Easement Holder: City Of Galveston]

24P-028. ALRIGHTY.

24P-028. THIS IS AT 2202 STRAND AVENUE B THIS IS A REQUEST FOR A LICENSE TO USE FOR SOME CONSTRUCTION FENCING AND ITEMS. THERE WERE 13 PUBLIC NOTICES SENT.

FOUR RETURNED, ONE IN FAVOR, THREE OPPOSED.

NOW THE APPLICANT IS REQUESTING A LICENSE TO USE A CITY RIGHT OF WAY TO RETAIN CONSTRUCTION FENCING ASSOCIATED WITH ONGOING RENOVATIONS OF THE WILLIAM MOODY BUILDING.

PREVIOUS LICENSE TO USE FOR CONSTRUCTION FENCING OF THIS SAME PROPERTY EXPIRED IN JUNE 30TH OF 2024.

THAT WAS CASE 24P-06.

CONSTRUCTION FENCING IN THE RIGHT OF WAY IS INSTALLED ON 22ND STREET, ROUGHLY PARALLEL TO THE PROPERTY'S EAST PROPERTY LINE, AND ENSURE THE BUILDING'S SOUTH FACADE FENCING ENCROACHES APPROXIMATELY 8.5FT INTO THE RIGHT OF WAY AT ITS WIDEST POINT, BUT STILL ALLOWS SEVEN FOOT OF PEDESTRIAN ACCESS PAST THAT.

THIS PLACEMENT IS BASED ON THE SCOPE OF WORK, WHICH AT THIS POINT CONSISTS OF EXTERIOR FACADE RESTORATION.

THE APPLICANT ESTIMATES THE PROJECT WILL BE COMPLETED BY APRIL 30TH OF 2025.

NO PAID PARKING IS AFFECTED BY THE LTU.

OCCUPIES ONLY THE SIDEWALK.

THERE ARE NO CONCERNS OR OBJECTIONS RETURNED FROM OUTSIDE UTILITIES OR CITY DEPARTMENTS.

THE CITY'S TRANSIT DEPARTMENT JUST NOTED THAT ANY INCREASE IN THE LTU, YOU KNOW, SHOULD NOT INTERFERE WITH THE TROLLEY TRACKS.

BUT THIS CASE IS NOWHERE NEAR THERE.

BECAUSE THE SUBJECT PROPERTY IS IN THE MECHANIC HISTORIC DISTRICT.

LANDMARK COMMISSION PROVIDED RECOMMENDATION FOR APPROVAL AT THEIR MEETING OF AUGUST 5TH.

STAFF RECOMMENDS 24LC 028 REQUEST 24P+028.

I'M SORRY. REQUEST FOR THE LICENSE TO USE BE APPROVED SUBJECT TO SPECIFIC CONDITIONS, ONE THROUGH THREE AND STANDARD CONDITIONS FOUR THROUGH NINE.

WE HAVE SOME PHOTOS HERE.

SO WE HAVE THE VICINITY MAP SHOWING THE LOCATION OF THE STRUCTURE ON THE CORNER THERE OF THE BLOCK.

WE ALSO HAVE A PHOTO IN THE LOWER RIGHT HAND CORNER.

YOU JUST SEE WHERE THE CONSTRUCTION FENCING IS HIGHLIGHTED THERE IN THAT OVAL SHAPE.

NEXT SLIDE PLEASE. AND HERE ON THE LEFT HAND SIDE WE HAVE THE EXTENTS OF THE PREVIOUSLY APPROVED LTU.

AND THEN THE RIGHT HAND SIDE WE HAVE THE NEW REQUEST SO YOU CAN SEE HOW THE TWO KIND OF MATCH UP.

YOU'LL NOTE THAT THE NEW REQUEST IS SIGNIFICANTLY SMALLER IN SCOPE.

NEXT SLIDE PLEASE.

AND HERE WE HAVE A PHOTO OF THE LTU ITEMS AS THEY ARE NOW FOR THE CURRENT REQUEST.

