This
is
a
proposed
site
plan
on
November
10th
of
2022.
The
building
department
issued
a
building
permit
for
the
construction
of
a
new
residential
structure.
As
per
the
set
of
plans
submitted,
there
was
only
one
residential
structure
shown
and
approved.
It
would
be
the
one
that's
located
on
that's
highlighted.
This
is
a
building
permit
that
was
issued.
D
The
proposed
replay
got
denied
and
on
the
November
3rd
of
2022,
the
Planning
and
Zoning
commission
denied
the
repat
of
lot
3
block
355
Western
Division,
located
at
1714
Santa
Enrique
Avenue,
close-up
version.
This
is
a
proposed
re-plat.
The
law
dimensions
for
the
proposed
to
replant
do
not
meet
the
minimum
dimensional
standards.
As
for
the
current
R3
zone
or
any
other
District,
any
other
zoning
District.
D
The
board
of
board
authority
to
Grant
variances
the
Laredo
land
development
code
allows
the
board
to
adjust
a
board
of
adjustments
to
distance
of
and
area
requirements
in
particular
or
unusual
circumstances,
which
would
prevent
the
reasonable
use
of
land
development
code.
Section
24.1.3.22,
B,
Grant
ovariance
in
ethical
cases
that
that
the
strict
enforcement
of
this
audience
shall
deny
the
property
owner
the
use
of
this
of
his
property
for
any
reasonable
use.
Laredo
land
development
code,
section
24.1.33e,.
D
Staff
recommendations,
staff
does
not
support
the
proposed
variants
for
the
following
reasons:
the
property
may
be
used
by
all
users
allowed
under
the
R3
zoning
District.
The
property
is
currently
platted.
The
law
area
is
approximately
8
680
square
feet
and
shows
no
topographical
features
such
as
extreme
slopes
or
unconventional
shape.
That
would
be
considered
in
as
peculiar
or
unusual,
which
would
prevent
the
reasonable
use
of
land.
If
the
variants
were
not
granted.
The
proposed
reconstruction
of
two
single-family
dwellings
is
allowed
on
the
R3
District
without
having
to
replant
the
property.
E
Sherwood
and
I'm
the
executive
director
for
Habitat
for
Humanity
I
would
like
to
give
you
a
little
history
of
why
we're
here
and
then
I'll
address
some
of
the
comments.
One
of
habitat
has
been
in
the
business
of
building
homes,
primarily
new
homes
and
remodeling,
some
for
28
years
in
Laredo,
we've
helped
thousands
of
families
repair
their
home,
and
especially
after
a
winter,
storm
Yuri
hit
our
community
so
hard
habitat
was
the
only
entity
to
do
any
repairs
that
I
am
aware
of
including
the
city
and
the
county
and
other
non-profits.
E
E
E
We
received
a
call
out
of
San
Antonio
from
my
social
service
worker
who
had
returned
to
Laredo
after
about
30-year
absence,
and
she
wanted
to
visit
her
childhood
friend
that
she
had
gone
to
school
with
who
was
born
with
spinal
bifida.
So
she
went
to
his
neighborhood
where
he
used
to
live
in
hopes
of
finding
him.
Well,
she
did
she
left
very
distraught
and
the
next
day
she
called
habitat
in
Laredo.
E
She
found
that
there
was
a
huge
hole
in
the
roof
and
that
they
were
living
in
some
pretty
bad
conditions.
I
sent
an
assessment
team
to
check
this
out
when
they
got
there.
We
had
a
roofing
contractor
a
plumber
and
one
of
our
staff
members
who
is
trained
in
doing
assessments
after
disasters
and
I
was
something
told
me
to
go
and
I
left
my
office
and
I
was
about
a
block
away,
and
my
staff
member
called
me
and
said,
and
she
was
in
tears
and
she
said
Ms
Sherwood,
please
come
there's
nothing.
E
We
can
do
with
this
house.
In
fact,
I
think
it's
going
to
fall
down.
She
was
right.
I
found
the
74
year
old
lady,
who
was
disabled
in
the
front
room
of
the
house.
