Those
in
favor
all
right,
if
some
carries.
Thank
you.
The
next
item.
We
have
some
citizens
comments
and
I
do
have
some
citizens
comments
here.
I.
Imagine
that
everybody
would
like
to
speak
at
the
public
hearing,
because
they
all
addressed
specific
item.
Is
that
correct?
That's
correct!
Okay,
all
right!
A
First
item
that
we
have
is
a
public
hearing
amending
the
zoning
ordinance
Matt
for
the
city
laredo
by
rezoning,
a
lot
to
block
1513
Eastern
Division,
located
at
24
13
septic
Latta
street
from
our
three
make
residential
to
be
three
community
business
district.
This
is
a
public
hearing.
Anybody
who
wishes
to
speak
in
favor
of
his
own
change
in
favor
of
the
zone,
change.

Last
time
that
we
we
heard
this
item,
he
was
supposed
to
talk
to
the
department
staff
and
and
try
to
accommodate
a
condition
just
permit
in
that
in
that,
even
here,
so
I,
don't
really
I,
don't
really
seem
much,
but
other
than
to
up
then
to
side
with
staff.
Recommendations.
Okay,
is
that
the
motion
which
were
he'll
do
was
gonna
mention
something
now
you.
D
B
D
C
C
A
J
A
Motion
do
we
have
a
second?
Second,
all
those
in
favor
of
the
motion
I
time
all
those
games
motion
carries.
Thank
you
next,
tighter
than
we
have
is
item
6b.
This
is
a
public
hearing
amending
the
zoning
ordinance
map
for
the
city
loiter
by
authorizing
the
issuance
of
a
conditional
use
permit
for
the
commercial
built
for
the
commercial
billboard
on
approximately
point
zero
one,
three,
seven
acres
out
of
lot,
one
block,
one
trade
applies
a
subdivision
located.
Eighteen,
fifty
Shiloh.
This
is
a
public
hearing.
There
was
nineteen
property
owners
notified.
There's
there
any
updates,
no.
A
F
I
feel
like
it
is
it's
an
area
that
that
is
part
of
the
beautiful
because
of
the
the
vast
distance
that
you
have
in
that
area.
I
think
that
that
we
issue
that
we
approve
a
conditional
use
permit
then
someone
later
down
the
road
someone
else
on
that
street
is
going
to
ask
for
their
own
conditional
use.
Department
they're
gonna
look
back
at
this
one
and
say:
well
you
gave
that
one.
Why
don't
you
give
me
this
one?
So
I'm,
gonna
I
mean
I'm
gonna
personally
vote
that
I,
don't
think
that
we
should
approve
it.
F
I
think
that
the
area's
is
residential.
It's
a
nice
area,
it's
upper
middle
class
to
middle-class
homes,
a
lot
of
people
in
that
area,
that's
their
first
home
that
they've
ever
bought
and
I
think
that
we
need
to
preserve
the
value
of
those
neighborhood
that
neighborhood
and
to
turn
that
Street
into
a
commercial
add
a
sign
corridor
is
a
bad
choice
for
that
area.
In
my
view,.
C
Mr.
chairman,
no
not
sure
if
this
would
only
the
commissioners
concerns,
but
there
are
minimum
separation
distances
that
they
would
need
to
abide
by,
especially
with
off-premise,
ions
or
LED
signs.
Your
packet
mentions
that
for
off-premises
there's,
a
15-foot
I'm.
Sorry,
you
want
a
thousand
five
hundred
feet.
Minimum
separation
distances
along
the
same
quarter,
so
it
wouldn't
the
they
wouldn't
be
allowed
to
have
just
you
know,
on
every
single
lot
you
wouldn't
be
able
to
put
you
know
a
sign
of
this
type.
C
F
You
for
that
and
that
that's
not
the
point
like
that's
my
point
like
that,
you
think
you
have
to
do
that.
It's
my
point.
You
know
it's
like
you
buy
a
house
in
that
area.
You
know
it's
a
quiet
area,
it's
a
residential
area,
it's
not
on
a
commercial
street.
You
know
it's
a
that.
Could
that
those
homes
in
that
area
could
potentially
be
the
largest
investment
that
that
family
ever
has
in
their
lifetime.
You
know
and
to
approve
a
conditional
use,
permit
right
now
with
this
signage.
You
know
that
can
be
commercial.
F
Went
right,
the
rich,
if
you
remember
when
the
item
originally
came,
but
the
question
was:
are
there
using
the
sign
for
their
business
or
are
they
going
to
use
the
sign
that
this,
the
signs
for
other
businesses,
commercial,
yeah,
commercial,
and
so
that
was
the
issue
so
again,
I
appreciate
the
comment.
I
think
you
know.
F
Obviously
you
know
there
are
some
limits
to
what
you're
saying
that
may
be
useful
or
beneficial,
but
I
still
feel
that
that
is
it
from
primarily
residential
area
and
I
think
that
this
will
dramatically
affect
and
potentially
dramatically
affect
in
the
future.
The
the
nature
that
Street
and
the
quality
of
life
in
that
area
do
this
I
mean.
F
A
J
D
J
I'm
gonna
make
my
comment:
I
feel
that
that
we
should
grant
the
condition
just
permit
to
that
particular
area,
because
all
that
section
they're
becoming
commercial
and
even
though
it
might
be
serving
for
for
commercial
purposes,
it's
a
condition
use
permit.
That
eventually
might
be.
It
can
be
revoked
at
any
time.
But
I
believe
that
that
the
usage
of
that
that
bill
were
there
is
gonna
is
going
to
be
good
for
the
businesses
in
the
area.
J
F
You
all
remind
us:
wasn't
there
a
change
in
the
city,
ordinance
that
allowed
for
commercial
signage,
I,
guess
west
of
McPherson,
but
not
I'm,
sorry
yeah,
the
noise.
Wasn't
there
did
when
this
item
first
came.
There
was
a
discussion
about
that,
the
signage,
ordinance
and
path
that
had
been
changed,
and
this
is-
and
this
is
why
they
needed
the
CU
p
or
they
needed
they
needed
this,
because
because
it,
what
didn't
conform
with
what
what
the
city
council
had
decided
has
to
signage
on
that
side
of
McPherson
well,.
C
F
I
C
A
Okay,
we
have
a
motion
to
a
second
as
a
second
all,
those
in
favor
of
the
motion
signify
by
saying
aye
aye.
All
those
against
motion
carries
next
item.
Is
a
public
hearing
amending
the
zoning
ordinance
of
the
city
of
Laurel
by
rezoning
lot
nine
block
166
Western
Division,
located
at
1602
Victoria
Street
from
H
or
o
historic
residential
office
district
2,
CBD
community
business
district?
B
A
K
K
All
right,
so,
let's
begin
this
is
the
Phoenix
bookstore
it's
located
at
1602
Victoria.
It
is
a
historical
building
that
my
husband
and
I
went
to
purchase
back
in
October
of
2019
and
I'm.
Sorry,
eighteen
and
we
have
been
renovating
it
since
that
this
is
a
Google
Maps
satellite
view
like
you
were
seeing
previously
before
this
is
the
construction
building,
and
this
is
the
ample
parking
lot
that
we
have
in
the.
G
K
K
Us
we
are
a
new
take
on
your
traditional
bookstore.
Our
goal
is
to
create
a
space
where
the
community
can
gather
to
have
discussions
and
to
seek
out
self
development
within
books.
The
establishment
will
hold
an
integrated
coffee
shop
and
an
array
of
book
genres,
but
we'll
take
particular
pride
in
stocking
at
shelves
with
literature
written
by
Hispanic,
authors
and
or
literature
focused
on
the
life
and
struggles
of
Hispanics.
K
K
We're
gonna
have
new
and
used
books,
an
array
of
caffeinated
and
non-caffeinated
drinks
and
a
select
menu
of
pastries
to
accompany
your
hot
beverage.
Our
events
that
we
will
be
holding
will
be
book,
readings
and
book.
