BOARD OF ADJUSTMENT 051822
A
B
C
D
A
Thank
you,
mr
motto.
If
everybody
can
stand
in
the
pledge
beliefs.
A
C
A
To
recommend
at
this
point,
but
we
may
have
to
do
it
at
some
point:
the
amendment
to
the
city,
ordinance
of
providing
for
a
a
minimum
of
seven
votes,
regardless
of
what
the
form
was
at
a
meeting,
and
this
is
a
perfect
example
of
of
that
meeting.
Do
I
have
a
motion
to
approve
those
minutes?
Some
more.
Second,
I
have
a
motion
in
a
second.
D
Just
a
status
update
that
ordinance
was
taken
to
city
council
and
it
was
passed.
Oh
it.
A
D
Yeah
as
presented
to
them,
oh.
A
A
F
A
A
Okay,
wow
well
all
right,
okay!
Well,
so!
Well!
Our
our
minutes
were
nonetheless
to
not
approve
that
that
proposed
amendment,
so
that
was
our
recommendation.
Was
that
recommendation
president
presented.
D
So,
okay,
so
we
took
it
to
I,
I
presented
them
to
the
attorneys,
the
the
other
attorneys
and
to
the
council,
and
you
know
they
didn't-
have
an
issue
with
any
change.
So.
D
C
G
A
Meet
yeah
there's
there's
no,
there's
no
point,
because
we
won't
get
to
seven
anyway.
Of
course,
my
I
was
always
of
the
opinion
that
that
sort
of
changes,
the
state
law
from
75,
at
least
for
quorums,
where
we
have
a
quorum
meeting
to
100,
at
least
in
the
seven
quorum.
You
know.
A
D
There's
a
reason
for
you
that
saying
I
just
don't
see
that
you
have
any
financial
connection.
A
B
A
Hear
the
presentation,
since
we
got
everybody
here.
A
But
we
had
a
motion
and
a
second,
we
didn't
get
a
vote
on
the
approval
of
the
minutes
from
last
time.
So
all
right,
we
had
a
motion.
There's
a
second
everybody
all
in
favor,
all
right,
all
right.
We'll
move
on
to
the
second
item,
which
is
consideration:
the
following
its
discussion
and
possible
recommendation
and
proposed
ordinance
amending
the
city
of
laredo,
lab
development
code,
section
24.1.3.1.
A
B
The
property,
description
and
location
is
lot
one
block
one
lago
del
mar
subdivision
unit
15
located
at
7609
barnett
avenue.
The
request
is
to
allow
an
led,
off-premise
sign
on
a
road
classified
as
a
minor
arterial
clarification.
The
lot
located
adjacent
to
80
foot
wide
right
away,
which
is
the
comprehensive
plans
classified
as
a
collector,
the
applicant's
position,
the
applicant
requests
for
the
following
variants.
B
This
was
the
zoning
map.
There
were
some
complications,
but
you
can
go
ahead
and
find
the
sony
map
on
your
in
your
pocket.
B
Staff
recommendation
staff
does
not
support
the
proposed
variants
for
the
following
reasons:
there
are
no
peculiar
and
unusual
circumstances
circumstances
associated
with
the
property
which
would
prevent
the
reasonable
use
of
land
if
a
variants
were
not
granted.
The
property
needs
a
minimum
width
of
46
feet
for
a
b3
zone
district.
As
per
the
lorito
land
development
code,
section
24.77,
the
property
width
is
approximately
103.49
feet.
The
denial
of
this
proposed
bearings
does
not
prevent
the
reasonable
use
of
land.
B
Four
off-premise
signs
on
a
road
test.
Classification
of
a
minor
arterial
are
not
allowed.
As
per
the
sign
ordinance
201704
under
article
2
division,
2,
section,
28.23
definitions
and
requirements
signed
ordinance
states.
A
billboard
sign
shall
be
permitted
only
along
a
major,
modified
arterial
or
greater
as
designated,
but
in
the
city's
therefore
plan
as
as
they
currently
exist
or
may
be
amended.
B
F
B
B
F
F
E
D
So
so
my
issue
with
this
and
and
being
the
board
of
adjustments
bringing
something
to
you
all.
I
try
to
look
for
a
hardship
and
we've
talked
about
this
before
and
if
there
is
a
hardship,
then
we
bring
it
to
you
all
if
there
is
no
hardship,
it's
hard
for
me
to
bring
an
item
to
you
because
there's
no
hardship
but
no
is
not
a
hardship.
Somebody
telling
you
no,
it's
not
a
hardship.