It
was
the
only
room
that
had
any
kind
of
protection
from
the
roof,
and
it
was
only
because
it
had
a
ceiling
that
was
made
of
wood,
the
exterior
of
the
home,
the
tin
roof
had
peeled
back.
E
There
were
multiple
holes
throughout
the
the
house.
The
house
had
a
gas
line
that
was
running
on
top
of
the
kitchen
floor.
It
had
a
hole
in
it
and
the
bedroom
wall
was
falling
in,
they
had
no
place
to
go.
Her
son
is
49
lives
with
her
wonderful
young
man,
and
he
walks
with
crutches.
He
has
a
Mobility
problems
as
well.
E
They
had
at
many
times
contacted
every
entity
that
put
out
notices
to
help
you
repair
homes
and
they
were
told
by
our
city
in
Community
Development
that
they
weren't
the
only
homeowners
on
landowners,
but
they
went
to
try
to
get
help
through
Section,
8
or
another
housing
entity,
and
they
were
said
they
were
told.
Oh,
no,
your
name's
on
the
tax
rolls
as
a
landowner.
E
They
had
no
way
of
getting
help.
There
were
multiple
Airship
issues
and
we
couldn't
turn
our
back.
This
is
one
of
those
cases
that
you
go
in
and
sometimes
some
things
you
just
have
to
do,
because
it's
the
right
thing
and
that's
where
we
are.
There
were
three
houses
sitting
on
this
very
large
lot:
three
one
at
the
rear
that
the
brother-in-law
had
built
many
years
past
and
he
owed
taxes
from
2001.,
fifteen
thousand
dollars
worth
of
taxes.
E
E
Could
we
help
her
District
and
they
raised
about
fifty
thousand
dollars
while
we
were
getting
more
in,
she
came
with
me
and
I
made
a
phone
call
at
that
time
to
see
if
it
was
possible
to
split
the
lot,
if
somehow
another
we
could
get
the
lot
and
remove
the
lady
long
enough
to
rebuild
the
house
communication
was
that
we
could
so
we
continued
with
the
journey.
We
demolished
the
houses,
we
got
the
Airship,
it
took
us
almost
five
months
to
get
the
airship
issues
settled
and
a
lot
of
money.
E
We
are
building
a
house
for
her
on
the
right
side
of
the
I,
guess
that
would
be
the
north
side
of
the
property.
We
have
plenty
of
space
to
build
a
secondary
house,
another
house
on
that
lot.
If
we
can
replant
it,
the
issue
is
not
that
we
can't
build
two
houses
on
the
property.
The
issue
is,
we
can't
convey
one
of
the
houses.
E
E
There
are
multiple
homes
in
the
area
that
could
be
restored
that
are
on
similar
situations
and
so
we're
coming
today
to
ask
for
the
variance,
because
we
know
we
can
produce
a
viable
residence
for
not
one
family
but
for
two
families.
The
other
issue
that
we
have
is
this
one
family,
this
small
little
family
cannot
handle
an
eight
thousand
six
hundred
and
forty
square
foot
line.
E
E
Two
lines
directly
west
of
where
we're
building
that
are
the
same
identical
size
as
what
the
one
we
want
to
do.
What
we're
asking
you
to
do
it's
a
to
let
you
know
this
is
about
three
blocks
from
the
Housing
Authority's
properties
on
Clark,
just
south
of
there
there's
apartment
complexes
in
the
area
we
know
when
habitat
comes
in
change,
happens,
we're
working
in
a
stack
of
right
now
and
we
we're
already
seeing
change
happen,
and
we
know
we
can
help
that
neighborhood
would.
A
E
E
She
had
been
sleeping
in
a
recliner
chair
for
a
year
and
a
half
because
she
had
no
place
else
to
sleep
so
I'm,
looking
up
to
the
heavens
and
all
of
a
sudden,
the
Bells
from
that
church
started
ringing.
So
to
me,
is
it
a
sign?
I,
don't
know,
but
it
really
impacts
what
we
do
and
we
broke
ground
the
other
day.
Last
Thursday,
we
have
found
private
money
enough
to
build
her
house
an
accessible
home.
E
G
Why
we're
here
today
they
want
to
do
two
lots,
but
they
want
to
be
able
to
sell
one
of
them.
