HAVE THREE MINUTES TO SPEAK.

UH, DO WE HAVE ANYBODY WANTING TO COME UP AND SPEAK ON ORDINANCE 26 DASH S DASH 0 1 0 ON WHAT? GOING TWICE.

WE'LL GO AHEAD AND CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING AT 6 43 WITH NOBODY, UH, SPEAKING, UH, ON THE ORDINANCE.

SO DO WE HAVE ANY MEMBERS WISHING TO HAVE A DISCUSSION ON THIS ITEM? IF NOT, CAN I ENTERTAIN A MOTION? I'LL MAKE MOTION FOR APPROVAL.

SECOND.

I HAVE A MOTION MADE BY COUNCIL MEMBER PAUL MACALUSO, SECONDED BY, UH, COUNCIL MEMBER ROBERT WESTBROOK.

UH, CAN I GET EVERYBODY TO CAST YOUR VOTES? CAN I GET THE VOTES PUBLISHED PLEASE? ALL RIGHT.

HAVING SIX YAYS, ONE NAY.

ORDINANCE, UH, WE HAVE ORDINANCE 26 DASH S DASH 0 1 1.

ALRIGHT, THE NEXT

[10. Ordinance 26-S-011 - Conduct a public hearing and consider a request for a Specific Use Permit to allow a convenience store with gas pumps on approximately 2.1 acres of land, generally located at the southeast corner of the intersection of FM 1518 and Ray Corbett Dr, also known as a portion of Bexar County Property Identification Number 1103267, City of Schertz, Texas.(B.James/L.Wood/D.Marquez)]

CONDUCT A PUBLIC HEARING, CONSIDER A REQUEST FOR SPECIFIC USE PERMIT TO ALLOW CONVENIENCE STORE WITH GAS PUMPS ON APPROXIMATELY 2.1 ACRES OF LAND, GENERALLY LOCATED AT THE SOUTHEAST CORNER OF THE INTERSECTION OF FM 1518 AND RAY CORBETT DRIVE, ALSO KNOWN AS A PORTION OF BEAR COUNTY PROPERTY IDENTIFICATION NUMBER 1 1 0 3 3 2 6 7 1 1 0 3 2 6 7 CITY OF CHURCH, TEXAS.

UH, AND WE HAVE PRESENTER DAISY MARQUEZ.

GOOD EVENING ONCE AGAIN.

ORDINANCE 26 S 0 1 1.

A PROPOSED SPECIFIC USE PERMIT TO ALLOW CONVENIENCE STORE WITH GAS PUMPS ON 2.1 ACRES.

DAISY MARQUEZ SENIOR PLANNER.

HERE'S THE SUBJECT PROPERTY OUTLINED IN YELLOW.

IT IS THE SAME PROPERTY THAT WE DISCUSSED IN THE PREVIOUS ORDINANCE.

AGAIN, IT WAS JUST CHANGE TO GENERAL BUSINESS DISTRICT AND IT WAS ACCOMPANIED BY THE PREVIOUS ZONE CHANGE AGAIN HERE, THE DIMENSIONAL REQUIREMENTS FOR PRE AND GB AND

[00:45:01]

WE SENT OUT SIX NOTICES FOR THE SPECIFIC USE PERMIT.

WE DID NOT RECEIVE ANY PUBLIC HEARING RESPONSES.

WE DID POST A NOTICE IN THE PAPER ON MAY 13TH.

IT DID GO TO THE MAY 6TH PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION AND TWO NOTIFICATION SIGNS WERE PLACED ON THE PROPERTY.

SO WE ARE HERE FOR THE SPECIFIC USE PERMIT TONIGHT BECAUSE AS PER UDC SECTION 2158, A CONVENIENCE STORE WITH GAS PUMPS IS REQUIRED TO HAVE AN APPROVED SPECIFIC USE PERMIT IN GENERAL BUSINESS DISTRICT.

SO THAT'S WHY WE'RE HERE TONIGHT.

A CONVENIENCE STORE ITSELF IS PERMITTED BY WRIGHT AND GENERAL BUSINESS DISTRICT.

IT'S THE GAS PUMPS ITSELF THAT REQUIRE THE SPECIFIC USE PERMIT.

SO FOR SPECIFIC USE PERMITS, WE LOOK TOWARDS THE CRITERIA IN UDC SECTION 21 5 11 D.

AGAIN, THIS SUBJECT PROPERTY AND THE SUBJECT AREAS DESIGNATED AS MIXED USE CENTER IN A COMPREHENSIVE LAND USE PLAN, THE PROPOSED SUP IS LOCATED ALONG FM 1518, WHICH IS A PRINCIPAL ARTERIAL.

IT DOES NOT VIOLATE THE INTENT OF THE MIXED USE FUTURE LAND USE DESIGNATION AS IS LOCATED ON FM 1518.

UM, AGAIN, THE CURRENT ZONING OR THE PRE-DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT ZONING WAS JUST A PLACEHOLDER FOR ANNEXATION.

GENERAL BUSINESS DISTRICT IS INTENDED FOR RETAIL AND SERVICE USES.

THE PROPOSED SEP MEETS THE INTENT OF THAT GENERAL BUSINESS DISTRICT ZONING INTENT.

SO CURRENTLY WITHIN THE CITY OF SHORTZ, WE DO NOT HAVE ANY ORDINANCES THAT ARE ADOPTED TO RESTRICT THE DISTANCE OF A CONVENIENCE STORE WITH GAS PUMPS FROM A SCHOOL OR ANY ORDINANCES THAT REQUIRE CERTAIN DISTANCE OF SEPARATION FROM ALCOHOL SALES IN SCHOOLS.

A CONVENIENCE STORE IS PERMITTED BY WRIGHT AND GB.

AND AGAIN, THIS SPECIFIC USE PERMIT IS JUST FOR THE GAS PUMPS ASSOCIATED WITH THE CONVENIENCE STORE.

THE PROPOSED GENERAL BUSINESS DISTRICT ZONING THAT WAS JUST APPROVED IS COMPATIBLE WITH EXISTING ZONING AND USES IN THE AREA.

AND, UM, THE 2.1 ACRES ARE PART OF A LARGER 30 ACRE TRACKS.

WE DON'T HAVE ANY APPLICATIONS IN FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE TRACK.

UM, THE INTERSECTION OF F 1518 ARRAY CORBIT 1518 IS THE PRINCIPAL ARTERIAL'S A TDO ROAD.

SO ANYTHING HAPPENING ON THE ROAD IS GONNA BE ALSO REVIEWED BY TDO RAY.

CORBETT DRIVE IS A RESIDENTIAL COLLECTOR AND THE ACCESS POINTS WILL BE EV EVALUATED LATER ON IN THE DEVELOPMENT PROCESS AGAIN, SO DURING SITE PLANS.

SO WE DON'T KNOW WHAT THOSE WILL LOOK LIKE NOW.

THOSE ARE NOT LOCKED IN AND IT IS IN PROXIMITY TO THE JUNIOR HIGH, BUT IT'S NOT IMMEDIATELY ADJACENT TO IT.

AND AGAIN, WHEN ENGINEERING REVIEWED THEIR TIM MEMO, THAT WAS THE SAME FOR THE ZONE CHANGE.

UM, THERE IS GONNA BE AN INCREASE ON, ON TRAFFIC IN THAT INTERSECTION OF RAY CORBETT AND FM 1518, BUT MITIGATION CAN HAPPEN THROUGH IMPROVEMENTS.

AGAIN, THESE REQUIRED MITIGATION ARE NOT KNOWN AT THIS TIME AND THEY'RE GONNA HAPPEN, WE WON'T KNOW UNTIL LATER ON IN THE PROCESS.

AND ALTHOUGH THIS PROPOSED SEP LOCATION IS NOT IDEAL AND THE TRAFFIC WILL BE ADVERSELY AFFECTED ON RAY CORM, IT'S NOT ADJACENT TO RESIDENTIAL USES OR ZONING AND TRY TO TRAFFIC MITIGATION EFFORTS WILL BE REQUIRED IN THE PROCESS.

SO THE PROPOSED SUP DOES MEET THE UDC REQUIREMENTS.

WE DID SEND THIS SUP TO SHIRTS, EMS, FIRE AND PD TO BE UH, REVIEWED.

REVIEWED AND AS A PRECAUTION, UH, PD EVALUATED THE NUMBER OF CALLS FOR SERVICE FOR A CONVENIENCE STORE WITH GAS PUMPS IN PROXIMITY TO SCHOOLS, AND DID NOT FIND A CORRELATION BETWEEN THE TWO.