AND THE PROPERTIES TO THE EAST, TO THE SOUTH AND TO THE WEST.

AND THIS CONCLUDES STAFF'S REPORT.

ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU DANIEL. ANY QUESTIONS FOR STAFF.

YES, ANTHONY.

SO WHEN WE HAD THIS COME UP A COUPLE OF MONTHS AGO, THAT WAS JUST A 60 DAY APPROVAL.

I DO NOT REQUIRE WHAT THEY WERE HOW MUCH? IT WAS THEY WERE REQUESTING UNTIL JUNE 30TH, AND THEY HAVE INDICATED NOW THAT THEY'RE NOT GOING TO MAKE THAT DEADLINE.

SO THEY'RE ASKING FOR A LITTLE BIT MORE TIME.

BUT I DON'T REMEMBER WHAT THE PREVIOUS TIME FRAME WAS.

BUT WE JUST LOOKED AT THIS LIKE IT WAS VERY RECENTLY. YES, SIR.

OKAY. SO ALL RIGHT.

THAT'S MY ONLY QUESTION FOR STAFF.

ACTUALLY I DO HAVE ANOTHER QUESTION.

SO THE PREVIOUS LICENSE TO USE WAS FOR THE FENCING.

AND THERE ARE STILL ACCESS FOR PEDESTRIANS ON THE SIDEWALK.

CORRECT. ON THE SCREEN RIGHT NOW YOU'LL SEE ON THE LEFT HAND SIDE THAT HATCHED AREA.

THAT WAS WHAT WAS PREVIOUSLY APPROVED.

AND THEN ON THE RIGHT HAND SIDE IS SHOWING WHAT THEY'RE ASKING FOR NOW.

SO THEY'VE, DIALED IT BACK QUITE A BIT.

OKAY. BUT RIGHT NOW THERE IS NO PEDESTRIAN ACCESS.

THERE IS ACTUALLY. RIGHT.

I'M TALKING ABOUT RIGHT NOW.

RIGHT NOW, THIS VERY MOMENT.

IF YOU WALK DOWN THERE, THERE'S NO PEDESTRIAN ACCESS.

[00:05:02]

THE REASON I'M BRINGING THIS UP IS BECAUSE I WOULD PREFER FOR PUBLIC SAFETY THAT IT BE COMPLETELY BLOCKED OFF.

IT DOESN'T LOOK LIKE THAT RIGHT NOW.

THAT PHOTO WAS TAKEN JUST A MAYBE A WEEK OR TWO AGO.

I'M NOT GOING TO ARGUE WITH YOU ABOUT THIS SO IF THAT CHANGE, WE COULD TALK TO THE AFTER LUNCH.

YES, SIR. SO I'M BRINGING THIS UP BECAUSE FOR PUBLIC SAFETY, GIVEN THE WAY IT LOOKS NOW, I DON'T THINK THERE'S ANY REASON PEDESTRIANS SHOULD BE WALKING DOWN THAT SIDEWALK. SO RIGHT NOW, IT'S FULL OF CRAP FROM THE EDGE OF THE BUILDING TO THE SIDEWALK TO THE EDGE OF THE CURB.

RIGHT. SO HOW LONG WILL IT BE LIKE THAT? IS THIS THE WAY IT'S GOING TO LOOK? THERE WAS A GUY OUT THERE PUTTING UP SOME FENCING AND MOVING SOME CHAIN LINK FENCE, ALL THAT.

BUT RIGHT NOW, THERE IS NO WAY A PERSON COULD WALK FROM STRAND TO THE ALLEY ON THAT SIDEWALK.

YOU MAY WANT TO DIRECT THOSE QUESTIONS TO THE APPLICANT, AND THEY MAY BE ABLE TO EXPLAIN HOW IT WENT FROM THE PHOTO THAT WAS TAKEN A COUPLE OF WEEKS AGO TO WHAT YOU SAW.

OKAY. AND I'M REALLY JUST LOOKING FOR FOR PUBLIC SAFETY.