Okay,
so
in
order
to
sell
they
have
to
sell
too
actually
if
they,
if
they
go
to
the
replay
process,
the
lot
that
the
the
second
lot
would
wouldn't
meet
the
dimensions
and
be
too
small,
the
only
place
that
we
could
change.
Those
Dimensions
is
here
at
the
VOA.
You
can't
do
it
at
p
and
Z.
G
It
has
to
be
done
here
to
the
boa
to
give
a
variance
for
the
size
of
the
lot
once
that
occurs,
they
can
plot
they'll,
have
two
separate
lots
and
they'll
be
able
to
sell
one,
but
if,
at
the
beginning
we
were
talking
about
renting
them
and
it
will
they
can
it's
an
R3.
They
could
put
two
two
homes
there
and
rent
them
all
day
long,
but
the
problem
is
when
they
try
to
sell
one
and.
B
B
A
Requests
but
honestly,
the
way
the
rules
are
written,
unfortunately,
is
that
nobody
knew
that
there
that
you
were
going
to
contemplate
two
houses
so
when
they,
when
the
rules
are
written,
that
doesn't
have
reasonable
use.
Yes,
it
does
have
reasonable
use
now,
I,
don't
know
any
other
questions
anybody
have
has
here.
A
A
A
E
Will
actually
buy
her
house
from
us
at
zero
interest
and
I?
Think
she's,
probably
gonna
pay
five
thousand
dollars
at
this
point,
the
other
house
would
be
different.
We
would
build
a
house
with
volunteer
labors
for
a
family
that
meets
our
requirements
and
they
would
live
in
it.
Our
houses
don't
turn
over
zero
interest
for
30
years.
You
know
it
makes
it
affordable
and
let
me
also
say
that
in
28
years
we've
had
no
foreclosures,
because
right
now,
I
have
183
mortgages
on
our
books
and
we
hold
the
mortgages.
H
I
I
F
F
F
Totally
they
can,
because,
if
you
put,
if
you
put
the
front
part
of
it,
instead
of
going
backwards,
make
it
wider
because
you
have
seven,
you
have
I,
don't
know
how
many
feet
do
you
have
46
feet
and
then
put
the
second
house
in
the
back
too
back
to
back
instead
of
the
front
door?
How
would
you
have
access
I
mean
I
mean
there'd,
be
a
walkway,
a
carport,
the
driveway
I,
don't
know
I.
I
G
G
G
B
E
J
E
H
I
I
E
E
They
want
to
go
for
me
and
there's
no
way
that
we
won't
put
her
there.
But
if
you
can
imagine
how
is
she
going
to
take
care
of
that
large
look,
you
know.
Frankly,
if
we
had
known
from
the
very
beginning
that
this
was
going
to
be
such
an
issue,
we
probably
would
have
looked
at
the
situation
differently,
but
we
didn't
know
and.
I
G
Or
three
it's
allowed
to
put
two
two
buildings
on
the
property.
Once
again
the
plan
that
they
have
totally
passes.
They
could
do
the
project
and
put
the
two
homes
they
can
do
all
that
they
want
to
be
able
to
convey
it.
They
want
to
be
able
to
convey
it
and
conveyor
the
first
time
that
we
were
talking
about
it.
It
was
doing
this.
Can
we
do
it
on
the
Zone?
Can
we
build
the
two
houses?
Yes,
you
can?
A
E
A
A
A
F
K
I
I
have
a
question:
I'm
I'm
a
rookie
here.
This
is
my
first
meeting
when
we're
looking
at
reasonable
use.
Are
we
able
to
look
beyond
the
land
itself
to
demographics
in
the
area
or
feasibility
or
anything
like
that,
or
is
it
limited
simply
to
reasonable
use?
Well,
they
wouldn't
be
able
to
build
in
this
spot
because
of
something
that's
wrong
with
the
property
itself.
I
think
Morley.
E
C
Mr
chairman,
so
Mr
motto,
you
said
this
could
take
place
here,
like
you
were
saying.
What
needs
to
be
done
needs
to
be
taking
place
at
the
board
of
adjustments.