AND THEN AT THE MAY 6TH, 2026, UM, PUBLIC IN HEAR, PUBLIC HEARING FOR THIS SUP RESIDENTS DID COME WITH CONCERNS, UM, IN RELATION TO THE LOCATION AND PROXIMITY TO SCHOOLS AND RESIDENCES, PEDESTRIAN TRAVEL, TRAFFIC SAFETY CONCERNS WITH THE DELIVERY TRUCKS FOR THE GAS AND MERCHANDISE.

AND THEN TIA CONCERNS, UM, STAFF DID CONDUCT SOME ADDITIONAL, UM, REVIEW ON BEST PRACTICES OUT THERE.

THE ONLY THINGS THAT REALLY CAME OUT WERE, UM, EPA GUIDELINES FOR REDUCING NEAR ROAD POLLUTION EXPOSURE AT SCHOOLS.

THIS IS MORE FOR THINGS IN PROXIMITY TO SCHOOLS LIKE HEAVY POLLUTANTS.

IT WAS, IT OFFERED NO SPECIFIC GUIDANCE IN PROXIMITY TO CONVENIENCE STORES AND GAS PUMPS IN SCHOOLS.

AND CURRENTLY WITHIN THE CITY OF STREETS, WE DO HAVE SCHOOLS THAT ARE IN PROXIMITY TO CONVENIENCE STORES WITH GAS PUMPS.

ONE EXAMPLE IS CLEMENS, UM, AT THE CORNER OF SURES PARKWAY, A PRINCIPAL ARTERIAL AND ELBOW ROAD, A COMMERCIAL COLLECTOR, AND THEN KAMAL CREEK ELEMENTARY SCHOOL IN DANVILLE MIDDLE SCHOOL.

UM, THE CLOSEST CONVENIENCE STORE WITH GAS PUMPS IS AT THAT HARD CORNER OF THE TWO PRINCIPAL ARTERIALS, TAKING ADVANTAGE OF THAT MAJOR TRANSPORTATION NETWORK.

AND THEN IN PROXIMITY TO THE SCHOOL OF SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY, UM, WE HAVE ANOTHER CONVENIENCE STORE WITH GAS PUMPS AT THAT HARD CORNER OF TWO PRINCIPAL ARTERIALS, AGAIN, TAKING ADVANTAGE OF THAT MAJOR TRANSPORTATION NETWORK.

AND THE CONVENIENCE STORES WITH GAS PUMPS AT THESE LOCATIONS ARE TAKING ADVANTAGE OF THOSE INTERSECTIONS OF THESE MAJOR TRANSPORTATION

[00:50:01]

CORRIDORS.

SO THAT WAS JUST ONE OF THE MAJOR DIFFERENCES THAT WE SAW WHEN EVALUATING IT.

SO STAFF IS STRUGGLING WITH THIS BECAUSE IDEALLY SCHOOLS ARE LOCATED WITHIN RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENTS TO CREATE A COMPLETE NEIGHBORHOOD FEEL.

JUST AN EXAMPLE HERE WITHIN THE CITY OF SHORTS, THINK OF SHIRTS, ELEMENTARY SCHOOL, LAUREL INGLES, WALLER INTERMEDIATE SCHOOL.

UM, SO FOR EXAMPLE HERE, THIS SCHOOL IS LOCATED DIRECTLY IN THE MIDDLE OF THREE RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENTS.

IT'S SURROUNDED BY CAROLINA CROSSING, SAVANNAH SQUARE AND ASHLEY PLACE.

KIDS CAN WALK TO SCHOOL, KIDS CAN, YOU KNOW, COMMUTE TO SCHOOL IN A SAFE MATTER.

WHEN YOU LOOK AT THIS SCHOOL AND YOU THINK OF A CONVENIENCE STORE WITH GAS PUMPS ADJACENT TO IT, YOU WOULD NOT THINK OF IT AS SOMETHING APPROPRIATE WITHIN THIS DEVELOPMENT.

BUT THE SEP LOCATION WHERE IT'S BEING PROPOSED IS ACTUALLY AT THE CORNER OF FM 1518 AND RAY CORBETT, WHICH IS A PRINCIPAL ARTERIAL RESIDENTIAL CO COLLECTOR.

SO ALTHOUGH IT'S NOT REALLY PREFERRED BY STAFF BECAUSE OF ITS ACCESS ALONG RAY CORBITT DRIVE, WHICH IS A RESIDENTIAL COLLECTOR AND MAYBE FM 15 AND LOWER SE ROAD, WHICH ARE A PRINCIPLE AND SECONDARY ARTERIAL WOULD BE MORE PREFERRED THERE, THERE REALLY IS NOTHING AGAINST OR A REASON WHY, UM, THE TRAFFIC CAN'T BE MITIGATED AS ENGINEERING HAD STATED.

AND THEN PREVIOUS SEP APPLICATIONS FOR A CONVENIENCE STORE WITH GAS PUMPS WERE IMMEDIATELY ADJACENT TO RESIDENTIAL.

AND THAT'S HOW WE RECEIVED MAJOR OPPOSITION FROM THE SURROUNDING PROPERTY OWNERS.

AND EVEN WITH THOSE PREVIOUS APPLICATIONS, THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION EXPRESSED CONCERNS OVER THAT PROXIMITY TO THE RESIDENTIAL USES IN ZONING.

AND AGAIN, WHAT'S PROPOSED TONIGHT IS NOT IMMEDIATELY ADJACENT TO RESIDENTIAL USES OR ZONING.

SO THE PROPOSED SEP TO ALLOW COMMUNION STORE WITH GAS PUMPS DOES NOT VIOLATE THE INTENT OF THE COMPREHENSIVE LAND USE PLAN IS COMPATIBLE WITH EXISTING USES IN EXISTING AND PROPOSED ZONING AND IS NOT IMMEDIATELY ADJACENT TO RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENTS OR ZONING.

UH, SO STAFF IS RECOMMENDING APPROVAL OF ORDINANCE 26 S 11, BUT THE CONDITION OF BUILDING PERMIT IS APPROVED WITHIN TWO YEARS OF ADOPTION OF THE SUP IN ACCORDANCE WITH UDC, ARTICLE FIVE, SECTION 21 5 11 F AND THEN THE PLANNING ZONING COMMISSION DID HOLD A PUBLIC HEARING FOR THIS ITEM ON MAY 6TH, AND THEY MADE A RECOMMENDATION OF DENIAL TO CITY COUNCIL WITH THE FIVE TO VOTE.

COMMISSIONER OUTLAW, COMMISSIONER MCMASTER CASTED THE NA VOTES AND THEN THE APPLICANT IS HERE AND DOES HAVE A PRESENTATION FOR THIS PORTION.

OKAY, GOOD EVENING, CITY COUNCIL MEMBERS AND MAYOR.

UH, THANK YOU SO MUCH DAISY, AND THANKS FOR GETTING US HERE.

IT'S BEEN A LOT OF APPLICATIONS AND I APPRECIATE IT.

UH, MY NAME'S, UH, NSH MAGNESIA.

I AM A FAMILY OWNED, UH, I GUESS SECOND GEN AND OUR, AND OUR BUSINESS.

AND WE'RE A SMALL FAMILY OWNED BUSINESS AND THAT'S OUR BRAND FOODIES CORNER.

UH, SO I'D LIKE TO PRESENT A LITTLE BIT, TALK ABOUT A LITTLE BIT WHAT WE CURRENTLY DO AND WHAT WE'RE PLANNING TO BRING TO SHIRTS.

SO, UH, OUR STORY, I GUESS STARTED WITH MY DAD.

UH, AND HE BASICALLY HAS WORKED THROUGH AND AS FROM OUR LEASE STORES AND WORKING 25 YEARS AT THAT STORE ACTUALLY.

AND THAT'S HOW WE GOT STARTED.

AND SLOWLY AS HE HAS BUILT UP AND HERE WE'RE NOW, SO THAT'S THE FIRST LOCATION THAT'S KIND OF, IT'S LOCATED IN CEDAR PARK AND IT USED TO BE A VERY SMALL CITY, UH, ALMOST 20 YEARS AGO.

SO, UH, WE'VE GROWN OUT SINCE THEN.

AND, UH, JUST WANTED TO SHARE WHERE WE KIND OF STARTED.