D
Okay,
you
have
to
provide
me
the
information
that
shows
me
that
there
is
a
hardship
in
this
case
and
there
was
nothing
present
unless
it's
going
to
be
president
presented
right
now,
but
nothing
was
presented.
So
it's
very
difficult
for
me
to
to
even
see
this.
I've
come
forward
to
you
all,
but
at
the
request
of
the
applicant
we
bring
it
to
you,
but
there
is
no
hardship
if
you
were
to
ask
me
right
now.
Why
did
you
put
this
on
here?
What's
the
hardship?
A
Well,
mr
knight,
you
basically
wouldn't
have
a
choice.
If
an
applicant
wants
to
appeal
you,
you
have
no
choice
but
to
allow
that
people
that's
correct,
but
I
did
notice
that
there
were
some
other
stated
reasons
why
the
permit
was
not
granted,
and
it
said
something
about
the
proposed
plans
not
having
the
address
of
the
sign
and
the
engineer's
seal.
D
Have
those
things
been
corrected,
so
that
was
done
in
order
to
get
to
this
point
here.
There
has
to
be
a
denial
right,
so
all
that
information
was
presented
to
the
building
department
and
at
the
building
department
they
determined
based
on
the
information
that
it
was
denied
it
wasn't
allowed.
That
would
trigger
them
to
come
forward
to
the
to
the
board
of
adjustments,
but
that
information
has
not
been
cleared
yet.
Okay,.
A
Does
anybody
have
any
other
questions
of
staff
tonight?
I
think
I'll
go
ahead
and
entertain
a
motion
open
the
public
hearing
so
before
before
I
do
that.
Can
I
maybe
just
add
one
thing
in
the
motion
to
open
the
public
hearing.
Can
I
ask
that
the
three
minute
per
speaker
rule
that
seems
to
be
a
consonant
to
see
that
we
waived
that
for
these
hearings
because
we're
a
one
matter
hearing
the
board,
we're
gonna
waive
that
three-minute
rule?
If,
if
that
could.
E
A
Open
the
public
hearing,
if
you
have
a
second
yeah
mr
norton
seconds
on
favor,
to
open
public
hearing
all
right,
all
right,
okay,
well,
who
would
want
to
go
first?
Is
anybody
want
to
speak
for
the
just
real
quick
just
to
introduce.
D
She's,
the
actor
she's,
the
the
examiner
that
examined
this
case:
okay
and
jerry
kingston
who's,
our
building,
official,
okay,.
D
A
Okay,
so
is
there
anybody
that
wants
to
speak
for
the.
G
A
The
approval
of
the
of
your
variants:
how
do
you
introduce
yourself.
I
Yes,
sir,
absolutely
good
afternoon,
danny
deguina
for
the
record
and
I've
been
hired
by
a
robert
achar
to
assist
mr
wurstak
and
himself
through
this
variance
process.
On
this
on
this
billboard
and
I'm
here
to
speak
in
favor
and.
J
I
You
know
I
initially
I
wanted
to
do
that,
but
I
was
told
by
the
staff
that
the
system
wasn't
working,
so
we
got
hard
copies
instead,
so
well.
A
lot
of
information
in
here
has
already
been
sort
of
discussed.
You
know
as
part
of
the
process
right,
but
but
so
a
quick
overview
property
owner
is
mrs
alice.
Warstack
store
unlimited,
if
approved
the
sign
operator
would
be
char
media.
Mr
robert
sharp
I've
been
hired
as
a
consultant.
I
I'm
a
city
planner
by
trade.
I've
been
doing,
I've
been
in
city
planning
for
almost
10
years,
so
just
hired
to
you
know
help
them
through
this.
You
know
challenging
process.
If
you
will,
the
proposal
is
for
a
digital
billboard
in
the
location
7609
north
bartlett.
I
So
if
you
look
at
the
aerial
you
can
see
del
mar
to
the
north,
and
so
our
site,
where
the
arrow
is
at,
is
basically
on
the
northern
section
of
barton,
which
is
about
650
feet,
north
of
the
bartlett
extension,
the
one
that
was
built
five
six
seven
years
ago.
Obviously
it's
a
commercial
corridor.
Everything
around
there
is
commercial
in
nature.
I
Okay,
if
I'm
going
too
fast,
please
feel
free
to
interrupt
me
at
any
time.
Okay,
I
do
want
to
be
conscious
of
your
of
your
time.
I
So
our
request,
as
already
stated,
is
for
an
exception
to
the
literal
interpretation
of
the
sign
ordinance
and
for
the
granting
of
a
variance
to
the
roadway
classification
standards.
So
in
essence,
right
in
order
to
erect
a
billboard
in
city
of
radio,
is
you
need
three
major
things
right?