Signings
book
club
meetings,
poetry,
readings,
monologue,
readings
and
educational
exhibits.
Our
hours
of
operation
are
going
to
be
Sunday
through
Thursday
from
10
a.m.
to
9
p.m.
and
Friday
and
Saturday
from
10
a.m.
to
11
p.m.
K
I
do
want
to
make
a
very
clear
distinction
between
our
business
and
our
brand
future
use
to
sell
okay,
we
do
not
plan
to
make
our
establishment
a
full-blown
bar
as
the
ones
that
you
see
unequal
to
be
the
streets.
We
are
an
establishment
that
will
that
will
see
in
the
future
to
sell
a
very
limited
menu
of
all,
and
that
is
only
to
provide
a
variety
of
drinks
to
the
customer.
We
we
very
well
know
that
bookstores
have
pretty
much
run
extinct.
You
know
around
the
nation
ever
since
the
creation
of
Amazon.
K
So
in
order
to
bring
you
know,
customers
in
and
to
keep
our
stores
open,
we
want
to
provide
something
a
little
bit
different.
You
know
something
that
will
attract
the
customer
into
our
doors
and
you
know
if
we
offer
you
a
glass
of
wine
for
you
to
sit
down
some
lounge
space,
but
you
I
went
in
your
chair
with
your
book
and
enjoy
your
reading
or
enjoy
your
conversation.
That
is
what
we
see,
but
we
do
not
seek
to
provide
you
with
a
large
array
of
alcoholic
drinks.
K
D
K
J
C
L
L
D
K
To
just
to
make
sure
that
you
are
aware
our
architect
did
measure
our
park,
our
our
backyard
and
accommodate
10
vehicles
in
our
backyard
within
our
property
lines,
not
utilizing
not
utilizing
the
meters
that
do
run
around
the
entire
block
and
nearby
streets,
not
just
within
our
parking
lot.
We
have.
J
Just
make
a
quick
comment,
mr.
chairman.
Actually,
this
is
what
the
comprehensive
plan
is
all
about,
trying
to
bring
this
type
of
entertainment,
an
attraction
for
the
community
in
this
is
a
song
chain,
so
only
the
communists
that
is
not
towards
towards
the
permit,
but
even
if
they
were
required
an
additional
parking.
Some
of
the
comprehensive
climate
changes
you
know
ordinance
are
going
to
allow
for
some
parking
in
the
street,
so
I
personally
feel
that
we
could
do
that.
K
K
We
really
want
to
seek
out
this
sound
change
because
we've
been
renovating
this
building
and
it's
beautiful
it's
gorgeous
and
if
we
don't
I
can
still
open
my
establishment
as
a
bookstore.
It's
allowed,
but
I
cannot
allow
the
patrons
into
the
upstairs
area,
because
I
wouldn't
be
able
to
provide
you
enough.
Parking
and
I
really
want
the
community
to
be
able
to
walk
in
here
and
have.
G
K
A
A
M
Good
evening
gently,
my
name
is
sana
colita
and
first
I
want
to.
Thank
you
very
much
for
this
opportunity
to
allow
me
to
speak.
I
am
an
owner
of
a
property
on
1612
Houston.
It
is
a
historic
home,
it
was
built
in
1895
and
it
is
right
in
front
of
st.
Peter's
Piazza
and
that
particular
home
I
am
very,
very
sentimentally
attached
to
it.
I
was
it
is
my
childhood
home
I
was
born
in
that
house.
It
belonged
to
my
grandparents.
I
grew
up
in
the
st.
M
M
Would
like
to
oppose
this
zoning
change
based
on
2001,
it's
going
to
set
a
precedent
that
if
you
approve
this
zoning
change
that
then
how
are
you
going
to
spur
future?
It
will
significantly
change
the
the
history
of
this
beautiful
old
neighborhood.
That
is
very,
very
quiet
as
it
is.
You
know
right
now.
It
is
also
allowed
for
office
space,
their
schools
there,
st.
Peters.
M
M
You
have
seen
that
there
is
an
abundance
of
alcohol
serving
areas
in
the
downtown
and
what
a
problem
it
has
been,
not
only
the
the
nightlife,
the
traffic
that
it
generates,
but
the
type
of
people
that
go
there
in
in
the
in
the
downtown
there's
even
been
a
death
in
a
lot
of
these
alcohol
places.
I
think
that
approval
of
a
zoning
change
would
set
a
very
dangerous
precedent.
How
would
you
stop
someone
else
from
again
serving
alcohol
in
a
historic
district?
M
Think
Peters
is
a
very
significantly
and
distinctive
area
of
absolutely
some
of
the
oldest
homes
of
the
city.
It
is
one
of
the
oldest
historic
districts
of
Laredo.
There
are
old
homes
there
that
date
into
the
late
1800s.
My
home
dates
to
1895
st.
Peter's
Church
was
built
in
the
early
1900s.
The
Saint
Mary
Help
of
Christians
also
was
built
in
1935.
M
There
are
some
beautiful
architectural
beautiful
houses
there
that
the
type
of
people
that
would
come
and
I
appreciate
the
the
Honorable
lady
that
presented
her.
You
know
justification
for
a
Saudi
chain
to
do
appreciate
it,
but
I
see
it
as
a
very,
very
dangerous
thing
that
how
can
you
stop
them?
Future
alcohol
serving
locations
there?
It's
it's
a
residential
area,
it's
very
quiet.
She
stated
there
is
only
ten
spaces,
I'm
sure
she
expects
more
than
ten
customers
at
the
same
time.
I
believe
is.
M
A
N
Good
evening
horrible
commissioners,
my
wife
and
I
have
spent
four
years
restoring
that
new
home
at
1602
a
Houston.
As
was
pointed
out,
that
is
a
very,
very
historic
area.
In
fact,
I
would
guess
to
say
that
centimeters
may
be
second
only
to
San
Augustine
in
its
historic
character
and
I
think
what
is
said
is
exactly
right.
I
think
you
would
be
setting
a
very,
very
dangerous
precedent
here.
N
God
knows
that
nobody
is
against
a
bookstore
in
Laredo
Texas,
but
the
key
word
there
I
think
is
as
alcohol
and
that's
what
really
really
really
scares
me,
not
the
books,
but
the
alcohol,
as
was
pointed
out,
you've
got
a
church
within
a
block
and
a
half
you've
got
an
elementary
school.
You've
got
Jose
Valdez
high
school
you've
got
numerous
residential
areas.
Where
is
one
of
my
friends
says?
Sometimes
in
the
evening
you
can
actually
hear
the
crickets
in
the
trees.
N
Just
I
think
less
than
a
year
year
and
a
half
ago,
you
said
no
to
Gregory's
I
think
this
is
a
step
beyond
what
Gregory's
was
wanting
to
do
when
they
wanted
to
rezone
an
area
there.
I
can't
imagine
why
the
staff
would
recommend
this
I
think
there's
something
at
play
here.
That's
a
lot
more
than
than
books
and
coffee,
you
and
I
know
that
there's
no
money
in
books
and
coffee,
but
there's
a
lot
of
money
in
alcohol.
N
I
think
what
really
is
at
stake
is
not
only
the
integrity
of
that
neighborhood,
but
the
integrity
of
all
our
other
neighborhoods,
as
was
pointed
out
by
one
of
the
members
of
this
committee,
I,
think
the
owners
knew
exactly
what
they
were
purchasing
when
they
purchased
a
property
in
that
in
that
area
that
was
going
and
so
I
would
respect
fully
asked
you
to
to
deny
this
I
think
your
you
would
be
making
a
very,
very
dangerous
press
again.
Thank
you.
Thank.
O
Good
afternoon
my
name
is
maria
vinogradova
I
own,
a
piece
of
property
in
1812,
Houston
I
voted
since
1996
I
believe
it
was
built
in
1901.
I
have
very
much
enjoyed
the
tranquility
and
the
peace
of
the
neighborhood.
It's
unlike
any
other
place
in
Marino.
The
buildings
are
beautiful.