UM, HERE'S ARE SOME OF THE OTHER LOCATIONS WE CURRENTLY HAVE.

UH, THE TOP LEFT ONE IS ACTUALLY THE REMODEL STORE THAT I SHOWED YOU.

AND THEN THE OTHER ONE IS IN LEANDER.

WE HAVE, UH, ONE IN UT AND COUPLE IN, UH, OTHER, UH, LOCATIONS IN AUSTIN AND LEANDER AND SURROUNDING MSA AREA.

SO I'LL SHARE A LITTLE BIT WHERE WE'RE LOCATED.

UH, SO HERE WE'RE GEOGRAPHICALLY WHERE WE ARE AND, UH, THE WAY WE LOOK AT OUR BRAND IS WE KIND OF TREAT OURSELVES, I GUESS WE LIKE TO BE, I GUESS WITHIN NEIGHBORHOODS.

WE'RE NOT CATERING TO HIGHWAY OR MAJOR CORRIDOR OR TRAVEL CENTERS MOSTLY, IF NOT ALL THE LOCATIONS THAT WE HAVE ARE SURROUNDED BY RESIDENTIALS OR SCHOOLS AND STUFF.

AND WE'RE MAINLY COMING IN AS A SMALL GROCERY STORE WITH OBVIOUSLY WE DO HAVE A FUEL COMPONENT.

AND UH, SOME OF THE LOCATIONS THAT ARE THE FIRST SIX LOCATIONS ARE EXISTING LOCATIONS IN JONESTOWN, LEANDER, CEDAR PARK, AUSTIN, EAST AUSTIN, SOUTH AUSTIN.

AND THE TWO THAT ARE HIGHLIGHTED IN GRAY ARE ACTUALLY SLATED TO OPEN THIS YEAR.

UH, ONE'S IN LIBERTY HILL AND THE OTHER ONE IS IN SAN MARCO.

AND WE'RE HOPING, UH, THOSE TWO HIGHLIGHTED IN GRAY ARE GONNA BE OUR NEWEST, UH, I GUESS OUR FLAGSHIP STORES.

THAT'S SOMETHING THAT WOULD, WE ARE TRYING TO PROPOSE IN CITY OF SHIRTS.

AND I'LL KIND OF DESCRIBE WHAT'S BEING PROPOSED AS WELL LATER ON.

SO HERE'S ARE SOME OF THE COMMUNITIES THAT WE CURRENTLY SERVE.

UH, TRAVIESO IS ALMOST A 3000 HOME COMMUNITY, BRYSON'S ALMOST 1500, UH, COMMUNITY.

AND WE'RE LOCATED, IF NOT LIKE, AT THE CORRIDOR KIND OF INTERSECTION HOW WE ARE, UH, TALKING ABOUT IN CITY OF SHIRTS, BURGER CREEK PARK.

IT'S BASICALLY

[00:55:01]

A NEIGHBORHOOD IN CEDAR PARK WHERE NESTLED LITERALLY INSIDE AND EAST.

CAESAR CHAVEZ IS A LITTLE BIT URBAN EAST AUSTIN AREA.

AND, UH, SO I WOULD LIKE TO POINT OUT THAT, UH, OBVIOUSLY THERE'S A LOT OF CONVENIENCE STORES, CORPORATE OWNED, SINGLE FAMILY OWNED.

AND WHAT SETS US APART IS, I THINK WHAT WE'RE TRYING TO BRING IS A VERY MODERN, UH, CONVENIENCE STORE.

AND OBVIOUSLY WE DO LIKE TO TAKE INTO ACCOUNT THE TRAFFIC FLOW AND SAFE AND IT WILL BE CLEAN, WELL LIT AND WE LIKE TO PRIORITIZE THE NEIGHBORHOOD WE'RE SERVING.

SO WE'RE GONNA HAVE A LOT OF PRODUCTS TO SERVE THE, THE NEIGHBORS AROUND US.

AND IN MOST CASES, UH, THE QUALITY OR THE STANDARD, THE ARCHITECTURAL ELEMENTS WE BRING, IT USUALLY SURPASSES LOCAL ZONING OR SAFETY ELEMENTS.

UH, MAYBE IN CITY OF SHEZ ALREADY HAS A ROBUST ZONING, BUT SOMETIMES WE'RE LOCATED IN COUNTY AND STUFF, SO WE STILL HOLD THAT STANDARD WITHIN US.

UH, SO WANTED TO TALK ABOUT A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THIS SITE AS WE WERE LOOKING AT IT.

SO WHEN WE DID LOOK AT IT, WE, IT WAS BROUGHT UP THAT IN PREVIOUS YEARS THERE MIGHT HAVE BEEN OTHER C STORES THAT I MIGHT CAME IN AND HAVE GOT DENIAL.

AND WE KIND OF LOOKED AT IT, OKAY, WHAT WAS THE REASON AND IS IT WHAT WORKED FOR US TO COME IN AND KIND OF PROPOSE OUR MODEL? SO WE GOT ACCUMULATED WITH, UH, CITY OF SHIRTS WHEN WE HAD OUR MEETING, UH, A BRIEF MEETING WITH THE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT, UH, BOARD, AND THEY HAD SHARED ABOUT THE INTEREST AND KIND OF SHARED SOME OF THE AREAS THAT THEY WERE LOOKING AT WHEN, WHEN WE CAME ACROSS THIS.

AND WE REALLY LIKED CITY OF SHIRTS AND THAT CORRIDOR WHERE WE WERE KIND OF LOOKING AT IT.

SO, AND ON THIS SPECIFIC SITE, WE'RE ABOUT 500 FEET FROM THE NEAREST SINGLE FAMILY HOME, 750 FEET FROM THE CLOSEST MASTER PLAN NEIGHBORHOOD AT THE MOMENT.

AND IT'S ABOUT A THOUSAND FEET FROM THE NEAREST SCHOOL STRUCTURE.

AND, UH, JUST, UH, TO SAY A LITTLE BIT, OBVIOUSLY IT'LL BE, UH, HA WE'LL MEET TIA RECOMMENDATION AS NEEDED.

THAT WAS ONE OF THE MORE IMPORTANT POINTS THAT HAS BEEN BROUGHT UP MULTIPLE TIMES NOW.

UH, AND I CAN TALK A LITTLE BIT FURTHER AS WELL AS NEEDED.

UM, SO AS FAR AS SOME OF THE SAFETY, THIS MAY GO A LITTLE BIT IN DEPTH.

I DON'T THINK WE'VE BEEN ASKED ABOUT THAT TOO MUCH, BUT WE DO HAVE, WE'LL MEET TCQ ORDINANCE OR STATE, THESE ARE MORE ROBUST THAN CITY OR LOCAL COUNTY ORDINANCE THAT WE HAVE WHEN IT COMES TO FUEL AND SOME, SOME OF THE FEATURES THAT WE USE ON OUR SIDE ARE JUST DOUBLE WALL STEEL TANK FOR LEAK PROTECTIONS, UH, FLEX PIPE, WHICH ARE THE NEWEST TECHNOLOGIES FOR FUELING AND STUFF.

UH, AND OBVIOUSLY MODERN TANK MONITORING FOR LEAK DETECTION AND, UH, STUFF LIKE THAT, WHICH IS GIVING YOU DAILY REPORTS, UH, LIVE.

UM, SO OUR COMMITMENT IS TO MAINTAIN A CLEAN AND SAFE, WELL MANAGED SITE.

AND OBVIOUSLY WE'LL INVEST IN THE UPKEEP, STAFFING AND PROPERTY STANDARDS, LONG-TERM LOCAL PRESENCE.

WE'RE NOT COMING IN TO BASICALLY COME IN AND BUILD IT AND YOU'LL NOT SEE US IN THE NEXT FIVE YEARS.

WE WANT TO COME IN AND WE'RE, WE WANT TO BE HERE FOR THE NEXT 20, 25 YEARS.

UM, AND WE'RE BASICALLY FOCUSED ON STABLE, POSITIVE, POSITIVE ADDITION TO THE NEIGHBORHOOD, UM, MOVING FORWARD.

SO THIS IS JUST A ARCHITECTURAL RENDERING OF HOW OUR STORE ITSELF WILL LOOK.

UH, BUT HERE IS A LITTLE, UH, UH, PHOTO FROM OUR LIBERTY HILL SIDE CURRENTLY IT'S GONNA OPEN IN JULY.

SO THIS IS SOMETHING IS WHAT, SORRY, IS SOMETHING WHAT WE WANT TO PROPOSE IN CITY OF SHIRTS, UH, AT THAT INTERSECTION.