YES, SIR. THE WHOLE THING NEEDS TO BE BLOCKED OFF.

I THINK THAT WOULD BE BETTER.

SO. OKAY, WE'LL SAVE THAT QUESTION.

THAT'S IT FOR ME.

ALL RIGHT. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? I HAVE A QUICK ONE.

THIS THERE'S A NOTE THIS WENT TO LANDMARK.

DOES IT GO TO LANDMARK FOR LTUS BECAUSE OF WHERE IT'S LOCATED.

YES IT'S IT'S IN THE HISTORIC DISTRICT.

AND, YOU KNOW, THE WILLIAM MOODY BUILDING IS ALSO A GALVESTON LANDMARK.

SO, YES, THAT'S WHY THEY MAKE A RECOMMENDATION TO YOU IN THIS CASE.

OKAY. ALL RIGHT.

THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT, WE'LL OPEN THE ITEM UP FOR PUBLIC HEARINGS.

IS THE APPLICANT PRESENT.

GOOD AFTERNOON.

MY NAME IS BRAX EASTERWOOD.

ONE TWO, THREE.

WILL DO. ALL RIGHT.

THANK YOU TO STAFF FOR YOUR RECOMMENDATIONS.

AND GOOD AFTERNOON TO THE COMMISSIONERS.

YES. YOU SAW THIS NOT TOO LONG AGO.

AND I THINK MAYBE WAS MAYBE A LITTLE BIT AMBITIOUS IN THE TIME FRAME THAT THE WORK NEEDED TO BE COMPLETED.

SO NOW WE'RE ASKING FOR A LITTLE BIT OF EXTRA TIME JUST SO WE DON'T HAVE TO COME BACK BEFORE YOU AGAIN.

ANTHONY, I JUST WANTED TO ADDRESS THE THE STUFF ON THE SIDEWALK THAT'S THERE TODAY.

IT WILL BE RESTORED BACK TO THAT, THE POINT THAT YOU SEE HERE.

BUT ON MONDAY, WHEN WE GOT HEAVY RAIN, A LOT OF THE FENCE BLEW OVER.

AND SO THEY ARE OUT THERE TRYING TO CLEAN IT UP BASICALLY AND CONTAIN IT WITHIN KIND OF WHAT YOU SEE AND WHAT YOU SEE ON OUR SITE PLAN.

AND PART OF WHAT WE THE PART OF THE REASON FOR DOING THIS IS ACTUALLY JUST TO RESPOND TO SOME OF THE COMMENTS THAT WE GOT IN THE FIRST GO AROUND, BECAUSE WE DID HAVE EVERYTHING BLOCKED OFF THERE.

AND ONE OF THE COMPLAINTS OR ONE OF THE COMMENTS FROM ONE OF THE NEIGHBORS WAS THAT THAT IT COULDN'T BE ACCESSED.

AND SO THAT'S WHY WE PULLED IT BACK IN.

IT'S REALLY JUST TO ALLOW FOR THAT, THAT FREE MOTION ALONG 22ND STREET THERE.

AND SO THAT'S REALLY WHY IT'S NOT COMPLETELY BLOCKED OFF.

BUT I UNDERSTAND, YOU KNOW, THAT THERE ARE HAZARDS THERE THAT COULD BE.

BUT THAT'S JUST TEMPORARY.

WE'D LIKE TO KEEP IT IN INSIDE THE FENCE.

AND PUT THAT FENCE BACK UP.

SO THAT'S PRETTY MUCH WHAT WE'RE ASKING FOR TODAY IS REALLY THE SAME THING, BUT IN A REDUCED SCOPE, BOTH IN LENGTH AND IN WIDTH. WE'VE MOVED A LOT OF THOSE MATERIALS THAT WERE IN THERE ELSEWHERE OFF THE SITE.

SO I'M HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY OTHER QUESTIONS.

SO NOW IT LOOKS LIKE IT'S MORE SCREEN THAN IT WAS PREVIOUSLY.