My
question
is,
and
someone
checked
with
legal
I
mean:
do
we
have
the
authority
to
do
this,
even
on
a
like
the
way,
I
see
government
the
art
of
the
possible
you
see
when,
but
many
times
the
rules
that
are
put
in
place
for
us
kind
of
even
tie
our
hands
as
well.
C
G
C
G
The
rules
are
out
to
be
done
here
at
Board
of
adjustments
right
and
that's.
Why
they're
bringing
it
to
you
today,
because
if
they
go
to
Platte
they're
going
to
get
denied
because
it
doesn't
meet
the
ordinance
when
it
comes
to
the
lot
size,
so
they
would.
The
process
is
to
come
here
present
this
case.
If
they're
granted
the
the
size
of
the
lot,
then
they
can
go
and
get
a
building
permit.
They
can
take
well
the
building
program.
G
Just
going
to
rent
this,
they
wouldn't
have
to
do
anything
they
could
put
two
homes
on
it.
It's
one
lot
and
they
can
rent
all
day
long.
But
that's
not
the
case
here.
They
want
to
sell
half
of
it.
So
they
need
to
create
a
lot
two
lots,
so
they
can
sell
one,
and
then
one
goes
to
the
the
lady.
That's
that's
going
to
live.
E
E
You
know
mentors,
don't
necessarily
pay
taxes,
non-profits
certain
nonprofits
that
do
rent
non-profit
housing
entities.
They
pay
50
percent
I
understand
of
what
normal
taxes
are,
but
we're
also
talking
about
bringing
taxes
into
the
community
and
it
changes
people's
lives.
You
know
this
lady's
been
out
of
her
house
for
five
months
in
a
decent
place,
thanks
to
a
wonderful
supporter
of
habitat
and
she's,
already
much
more
well,
you
know
you
could
see
the
difference
just
I.
It
was
amazing
seeing
her
after
not
seeing
her
for
a
couple
of
months.
E
The
other
day
she
wants
to
walk
again.
You
know
things.
Change
and
I
know.
I
know
that
the
boa
has
made
exceptions
in
this
community
and
that's
why
you
exist
and
I
think
in
this
case
we're
going
to
do
the
responsible
thing
we're
going
to
change
the
look
of
the
neighborhood
and
I
believe
if
you'll
be,
you
can
look
past,
just
the
ordinances
and
think
about
the
purpose
and
what
good
can
come
from
it.
I
think
it
would
be
a
wonderful
thing
for
you
to
consider.
E
G
C
G
We
had
we
had
one
zone
that
came
in
it's
a
r1b
and
that's
the
smallest
zone
that
we
have
it's
for
new
development.
Currently
we're
we're
working
on
trying
to
tweak
it
we're
finding
some
problems
with
it,
but
we
are
looking
at
a
zone
that
would
create
more
density.
But
you
know
parking
becomes
an
issue
the
size
of
the
street,
so
we're
working
on
that
to
try
to
to
to
to
fix
some
of
the
issues
that
we're
having
with
some
of
the
complaints
for
it.
C
I
mean
I
do
know
that
there
are
there's
a
many
communities
building
smaller
homes
right
and
existing
lots
are
being
divided
up
to
to
create
more
density
and
stuff,
like
that,
so
I,
don't
know
if
our
ordinance
have
been
looked
at
or
changed
or
legal
has
looked
at
it
to
try
to
find
out
ways
to
find
solutions
to
these
types
of
problems
in
existing
neighborhoods.
Not
just
like
you
say,
new
developments
I
understand,
but
this
is
an
existing
neighborhood
that
in
essence
the
whole
area
around
Guadalupe
is
can
be.
J
G
C
I'm
just
saying
I
mean
it's
obvious
to
me
at
least
that
this
is
a
unique
situation
with
a
non-profit
whose
Charter
doesn't
allow
any
kind
of
rental
type
properties
their
their
job.
Their
their
Charter
is
basically
based
on
home
ownership
and
that's
what
it's
been
building
in
the
community
for
a
long
time.
So
I
understand
like
the
ordinances
that
we
look
at,
don't
really
they
kind
of
tie
our
hands
from
being
able
to
do
any
of
that.
All.
K
K
D
A
A
I
A
L
Thank
you
all
for
being
here
today
and
for
serving
the
city
as
you
do,
there's
a
couple
of
things
that
is
city
managers
are
concerned
about
right.