AND HERE ARE, I JUST WANTED TO GIVE A PERSPECTIVE OF OUR GAS CANOPY, THE PUMPS WE'RE USING, THE BEST TECHNOLOGY, THE MOST EFFICIENT AND AS POSSIBLE AND, UH, UH, LITTLE INTERIOR SHOT OF OUR SITE AND HOW IT'S, IT'S GONNA TURN OUT TO BE, UH, THIS WAS NOT SHARED DURING THE PLANNING AND ZONING, BUT WE THOUGHT IT WOULD BE BE IMPORTANT TO BRING AND WORK ON IT TO SHARE DURING THE CITY COUNCIL MEETING TO KIND OF ADDRESS, UH, SOME OF THE ISSUES ON SAFE ON ACCESS AND HOW WE'RE PLANNING ON LAYING OUT THAT TWO ACRES.

SO IT IS TWO ACRES.

UH, IN THE TOP LEFT CORNER IS WHERE YOU COULD SEE IT'S GONNA BE OUR STORE AND UH, THE FUEL CAN BE KIND OF IN FRONT OF THAT.

AND RIGHT NEXT TO IT IS GONNA BE A SMALL RETAIL CENTER.

I BELIEVE IT'S ABOUT 6,000 OR 7,000 SQUARE FEET.

AND, AND AS YOU CAN SEE, WE'RE PLANNING TO HAVE A TURN LANE.

THIS WILL NEED TO BE WORKED OUT WITH TXDOT, BUT OUR INTENT IS TO HAVE A TURN LANE SO IT'S EASY ACCESS FROM 1518 AND OBVIOUSLY HAVE ACCESS ON THE RAY CORE BED DRIVE.

UH, SO THAT'S AN OVERALL PERSPECTIVE OF HOW WE'RE PLANNING ON LAYING OUT THIS SITE.

AND I CAN MOVE, AND I THINK DAISY POINTED OUT, BUT SOME OF THE CONCERNS THAT I NOTED DURING OUR PLANNING AND ZONING, UH, MEETING WERE TRAFFIC TIA AND ISSUES WITH GAS STATION BEING CLOSE TO, I GUESS RESIDENTS AND SCHOOL DELIVERY SCHEDULES.

AND I WOULD HAPPY TO DISCUSS ANY OF THESE THAT WERE BROUGHT ON.

WE HAD SOME DISCUSSION DURING OUR PLANNING AND ZONING, BUT I WOULD LIKE, IF THERE'S ANYTHING, UH, RELATING TO THIS, I WOULD HAPPY TO GO BACK INTO THAT.

UM, SORRY.

SO, UH, SO TRAFFIC'S BEEN BROUGHT UP MULTIPLE TIMES AND I WANTED TO KIND OF POINT OUT DURING THE CITY COUNCIL MEETING THAT 1518 IS BEING

[01:00:01]

EXPANDED AND OBVIOUSLY WHEN WE DO OUR FEASIBILITY, WE KIND OF LOOKED AT IT AND IT'S SUPPOSED TO BE A CORRIDOR, IT'S GONNA HAVE A LOT OF TRAFFIC AT THE MOMENT, IT SEEMS THERE'S NOT MUCH COMMERCIAL ON 1518, BUT THAT ROAD IS BEING DEVELOPED FOR THE FUTURE AND US ADDING A CONVENIENCE STORE IS NOT, IT'S NOT, IT'S BASICALLY A DROP IN THE WATER WHEN YOU'RE GONNA CONSIDER THE FULL BUILD OUT AND EVERYTHING'S GONNA GROW, GROW ALONG THIS CORRIDOR.

SO I WANTED TO POINT THAT OUT.

AND I ALSO WANTED TO POINT OUT THAT EVENTUALLY AT THE MOMENT, IF YOU COME DOWN FROM 71 AND GO DOWN TO I 10, IT'S VERY EASY, NOT TOO MANY SIGNALS, BUT EVENTUALLY THERE WILL BE U-TURNS AND COUPLE SIGNAL LIGHTS AND YOU'RE GONNA BE MULTIPLE POINT OF CONFLICTS.

I BRING THAT UP BECAUSE, UH, ONE OF THE, UH, I GUESS ONE OF THE NEIGHBORS BROUGHT UP A GOOD POINT WHERE THEY HAD KIND OF, AND I'LL, I'LL GO INTO THAT ABOUT THE PROXIMITY TO OTHER GAS STATIONS AS WELL.

UM, SO I WANTED TO ALSO POINT OUT THAT THE CORNER WE'RE LOOKING AT IS, UH, IT'S WHERE WE'RE LOOKING AT THAT PINK CORNER FOR THE FUTURE LAND USE OF CITY OF SHIRTS.

IT IS PLANNED FOR A FUTURE LIKE COMMERCIAL, UH, SPACE.

AND IT'S ABOUT 98 ACRES OF WHAT WE'RE, WE'RE JUST LOOKING AT THAT INTERSECTION.

WE'RE PLANNING TO DEVELOP ABOUT TWO ACRES.

OUR HOPE IS AS WE COME IN, I THINK WE HAVE A GENERAL GRASS.

USUALLY WE'VE SEEN IT IN PAST IS OTHER DEVELOPMENTS WILL FOLLOW RETAIL OR WHATEVER THAT MAY BE, OR, UH, SO WE DO THINK THAT WE'RE LOCATED IN THE RIGHT SPOT.

IT WAS BROUGHT UP LIKE, YEAH, LOWER SINGEN WOULD BE A GOOD SPOT, BUT THAT LAND'S JUST NOT AVAILABLE.

WE'VE LOOKED AT MULTIPLE LANDS.

SO WE BASICALLY CAME IN WHERE IT FITS THE BEST, WHERE UTILITIES ARE AVAILABLE AND WHERE WE CAN MAKE OUR SITE WORK.

UM, SO THE PROXIMITY TO OTHER CONVENIENCE STORE AND IS A C STORE NEEDED AT THIS LOCATION.

I WOULD LIKE TO POINT OUT, UH, IT DOESN'T MATTER HOW OUR SITUATION GOES HERE, BUT 1518 IS ABOUT A 5.5 MILE STRETCH.

AND AS WE'RE DOING OUR FEASIBILITY, WE'RE SEEING THAT THERE'S NO CONVENIENCE STORE AT THE MOMENT ON THAT ENTIRE CORRIDOR.

THE CLOSEST ONE, I GUESS THERE'S THREE CLOSE INTERSECTIONS THAT ARE NEAREST.

ONE IS THE VALERO ON 2.4 MILES.

ONE IS THE BIG COUNTRY, VALERO, 3.3 MILES, AND OBVIOUSLY THE QUICK TRIP AND CIRCLE LOCATED DOWN SOUTH.

AND IT'S, TO US, IT SEEMS LIKE WE'RE STRATEGICALLY LOCATED AND WHEN 1518 IS BUILT OUT AND GIVEN HOW MANY SIGNALS OR U-TURNS THAT MAY COME AT THE MOMENT, IT MAY BE TAKING FIVE TO SEVEN MINUTES TO GET TO EITHER LOCATIONS, BUT IN THE FUTURE IT MAY TAKE A LOT LONGER.

AND WE THINK OUR POSITION IS JUSTIFIABLE TO SEE WHERE WE FIT TO CATER THAT NEIGHBORHOOD AROUND US.

UH, SO JUST SOME FINAL THOUGHTS I WOULD JUST LIKE TO SAY IS TO LOOK AT THE GROWTH ALONG 1518.

UH, WE WOULD BE EXCITED TO JOIN THE CITY OF SHIRTS AND BRING OUR, UH, THE THIRD OF OUR STORES IN THIS NEIGHBORHOOD.

AND IT TOOK US A WHILE TO GET HERE AND WE'VE OBVIOUSLY BEEN LOOKING AT THIS, WORKING ON IT SINCE DECEMBER.

AND HERE WE ARE AND OBVIOUSLY HAVE SPENT A LOT OF EFFORT AND DOLLARS TO ON FEASIBILITY TIS STUDIES AND OBVIOUSLY EVERYTHING.

AND THEN LASTLY IS, UH, WITH OUR DEVELOPMENT OR THE SUBSEQUENT DEVELOPMENT, IT'LL DEFINITELY BRING A LOT OF TAX AND COMMERCIAL GROWTH.