IT WAS PLYWOOD BEFORE IT HAD MURALS PAINTED ON IT.

OH, OKAY. SO YES, THIS IS MORE OF YOUR TYPICAL TEMPORARY.

THIS WAS THE FENCE.

THE FIRST ONE. YEAH. OKAY.

MORE OF A TEMPORARY CONSTRUCTION FENCE.

TYPICAL FENCE.

SO, BRAX, I KNOW YOU KNOW, NUMBER ONE I ENCOURAGE I MEAN, I LOVE THE FACT THAT SOMEBODY ACTUALLY GOES AND RESTORES THESE BECAUSE THESE NEVER GET DONE ON TIME AND ON BUDGET EVER.

YOU KNOW THAT AND IT'S BUT AND WE KIND OF GOT TO ENDURE A LITTLE PAIN FOR SOMEBODY TO GO THROUGH THIS.

AND I'M SURE THIS IS JUST LIKE SOME OF THOSE THE OTHER BUILDINGS WE HAVE DOWNTOWN THAT ARE BEING DONE.

YOU'RE SAYING APRIL, THE END OF APRIL.

I CAN'T IMAGINE HOW.

HOW LONG? WHERE DO YOU GUYS WHERE ARE YOU NOW? JUST SO WE JUST KIND OF GIVE US AN IDEA OF WHERE YOU ARE IN THE CONSTRUCTION ON THIS NOW.

I MEAN, I THINK I WOULD SAY PRETTY SAFELY THREE, 3 TO 4 MONTHS OUT.

[00:10:05]

YEAH. SURE.

PLEASE. KEITH BASSETT 12 CEDAR LAWN CIRCLE.

I'M THE OWNER AND CONTRACTOR, SO WE HAVE TO HAVE THE BUILDING CLOSED OUT BY THE END OF THE YEAR FOR THE NATIONAL TRUST.

IT'S, YOU KNOW, IT'S A NATIONAL TRUST PROJECT FOR TAX CREDITS.

WE HAVE TO HAVE IT CLOSED OUT BY ABOUT DECEMBER 15TH.

SO WE DON'T REALLY WE'RE KIND OF OUT OF OPTIONS AT THIS POINT.

[LAUGHTER] SO TYPICAL MAY IT TYPICALLY WORKS BEST WHEN I GET MY HAND FORCED.

SO YES, WE HAVE TO HAVE IT ALL FINISHED, BUT WE HAVE FIVE PANELS LEFT THAT HAVE SOME STRUCTURAL STEEL THAT HAS TO BE REPLACED.

AND THEN WE'RE ABOUT DONE WITH THE FAR NORTH EAST CORNER.

SO WE THINK THAT IT'S REALISTIC.

AND I ASK YOU, I MEAN, MY HAT'S OFF TO YOU, NUMBER ONE, FOR TAKING ON THE PROJECT, BUT WE DO IN THE PAST WE GET QUESTIONED WHERE THESE LTUS JUST KIND OF SEEM TO GO ON AND ON AND ON, AND WE GET A LITTLE NO, THIS ONE DOESN'T HAVE ANY COMMENT THAT I SEE, BUT AND THAT'S WHY I ASKED THE QUESTION.

SO YOU GUYS FEEL PRETTY GOOD THAT BY THE END OF APRIL, YOU'LL BE DONE HERE.

OKAY. THANK YOU. THAT'S THAT WAS.

TO ADDRESS ANTHONY'S CONCERNS IF YOU DRIVE BY TODAY, IT LOOKS LIKE A BOMB WENT OFF THE FENCE BLEW OVER.

AND SO WE'RE HAVING TO REBUILD THE ENTIRE FENCE.

SO THEY SHOULD BE.

THEY WERE SUPPOSED TO BE FINISHED BY THIS AFTERNOON.

I DON'T KNOW IF THAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN OR NOT, BUT IT'S A MESS.