The
neighbors
well
until
recently,
they've
been
great
neighbors.
O
We've
had
an
influx
of
new
owners
in
the
area
that
now
make
a
lot
of
noise
and
just
blaring
music.
What
you've
never
had
before,
except
at
festivals,
and
that
sort
of
thing
so
I
would
like
to
know
if
this
bookstore
a
coffee
shop
place
that
sells
alcohol
plans
on
filling
the
airwaves
with
a
lot
of
music
as
well.
That's
definitely
a
consideration
I'm,
not
in
favor
of
a
zoning
change.
I
think
you
could
destroy
the
fabric
of
this
neighborhood,
which
is
largely
residential.
O
It's
just
a
beautiful,
beautiful
place
that
doesn't
need
to
be
sort
of
wrapped
up
and
changed
by
commercial
enterprises.
It
should
remain
as
it
is,
which
is
a
giant
page
in
the
history
of
the
city.
That
neighborhood
represents
a
lot
of
the
history
that
came
about
with
the
coming
of
the
railroad.
It's
it's.
It's
called
the
depot
district
and
many
of
those
homes
were
built
by
folks
who
either
financed
a
railroad
built
the
railroad.
O
E
Hello
hi,
my
name
is
Jorge
Santana
I
live
at
1814
Victoria
in
1890
Homans
in
Peters,
neighborhood
I
feel
very,
very
bad
for
the
two
young
couples
that
just
came
because
if
they
were
one
block
away,
I
will
be
there
helping
them
to
probably
paint
their
walls,
but
unfortunately
they're
in
this
in
Peters
historic
neighborhood.
We
are
not
part
of
what's
considered
downtown,
which
is
the
buildings
and
businesses.
E
This
is
a
residential
area
and
even
though
I
don't
mind
the
coffee
shop,
I,
don't
mind
the
bookstore
I'm,
a
writer
I
have
several
of
the
people
that
all
of
them
that
have
spoken
here
on
writers
too,
and
the
thing
is
the
alcohol,
because,
that's
probably
was
gonna,
be
the
most
money.
Income
thing
happening
there,
and
this
is
primarily
in
its
majority.
They
were
a
substantial
area.
The
buildings,
as
has
been
stated
before
the
businesses
that
are
there,
were
grandfathering
from
a
time
where
no
zoning
areas
were
established.
E
It's
in
the
downtown
district.
This
is
in
Peters.
If
you
look
at
the
map,
there
aren't
homes
an
apartment,
complex
on
the
back
of
homes,
that
the
rent
for
four
or
five
people
in
the
in
the
back,
there's
residences
around
it.
There
same
I
think
a
Christian
temple
right
across
from
it.
I,
don't
know.
If
I
have
a
few
questions,
if
the,
if
they
don't
change
to
CBD,
can
they
still
open
the
coffee
shop?
Mr.
E
G
H
E
That's
one
of
my
mind:
I
thinks
if
it's,
if
it's
10
parking
spaces,
I
will
think
that's
enough
for
for
coffee
shop,
I,
don't
know
about
the
requirements,
so
they
will
be
without
changing.
The
zoning
see
the
the
issues
this.
This
is
the
only
well
preserved
historic
neighborhood
in
the
rate
of
progress.
E
Some
people
confuse
it
with
changing.
They
think
that
changes
progress
well,
sometimes
it's
not.
The
charm
of
this
neighborhood
is
that
it
has
stayed
the
same
for
a
very
long
time,
the
plaza
the
plaza
that's
only
a
block
away
hasn't
changed
in
more
than
a
hundred
years.
That's
the
charm
of
our
area.
We
are
a
little
bit
scared
of
the
alcohol
part
honestly,
because
we
do
see
what
happens
at
cultura,
which
is
it
spreads
blocks
and
blocks
from
it,
which
is
okay,
because
it
happens
in
another
part
of
the
area
that
it
doesn't
affect
us.
E
But
we
do
have
a
issue
with
with
what
the
alcohol
part
I
think.
That's
that's
pretty
much
it
if
they
would
have
taken
it
out
and
asked
for
a
conditional
use
permit,
not
a
full
song
change
conditional,
meaning
that
when
they
leave,
if
they
hopefully,
hopefully
not,
that
it
reverts
back
to
to
the
original
Sony.
So,
unfortunately,
because
of
the
because
of
the
alcohol
because
of
the
the
it's
not
conditional,
this
permit
right
know.
C
E
P
A
A
A
C
C
G
C
C
A
F
C
Correct
it
is
it
does
it
does,
because
it
is
not
the
primary
you.
We
don't
have
any
any
reason
to
doubt
that
the
primary
use
is
gonna,
be
the
bookstore.
The
coffee
shop
and
the
alcohol
sales
are
subordinate
to
that.
If
and
they'll
be
monitored,
they'll
have
monitoring
from
PA
BC
and
once
they
surpass
the
51%
sales
of
alcohol,
then
that'll
change,
but
if
they
sell
their
sales
are
51%
books
that.
F
F
K
Yes,
I
do
want
to
make
the
entire
home
accessible
to
the
public
so
that
they
can
see
how
the
poem
has
been
restored,
and
you
know
it's
a
home
that
was
near
demolition
when
we
stumbled
across
it,
it
had
no
more
roof.
The
second
floor
had
disintegrated
because
all
these
elements
of
nature
fell
in
so
all
we
had
when
we
purchased
it
or
the
basic
four
walls
of
the
construction
and
from
there
we
returned
it
to
you,
know
a
habitable
building,
and
we
do
really
want
to
share
that
with
the
community.
K
You
know:
we've
been
hearing
a
lot
of
talk
about
how
the
downtown
everybody's
saying
revitalize
and
revitalize
it
not
only
revitalize
it,
but
let
us
see
it.
Let
us,
you
know,
sit
there
and
enjoy
the
same
splendor
that
the
residents
you
know
that
live
in
that
neighborhood
get
to
enjoy
it.
The
community
wants
to
go
in
there
and
see
those
same
beauties.
F
Let
me
ask
you
this
question:
see
here's
the
the
tension.
I
think
the
tension
is
the
the
people
that
have
spoken
and
and
I
actually
know
several
of
them
personally,
they're
very
progressive
people,
and
so,
if
they're
coming
out
against
it,
then
I
you
know
it's
like
well.
Why
are
they
coming
out
against
it
right?
So
what
I
think
their
concern
is
just
from
what
I'm
listening
is.
F
That
they
don't
want
it
to
become
like
just
like
a
full
bar
I
think
they're
worried
about
drunken
people
on
the
street
screaming
yelling.
You
know
all
ours
and
I
think
that's
what
they're
concerned
I
think
you're
concerned
about
blaring,
music
and
things
that
are
okay,
so
my
question
to
you
would
be
and
I
think
that
we
can
do
a
seat.
I
mean
I've,
never
understood
that
about
the
CP
and
I've.
Never
understand
understood
how
you
write
as
you
pee,
but
it's
basically,
they
have
to
comply
with
the
ordinance.
F
C
In
fact,
the
the
Cu
P
has
some
some
language
that
says
it
cannot
be
used
as
a
variance
mechanism.
What
it
is
is
simply
a
mechanism
to
allow
for
use-
that's
not
permitted
in
the
in
the
original
zone
without
changing
his
own.
It's
just
an
overlay,
but
it
was
never
intended
to
provide
a
mechanism
for
variance
to
the
rest
of
the
required.
F
Right
but
it
isn't
functional
right,
it
isn't
function
right
because,
in
other
words
nodes,
if
we
see
cuz
I
because
now
on
their
side,
see
the
thing
that
I
like
about
the
project.
Is
that
it's
a
great
project
right,
but
then
they
get
that
they
get
the
zone
change
and
then,
in
a
year
from
now,
they
figure
out
that
it's
not
a
profitable
project
for
them,
and
so
they
leave
they
sell
the
building.
And
then
someone
comes
in
who
doesn't
want
a
bookstore,
isn't
trying
to
create
a
cultural?