SO HERE TO HAVE ANY QUESTIONS YOU MAY HAVE, I'LL BE HAPPY TO ANSWER THEM.

OR IT'S A THOUSAND FEET FROM THE CLOSEST STORE TO THE, UH, SCHOOL STRUCTURE.

THANK YOU FOR THAT.

SO AT THIS TIME WE'LL GO AHEAD AND OPEN IT UP TO A PUBLIC HEARING AT 7 0 3.

ANYBODY WISHING TO COME UP TO DISCUSS ON THIS ITEM? PLEASE STATE YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS AND YOU'LL BE GIVEN THREE MINUTES TO SPEAK.

GOING ONCE, GOING TWICE.

ALL RIGHT.

WE'LL GO AHEAD AND CLOSE THE HEARING OF RESIDENCE AT 7 0 4 THIS TIME.

I'LL OPEN IT UP TO COUNSEL FOR DISCUSSION.

ANY DISCUSSION? ALL RIGHT.

CAN I ENTERTAIN A MOTION? OH, WAIT, YOU GOT A DISCUSSION? COUNCIL MEMBER WESTBROOK? YES.

SO, UH, BACK IN 2025, AND SO I KNOW YOU SAID YOU DO DID YOUR DUE DILIGENCE, BUT SOMETHING PIQUED MY INTEREST 'CAUSE IT WAS IN YOUR SLIDE.

IT WAS WITHIN A THOUSAND YARDS OF A SCHOOL.

SO LET ME, LEMME PULL THIS UP RIGHT QUICK.

I DON'T KNOW WHEN YOU SAID APPROXIMATELY A THOUSAND YARDS.

A THOUSAND, I DON'T KNOW MY PASSWORD.

YEAH, SORRY.

A THOUSAND FEET.

SO IT WAS LIKE, UM, IT WAS SENATE BILL 1316 SAYS THIS LAW PROHIBITS TOBACCO AND E-CIGARETTES ADVERTISING WITHIN A THOUSAND YARDS OF SCHOOLS AND CHURCHES.

THIS MEANS NO BILLBOARDS, POSTERS, OR OTHER ADS FOR THESE PRODUCTS CAN APPEAR NEAR THOSE PLACES.

THE LAW WILL TAKE EFFECT ON SEPTEMBER 1ST, 2025.

SO WILL YOUR CONVENIENCE STORE BE ADVERTISING ANY TOBACCO E E-CIGARETTES WITHIN A THOUSAND YARDS OF COVID HIGH SCHOOL? YEAH.

WELL, FOR CLARIFICATION THOUGH, I THINK HE STATED A THOUSAND FEET AND YOU'RE STATING A THOUSAND YARDS.

IS IT WITHIN A THOUSAND YARDS OF THE SCHOOL? SO, UH, IT'S A THOUSAND FEET, SORRY,

[01:05:01]

YEP.

BUT WHAT YOU ARE REFERRING TO, THERE'S BEEN A LOT OF STUFF GOING ON IN THE CONVENIENCE STORE AND EVERYTHING, BUT, UH, A LOT OF THE BIGGER SENATE BILLS THAT HAVE STILL GOING BACK AND FORTH WITH HOUSES, IT'S ACTUALLY RELATED TO THE THC AND THEIR USE OF CBD, NOT SO MORE SO ON THE TOBACCO.

AND I CAN DEFINITELY LOOK INTO THAT, BUT WE'RE NOT PLANNING ON PUTTING A BILLBOARD OR ADVERTISING.

I THINK WHATEVER STUFF WE CARRY, IT'S GONNA BE INTERNAL, BUT YEAH, OBVIOUSLY IF IT DOES PASS LOCALLY OR JUST WITH PERMITS, WE'RE NOT GONNA BE SELLING THAT.

IF THAT GETS BANNED, THERE'S NO, WE'RE NOT, WE CAN'T SELL IT.

SO IT'S NOT LIKE WE'RE GONNA GO AGAINST THAT AND SELL THAT.

YEAH, IT'S, IT'S, WELL SENATE BILL TH IT'S ALREADY PASSED IN SEPTEMBER OF 2025.

YEAH, SO I DEFINITELY LOOK INTO THAT.

BUT I HAVE A FEELING IT MIGHT BE RELATING TO THC 'CAUSE THAT WAS A HUGE BATTLE GOING BACK AND FORTH OR THE USE OF CBD AND THE E-CIGS AND NICOTINE AND THE USE OF THAT.

BUT I DON'T THINK THERE'S ANY RESTRICTIONS ON LIKE, LET'S SAY A TOBACCO OR CIGARETTES.

ALRIGHT, I WAS JUST TRYING TO MAKE YOU POINT.

NO, NO, I'M ONLY SAYING THAT BECAUSE I KNOW THERE'S, EVEN DAISY SAID THAT THERE'S, SHE SHOWED PROBABLY FIVE SCHOOLS RIGHT NOW AND I CAN ASSURE THAT I DON'T THINK TOBACCO ITSELF, BUT I DO KNOW THERE'S BEEN SOME BIGGER BANS ON CBD NICOTINE AND ALL THAT.

I AGREE.

I'M JUST READING AN ARTICLE.

OH YEAH, NO, I AGREE.

AND IT SAYS THE NOT PROHIBITS TOBACCO WOULD YEAH, I WOULD'VE TO LOOK INTO THAT.

BUT IF IT IS, THEN OBVIOUSLY WE'RE NOT, WE'RE NOT GONNA DO THAT.

SO IF IT FALLS UNDER THAT AND THEN YOU'LL BE COMPLIANT WITH THOSE STATE LAWS PERCENT.

UH, COUNCIL MEMBER GUERRERO, I GOT A QUESTION FOR YOU SIR.

SO, SO YOU WILL BE SELLING, UH, AS LONG AS EVERYTHING IS WITHIN REASON AND LEGAL, YOU WILL BE SELLING, YOU SAY TOBACCO, TOBACCO PRODUCTS.

WE, WE SELL TOBACCO AND STUFF, BUT IT'S NOT, IT'S BASICALLY IF IT IS FDA APPROVED, THERE'S A LOT OF GRAY SPACE AND WE'RE NOT OPENING A VAPE SHOP, SO WE'RE NOT GONNA HAVE ALL THESE OTHER STUFF.

IT'S BASICALLY, IF IT IS FDA APPROVED AND IT'S ALLOWED FROM MAJOR COMPANIES, FROM MARLBORO AND STUFF, WHICH ARE, WHICH WE BUY DIRECTLY FROM, THAT'S SOMETHING WE WOULD SELL.

AND THAT'S NOT TO SAY IT'S JUST US, IF ANY RETAILER, WHOEVER COMES THAT MAY SELL THAT.

SO AS LONG AS IT'S APPROVED, YOU'RE, YOU'RE GONNA SELL WHAT'S APPROVED, BEER, WHATEVER CORRECT LIQUOR.

YEAH, YEAH, YEAH.

I MEAN IT, IT'S TO, I SEE WHERE YOU'RE GOING WITH THE, THE QUESTION, BUT TO PUT IT, IT MAKES UP A MAJORITY OF OUR BUSINESS THAN SAYING THAT WE CAN'T DO THAT.

THERE'S NO WAY FINANCIALLY WE CAN SUSTAIN A FINANCIALLY, LIKE DEVELOP SOMETHING OF ALMOST MILLIONS OF DOLLARS AND NOT, NOT HELP THAT, YOU KNOW.

ALRIGHT.

UH, COUNCIL MEMBER SHERIDAN.

YES.

UM, YOU KNOW, JUST WANNA MAKE SOME DEFINITE COMMENTS HERE.

YOU KNOW, THAT SOUTH 78 AREA IS REALLY GROWING AND YOU KNOW, AND CURRENTLY, AND I LIKE THAT PICTURE THAT YOU PO YOU POSTED ABOUT THE EXISTING, UH, PROXIMITY OF OTHER GAS STATIONS.

AND THE PROBLEM THAT I SAW WITH THAT, THAT NONE OF THEM BELONG TO SHIRTS, YOU KNOW, OR, YOU KNOW, WE DON'T HAVE ANYTHING OUT THERE, YOU KNOW, THAT'S, YOU KNOW, INVESTING IN OUR, YOU KNOW, INVESTING IN SHIRTS, ET CETERA.