BUT IT DID THE PICTURE, YOU KNOW, YOU CAN SEE THE PEDESTRIAN ACCESS.

IT'S HAD REALLY GOOD NORTH SOUTH ACCESS SINCE WE REDUCED THE FOOTPRINT.

SO IT THE NEIGHBORS CONCERNS WERE WARRANTED AND PERHAPS, YOU KNOW, HAVE INCREASED FOOT TRAFFIC.

SO YOU CAN SEE THAT IT'S BEEN THERE'S A NICE PATHWAY IN THE UPPER LEFT.

THAT'S WHAT IT'S SUPPOSED TO LOOK LIKE AND LOOK LIKE BEFORE MONDAY.

DO YOU PLAN TO PUT ANY KIND OF SIGNAGE ON THE EXTERIOR OF IT? SO, LIKE, DON'T GRAB ON THE FENCE.

DON'T LOOK, DON'T DO THIS.

DON'T DO THAT. YOU KNOW, WE CAN DO WHATEVER YOU'D RECOMMEND.

HAPPY TO PUT. I'M JUST LOOKING AT IT FROM A PUBLIC SAFETY STANDPOINT I MEAN IT WAS ANCHORED PRETTY GOOD TO THE BUILDING.

AND, YOU KNOW, I GUESS THAT STORM THAT ROLLED THROUGH WAS PRETTY SEVERE.

AND I THINK THAT WE'RE HAVING TO REDUCE SOME OF THE SCREENING BECAUSE IT WOULD JUST BECAME A WIND SAIL.

BUT I THINK WE SHOULD BE GOOD TO GO FROM HERE ON OUT, BUT.

OKAY. I MEAN, I DON'T HAVE ANY AUTHORITY TO TELL YOU HOW TO DO THAT.

I WOULD JUST RECOMMEND SOME KIND OF SIGNAGE THAT SAYS, YOU KNOW, KEEP YOUR HANDS OFF THE FENCE AND THINGS LIKE THAT.

SO THAT. GOOD IDEA.

YEAH, YEAH. THANK YOU, THANK YOU.

IS THERE ANYBODY ELSE HERE WHO'D LIKE TO SPEAK ON THIS ITEM? SEEING NONE, WE'LL CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING AND BRING THIS BACK TO COMMISSION FOR ACTION.

I'LL MOVE THAT WE APPROVE CASE 24P-028 AS WRITTEN.

SO WE HAVE A MOTION AND A SECOND TO APPROVE 24P-028 WITH STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS.

IS THERE ANY DISCUSSION? SEEING NONE, WE'LL TAKE THE VOTE.

THOSE IN FAVOR? AND THAT'S UNANIMOUS.

SO 24P-028 IS APPROVED.

[6.B.1. 24P-026 (24803 – 24823 San Luis Pass Road / FM 3005) Request For Replat To Increase The Number Of Lots From One To Six. The Property Is Legally Described As The Hall And Jones Survey, Tract 1 - 4, 10.010 Acres, In The City And County Of Galveston, Texas. Applicant: Jennifer Grant, High Tide Surveying Property Owners: Salt Cedar Investment, LLC]

NEXT ITEM IS 24P-026.

THIS IS 24803 THROUGH 24823 SAN LUIS PASS ROAD FM 3005.

THIS IS A REPLAT TO INCREASE THE NUMBER OF LOTS FROM 1 TO 6.

SEVEN PUBLIC NOTICES WERE SENT.

NOTE THAT WE DON'T HAVE OBJECTIONS FROM CITY DEPARTMENTS OR PUBLIC UTILITIES.

BUT WE DO HAVE A COMMENT FROM PUBLIC WORKS.

THE CITY ENGINEER STATED THAT CITY ORDINANCES SAY THAT ALL DRAINAGE SHALL BE DIRECTED TOWARDS THE GALVESTON BAY, AND HE DOES NOT SEE ANY DRAINAGE EASEMENTS ON THE PLAT, INDICATING THE LOTS WILL BE LAID OUT TO CONFORM TO THAT REQUIREMENT.