It
has
to
be
planted.
You
need
to
have
the
zoning,
for
you
need
to
meet
the
spacing
requirements,
and
in
this
case,
which
we've
learned
is
billboards
can
only
be
erected
on
certain
roadways,
okay,
right
so.
I
Zoning
spacing
requirements
which
is
really
the
golden
rule
in
the
billboard,
business
and
now
obviously
roadway
classification.
I
So
we're
section
we're
essentially
asking
for
a
variance
to
build
this
billboard
on
a
minor
arterial
which
is
just
under
the
roadway
classification
that
is
needed
right.
So
it's
so
just
just
to
give
you
a
sense,
so
transportation
engineers
have
established
a
hierarchy
when
it
comes
to
roadway
classifications.
I
Okay,
so
you
have
local
roads.
Collectors
arterials,
which
have
subcategories
minor,
modified
major
okay,
and
so
obviously
they
all
function
differently.
They
have
different
amount
of
lanes
right
away.
Some
provide
more
mobility,
more
access,
but
they
vary
right.
So
in
essence,
the
bartnet
extension
was
designed
and
built
as
a
major
arterial.
Okay.
Now
this
is
going
to
sound
a
bit
strange,
but
for
some
reason-
and
I'm
not
sure
why-
but
on
the
thoroughfare
plan-
is
it's
classified
as
a
minor
arterial?
I
Now
I
spoke
to
the
engineer
that
designed
this
roadway.
I
spoke
to
david
arredondo
from
alexander
development.
I
spoke
to
robert
pena
from
the
traffic
department
as
well,
and
he
told
me
straight
up.
He
was
like
it's
five
names.
You
have
two
lanes.
Northbound
28
southbound,
you
have
a
center
turning
lane.
You
have
100
feet
of
right
away.
That
road
should
be
classified
as
a
major
arterial.
I
Okay,
so
you
know
before
I,
so
why
should
this
vary
be
a
fruit,
so
before
I
get
into
that,
it's
important
that
I
communicate
this.
So
I
am
an
educated,
trained
and
experienced
city
planner.
I
have
a
master's
degree
in
city
planning.
I
have
worked
for
various
cities
as
a
planner.
I
I've
served
on
the
pnz
commission
I've.
I
worked
for
the
kitten
family
as
a
developer,
so
I've
studied
this
stuff.
I've
worked
in
it.
I
voted
on
it.
I
fought
against
it
as
a
developer,
so
I've
seen
every
facet
of
this
process.
Okay.
Now
the
importance
of
this
is
not
so
much
to
communicate
my
qualifications,
but
more
so
what
I
want
you
all
to
know
is.
C
I
I
started
this
consulting
company.
I
started
it
as
a
city
planner,
okay,
so
before
I
even
you
know,
come
to
the
b
of
a
or
to
the
commission
or
to
city
council.
I
vetted
the
projects
that
I
take
on,
and
so
it's
important
for
you
all
to
know
that
I
would
never
take
on
a
job
that
I
don't
believe
in
as
a
city
planner,
okay.
I
So
with
that
being
said,
so,
let's
start
with
the
bartlett
extension
our
property.
So
I've
covered
most
of
the
points
here.
In
essence,
the
roadway
was
designed
and
built
to
accommodate
higher
traffic
volumes.
Five
names
right.
We
all
know
that
our
property
is
just-
is
approximately
650
feet,
north
of
the
bargain
extension
across
the
creek,
as
you
showed.
I
Obviously,
our
property
is
fronting,
what's
classified
as
a
minor
material.
So
in
reality
the
only
difference
between
the
roadway
that
we
front
and
bartlett
is
20
feet
of
right
way.
I
J
I
Any
any
questions
this
point
is
del
mar
a
major
ulterior.
Yes,
there
it
is,
it
is
classified
and
really
again.
The
only
difference
is
that
it
has
a
center
median
lane
and
it
has
an
extra
20
feet
of
right
away.
E
And
mcpherson
also
is
considered
a
major
arterial.
Yes,
sir,
okay,
yes,
sir,
and
has
almost
the
same
the
same
specs
as
what
department
expansion
looks
like.
I
C
What
north
of
the
creek
and
south
of
the
greek.
C
I
I
No,
I
mean
obviously
that
section
of
roadway
was
built
years
ago
now.
What
I'm,
what
I'm
going
to
assume
is
that
at
some
point.
I
Right
so
granted
we
don't
have
that
20
feet
of
right-of-way
and
we
won't
have
a
center-turning
name,
but
if
you
think
about
it
right
at
a
practical
level,
we're
connected
to
the
bartlett
extension
so
effectively.