F
F
So
what
I'm
saying
is
why
don't
we
do
a
CEP
allowing
them
the
parking
difference,
so
that
there
is
some
level
of
control
as
to
this
project?
In
other
words,
that
we
approve
essentially
the
project
which
were
to
try
to
control
exactly
I'm
trying
to
control
the
situation
that
would
occur
if
they
were
to
decide
to
sell
the
building,
and
then
some
new
owner
comes
in
and
doesn't
respect
the
community.
F
Would
it
make
more
sense
to
say
why
don't
we
approve
the
project
by
coming
up
with
a
CEP
that
allows
them
to
have
the
parking
requirement
lowered
so
that
they
can
make
it
with
that
parking
space
because
it
falls
within
what
we're
trying
to
do
with
the
comp
plan,
which
is
we're
trying
to
do
off-site
problem
parking?
It's
downtown,
it's
near
downtown.
You
know
it's
quality
of
life,
it's
you
know,
because
the
argument
I
mean,
let
me
say
the
argument
against
the
property
owners.
F
In
my
view,
is
simply
you
know,
they're
opening
up
a
historical
home
to
the
entire
city
of
Laredo
I
mean
you
know
how
many
Laredo
ones
do
not
get
to
enjoy
a
city
to
see
a
building
like
that.
You
know,
I
mean
you
know,
that's
where
you
you
are.
Our
struggle
is
between
the
needs
of
the
homeowners
versus
the
the
quality
of
life,
of
the
grant,
render
group
and
City,
and
that's
part
of
what
our
comprehensive
plan
is
about.
F
C
To
be
clear,
you're
correct:
if,
for
some
reason
they
would
sell
the
property
they
could
the
succeeding
property
owner
could
use
it
for
any
use.
It
is
allowed
under
the
ordinance
under
the
new
zone.
However,
for
a
bar
I
know
you
mentioned
a
bar:
a
bar
would
not
be
allowed,
it
is
allowed
only
with
the
issuance
of
a
special
use
permit,
so
they
would
have
to
come
back
boom.
We
have
four
I
would
have
to
come
back
and
petition
the.
C
D
Okay,
so
these
are
the
tab.
This
is
the
same
concern
similar
concerns
of
what
I
have
heard
up
with
neighborhood
and
downtown
revitalization
issues.
It
happened
in
Austin
when
they
are
trying
to
revitalize
the
East
Side.
It
happened
in
Denver
and
I've,
been
in
Brooklyn
and
all
those
have
been
successful
projects.
So,
if
we're
here
promoting
comprehensive
plan
because
you
preach
through
the
Comprehensive
Plan
but
I
take
a
Bible.
Thank
you,
okay.
D
So
this
is
you
have
an
investor
is
willing
to
invest
in
the
community
and
wanted
to
keep
restore
and
keep
the
aesthetics
of
the
building
and
then
offer
a
service
at
a
library
close
to
the
school.
The
alcohol
is
governed,
but
that's
GBC
design
ethic
has
suffered
at
the
free
will
carry,
but
that
the
idea,
if
they
don't
Aidid
their
loser,
license
and
they're.
Those
are
business
and
I've
been
in
bar
business.
D
A
E
E
Development,
that's
what
it's
called
progress
by.
What
if
next
year
at
home,
somebody
changed
the
zone
to
full
commercial
and
you
weren't
in
control
and
what
happened
to
it?
You
wouldn't
be
too
so
happy
about
it.
It's
the
same
thing.
That's
gonna
happen
here
in
st.
Peter's.
Slowly,
but
slowly
it's
gonna
get
done
it.
You
know
with
commercial
uses
everywhere
and
we
won't
have
control
over
what
happens.
E
Yes,
alcohol
and
a
bar
cannot
happen
unless
certain
conditions,
but
will
you
wanna
whatever
falls
within
CVD,
which
is
a
long
list
of
businesses
and
that
will
slowly
start
to
eat
off
st.
Peters
and,
as
I
mentioned
before,
st.
Peters
is
not
I.
Don't
consider
some
Peters
to
be
the
business
is
indeed
the
downtown
bars
and
restaurants.
We
are
primarily
a
residential
neighborhood.
Yes,
there
are
few
buildings
are
empty,
but
not
everything.
We
have
a
lot
of
neighbors
a
lot
of
homes
where
an
active
neighborhood
is
not
like
were
abandoned
in
need
of
River
revitalization.
F
But
you
could
understand
also
that
revitalization
is
not
just
you
know
it's
the
when
we're
talking
about
revitalization
there's,
not
just
the
stakeholder
of
the
landowners
in
the
neighborhood,
the
stakeholders
are
the
entire
city.
You
know
it's.
We
have
multiple
stakeholders,
yes,
and
our
job
in
this
commission
is
to
balance
the
needs
of
private
landowners
versus
the
needs
of
the
larger
community
right,
and
that's
why
the
City
Council
adopted
the
comprehensive
plan
and
that's
basically
what's
guiding
this
conversation
right
now.
To
be
quite
honest,.
F
E
I
agree
with
what
you
said:
I
agree
totally
I
think
a
conditional
premise
is
required
and
that's
what
will
benefit
sim
Peters
a
full-blown
zone
change
will
be
the
first
time
it
happens
in
st.
Peter's.
It
will
be
the
first
time
it
happens.
It
has
to
never
happen,
other
businesses
have
come
and
they
have
used
a
conditional
use
permit.
There
is
Casa
Lopez
that
has
no
parking.
They
were
given
a
conditional
use
permit,
so
people
can
park
on
the
streets
and
they
have
been
very
successful.
N
I
know
you've
got
better
better
things
to
do
than
smooth
mr.
Flores
and
mr.
Godley
I
would
also
invite
you
and
the
other
commissioners,
of
course,
to
visit
that
neighborhood.
You've
already
got
two
operations
there
that
are
basically
operating
businesses
that
are
clearly
in
violation
of
the
ordinances
where
you've
got
loud,
music,
there's
alcohol
being
consumed.
N
The
whole
neighborhood
is
basically
being
ruined
by
a
couple
of
historical
preservations
that
were
done
there,
but
are
now
becoming
party
houses
and
and
you've
had
one
kidnapping,
for
example,
within
a
half
a
block
of
Sam
that
whole
neighborhood
is
being
changed.
Unless
something
is,
is
radically
done.
There's
a
big
difference
between
sixth
Street
in
Austin
and
residential
areas
in
East,
East,
Austin
or
downtown.
N
The
French
Quarter
and
residential
areas
of
New
Orleans
are
Brooklyn
for
that
matter.
I've
seen
the
restorations
in
Denver
they're,
not
mixing
commercial
areas
with
residential
areas
in
allowing
alcohol
to
be
served
in
in
residential
areas.
I
think
that
there's
a
little
bit
of
misleading
information-
that's
going
on
here,
but
I
really
really
think
you
all
have
already
said.
No
to
one
group.
They
wanted
to
operate
a
business
I,
don't
know
how
you
can
all
of
a
sudden
say
yes
to
another.
F
F
Ugliness
of
the
sign,
it's
gonna
basically
ruin
the
character
of
that
street.
That's
that's
my
view,
as
opposed
to
the
light
of
the
books.
The
bookstore
here,
which
I
think
is
going
to
create
quality
of
life
not
only
for
the
residents
in
the
entire
city,
but
also
for
the
residents
in
your
neighborhood.
Now
I
understand
your
concerns.
Oh
I
know
I
get
it
I
get
it.
F
The
point
is
that
you
want
like
this
is
a
good
project
and
you
want
to
say,
okay
well,
this
project
is
a
good
project,
we're
willing
to
limit
it
to
this
project
and
and
and
and
and
and
but
if
it
doesn't
work,
we
don't
want.
Someone
else
to
come
in
who's
got
some
terrible
idea,
and
then
that
would
change
the
character.
F
Then
he
would
kind
of
like
the
examples
you
gave
about
these
other
businesses
that
I
don't
know
which
ones
you're
talking
about,
but
it
seems
like
they're
there
they're
serious
offenders,
I
I,
don't
see
a
bookstore
with
some
wine
and
beer.