One
of
the
things
very
important
is
that
this
particular
non-profit
came
to
us
and
asked
us
for
for
us
to
proceed
and
we've
provided
incorrect
information
or
or
didn't
guide
them
correctly.
Having
said
that,
we
do
have
lots
that
we're
working
with
that
are
much
smaller.
I
would
request
for
you
to
make
an
exception
on
this
particular
lot.
L
L
I
Let
me
if
I
want
to
face
I
I
wanted
to
express
I.
Think
for
all
of
us,
we're
kind
of
in
a
you
know,
quandary
about
applying
the
rules
that
we
have
to
apply.
We
have
been
kind-hearted
to
Habitat
for
Humanity,
who
does
so
much
for
Laredo.
A
non-profit
does
so
many
good
things,
but
it's
coming
before
us
and
doesn't
meet
the
requirements.
You're
not
even
close
to
me
in
the
requirements
and
I,
don't
know
who
told
you
I,
miss
Gabriel,
told
you.
I
She
maybe
ought
to
know
better
than
to
tell
you
that
you
met
the
requirements
because
you
weren't
even
close.
What
has
to
happen?
Is
you
got
to
show
some
kind
of
need
to
get
this
other
than
you
move?
Somebody
out
you
want
to
sell
this
property
back
to
her.
You
can
sell
it
to
somebody
else
and
give
her
another
one.
You
can
make
two
out
of
this
and
put
two
families
in
there
theoretically
or
our
large
family
that
has
need
for
two
houses.
I
Theoretically,
it's
tough
when
you
put
us
in
a
position
as
Miss
Cabello
said.
Well,
do
the
right
thing!
Well,
you
want
us
to
make
the
wrong
call
to
do
the
right
thing,
in
other
words,
make
a
wrong
decision,
because
we're
doing
the
right
thing,
I
don't
want
to
make
the
wrong
decision.
I
try
not
to
make
the
wrong
decisions.
I
always
try
to
make
the
right
decision,
whether
it's
for
the
right
reason
wrong
reason.
If
it's
the
right.
I
Right
decision
period,
whether
it's
good
reason
bad
reason,
it's
the
right
decision.
Unfortunately,
in
this
case,
there's
not
a
lot
to
go
with
here.
All
you
have
is
a
lot
that
you
tore
down
three
structures
on
and
you
want
to
rebuild
it
and
you
can
rebuild
two
houses.
The
lady
can
rebuild
two
houses
put
her
handicapped
son
and
the
other
one.
You
mentioned
that
son
that
was
handicapped
or
whatever
I.
I
E
F
There's
so
many
everybody
comes
with
a
different
reason,
a
different,
and
it
just
you
know,
I
need
this
because
I
need
three
feet
here:
10
feet
here
or
eight
feet
there,
and
then
we
approve
this
there'll,
be
somebody
else
coming
and
saying:
well,
you
did
it
for
Humanity
Habitat
for
Humanity.
You
got
to
be
able
to
do
it
for
us,
that's
it
opens
it
opens.
Then.
E
E
Right
but
you've
still
got
a
lot
of
people
who
might
become
displaced,
so
I
think
there
definitely
needs
to
be
conversation
in
the
city
about
that
and
that's
not
my
responsibility.
My
responsibility
is
about
what
our
mission
is
and
I'm
trying
to
do
that
and
you
can
be
part
of
it.
If
you
choose
to
deny
it.
Obviously
it's
going
to
leave
us
with
a
huge
issue.
E
We
are
not
allowed
to
rent
houses
and
to
your
point,
Mr
levod,
if
the
lady
wanted
to,
if
we
don't
put
restrictions
in
that
deed,
which
we
will
definitely
be
doing,
she
could
sell
the
whole
property,
but
we
don't
let
that
happen.
You
know
we've
been
doing
this
for
28
years
and
in
the
United
States
for
38
years,
so
we
know
how
to
prevent
those
things
from
happening
and
we,
you
know,
we
we've
got
a
good
record.
How.
E
F
K
F
L
E
Know
and
and
I
have
some
some
things.