Even
though
we
don't
have
that
20
feet
of
right-of-way,
it's
operating
as
a
major
material.
Our.
I
A
Extension
is
there
room
available
to
acquire
additional
right
away.
I
That
is
a
great
question.
That's
a
question
from
china.
A
D
You
had
that
little
extension,
you're
talking
about
up
to
the
creek
was
the
first
part
that
was
built
and
then,
after
that
the
city
came
in
with
their
funding
and
built
the
second
part
apartment
and
they
were
able
to
acquire
more
land
there
was.
They
were
dealing
with
the
landowner
to
leave
that
whole
track
as
alexander
correct
yesterday,
so
they
were
able
to
talk
to
them.
Get
the
win
before
that.
All
I
could
say
is
they
probably
did
not
talk
to
anybody
to
try
to
get
more
with
or
if
they
did.
D
There
was
multiple
owners.
There
were
buildings
already
established
and
they
weren't
able
to
do
that.
But
the
idea
of
that
a
classification
changing
is
common,
it
happens
it
it.
It's
not
just.
Oh
it's!
You
know
it's
a
major
here.
Well,
just
continue
to
major
there.
There
are
transitions
depending
on
where
it's.
G
Headed
but
that's
not
necessarily
accurate,
because
del
mar
boulevard
is
a
major
arterial
del
mar
boulevard
goes
down
to
two
lanes
just
because
the
city's
never
had
the
pool
to
buy
out
the
people
that
live
there.
Two
different
it
goes
yeah
because
it
goes
from
boulevard
to
two
lanes.
Then
it
opens
back
up.
So
that's
not
so.
G
D
I'm
sorry,
if
you
look
at
that
del
mar
boulevard,
where
the
law
offices
going
west,
the
city
has
that
right
away,
they've
chosen
not
to
if
you,
if
not
to
expand
it
out.
But
if
you
look
at
some
of
those
houses
as
you're
driving
west
you'll
see
they
have
long
front
yards
well.
The
reality
is
that
half
of
their
front
yard
is
right
away
that
belongs
to
the
city
all
the
way
down.
D
A
D
Know
what
we
do
is
we
we
classify
it.
We
give
it
a
dimension
specifically
del
mar
that's
the
the
higher-ups
that
determine
whether
they
want
to
expand
it
or
not.
We
have
the
right
to
go
in
there.
We
can
expand
it,
they
just
haven't
done
it
in
years.
So
what
you're
talking
about
is
going
to
somebody's
home,
knock
on
their
door
and
say
hey
we're
coming
in
up
to
this
point.
You
know
which
is
half
their
front.
C
D
Even
more
than
half
of
their
front
yard,
you
know
so
it's
been
brought
up
to
the
council,
they
know
it's
there.
The
councilman
knows
he
has
it
right
away,
but
there
hasn't
been
a
councilman.
That's
triggered
that
to
find
the
funding
to
expand
it
and,
and
that
I
guess
that's
the
third
which
funding
you
know.
Can
you
can
you
get
the
money
to
widen
that
right
now,
we're
just
having
problems
getting
asphalt,
so
I
can't
tell
you
john,
does
not
want
to
get
involved.
Okay,.
G
G
G
Is
a
major
arterial,
but
for
once
it
crosses
the
creek
it
bumps
down.
Just
because
we're
missing
a
turn
lane,
which
we
have
highways,
we
have
business
59,
which
is
saunders,
doesn't
always
have
a
turn
lane
either
and
that's
a
major
arterial
or
it's
not
even
it's,
even
above
a
major
artillery,
which
is
a
united
states
highway,
so
kind
of
it.
It
just
sounds
like
the
city's
picking
and
choosing
when,
if
it
changes
it.
H
E
D
I
When
do
you
reach
that
class
of
k,
this
is
a
major
material.
It's
it's
it.
It
is
in
a
in
a
nutshell,
mr
martinez.
Typically
historically
is
you
know
the
design
of
the
roadway
is.
What
is
what
classifies
it?
I
mean
there
are
highways
all
all
over
the
country
that
are
massive.
That
might
get.
You
know
a
thousand
cars
a
day,
so
it's
not
necessarily
so
much
the
amount
of
lanes
or
the
volume,
but
it's
typically
how
the
roadways
are
designed
is.
D
D
E
A
Would
they
be
allowed
depends
on
where
you're
talking
about
well
what
we
call
below
the
creek,
where
it
starts
a
100
feet?
Basically,.
D
Yeah
they
could
yes.
G
So
we're
differentiating
over
300
feet
that
they're
300
feet
too
far.