You
know
and
sandwiches
being
you
know
this
terrible
thing.
Iii
know
that
the
Rockets
and
D
s-
parents
and
she
used
to
own
a
little
cafe
I
think
was
on
Houston
Street.
You
know
and
I
don't
know
if
it
was.
F
Anyone
was
opposed
to
that
particular
project,
but
but
I
would
imagine
that
sometimes
she
had,
you
know,
poetry,
readings
and
things.
I
think
that's
what
they're
envisioning
and
so
I
didn't
to
me
like
I,
just
think
like,
like
that's
what
I
think
that's
what
I
feel
like
the
comprehensive
plan
is
in
this
fight
has
been
about.
It's
been
about
that
we,
the
City
of
Laredo,
can
have
cultural
centers,
like
other
cities,
have
cultural,
similar.
N
F
G
Q
Just
want
to
address
a
couple
things:
I
live
in
the
neighborhood.
Let
me
have
your
name
for
the
record.
Please
robot
the
ones
on
us
all:
right,
I,
own
two
properties
on
Houston
Street,
on
1802,
1807
and
1714,
okay,
I
think
one
of
the
business
he's
referring
to
is
a
probably
mine,
I'm,
the
direito
mansion
I'm
running
a
bed-and-breakfast.
How
it's?
How
would
certain
legal
business
I
have?
No
idea?
We
don't
operate
with
loud
music
I
am
aware
of
what
he
was
talking
about.
There's
a
situation
recently.
Q
It
happened
with
a
lot
of
music,
a
party
with
loud
music,
and
it
wasn't
out.
It
was
a
family
party.
It
wasn't,
it
wasn't
a
bar
situation.
It
wasn't
a
situation
where
I
was
at
hand.
I
lived
right
across
the
street.
I
saw
it
happen.
It
was
now
I
told
the
neighbor,
my
neighbor.
He
should
have
kept
it
a
little
bit
over
but
I'm
for
it.
I'm
off
with
this
project.
I,
don't
think
you
should
give
him
a
conditional
use.
Permit
I
think
you
should
go
ahead
and
change
the
zoning
out
right.
Q
I,
don't
think
it's
fair
to
an
investor.
That's
gonna!
Put
all
his
money
just
to
get
a
conditional
use
permit
like
I,
said
no
visit,
I
think
it's
unfair
to
Casa
Lopez
that
he
only
has
a
conditional
use.
He
spent
so
much
money
and
this
place
is
awesome
and
looks
great
and
it's
a
huge
plus
for
the
neighborhood
and
it's
a
conditional
use
permit
I
feel
bad
for
I,
wouldn't
have
done
it
personally.
I
would
have
left
it
on
an
abandoned
building
like
a
lot
of
like
we
have.
Q
Q
On
Houston
Street,
you
can
go
up
other
of
the
streets
and
count
more
right,
but
we
have
a
lot
of
vacant
abandoned
buildings
that
are
going
down
the
drain,
and
this
has
been
going
on
for
30
40
years,
the
homeowners
in
Laredo
haven't
taken
it
upon
themselves
to
revive
these
homes
as
homes
and
that's
the
truth
about
it.
There
hasn't
been
enough
of
us
I'm
one
of
them.
I
love
the
area,
I've
respected
it,
I've
done
it.
Q
According
to
all
the
permits
say
about
all
the
historical
permits,
I
did
according
to
the
law
and
I
love.
My
neighborhood,
but
I
want
to
see
change.
I,
don't
think
we
should
allow
these
buildings
of
state
vacant
because
people
won't
invest
in
them.
Because
of
these
restrictions
that
we're
talking
about
these
restrictions
that
we're
talking
about
will
not
bring
investors,
they
will
push
away.
Investors
and
I
mean
I
think
they
should
absolutely
should
be
regulated.
Q
I,
don't
want
a
bar
next
to
me,
I
think
that
is
number
one,
but
he
mentioned
sixth
Street
and
he
mentioned
Bourbon
Street.
You
don't
want
that.
We
want
the
French
Quarter
and
we
don't
want
that
either.
What
we
want
is
a
Garden
District,
but
you
know
what
they
have
Commander's
Palace,
which
is
an
amazing
restaurant.
They
have
upper
line,
which
is
an
amazing
restaurant
right
in
between
the
homes
which
it
could
happen.
Q
We
want
it
to
keep
it
as
a
residential
scene
sprinkling
some
great
businesses
like
they're
trying
to
do
you
mean
we
should
if
I
could
say
this,
you
guys
should
give
them
whatever
they
need
for
parking,
because
it's
downtown
I
mean
that's
an
issue
for
us.
It's
just.
We
don't
have
parking.
Okay,
it's
not
downtown,
it's
an
historic
area,
but
we
don't
have
parking
lots.
We
don't
have
parking
areas,
I
mean
we
can't
just
build
a
parking
garage
in
our
place.
We
can't
just
build
a
driveway.
Q
A
H
Mendel
means,
with
a
rate
of
our
department,
I
just
want
to
make
a
comment:
it's
not
so
much
a
comment.
I
guess,
just
a
recommendation.
I,
don't
know
the
owners
have
had
the
opportunity
to
sit
down
with
the
fire
department
of
the
building
department
and
the
only
reason
I'm.
Bringing
this
up
is
because
this
and
remember
I,
don't
have
all
the
specifics.
H
I
don't
have
the
the
size,
the
the
square
footage
from
the
construction
type,
the
layout
of
the
building,
but
I
just
would
recommend
them
to
sit
down
with
the
city
of
the
radome,
so
they
can
kind
of
see
what
they're
trying
to
do
there,
because
in
this
instance
it's
a
change
of
use.
This
used
to
be
a
residential
occupancy
and
now
they're
gonna
switch
it
to
an
8-3,
and
when
you
make
that
transition
the
building
wasn't
originally
designed.
For
that
you,
you
run
into
some
issues,
issues
with
exits.
H
Are
they
going
to
need
to
stairwells
from
the
second
floor?
Usually
an
8-3,
if
you
have
it
on
a
second
floor,
actually
requires
a
sprinkler
system.
But
there's
there's
there's
existing
building
code
that
you
can
look
in
to
see
what
their
specifics
are,
but
I
do
recommend
that
they
said
now,
because
if
they
don't
there's
a
possibility
that
they
do
all
this
work
and
then
once
they
get
to
the
very
end
they
come
and
they
come
in.
H
If
there
are
new
business
form
and
then
when
building
or
fire
shows
up,
then
they
say
well,
you
know
what
we
encountered
all
these
problems
and
they
put
the
whole
project
on
on
hold
so
I'm
just
recommending
they
sit
down
with
the
city
now,
so
they
can
kind
of
go
over
it
iron
out
any
any
any
issues
you
might
have,
even
maybe
even
point
them
in
the
right
direction
to
what
they
can
do.
So
it
can
help
if
this
does
go
through,
make
it
a
smoother
transition.
K
A
He
is
correct,
the
the
use
was
residential
and
now
is
going
more
to
commercial
use.
The
fire
code
has
certain
specific
things
that
are
required
of
the
building,
and
he
mentioned
a
couple
of
secondary
exits.
Second-Story
requires
you
know
one
or
two
stairways
fire
exits,
so
there's
some
other
issues
and
even
a
fire
sprinkler
system
based
on
square
footage.
It
could
yeah
on
the
second
floor.
So
these
are
you
know,
issues
that
really
need
to
be
addressed.
A
K
H
Actually,
that's
that's
what
I'm
stating
the
earlier
the
the
sooner
you
go,
the
better
because
he
you're
starting
to
finish
out
the
interior,
but
if
there's
something
some
changes,
you
need
to
do
you
put
up
all
that
sheetrock
and
you
might
actually
have
to
tear
it
up
to
add
another
exit.
So
I,
don't
think
the
sooner
you
can
go
before
you
make
any
more
changes.
The
better
would
be
the
earlier
in
the
stage,
the
better.