I
would
like
to
change
too,
but
that's
not
going
to
happen
because
that's
not
how
we're
chartered
and
that's
you
know
it's
my
job
to
make
sure
we
follow
the
rules
and
we're
only
going
to
be
successful
with
habitat
the
habitat
prototype
that
we
we
don't
do
it.
If
we
do
it
the
right
way.
K
I
That's
a
tough
one,
I
mean
that
lot
is
definitely
you
know
an
8
000
square
foot
or
anybody
can
build
on
it,
do
what
they
want
with
it.
It
Bears
no
unusual
circumstances.
As
far
as
I
heard
the
staff
say
that
there's
nothing
unusual
about
it
in
terms
of
location
or
size
or
Dimension
or
altitude,
or
anything
nothing
and.
I
I
We've
had
other
people
come
before
the
board
and
say:
well.
We
just
want
to
do
this
because
we
want
to
do
it.
Well,
no,
you
don't
get
to
just
do
what
you
want
to
do.
You
have
to
comply
with
the
ordinance
now,
if
there's
some
particular
reason
you
have,
and
it's
not
just
you
know
there
was
an
old
lady
living
there
hardship
somebody
old
living
there.
That's
not
enough.
I
mean
we've
had
old
people
too.
J
H
A
G
Don't
know
who
said
that,
apparently,
somebody
did
but
I
think
what
they
can
there
might.
The
only
cross-up
that
I
think
could
have
happened
is
that
they're
allowed
to
build
both
homes
on
the
R3
and
they're
fine.
When
the
issue
came
up
that
they
wanted
to
sell,
that's
when
it
became
different,
but
if
they
just
wanted
to
build
two
houses
on
there,
the
the
the
the
zone
for
that
area
R3
allows
them
to
do
that.
G
They
got
the
denial
because
the
Lots
were
too
small,
which
triggers
them
a
chance
to
come
to
the
boa
to
present
this
case,
because
the
boa
is
the
entity
that
can
grant
if
they
wish
the
size
variance
for
them,
so
they
can
go
forward
with
with
a
platted
lot
and
official
platted
lot.
I,
don't
know
where
and
there
that
we
told
them
that
it's
okay
to
sell,
because
that's
not
the
case
and
I'll
find
out
who
who
said
that?
That's
not
the
case.
C
If
they
built
the
first
house,
which
I
believe
that's
the
process
right,
deliberative
bodies
like
the
city
can
change
their
ordinances,
also
right
to
grant
us.
You
know
when
a
circumstance
arises,
that
okay,
something
else
could
be
triggered
so
that
we
could
I
understand
those.
Those
things
are
not
in
place
at
this
time,
but
could
that
be
something
Council
wants
to
visit
down
the
road
to
allow
something
of
this
type
of
unique
nature,
so
that
something
could
be
taking
place?
C
I
mean
I'm,
just
like
I,
say
I'm,
trying
to
find
the
possible
way
of
doing
this
and
delaying
the
structure
to
replant,
so
that
you
can
get
that
I
mean
I'm.
Just
throwing
that
out
there
deliberative
bodies
get
together
and
they
can
say
look.
This
is
what
we're
faced
with.
Can
we
do
this
and
that's
good
for
legal
to
take
up
whether
we
have
consistency
in
what
people
are
told
when
they
go
into
the
offices
here?
A
Maybe
the
best
thing
is
to
Buck
it
back
to
Legal,
to
to
zoning,
Planning
and
Zoning
into
legal
to
find
out
if
there's
some
way
that
this
would
qualify
because,
as
it
is
standing
on
its
own
two
feet
right
here,
it
doesn't,
it
doesn't
qualify
and
I
I
can't
see
where
it
qualifies
that,
yes,
we
all
do
have
a
heart
believe
it
or
not.
We
do
have
a
heart
up
here.
A
We've
had
to
make
some
real
hard
decisions
at
times,
and
but
we
still
are
up
here-
we've
also,
you
know
had
some
that
come
through
in
exactly
the
same
way
you
have
and
all
I
need
is
a
foot
here
or
two
feet
there
that
we've
had
to
deny
because
of
it
did
not
meet
the
qualifications.
So,
unless
I
have
a
any
other
motion,
I'll
entertain
a
motion
to
take
something.