AGAIN, THIS IS A REQUEST TO REPLAT ONE LOT TO SIX IN AN R1 ZONING DISTRICT.

THE REPLAT EXCEEDS THE MINIMUM LOT STANDARDS FOR LOTS IN THE R1 ZONING DISTRICT.

PLEASE NOTE THE BEACH FRONT CONSTRUCTION CRITERIA, AS WELL AS THE PLAT APPROVAL CRITERIA ON PAGE TWO OF YOUR REPORT. AND RECOMMENDATION IS TO APPROVE THE PLAT WITH SPECIFIC AND STANDARD CONDITIONS ONE THROUGH FOUR.

THIS IS THE AERIAL PHOTOGRAPH OF THE SUBJECT SITE YOU'RE SEEING ON THE SCREEN NOW, NEXT SLIDE PLEASE.

THIS IS THE SUBJECT SITE.

NEXT SLIDE. YOU'LL SEE THE PROPOSED REPLAT WITH THE SIX LOTS.

AND NEXT SLIDE YOU'LL SEE THE PROPOSED ACCESS FROM THE HIGHWAY THERE TO THE PROPOSED LOTS. AND THAT CONCLUDES STAFF'S REPORT.

ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU, ADRIEL.

ANY QUESTIONS? WELL, BEFORE WE MOVE ON, JOHN, I KNOW THAT YOU'D RECUSED YOURSELF FROM THIS.

IN DOING SO, IF YOU'D LIKE TO MAKE COMMENTS DURING THE PUBLIC HEARING PORTION, I'D LIKE.

[00:15:07]

I DON'T THINK I'M OUT OF LINE SAYING THAT YOU'D BE ABLE TO DO THAT IF YOU'D LIKE TO.

SO I'M GOING TO MAKE SURE THAT YOU KNOW THAT IF YOU HAVE A COMMENT THAT YOU'RE MORE THAN WELCOME TO STAND AT THE PODIUM AND MAKE THAT COMMENT.

SO I JUST WANT TO CLARIFY THAT.

I APPRECIATE THAT.

I'LL PASS. OKAY.

THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT.

ANY QUESTIONS FOR STAFF? I HAVE A COUPLE ADRIEL.

SO THE THE ACCESS.

SO WE'RE GOING ON TO A STATE APPROVED A STATE HIGHWAY.

SO THEY HAVE SOME I KNOW THOSE REQUIRE AN APPROVAL FROM THE STATE.

SOME THOSE GUYS GOT THAT.

YEAH. THEY'VE DONE THEIR DUE DILIGENCE.

THEY'VE CONTACTED TXDOT AND THEY HAVE A PRE-APPROVAL LETTER FROM THEM TO LAY IT OUT IN THE MANNER WHICH WE JUST SHOWED IN THE SCREEN.

GO BACK TO THAT LAYOUT, PLEASE.

SO IT'S BASICALLY THREE ENTRANCES THAT EACH LOT YOU KNOW, THERE WILL BE A SHARED ACCESS PER TWO LOTS.

OKAY, THEN NEXT QUESTION IS THIS WAS A I'M ASSUMING WAS A PLATTED RESERVE PREVIOUSLY, AND THAT'S WHY IT'S A REPLAT.

AND THAT'S JUST. YEAH. AND THAT'S THE ASSUMPTION AS WELL.

I MEAN, THAT'S WHY YOU'RE PROBABLY SEE THE DISCREPANCY IN THE REPORT THAT TALKS ABOUT TEN ACRES THAT'S DIRECTLY FROM CAD, BUT IN ESSENCE IT'S 2.8 ACRES.

SO YEAH, THAT WOULD BE FAIR TO SAY.

SO THE LOT REQUIREMENTS ARE ALL LDR.

WE'RE. R 1 STANDARDS.

YES. 50 BY 100 MINIMUM.

ALL RIGHT I'M GOOD.