If.
K
No,
that
is
why
we've
been
holding
up
because
we've
been
first
making
sure
we
pass
our
plumbing
and
permit
the
building
didn't
have
any
electrical
when
we
purchased
it.
It
didn't
have
any
plumbing.
We've
had
to
hire
personnel
to
install
all
those
elements
back
into
the
home,
but
we
really
wouldn't
want
to
table
it.
We
will
address
it
that.
A
E
A
N
There
is
a
serious,
serious
problem
down
there
that
came
about
with
lis.
D
is
abandoning
these
buildings
and
you've
got
what
the
Historical
Preservation
calls
demolition
by
neglect.
So
there
is
a
serious
problem,
as
was
being
explained
with
a
lot
of
abandoned
buildings
there
that
are
simply
owned
by
Elias
T,
but
not
being
maintained.
It's
a
problem
all.
A
F
F
In
terms
of
the
drinking
and
all
of
that,
but
you
know
it
would
be
an
opportunity
to
be
able
to
if
the
project
doesn't
work
and
I
hope
that
what's
it's
a
wonderful
project,
I
really
really
hope
it
works.
You
know
that
we
could.
You
could
look
at
that.
We
could
look
at
the
parking
issue
again
later
as
a
way
of
figuring
out
what
the
next
project
on
that
building
would
be.
F
I,
don't
know,
that's
I
feel
like
that,
and
that
I
feel
like
that
would
give
the
the
the
the
property
owners
some
some
degree
of
comfort
and
it
would
be
a
win-win
because
they
still
get
to
use.
It
probably
get
to
still
do
their
project
and
in
the
end,
the
property
owners
feel
that
there
is
at
one
layer
of
protection
that
they're
asking
for
I
feel
like
it's
a
good
compromise.
You
know
and
I
feel
like
like.
If
you
were
to
give
that
compromise,
I
feel
like
the
property
owners
around.
F
J
G
J
J
I
think
they
have
a
very
unique
situation
here,
where
we
have
a
historical
district
with
some
of
the
residents
being
against
the
song
change,
and
we
have
an
investor
that
it's
a
lot
of
money
into
it,
which
and
then
we
have
the
fire
department
that
that
just
gave
us
a
good
lecture
on
to
us
to
what's
gonna
happen
once
we
turned
this
into
a
commercial
being,
as
it
is
right
now,
mr.
chairman,
they
don't
have
to
worry
about
that.
J
Yet
see,
I
believe
that
if
they
come
back
with
a
conditional
use,
permit
a
lot
of
the
issues
will
be
removed.
I
think
the
feelings
in
between
the
residents
and
the
new
owners
are
gonna
are
going
to
be
more
positive
and
and
I
think
it's
to
the
advantage
of
the
best
room
to
go
through
the
conditions.
Yeah.
G
D
A
A
The
next
item
that
we
have
is
a
public
hearing
amending
the
zoning
ordinance
of
the
city
of
Laredo
by
rezoning
the
West
one
half
of
Lot
seven
block
355
Eastern
Division,
located
at
417
East
Broad
Street
from
r3
to
beat
one.
This
is
a
public
hearing
and
I
do
have
one
individual
who
wants
to
speak
in
favor,
klaudia,
organ
organ.
R
Okay,
so
I
really
needed
to
be
changed
because,
according
to
licensure,
you
know
how
we
have
our
office
built
in
and
our
licensure
is
approved
and
stuff.
We
do
have
to
have
it
be
one,
so
this
building
would
actually
be
an
extension
from
what
we
currently
have
as
I've
been
there
for
on
on
training
29:19
Springfield
up
in
there
for
almost
ten
years
already,
it's
very.
R
M
A
D
A
You
second
and
the
second
all
those
in
favor
aye.
Those
opposed
motion
carries.
Thank
you.
The
next
item
that
we
have
is
item
amending
the
zoning
ordinance
of
the
city
of
Rado
by
rezoning
lot,
11
block
11
11
subdivision
located
at
51,
16
Kaleo
drive
from
r1
MH
to
r2
I
do
have
one
speaker
on
this
race.
Mr.
G
C
C
S
C
D
T
C
S
S
I
S
Very
interesting,
I'd
suspect,
I
know
who
was
it
that
brought
it
to
your
attention?
It's
the
same
folks
that
developed
all
the
area
around
and
I
I
would
like
to
see
why
they
didn't
challenge
the
other
existing
apartments
that
are
there,
there's
one
to
be
exact
at
46:32
Heights
and
which
is
not
even
half
a
mile
away
that
part
of
the
same
place.
U
S
S
I
It
potentially
could
fix
that.
The
issue
of
the
issue
with
with
with
the
Model
Rules,
is
one
of
the
requirements
that
the
state
is
looking
at.
Is
that
when
you
have
these
newer
subdivisions,
they
want
to
certify
that
the
capacity
and
the
entire
subdivision
can
be
served
with
water
in
store
for
30
years,
so
this
subdivision
was
designed
for
the
very
capacity
of
single-family
dwellings
throughout
all
the
Lots
by
introducing
additional
dwellings.
You
are
therefore
increasing
the
water
demand,
as
well
as
a
sewer
demand.
F
A
A
But
if
we
need
to
table
it
right
now,
because
that's
that's
what
has
to
be
verified
that
there
is
capacity
on
the
lines
that
exist
for
sewer
and
for
water
I
know
the
sewer
was
a
big
issue
back
then
in
that
area
it
was
I'm
talking
about
a
few
ten
years
ago
or
whatever,
but
I
think
there's
been
some
upgrades
that
may
be
able
to
resolve
what
you
want
to
do.
Okay,
but
we
need
to
at
this
point
table
it
until
those
issues
can
be
get.
J
J
In
the
reason
I
asked
the
Chairman
chairman
Issa.
We
have
somebody
that
is
coming
before
us
without
any
notice
that
this
is
is
going
to
be
tabled
and
in
that
area
it's
it's
it's
common
knowledge,
then
there's
a
bunch
of
duplexes
and
apartments
in
that
area.
It's
a
what
I
didn't
know
we
designed
and
would
we
be
creating
a
discrimination
for
this
particular
person.
A
Well,
at
this
point,
we've
been
notified
that
there
is
a
plat
requirement.
Okay
and
since
I've
already
notified
is
that
there
is
a
plant
requirement
that
says
that
it's
got
to
be
single-family,
then,
at
this
point,
what
we're
trying
to
do
is
we're
trying
to
just
kind
of
get
through
this
thing,
so
that
everybody
is
on
the
same.
You
know
legal
grounds
where
there's
no
problems,
yes,
Edie
and
just
buy
some
time
to
work
it
out.
That's
all
this
is
I
understand.
S
What
what
the
point
is
and
just
to
echo
what
mr.
Dominguez
is
saying
you
know
it
sure
would
seem
to
me
that
I'm
being
here,
just
barely
treated
when
I
have
here
before
me
at
least
two
instances
of
where
they
were
loud.
It's
been
allowed
and
they
have
in
the
case
of
46:32,
quite
say
and
there's
four
apartments
that
I
would
say:
we'd
also
strain
the
sewage
sewage
system
on
that
area,
which
is
identical
for
the
one
that
I
proposed
and
then
there's
one
that
47:12
sunrise
and
there's
four
apartments
there
as
well.
I.
S
S
F
S
S
C
G
D
C
C
A
Well,
I
think,
in
light
of
the
fact
that
there
was
no
notification,
timely
I
think
I
will
continue
with
a
process
for
this
particular
public
hearing.
Our
recommendation
is
just
after
the
City
Council,
the
City
Council
had
final
approval
and
rather
than
delay.
It
will
give
you
time
because
it
will
take
about
two
weeks
to
get
the
City
Council
to
iron
out
any
issues
and
it
will
not
delay
the
applicant
from
going
forth.
So
I
will
continue
with
this
public
hearing.
Does
anybody
else
have
any
questions
for
mr.
Reyes
unavoidable
questions?
No!
Yes
thank.