North.
D
Well,
once
again,
you
know
the
board
of
adjustments
is
we're
looking
at
what?
What
is
the
burden
here?
What
what
is
it
that,
because
this
property
can
be
developed,
you
know
because
if
they
don't
get,
the
sign
doesn't
mean
this
property
doesn't
work
for
anybody
else.
I
mean
it's
a
developable
piece
of
land,
okay
and
the
ordinance
is
such
that
a
sign
doesn't
go
in
this
location.
E
You
mention
you
mentioned
something
that
the
city
has
its
community.
You
know
grows
or
whatever
they
they
come
to
determination.
Okay,
this
is
now
a
major
arterial
right
somewhere
that
trigger
can
be
pulled
and
the
city
can
say
this
is
now
a
major
arterial
and
then
they
would
be
able
to.
Like
mr
said
it
would
be
if
it's
a
major
achievement
would
have
been
improved
right.
I
mean.
G
E
D
Traffic,
usually
the
traffic
director
usually
will
evaluate
that
and.
E
A
E
F
C
F
H
H
H
Section
of
bartlett
so
that
they
could
sell
the
land
that
they
over
there
and
I
don't
know
why
they,
they
only
you,
know
dedicated
in
80
foot
right
away.
But
if
you
can't
drive
from
fenwick
to
del
mar
and
in
other
words
all
the
traffic
that
goes
from
fenwick
to
del
mar
passes
through
our
segment
and
it's
the
same
quantity
of
traffic,
so
that
that's
all
I
want
to
do
well.
H
F
The
the
future
thoroughfare
maps
required
a
collector
there
on
that
property
and
that's
why
the
84
right
away
was
required.
So
that's
why
they
built
it
and.
A
F
F
A
A
A
C
H
H
A
You
know
to
turn
into
the
church.
For
example,
they
seemed
you.
H
B
H
A
Does
anybody
have
any
other
comments,
anybody
else
that
want
to
speak
for
the
item.
D
I
With
yeah,
okay,
thank
you
thank
you,
so
so
on
page
six,
our
assessment
on
bartlett
and
the
side
right
so.
I
Still
struggling
with
congestion,
it
is
our
opinion
that
new
investment
and
development
along
gartner
with
will
fuel
further
investment
and
development
along
partners,
obviously
activity,
whether
in
a
neighborhood
on
a
roadway
right,
gets
other
people
interested
right.
So
when
you
have
more
investment,
more
development
like
this
other
people
are
going
to
come
and
start
developing
right.
So
the
idea
is
hopefully
in
the
near
future.
I
This
roadway
was
9
million
dollars,
and
the
city
put
up
50
percent
of
this
for
two
major
purposes
as
a
relief
route
and
to
encourage
and
incentivize
development-
and
I
mean
this
is
exactly
what
we're
doing
with
this
right
is
this
billboard
is
an
investment.
It
is
development
and
by
by
investing
in
this
area,
by
building
in
this
area,
right
where
eventually,
people
are
gonna
drive
through
here,
use
it
more,
and
so
it's
effectively
going
to
do
what
it's
supposed
to
do,
and
now
our
tax
dollars
are
being
used
properly
right.
I
I
don't
think
bartlett
is,
is
providing
the
relief
to
children
right
now,
because
it
doesn't
have
enough
development
on
there
right
now.
I
I
I
did
want
to
want
to
touch
on
mr
montes.
You
made
a
good
point,
mr
muntes,
on
on
opening
up
the
kind
of
worms,
but
I
will
tell
you
that
there
is
a
tremendous
amount
of
interest
for
other
signs,
along
with
it.
Okay.
I
We
we
are
zone
b3,
actually
the
entirety
from
fenwick
all
the
way
to
del
mar.
Ninety
percent
of
it
is
b3,
so
I
mean
it's
entirely
commercial
nature.
So
it's
a
commercial
corridor.
It's
meant
to
serve
these
types
of
purposes
right
and
so
really
the
only
thing
preventing
us
from
being
able
to
build
this
billboard
is
20
feet
of
right
away
right
now.
I
I
I
did
want
to
bring
this
up,
because
I
think
this
is
this
is
very
very
important.
Is
we
have
some
recent.
I
Okay,
two
lanes
collector
60
for
the
right-of-way
we
have
80.
We
have
four
lanes
we're
classified
as
a
monitor.
Now,
on
top
of
that,
if
you
go
to
you'll,
see
the
page
where
japan
was
at
the
city
of
moringa
built
and
allowed
that
digital
billboard
right
there
to
promote
the
nba
and
is
now
promoting
off-premise
businesses
and
jacobin
is
a
connector,
so
you
know
it,
it
was
done.