SO WITH THAT, I, I DO HAVE CONCERNS WITH THE TRAFFIC, YOU KNOW, AND AGAIN, IT SOUNDS LIKE WE'RE WORKING WITH TXDOT, WHICH I THINK THAT'S A GOOD, YOU KNOW, UM, GOOD AVENUE TO TAKE BECAUSE, YOU KNOW, YOU KNOW, WITH THE SCHOOL TRAFFIC AND YOU KNOW, THE GAS AFRICA AND ALL THE, THE GROWTH THAT'S GOING ON IN THAT AREA, I CAN SEE THAT BECOMING A, A REAL HEADACHE AND YEAH, THEY'RE EXPANDING 15, 18, BUT, YOU KNOW, AGAIN, I WANNA MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE, YOU KNOW, PAYING, YOU KNOW, UH, CLOSE ATTENTION TO THAT IF WE DECIDE TO, TO PASS THIS RESOLUTION.

BUT, UH, OTHER THAN THAT, UM, I HAVE NOT, I, I DON'T HAVE ANY QUESTIONS AND SO FORTH.

I JUST WANNA MAKE A STATEMENT.

SO COMMENT.

YEAH, JUST A CLARIFICATION.

WE HAVE NOT REACHED OUT TO T DOT YET, BUT YEAH, FOR ANY PERMIT ALONG 1518, WE HAVE TO.

SO YEAH, WE WILL.

YEAH, NO, GOOD.

OF, OF A LONGER PROCESS TILL YOU ACTUALLY GET SOMETHING BUILT.

COUNCIL MEMBER ALISO, I HAVE A QUESTION FOR, UH, KATHY, I KNOW YOU GUYS PROVIDED, YOU KNOW, MITIGATION EFFORTS FOR TRAFFIC.

CAN YOU KIND OF EXPAND ON THAT A LITTLE BIT? WHEN, WHEN THAT WOULD HAPPEN? OKAY, JOHN, I'M SORRY.

YEAH, I'M GONNA DEFER THIS TO JOHN BECAUSE I THINK, YOU KNOW, ANYBODY WITH GAS PUMPS, YOU'RE GONNA HAVE, THEIR HIGH LEVEL OF TRAFFIC'S GONNA BE RIGHT IN THE MORNING WHEN PEOPLE ARE GOING THERE FOR SCHOOL, AFTER SCHOOL, THINGS ALONG THOSE LINES.

SO RAY CORPORATE DRIVE, AS IT IS, IS, IS VERY TROUBLESOME FOR ANYBODY THAT'S TAKING THEIR KIDS TO SCHOOL THERE.

AND, UH, THAT I THINK THAT'S A, A KEY CONCERN FOR, FOR, I KNOW FOR MYSELF.

OKAY, UM, A LITTLE BIT LATER IN THE DEVELOPMENT PROCESS, THIS IS KIND OF THE VERY FIRST STEP

[01:10:01]

BUT AS THE, AS YOU GO THROUGH THE PLATING PROCESS, THE APPLICANT WILL BE REQUIRED TO DO A DETAILED TRAFFIC IMPACT ANALYSIS.

AND THAT'S MORE DETAILED AND MORE RIGOROUS THAN THE TRAFFIC SUMMARY THAT WE DO FOR A, A ZONE CHANGE REQUEST OR A SPECIAL USE, UM, PERMIT, UH, APPLICATION.

THAT'S THE ZONING.

UM, THE TRAFFIC SUMMARY IS MORE OF A HIGH LEVEL AND YOU LOOK AT A WORST CASE SCENARIO.

THE TIA, THE FORMAL TIAA TRAFFIC IMPACT ANALYSIS LOOKS AT EXACTLY WHERE THE APPROACH LOCATIONS ARE GONNA BE, UM, EXACTLY WHAT THE DEVELOPER IS GOING TO BUILD.

'CAUSE DIFFERENT USES HAVE DIFFERENT TRAFFIC VOLUMES.

AND TO BE PERFECTLY BLUNT, A CONVENIENCE STORE WITH A GAS STATION, WHILE IT IS A RELATIVELY HIGH TRAFFIC GENERATOR, IT IS NOT THE HIGHEST TRAFFIC GENERATOR THAT COULD GO THERE UNDER GENERAL BUSINESS ZONING.

SO WE EVALUATE IT FROM THE STANDPOINT WHAT THEY'RE ACTUALLY GONNA DO, AND WE LOOK AT, HERE ARE THE IMPACTS THAT THIS COULD HAVE BY SENDING THIS ADDITIONAL TRAFFIC OUT TO, UM, RAY CORBET FOR EXAMPLE, AND MAKING AND HAVING TRAFFIC GO THROUGH THAT INTERSECTION.

SO WHAT IMPACT DOES THAT HAVE AND WHAT DO YOU DO TO MITIGATE THE EFFECTS OF THAT? IT DEPENDS ON THE VOLUMES ON, ON ALL THE ROADS AND WE WILL BE COORDINATING WITH TEXT OUT.

TEXT OUT WILL ALSO HAVE TO REVIEW AND BE A PART OF THIS TRAFFIC IMPACT ANALYSIS AND REVIEW AND APPROVE IT BEFORE WE WILL APPROVE IT.

AND WHAT THAT TIA IDENTIFIES SPECIFICALLY IN TERMS OF WHAT THEY HAVE TO DO TO MITIGATE THE EFFECTS OF THAT TRAFFIC, THE DEVELOPER WILL BE REQUIRED TO CONSTRUCT THAT ALONG WITH THEIR, THEIR BILLING AND THEIR SITE AND JUST WHAT THOSE ARE GONNA BE.

RIGHT NOW WE DON'T KNOW BECAUSE WE'RE NOT AT THAT STEP JUST YET.

IF WE HAVE NO OTHER DISCUSSIONS, CAN I ENTERTAIN A MOTION I'D MOTION THAT WE APPROVE ORDINANCE 26 S 0 1 1.

THERE A SECOND.

I'LL SECOND.

IS DESIGNATED AS MAIN STREET MIXED USE DISTRICT MAIN STREET IN THE FUTURE LAND USE DESIGNATION.

HAVING A MOTION MADE BY COUNCIL MEMBER WATSON.

SECONDED BY COUNCIL MEMBER PAUL MACALUSO.

CAN I GET EVERYBODY TO CAST THE VOTES PLEASE? CAN I GET THE VOTES PUBLISHED? ALRIGHT, HAVING UH, TWO YAYS FIVE NAYS MOTION DOES NOT PASS.

SO ORDINANCE, UH, 26 DASH S DASH ZERO 11 WILL NOT PASS.

ALRIGHT, MOVING

[11. Ordinance 26-S-012- Conduct a public hearing and consider a request to rezone approximately 0.2 acres of land from General Business District (GB) to Main Street Mixed Use District (MSMU), known as 502 Main Street, specifically known as Guadalupe Property Identification Number 67753, City of Schertz, Texas.(B.James/L.Wood/D.Marquez) ]

ON TO ITEM 11.

ORDINANCE 26 DASH S DASH 0 1 2.

CONDUCT A PUBLIC HEARING, CONSIDER A REQUEST TO RE ON APPROXIMATELY 0.2 ACRES OF LAND FROM GENERAL BUSINESS DISTRICT TO MAIN STREET MIX USE DISTRICT, ALSO KNOWN AS MSMU, KNOWN AS 5 0 2 MAIN STREET, SPECIFICALLY KNOWN AS GUADALUPE.

PROPERTY IDENTIFICATION NUMBER 6 7 7 5 3 CITY OF CHURCHS, TEXAS AND WE HAVE DAISY MARQUEZ.

GOOD EVENING ONCE AGAIN.

ORDINANCE 26 S 12, A PROPOSED 0.2 ACRE ZONE CHANGE TO MAIN STREET MIXED USE DISTRICT.

DAISY MARQUEZ SENIOR PLANNER.

HERE'S THE SUBJECT PROPERTY OUTLINED IN YELLOW.

IT IS LOCATED ALONG MAIN STREET, UM, KIND OF AT THAT INTERSECTION OF BERGEN MAIN STREET.

IT IS CURRENTLY ZONED GENERAL BUSINESS DISTRICT AND IT IS USED AS A RESTAURANT.

THEY ARE NOT PROPOSING A CHANGE IN USE WITH THIS.

THEY'RE JUST GOING THROUGH THE PROCESS.

THAT'S WHY THEY'RE SEEKING THE MSMU ZONE CHANGE AT THIS TIME.

BUT TO THE NORTH WE HAVE MAIN STREET TO THE SOUTH, WE HAVE THE UNION PACIFIC RAILROAD AND THEN TO THE EAST WE HAVE THE RANDOLPH REALTY OFFICES.