N
G
A
J
Go
hit
it
now
and
ask
them
to
close
the
public
hearing
and
actually
follow
stub
recommendations.
Mr.
chairman,
the
way
were
brought
to
us
to
approve
look
idea.
They
got
the
song
change.
One
of
the
reasons
that
I'm
doing
it
is
that,
because
my
big
political
correct,
we
have
been
noted
that
that
there's
a
a
a
note
on
the
plaque,
but
he
would
it
wasn't
brought
to
us
before.
So
what
we
have
here,
it's
a
recommendation.
That's.
A
Is
public
hearing
amending
the

Are
there
any

A
T
A
Is
highway
359
right?
Yes,
what
is
it
next?
Please
come
on:
what's
they're
all
making
around?
What's
the
closest
business
to
it
and
I'm
trying
to
read
the
streets,
it's
a
Ranch,
Road,
Ranch,
Road
or
what's
across
the
street,
from
it
across
the
street.
That's
just
to
give
me
some
various
where
we're
at,
because
I
really
can't
figure
it
out
from
this
man.
Do
you
know
Rudy
by
any
chance.
B
A
A
V
The
reason
we're
here
is
the
property
here
talking
about
is
was
resident.
It
is
residential.
It
is
a
family
owned
area
that
one
lot
was
sold
it's
less
than
a
lot
an
acre,
but
for
over
forty
years
it's
been
family
owned.
It's
been
under
the
governor
who
your
family,
the
road.
There
you
go
there,
it
see,
seven
are
gone
when
I
rode,
okay,
so
it's
privately
owned
that
Street
is
privately
owned.
V
I
know
there
was
a
comment
before
the
meeting
started,
that
texture
has
Rosalyn
my
family,
my
father,
my
brother,
my
uncle
myself
have
made
that
road.
We
worked
on
their
road,
we
put
out
each
on
the
road
every
time,
there's
something
since
this
gentleman
bought
this
property
from
on
previous
owner.
Its
I
know
the
comments
from
the
staff
was,
it
won't
impact
conditions
it
has.
In
the
last
two
months,
our
road
has
been
covered
with
tractor
trailers,
tractors,
trucks.
V
We
have
to
go
around
and
you
know
how
to
ask
them
politely
to
Pease
move,
because
it
is
a
private
road.
We
maintain
that
road,
so
their
property
in
order
for
them
to
get
to
their
property.
They
have
to
drive
into
that
private
road
and
then
turn
in
our
problem
is,
is
that
we
would
want
to
maintain
it
as
a
private
road,
and
that
area
is
a
private.
Once
you
turn
that
into
commercial,
it's
no
longer
gonna
be
our
residential,
because
we
are
its
quiet
area.
We
have
60,
we
have
30
acres
there.
V
All
my
family
owns
that,
except
for
that
one
little
piece.
We
want
to
maintain
that
yes,
I
know
he's
saying:
there's
some
businesses
around
the
area,
but
that
square
it
was
it's
all
residential.
My
father
has
maintained
it
and
he's
come
every
time
and
he's
done
everything
it
was
necessary
at
the
time
to
make
it
and
keep
it
that
way.
I
know
they
say
it
won't
impact,
and
you
know
the
property
contains.
Yes,
there
is
a
saltwater
disposal
across
the
highway.
Yes,
there
is
a
Industrial
Park.
Bobcat
is
one
of
them.
V
V
V
P
A
V
P
Get
it
we'd
like
to
keep
it
residential
because
there
is
a
potential
residential
property
in
the
back
and
it
is
growing
we're
seeing
Midtown
developing
behind
an
industrial
park
and
it's
not
going
to
be
easy
access.
This
in
Central
Road
will
be
easy
access
to
any
future
development
that
would
be
residential
in
the
future,
which
is
the
potential
for
our
city
growth
and
it
is
growing
eastward.
You
have
middle
schools
elementary
schools.
Building
out
in
that
area
you
meet.
We
will
need
residential.
He.
G
A
A
I
You
know
if
I
may
I
don't
mind
writing
for
the
record
under
the
model
rules
for
residential.
It
has
to
be
a
minimum
of
one
acre.
So
in
this
particular
case
they
would
be
allowed
to
have
the
septic,
but
there
is
there
has
to
be
a
plátano
on
not
it
would
be
not
being
resident,
for
that
is
pretty
strict.
It
would
have
be
strictly.
A
T
G
F
Right,
Thank,
You,
chair,
look
what
what
concern?
What
consideration
do
we
take
into
thought
when
we're
thinking
about
like
pollution
from
let's
say
the
types
of
machinery
that's
going
to
be
sold
there?
The
kinds
of
those
that
are
gonna
come
to
pick
it
up,
you
know
is
if
it's
still
close
to
two
homes.
Is
there
some?
Is
that
something
that
we
look
at
in
terms
of
environmental.
C
Issues
we
always
want
to
take
into
account
any
sort
of
offensive
or
negative
impacts.
That
would,
you
know
happen
to
our
surrounding
area.
In
this
case,
the
proposed
use
was
cited
as
commercial,
so
we
don't
have.
We
didn't
have
the
specific
proposed
to
use
whether
you
know
what
was
just
mentioned
here
was
the
first
time
we've
heard
that
so
all
we
have
before
us
is
when
we
consider
would
before
would
we
support
them
before
and
all
of
its
potential
uses
at
this
location
we
looked
at
it
as
being
an
A
Highway.
F
Twenty-Five
years
ago,
right,
you
know,
and
with
the
cost
of
housing,
in
the
way
that
the
city's
developing
and
the
points
that
she's
made
about
the
schools
that
have
been
built
around
there
I
mean
one
can
say
that
there
is
going
to
be
development
direction
at
some
point,
that's
gonna
be
residential.
You
know
so
I
mean
I.
Think
like
we
need
to
be
guided
by
what
we
have
in
front
of
us
and
I.
Think
that's
the
comp
plan
and
I
think
that
the
comp
plan
is
saying
you
know
what
did
you
say
was
look.
C
F
B
A
You
need
to
look
at
you've,
got
a
state
highway
right
in
front
of
it.
Okay,
yeah,
you've,
gotta!
Let
it
play,
but
I
weigh
359.
It's
it's.
You
know
normally
a
zone
that
takes
a
commercial
zone.
You
know
because
it
is
a
very
heavily
traveled
and
you
don't
want
to
put
residential,
usually
right
next
to
where
there's
gonna
be
a
lot
of
noise.
Okay,
so
you
know
their
recommendation
in
terms
of
what
they're
proposing
and
it's
it's
like.
A
F
F
A
F
A
Starbucks,
okay,
Marshall,
look
at
highway
359,
you
do
have
down
the
road.
There
is
a
rental
property
that
does
heavy
machinery
work.
Okay,
there
is
all
kinds
of
different
uses
that
sort
of
support
something
similar
under
development
and
I'm.
Talking
about
the
development
pattern
of
the
area,
that's
what
I'm
talking
about.
If
you
look
at
what
it
in
the
development
pattern
of
that
area,
is
the
frontage
of
that
highway
is
more
in
line
for
commercial?
A
V
A
What
I'm
saying
in
the
entrance
I
mean?
Basically
it's
it's
your.
If
it's
your
private
road,
you
can
get
it
the
end
of
that.
You
know
nobody
can
go
in
other
than
who
you
allow
okay
and
because
it
is
a
you
know,
big
road.
You
can
also
offset
your
your
gate
so
that
you
can
come
in
and
then
have
it
open
or
whatever
you
know,
I
mean,
but
that's
it
you
can.
You
can
close
off
your
own
private
property.
I
F
A
V
V
C
V
Sorry,
you're
right,
you're,
right,
you're
right
right
now
you
say:
there's
a
lot
of
noise
and
honor.
There's
nothing!
You
gonna
hear
anything
in
our
area
where
we
will
we
do
now,
because
what
they're
doing
so,
I
I,
understand
and
I
know
you
all.