I
It
was
done
by
the
city
of
roredo,
and
so
you
know
the
argument
is
not
so
much
give
it
to
us
because
you
already
gave
it
to
them
right.
I
think
that's
one
part
of
it,
but
it's
also,
you
know,
give
it
to
us
because
it's
been
given
to
them,
but
because
we
know
it
works,
it's
been
done.
I
mean
it
was
done
by
the
city
of
already
when
a
collector
and
they
actually
have
a
lower
classification
that
than
our
roadway
does,
and
this
is
a
much
larger
sun.
D
Sun,
I
just
this
board
this
group.
I
don't
think
this
is
the
place
for
this
item.
There's
some
points
that,
yes,
the
council
can
make
adjustments
to
the
ordinance
to
make
this
happen,
that
that's
where
it
can
be
done.
He
was
denied
because
he
didn't
meet
the
ordinance
once
again
to
bring
it
to
you
all.
It's
got
to
be
a
hardship.
There
is
no
hardship
here.
D
I
can't
I
can't,
unless
I
haven't
heard
of
what
the
hardship
is
other
than
20
feet,
but
well
that
has
that
that
could
be
taken
care
of
outside
of
here
with
city
council
to
adjust
the
ordinance
based
on
some
of
the
information
he's
saying,
with
some
experts
that
are
on
his
team,
they
could
come
to
the
table.
I
know
that
that
the
experts
were
in
the
room
and
planning
zoning
to
create
the
site
ordinance
and
that's
where
it
was
taken
care
of.
D
C
A
That,
before
with
the
denial
by
the
city
manager
and
what
is
the
remedy,
if,
if
we
deny
mr
neller.
F
But
it
is
they,
they
do
not
receive.
Neither
newspaper
nor
mail-out
notice.
C
I
So
so,
mr
navarro
keeps
harping
on
this
hardship
right.
The
worst
tax
made
an
investment
here.
They
acquired
this
property.
Thinking
that
you
know
they
were
going
to
be
able
to
expand
their
storage
operation
and
build
a
digital
billboard
right.
I
You
know,
hardship
aside,
you
know,
given
the
current
economic
climate
and
what
we
may
be
facing
here.
Pretty
soon
I
mean
we
have
an
investor
who
is
ready
and
willing
to
do
a
deal
and,
in
my
opinion
I
think
more
than
ever
you
know
we
should
support
individuals
like
the
worst
acts
like
the
robert
of
chars
of
the
world,
who
are
investing
in
in
our
community
not
now
now
I
do
want
to
touch
on.
I
I
I'm
just
going
to
read
it
to
you
all
so,
and
this
is
straight
from
the
land
development
code
when
making
this
standards
for
granting
variances.
So
this
these
are
basically
the
standards
that
this
board
should
make
when
you're
evaluating
a
variance.
I
Okay
is
the
variance
in
line
with
the
spirit
and
the
intent
of
the
ordinance.
I
In
my
professional
opinion,
there
is
no
doubt
in
my
mind
there
that
it
is
and
I'll
and
I'll
touch
on
that
on
the
next
slide.
Now
you
need
to
look
make
sure
that
residential
property
values
are
protected,
we're
on
a
commercial
corridor,
there's
no
residential
anywhere
in
sight
right.
The
health
and
safety
of
the
general
citizen
right
now,
digital
billboards
are
all
over
laredo,
now
they're
commonplace.
I
If
they
were
unsafe,
if
they
were
dangerous,
the
city
council
would
have
banned
the
market.
All
right.
Will
this
decision
impact
culture,
historic
aspects
of
the
city?
Absolutely
not,
and
will
it
impact
the
character
of
the
neighborhood?
I
It
won't
because
I
mean
this
entire
corridor
is
commercial
in
nature.
Now
there
was
a
residential
area.
I
would
have
never
promised
you
all
right,
but
but
if
you
look
at
the
standards
that
that
should
guide
your
decision
making
when
renting
a
very
I
mean
we
meet
all
the
standards
so
just
because
a
hardship
doesn't
exist.
If
you
look
at
this,
all
these
boxes
are
checked.
I
You
know,
and
the
only
thing
coming
between
us
and
in
this
project
is
basically
20
feet
of
right
away
and
a
planning
director
who's.
Just
stuck
on
this
hardship
deal
you
know,
and
so
I'd
like
to
make
one
last
point:
if
I
may
you
know
the
spirit
and
intent
of
the
ordinance
is
very,
very
important
when
I
was.