AND THEN TO THE WEST WEST WE HAVE GENERAL BUSINESS DISTRICT.

SO HERE ARE THE DIMENSIONAL REQUIREMENTS AND SOME OF THE PERMITTED USE DIFFERENCES BETWEEN GENERAL BUSINESS DISTRICT AND MAIN STREET MIXED USE.

ONE OF THE BIGGEST DIFFERENCES IS THAT OUR MAIN STREET MIXED USE ZONING DISTRICT DOES ALLOW FOR MORE FLEXIBILITY FOR A LOT OF THESE OLDER LOTS LOCATED ALONG MAIN STREET IN OUR MAIN STREET CORRIDOR.

SO WE DID SEND OUT 17 PUBLIC HEARING NOTICES ON APRIL 23RD.

WE DID, WE DID RECEIVE ONE IN FAVOR AND A PUBLIC HEARING NOTICE WAS PUBLISHED IN THE SAN ANTONIO EXPRESS ON MAY 13TH.

A NOTIFICATION SIGN WAS PLACED BY THE APPLICANT AND IT WAS HEARD AT THE MAY 6TH PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION MEETING.

AND AGAIN, IT'S CURRENTLY ZONE GENERAL BUSINESS DISTRICT AND THE APPLICANT IS PROPOSING MAIN STREET MIXED USE DISTRICT.

SO FOR ZONE CHANGES WE LOOK TOWARDS THE CRITERIA IN UDC SECTION 2154 D.

THIS AREA

[01:15:01]

AS YOU CAN SEE BY ALL THE PURPLE IN THE IMAGE, IT'S INTENDED FOR SINGLE FAMILY, MULTIFAMILY, RESIDENTIAL, LOW INTENSITY COMMERCIAL AND CULTURAL AND ENTERTAINMENT USES.

THE PROPOSED MAIN STREET MI MIXED USE DISTRICT IS CONSISTENT WITH THE MAIN STREET FUTURE LAND USE DESIGNATION.

UM, ENGINEERING DID PROVIDE A MEMO THAT THERE'S NO EXPECTED INCREASE OR DECREASE IN TRAFFIC, SO THERE WOULD BE NO ADVERSE IMPACT TO THE CITY'S TRANSPORTATION SYSTEM.

THUS THE PROPOSED ZONE CHANGE TO MSMU PROMOTES THE HEALTH, SAFETY AND WELFARE OF THE CITY.

THE PROPOSED MSMU OR MSMU IS INTENDED FOR PROPERTIES ON MAIN STREET AND THE MAIN STREET CORRIDOR.

THIS PROPERTY IS QUITE LITERALLY LOCATED ON MAIN STREET IS WITHIN THAT MAIN STREET CORRIDOR THAT IS, UM, ELIGIBLE FOR ALL OF THOSE MAIN STREET GRANTS.

SO THE PROPOSED MSMU IS CONSISTENT AND APPROPRIATE.

THE CITY OF SHES FIRE EMS AND PD DID NOT HAVE ANY OBJECTIONS TO THE PROPOSED ZONE CHANGE.

A PUBLIC HEARING NOTICE WAS SENT TO S-C-U-C-I-S-D AND THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION HELD A PUBLIC HEARING FOR THIS ITEM ON MAY 6TH.

STAFF RECOMMENDS APPROVAL OF ORDINANCE 26 S 12 DUE TO THE LOCATION OF THE PROPERTY ON MAIN STREET, COMPATIBILITY WITH EXISTING USES AND THE COMP PLAN, FUTURE LAND USE MAP AND THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION HELD THE PUBLIC HEARING FOR THIS ITEM ON MAY 6TH AND MADE A RECOMMENDATION OF APPROVAL TO CITY COUNCIL WITH THE UNANIMOUS VOTE.

AND THEN THE APPLICANT'S HERE, BUT IF YOU HAVE ANY SPECIFIC QUESTIONS FOR THEM OKAY AT THIS TIME I WILL GO AHEAD AND OPEN IT UP, UH, TO A PUBLIC HEARING AT SEVEN 17.

UH, RESIDENCE.

UH, MUST STATE THEIR NAME AND ADDRESS AND EACH RE ANY RESIDENT WISHING TO COME UP TO SPEAK, WE'LL HAVE THREE MINUTES TO SPEAK.

SO DO HAVE ANYBODY WANTING TO COME UP AND SPEAK ON BEHALF OF ORDINANCE 26 DASH S DASH ZERO TWO GOING ONCE, GOING TWICE.

WE'LL GO AHEAD AND CLOSE HEARING OF RESIDENCE AT SEVEN 17.

UH, DO I HAVE I'LL THIS TIME I'LL OPEN IT UP FOR DISCUSSION.

DAISY.

I'M SORRY.

WHAT'S THE UH, MAIN PURPOSE OF THE ZONE REQUEST CHANGE? UM, THEY'RE TRYING TO PLOT THE PROPERTY AND THE M MSM U'S ZONING DISTRICT ALLOWS FOR A REDUCED, UM, LOT WITHIN DEPTH THAT WORKS WITH THE SMALLER LOTS IN THE HISTORICAL AREA OF SHIRTS.

WILL IT HELP OR HURT THE ABILITY TO HAVE A BETTER PARKING LOT SITUATION THERE? IT WILL HELP THEIR SITUATION.

HAVING NO OTHER DISCUSSIONS.

CAN I ENTERTAIN A MOTION? I'LL MAKE A MOTION.

SECOND.

ALRIGHT, UH, SO I HAVE A MOTION MADE BY COUNCIL MEMBER PAUL MACALUSO AND I'M GONNA GO AHEAD AND ACCEPT, UH, UH, SECOND, UH, BY MAYOR PRO TEM MARK DAVIS.

CAN I GET EVERYBODY TO CAST THE VOTES? CAN I GET THE VOTES PUBLISHED PLEASE? HAVING SEVEN YAYS, NO NAYS.

ORDINANCE 26 DASH S DASH ZERO THREE.

MOVING ON TO ITEM 12.

[12. Ordinance 26-S-013 - Conduct a public hearing and consider a request to rezone approximately 0.4 acres of land from General Business District (GB) to Main Street Mixed Use District (MSMU), known as 506 Main St. and 508 Main St., specifically known as Guadalupe County Property Identification Numbers 32859 and 32861, City of Schertz, Guadalupe County, Texas.(B.James/L.Wood/D.Marquez)]

CONDUCT A PUBLIC HEARING AND CONSIDER A REQUEST TO REZONE APPROXIMATELY 0.4 ACRES OF LAND FROM GENERAL BUSINESS DISTRICT TO MAIN STREET MIXED USE DISTRICT, KNOWN AS 5 0 6 MAIN STREET AND 5 0 8 MAIN STREET, SPECIFICALLY KNOWN AS GUADALUPE COUNTY PROPERTY IDENTIFICATION NUMBERS 32 8 5 9 AND 32 8 6 1 CITY OF CHURCH, GUADALUPE COUNTY, TEXAS.

AND WE HAVE DAISY MARQUEZ.

GOOD EVENING ONCE AGAIN.

ORDINANCE 26 S 13, A PROPOSED 0.4 ACRES ZONE CHANGE TO MSMU, DZ MARQUEZ SENIOR PLANNER.

SO THIS IS A SUBJECT PROPERTY IMMEDIATELY TO THE RIGHT OF MELANIE'S.

THE ZONE CHANGE THAT WE JUST HEARD, UM, THEY'RE WORKING TOGETHER ON THIS.

SO IT'S CURRENTLY ZONE GENERAL BUSINESS DISTRICT.

THEY'RE PROPOSING MAIN STREET MIX USE DISTRICT.

AGAIN, MINTUE MIXED USE ALLOWS FOR THIS PROPERTY TO HAVE MORE FLEXIBILITY IN THE FUTURE IF THEY WANNA GROW, IF THEY WANNA LEASE OUT TENANT SPECIES.

THEY'RE NOT PROPOSING ANY CHANGES IN THE USE RIGHT NOW.

UM, THEY PLAN TO STAY THE RANDOLPH REALTY OFFICES FOR NOW AND FOR THE FUTURE.

FOR NOW.

AGAIN, HERE'S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE DIMENSIONAL REQUIREMENTS AND PERMITTED USES FOR GENERAL BUSINESS DISTRICT AND MSMU.

WE DID SEND OUT 17 PUBLIC HEARING NOTICES ON APRIL 23RD.