You
all
have
your
notes
where
it
says
you
all
support
it,
but
I'm
asking
you
please
I'm
asking
you:
this
is
a
family
area
where
my
kids
and
I
I
was
there
some
four
years
old,
my
uncle's,
a
man
my
dad
died.
I
I
D
P
D
A
W
There's
a
mr.
Commissioner
mr.
chairman
members
of
the
Commission
and
ragazza
I'm,
not
here
to
speak
in
favor
or
against
I'm
here
to
speak,
because
I
used
to
be
the
engineer
for
the
guy
one
of
brothers
and
I
just
want
to
give
you
some
more
information
to
help.
You
make
a
better
decision
about
eight
years
ago,
when
I
was
approached
by
the
fathers
of
these
young,
ladies
and
I
was
asked
to
to
legalize
their
homes.
Those
are
the
two
properties.
W
W
The
issue
in
those
days
about
8
years
ago
we
were
planning
land
was
that
we
had
a
private
road
and
during
the
planning
process,
the
engineering
department
was
requiring
us
to
pave
that
road
and
convert
into
a
public
street.
The
cost
was
so
exorbitant
at
that
time
that
my
clients
decided
that
they
could
no
longer
pursue
it.
So
what
we
did
is
we
try
to
get
creative.
W
We
created
a
flag
lot
on
both
sides
to
incorporate
the
home
and
the
side
lot
on
either
side
on
the
left
side
of
that
red
box,
and
then
we
went
across
the
street
and
did
the
same
thing
on
the
right
hand.
Side.
So
imagine
a
flag
lot,
fronting
a
state
highway.
So
what
that
did?
Is
it
addressed
access
to
a
paved
public
street?
W
To
turn
it
into
a
public
street
clients
could
not
do
that
they're.
Both
retired
gentleman
did
not
have
the
resources
financially
to
do
that,
so
the
plat
went
away.
We
did
go
through
the
process
of
preliminary
cool.
We
were
on
the
verge
of
final
plan
approval
when
all
this
occurred.
The
intent
at
that
time
was
these
two
gentlemen
wanted
to
legalize
their
property,
so
that
someday
they
could
convey
to
their
children
when
they
were
passed.
W
Those
Platts
still
exist
in
my
computer
server,
but
they're
just
that
pieces
of
paper.
This
little
property
does
not
exist
is
not
is
not
plotted
and
it
was.
It
was
surveyed
back
in
them,
8
80s
by
Tony
Medina,
and
he
P
surveyed
that
entire
32
acre
tract,
and
he
bet
he
broke
it
up
into
individual
Lots
with
us
with
a
row
down
the
center
and
the
intent
for
that
survey.
W
Back
in
that
day
was
so
that
way,
the
family
could
convey
property
to
themselves,
to
the
brothers
and
sisters
and
to
the
children
and
to
the
grandchildren.
The
problem
with
that
land
is
that
it
is
intended
to
be
residential.
We've
actually
had
to
have
meetings
with
the
adjoining
property
to
the
west
to
try
to
use
them
to
convert
that
existing
use
of
industrial
and
we've
actually
have
been
talking
about
a
convergence
and
re
urbanization
of
that
whole
property
into
a
single-family
development.
But
the
main
issue
here
that
still
exists
today
is
a
lack
of
sewer.
W
Sewer
is
a
primary
problem
for
this
area.
Another
thing
I
would
like
to
point
out
is
that,
in
my
experience,
working
with
textile
tech
stock
currently
has
a
level
of
service
F
designation
on
Highway
359,
which
is
the
worst
designation
you
can
have
on
a
highway
system.
The
reason
why
they
have
that
is
because
they
don't
have
any
other
alternate
access
points
to
move
traffic
away
from
this,
this
area
of
that
developing
quite
quite
rapidly.
There
are
movements
already
in
place
as
we
speak,
to
make
changes
and
to
improve
that.
W
However,
it's
going
to
take
a
while
to
change
the
level
of
service
techstop,
recently
announced
some
money
to
produce
an
improvement
on
three
to
nine
I.
Think
we're
all
gonna
benefit
from
that,
but
I
just
want
to
just
make
you
aware
of
these
things
that
are
out
there,
that
that
pertain
to
this
particular
location.
Just
to
help
you
make
a
better
decision.
I
I.
A
Have
one
quick
question
for
you
this
particular
tract
is
before
us
was
part
of
the
original
32
acres,
yes,
sir,
and
it
was
sold
by
a
family
man.
Yes,
sir,
okay,
all
right!
Thank
you
very
much.
I
think
you
really
brought
a
lot
of
light
on
this
and
I.
Thank
you
for
coming
forth.
All
right
is
there
anybody
else
out
there
who
like
to
speak
against
his
own
change
against?
U
For
the
record,
Paul
Torres
appreciate
for
the
opportunity
they
pretty
much
covers
all
of
the
reason,
one
of
the
things
that
I
want
to
highlight
that
that
Matt
does
not
really
paint
the
real
picture
of
how
big
the
area
and
quiet
it
is
and
I
do
understand
that
within
the
vicinity,
which
is
still
part,
there
might
have
couple
of
business,
but
there
have
their
own
interest
is
different.
This
part
it
was
family
and
its
social
different,
there's
two
pillars
they
went
in
for
the
family
and
also
their
families.
U
I
know
that
the
schools
are
moving
up
forward,
but
those
were
decide
for
the
family
and
if
you
see
the
red
box,
those
houses
are
within
50
feet
so
that
business
itself
have
a
third
generation
that
promise
not
there's
residential
within
50
feet,
and
you
have
to
take
that
in
consideration,
whatever
plans
they
might
have
in
the
future,
but
this
time
it's
a
residential,
it
would
like
to
keep
it
that
way.
Thank
you.
Thank
you
very.
A
A
A
Okay.
The
next
item
is
public
hearing
a
mini
to
zoning
ordinance
of
the
city
of
Laredo
by
Ruiz,
only
in
LA
28
and
29
block
three
Lomas
and
then
through
subdivision
unit
13
located
at
2707
and
28:19
Lomas
edule
Beauregard
from
b1
to
b4.
They
proposed
to
use
as
a
mini
storage
facility.
Currently
the
land
is
vacant.
A
A
A
F
A
F
C
F
F
Now,
let
me
ask
you
this
question:
I
think
that
storage
facilities,
many
storage
facilities-
make
sense
in
your
neighborhoods,
where
people
can,
you
know,
will
need
the
extra
space
so
within
the
before
issue.
Is
that
like
it
allows
for
other
uses
that
are
not
yeah,
so
I'm
gonna
tell
you
what
I
think
we
should
do
I
think
we
should
deny
the
zone
change
and
I
think
that
we
should.
We
should
ask
them
to
do
a
CEP
for
the
mini
storage.
Only
well.
C
D
D
J
F
F
F
A
B
X
X
In
a
certain
time
and
my
client
was
was
kind
of
afraid
of
spending,
$20,000,
maybe
more
for
plants
in
the
end,
submit
him
for
the
special
use
permit
and
not
getting
approved.
That's
why
we
have
to
change
which
we
change
our
mind
to
do
I
so
unchanged
in
order
to
make
sure
that
we
can
do
the
the
main
stories.
So
in
fact,
I
have
a
layout
of
what
that
we
have
to
submit
the
city
as
a
part
of
the
airspace
permit,
but
because
of
that
constraint,.
X
F
Let
me
let
me
ask
staff
this:
is
there?
Is
there
a
compromise
that
we
can
make?
In
other
words,
if
they're
saying
that
they're
gonna,
do
a
storage
facility
is
their
way
of
getting
them
to
be
able
to
bring
this
cp4
before
us
without
having
to
make
that
investment
of
twenty
thousand
dollars?
As
he's
clean.
A
F
A
A
I
A
It
is
and
that's
why
I'm
saying
would
you
be
amenable
I'd
rather
table
this
instead
of
you
know
denying
it
that
way,
you
can
time
to
work
on
it,
bring
it
back
a
lot
quicker.
Then,
if
we
go
the
other
route
where
you
gotta