C
I
City
planner
in
north
texas,
you
know
you
right,
we
giraffe
these
ordinances.
Okay,
I
use
I've
drafted
zoning
ordinances,
this
subdivision
of
ordinances
right
now.
You
can't
get
everything
right.
So
not
every
project
is
gonna
fit
in
this
box,
and
so
ultimately,
at
the
end
of
the
day,
what
we
have
to
do
is
evaluate
the
spirit
in
the
intent
of
the
ordinance
and
does
this
violate
the
spirit
and
intent.
In
my
professional
opinion
it
does
not
it's
not
hurting
property
values,
it's
not
affecting
the
general
welfare.
I
It's
not
endangering
people.
It's
not
breaking
the
spacing
standards,
which
is
huge
on
the
side,
but
not
the
billboard.
Not
only
did
this
board
grant
that
variance
on
a
collector,
but
there
was
a
billboard
300
feet
away.
It
broke
the
spacing
standards
as
well,
2018,
and-
and
so
it's
not
you
know,
our
position
again
is-
is
we're
not
asking
for
anything
out
of
the
ordinary
we're
coming
to
this
board
because
we
hit
an
obstacle
if
you
will,
but
you
know
it's
it's
been
done,
it
was
done
in
2018.
I
D
So
he
you
know
knowing
that
he's
a
planner,
because
he
stated
that
several
times
he
knows
the
system,
I'm
not
saying
that
some
of
his
arguments
aren't
valid,
but
there's
a
there's,
an
approach
to
this.
You
take
it
to
the
pmc
commission.
You
talk
to
the
council,
you
talk
to
the
city
manager,
you
talk
to
the
traffic
department,
you
adjust
the
ordinance
accordingly
there
there
is
a
place
to
do
that.
They
fail
to
want
to
do
that,
but
there
is
a
place
to
do
that.
D
To
bring
up
some
of
the
questions
you
all
have,
which
would
be
asked
by
the
pnc
commission.
There
is
a
proper
way
of
doing
this.
This
is
not
the
the
approach
as
a
planner,
a
guy
who's
created
ordinances.
He
understands
the
process.
He
understands
how
it
goes
and,
like
he
said,
ordinances
aren't
a
hundred
percent
and
they
can
be
tweaked
or
maybe
by
years
and
it's
such
an
ordinance
have
been
around
forever.
That
was
never
adjusted.
It
can
be
done.
It's
just.
J
J
A
I
C
A
Asking
for
that,
they
wouldn't
be
able
to
use
the
property
in
a
reasonable
way
that
that's
the
standard
and
that
that's
the
hardship
that
I
think
mr
nagano
talks
about
not
a
hardship,
an
actual
g
there's
a
hardship.
No,
you
just
don't
meet
the
first
test,
which
is
there's
something
unusual
or
strange
or
peculiar
about
the
property
such
that
the
denial
would
deny
you
the
reasonable
use
of
it.
So.
D
And
if
you
recall
there
was
a
meeting
that
we
actually
brought
an
item
to
the
agenda
and
it
was
actually
kicked
back
to
us
and
you
all
didn't
take
any
action,
because
the
committee
thought
this
is
not
our
jurisdiction
and
it
was
kicked
back
and
we
had
to
go
to
the
building
department
and
work
it
out
with
the
the
applicant.
You
know
so.
We've
had
that
happen
because
there
was
no
well.
A
I'll
go
ahead
and
entertain
a
motion
to
close
the
public
hearing
and
oh,
if
there's
no
more
public
comments.
I
Mr
chairman,
mr
char
would
like
to
oh
okay.
Can
I.
K
K
K
In
other
words,
I
am
meeting
the
standard.
If
this
is
allowed,
I
am
meeting
the
standard
on
being
so
far
away
from
the
right
way
if
you
travel
on
somebody
or
jack
and
then
or
this
portion
apartment
you're,
not
any
closer
or
distracted
because
of
the
signage.
This
signage
eats
up
more
linear
feet
on
both
sides
of
the
roadway
than
any
other
type
of
signage,
and
this
is
the
smallest
possible
platform
for
this
type
of
signage.
K
So
it
does
not
open
a
can
of
worms
because
it
it
will
encompass
both
sides
of
the
highway.
As
far
as
spacing
is
concerned,
as
far
as
lumens
and
light
pollution,
that
is
regulated
by
the
city-
and
I
have
a
phone
number
at
the
state
where
they
call
me
24
hours
if
something
goes
out
of
whack
and
I've
got
to
fix
it
immediately
or
I
get
fined
on
other
signage.
That's
state
signage.