WE DID RECEIVE ONE, UH, RESPONSE IN FAVOR.

UH, PUBLIC HEARING NOTICE WAS PUBLISHED IN THE PAPER ON MAY 13TH.

TWO SIGNS WERE PLACED BY THE APPLICANT ON THE PROPERTY AND IT DID GO TO THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION ON MAY 6TH.

AGAIN, HERE'S WHAT'S BEING PROPOSED.

UM, IT'S CURRENTLY ZONED GENERAL BUSINESS DISTRICT AND IT'S BEING PROPOSED AS MSMU.

[01:20:01]

AND AGAIN, THAT CRITERIA FOR APPROVAL FOR ZONE CHANGES IN 25 21 54 D.

THIS PROPERTY IS, UM, WITHIN THAT SAME AREA OF THE MAIN STREET FUTURE LAND USE DESIGNATION.

IT'S LOCATED ON MAIN STREET WITHIN THAT MAIN STREET CORRIDOR.

SO THE PROPOSED MSMU IS CONSISTENT WITH THE COMP PLAN AND IS CONSISTENT AND APPROPRIATE WITH THE SURROUNDING USES.

UM, ENGINEERING DID ALSO PROVIDE A MEMO THAT THERE'S NO PROPOSED CHANGE IN USE.

THE PROPERTY'S ALREADY DEVELOPED.

IT WILL HAVE NO IMPACT ON THE CITY'S TRANSPORTATION SYSTEM.

AND AGAIN, THIS PROPERTY'S ALREADY ON MAIN STREET.

IT'S ALREADY IN THE MAIN STREET CORRIDOR ALONG MAIN STREET.

WE ALREADY HAVE OFFICES, PERSONAL SERVICES, RESTAURANTS, ET CETERA.

WHAT MSMU ALLOWS AND IT'S PERMITTED USE TABLE CONSISTENT AND APPROPRIATE WITH WHAT'S ALREADY ALONG MAIN STREET.

UH, CITY OF SHES FIRE EMS AND PD DID NOT HAVE OBJECTIONS TO THE PROPOSED ZONE CHANGE.

WE DID SEND OUT A PUBLIC HEARING NOTICE TO S-C-U-C-I-S-D AND OUR PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION HELD A PUBLIC HEARING FOR THIS ITEM ON MAY 6TH.

UH, STAFF RECOMMENDS APPROVAL OF ORDINANCE 26 S 13 DUE TO THE LOCATION OF THE PROPERTY ON MAIN STREET.

ITS COMPATIBILITY WITH THE COMPREHENSIVE LAND USE PLAN AND THE EXISTING USES IN THE MEDIA AREA.

AND AGAIN, THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION HELD THE PUBLIC HEARING FOR THIS ITEM ON MAY 6TH AND MADE A RECOMMENDATION OF APPROVAL TO CITY COUNCIL WITH A UNANIMOUS VOTE.

THANK YOU DAISY.

I JUST HAVE UH, ONE QUESTION.

UH, ANNETTE'S, UM, JUST TO MAKE SURE AND CONFIRM THAT IT'S NOT GONNA AFFECT ANY OF THE ANY WAY, LIKE THE WAY THEY'RE CONDUCTING BUSINESS TODAY.

IT'S NOT GONNA AFFECT WHAT THEY'RE CURRENTLY DOING AND IT'S TO KIND OF BRING EVERYTHING INTO ALIGNMENT TO, TO FLOW WITH THE WAY THINGS ARE TODAY.

CORRECT SIR.

DO WE HAVE ANY OTHER DISCUSSIONS? HAVING NO OTHER DISCUSSIONS? CAN I ENTERTAIN A VOTE OR A MOTION? PUBLIC HEARING? MAKE A MOTION THAT WE APPROVE ORDINANCE 26 S 0 1 3 PUBLIC HEARING, SIR? PUBLIC HEARING.

OH, PUBLIC HEARING.

OH, I TAKE THAT BACK.

[ Information available in City Council Packets - NO DISCUSSION TO OCCUR]

MOVING ON TO REQUEST

[ Requests and Announcements Requests by Mayor and Councilmembers for updates or information from Staff Requests by Mayor and Councilmembers that items or presentations be placed on a future City Council agenda City and Community Events attended and to be attended (Council)]

AND ANNOUNCEMENTS.

REQUEST BY MAYOR OR COUNCIL MEMBERS FOR UPDATES OR INFORMATION FROM STAFF.

IS THERE ANY, UH, UPDATES THAT THE STAFF'S WANTING? YES, MAYOR, I WOULD LIKE, I WOULD LIKE TO, UH, BRING BACK, UH, THE, UH, WE'RE TALKING ABOUT THE SCHOOL THAT WE'RE GONNA BUILD THE SIDEWALK ON BOTH SIDES, HOWEVER, WE HAVE, UH, YES TO TWO SCHOOLS.

UM, THE ELEMENTARY STUDENTS STILL HAVE TO WALK ACROSS THE BRIDGE.

I WANNA BRING BACK TO WHERE THE SCHOOL BOARD, THEY NEED TO, THEY NEED TO BUST THOSE KIDS INSTEAD OF THEM WALKING ACROSS THE, THE BRIDGE ON I 35.

GO AHEAD, COUNCILMAN.

NO, I'M, I'M GONNA WAIT TILL YOU OKAY.

YEAH, I JUST WANNA BRING THAT BACK.

I WANT TO TALK ABOUT THAT.

THEY NEED TO BUST THEM.

AND THEN, UH, WE WILL GET, UH, COUNCIL MEMBER SHERIDAN.

YES.

UH, CAN WE GET AN UPDATE ON THE, UH, TRASH SURVEY THAT WAS CONDUCTED IN EARLY MAY? YES.

THE PRESENTATION WILL BE AT THE NEXT COUNCIL MEETING.

PERFECT, THANK YOU.

AND THEN NOW COUNCIL MEMBER, UH, WESTBROOK? NO, NO, WHENEVER IT COMES UP.

WE'LL, WE'LL DISCUSS IT ABOUT THE, UH, SCHOOL DISTRICT IN BUSING THAT'S HISTORICALLY, UM, HAVING BEEN ON THE SCHOOL BOARD BEFORE WE'VE STAYED IN OUR LANE, UM, US ADVOCATING OR TELLING THE SCHOOL BOARD OR THE SCHOOL DISTRICT WHAT THEY SHOULD OR SHOULD NOT DO.

UM, TO ME THAT SEEMS A LITTLE BIT OUTTA BOUNDS, BUT IF WE WANNA DISCUSS IT IN ANY WORKSHOP OR ANY SESSION, THAT'S FINE.

I'LL BE WILLING TO SHARE WHAT I KNOW.

BUT, UM, I DON'T EXPECT FOR THEM TO COME TO OUR LANE AND TELL US HOW TO RUN OUR, UH, HOW TO RUN THE CITY OF SHIRTS.

AND I CERTAINLY DON'T WANT TO WAIT INTO THE WATERS AND TELL THEM WHAT THEY SHOULD OR SHOULD NOT BE DOING WITH THE RESOURCES THAT THEY HAVE.

BUT I'LL LEAVE IT AT THAT.

NO, AND I, AND I AGREE WITH YOU.

NOT, NOT NECESSARILY TELL THEM, BUT DISCUSS IT BECAUSE IT WOULD BE A LOT BETTER FOR THE STUDENTS IF THEY WERE BUSED THAN WALKING ACROSS THE FREEWAY.

SO, YEAH, I THINK, UH, AS IT PERTAINS TO THE SIDEWALKS THAT HAVE TO DO WITH THE ELEMENTARY SCHOOL AND THE MIDDLE SCHOOL, A LOT OF IT ALSO HAD TO DO WITH, UM, UH, THEY WERE MEETING THEIR PARENTS AT THE COMMUNITY STORE, UH, AND FOR THEM TO BE ABLE TO GET PICKED UP THERE.

SO I THINK SOME OF THAT WAS SOME OF THOSE CONCERNS AS WELL.

UH, ANY REQUESTS BY MAYOR OR COUNCIL MEMBERS THAT ITEMS OR PRESENTATION BE PLACED ON ANY FUTURE CITY COUNCIL AGENDAS? I'D LIKE TO SEE IF WE CAN HAVE, UH, IMPACT FEES BROUGHT BACK UP SO WE CAN COMPARE US TO, UH, OUR COMMUNITIES THAT ARE, WE'RE AT COMPETITION WITH.