K
K
K
K
K
K
So
if
you're
state
farm
or
if
you're
the
consulting
business,
now
you
can
have
your
business
shown
on
a
platform
that
is
very
small
and
very
very
restricted
up
to
24
businesses
with
four
images
per
business
that
to
me
you're,
creating
a
hardship
by
denying
that's
the
way.
I
look
at
it
because
I
deal
with
the
businesses.

For
example,
state
highway
300
foot
spacing,
but
if
you
make
it
digital,
it
sucks
up
1500
feet:
3
000
feet,
you're,
not
talking
about
the
proliferation
of
billboards
on
market.
That's
not.
J
C

D
D
I
could
be
wrong
in
that
ordinance,
but
it
was
to
control
the
signs
and
space
them
out
and
provide
some
kind
of
order
for
the
science,
because
the
competition
was
fierce,
but
so
we
so
the
city
came
in
with
an
ordinance
to
control
the
signs
you
know.
Advertisement
has
changed
over
the
years.
You
know
with
cell
phones.
Now
with
all
the
advertisement
you
get
on,
that
newspapers
are
not
getting
the
the
ads
that
they
used
to
they're
we're
trending
away
from
the
old
standard
of
advertising.
D
It's
become
much
more
difficult,
I
believe
so
does
you
know?
Should
we
be
considering
more
billboards,
or
should
we
could
be
considering
less
billboards
because
now
advertisements
change?
You
know
a
lot
of
people
follow
this.
I
know
one
of
those
businesses,
that's
in
here
that
doesn't
have
a
billboard
is
riding
thriving
they're,
just
they're
hitting
record
numbers,
even
through
kobe,
no
billboard.
So
you
know
you
can
argue
well.
A
I
I
think
the
hardship
was
maybe
not
the
the
hardship,
that's
created
by
not
being
able
to
advertise
your
services
or
not
being
able
to
get
as
known
as,
let's
see
it's
the
hardship
of
the
particular
characteristics
of
the
property
that
we
have
to
come
back
to
that
right.

Ahead
again
and
move
to
close
the
public
hearing,
if
there's
anybody
else
who
wants
to
speak
in
favor
of
the
item
in
favor
of
the
item,
if
not
I'll
go
ahead
and
maybe
move
to
the
close
vote
hearing
that
I
have
a
motion.
Second,
the
second
quotes
probably
carry
all
my
favorite
closing
public
hearings.
A
Okay,
so
I
guess
I'll
have
to
entertain
a
motion
to
either
grant
or
deny
the
variance
or
hum
or
table
now.
If
we
table
well
again,
remember
the
rules
about
table
and
we
can
table
to
a
specific
time
or
a
specific
meeting
or
or
just
table
in
general
now
what
mr
navado
said
was
something
that
I
was
thinking
of,
maybe
that
that
portion
of
that
property
can
be
reviewed,
that
portion
that
road
can
be
reviewed.
You
know
maybe
ask
that
to
be
recharacterized.
A
In
in
that
instance,
mr
navarro,
as
some
kind
of
a
mage,
a
bumping
up
from
a
minor
to
a
major
or
or
or
because
of
the
well
basically
the
amount
of
traffic
on
it,
which
would
be
the
same
amount
of
traffic
south
of
the
creek,
you
know
that'd
be
bumped
up
to
a
major
arterial
or
something
I
I
don't
know
what
what
the
you
know.
You
know
that
there's
something
else
that
can
be
done
there,
maybe.
E
E
You
know
that
this
is
a
characteristics
of
a
major
arterial
and
it's
it's
more
than
likely
going
to
progress
to
that
particular
designation,
and,
if
that,
if
that
could
happen,
that
I
would
move
to
give
you
know
even
up
to
90
days
of
a
postponement
so
that
that
kind
of
you
know,
because
it's
more
than
one,
I
think
it's
more
interdepartmental.
It's
not
just
one
department
that
has
to
go
through
this.
E
Give
them
sufficient
time
to
kind
of
evaluate
that,
so
that
maybe
this
is
where
the
solution
really
lies.
I
think
that's
where
the
solution.
G
E
Second,
mr
martinez,.
G
A
That
would
be
mr
norton's
motion
to
table
it
for
90
days
or
until
the
what
would
be
three
meetings
from
now,
which
would
be
the
august
meeting.
If
would
that
be?
Okay,
mr
burton
sure,
could
I
say
that
your
motion
would
be
to
table
into
the
august
meeting
all
right.
A
Okay,
and
with
that,
I
guess
I'll,
go
ahead
and
entertain
a
motion
to
return
a
motion
right
there,
mr
jordan,
we
have
some
cold
food
for
you.