THANK YOU. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS FOR STAFF SEEING NONE WE'LL OPEN UP THE PUBLIC HEARING.

WOULD ANYBODY HERE LIKE TO SPEAK ON THIS ITEM.

SEEING NONE WE'LL CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING AND BRING THIS BACK TO COMMISSION FOR ACTION.

SO IF I CAN FIND THE NUMBER, I'LL MAKE THE MOTION TO.

I'LL MAKE A MOTION THAT WE APPROVE 24P-026 WITH STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS.

SECOND. SO WE HAVE A MOTION AND A SECOND TO APPROVE 24P-026.

IS THERE ANY DISCUSSION? I JUST HAVE A COUPLE COMMENTS.

I KNOW THAT YOU KNOW, WHERE THIS IS AND THE SIZE OF THE LOTS AND ALL THIS STUFF IS A LITTLE.

YES. AND, YOU KNOW, ONCE AGAIN, WE ARE APPROVING A PLAT, THEIR PERMIT APPROVALS ARE A WHOLE OTHER PROCESS.

SO I JUST WANT TO MAKE THE COMMENTS THAT THOUGH, YOU KNOW IT MEETS THE REQUIREMENTS.

SO IT'S KIND OF HARD FOR US TO DEVIATE FROM THAT.

SO THAT'S MY ONLY COMMENT.

ANYONE ELSE? ALL RIGHT. IF NOT, WE'LL TAKE A VOTE.

THOSE IN FAVOR? AND THAT'S UNANIMOUS.

SO 24P-026 IS APPROVED.

ALL RIGHT. ON TO OLD BUSINESS.

[7.A.1. 24ZA-005 Request For A Text Amendment To The Galveston Land Development Regulations, Article 2: Uses And Supplemental Standards To Amend The Permitted Uses On Broadway And Article 3: Yard, Lot, And Setback Standards To Amend The Broadway Design Standards. Applicant: Development Services Department]

YES. WE'VE GOT CASE 24ZA-005.

WE'VE BEEN WORKING ON THESE KIND OF CLEANUP ITEMS FOR A WHILE.

ONE THING THAT CAME UP FOR THE LAST TIME THE COMMISSION DISCUSSED TEXT AMENDMENTS WAS THESE TWO LAND USES AUTO SERVICE, FUELING STATION AND SELF STORAGE.

THERE'S DISCUSSION ABOUT AUTO SERVICE AND FUELING STATION.

NOT RIGHT NOW.

THEY'RE COMBINED INTO THIS ONE USE.

IN ORDER TO BE MORE SPECIFIC, THE RECOMMENDATION FROM THE COMMISSION WAS TO SEPARATE THEM INTO TWO USES SO THAT WE HAVE ONE THAT'S CLEARLY AUTO FUELING, WHICH IS A GAS STATION, AND THEN WE HAVE ANOTHER ONE, WHICH IS AUTO SERVICE STATION, WHERE YOU ARE THE ACTION.

THE ACTIVITY IS REPAIR AND MAINTENANCE OF VEHICLES AND SOME OTHER ASSOCIATED ITEMS. BY SEPARATING THEM INTO TWO LAND USES, THEN WE CAN REGULATE THEM DIFFERENTLY.

SO YOU'LL SEE THAT STAFF IS RECOMMENDING THAT AUTO FUELING STATION BE PROHIBITED ON BROADWAY FROM 6TH TO 59TH STREET.

THE OTHER LAND USE THAT WE TALKED ABOUT WAS SELF STORAGE IF YOU WILL PROGRESS A COUPLE OF SLIDES.

SO HERE THIS IS GOING BACK TO THE AUTO USES.

AUTO FUELING STATION WOULD REMAIN THE SAME AS CURRENTLY REGULATED IN IT IS A LIMITED USE IN COMMERCIAL STAFF IS RECOMMENDING A NEW LIMITED STANDARD THAT WOULD PROHIBIT IT ON BROADWAY, AND THEN WE'VE ADDED IN AUTO SERVICE STATION AND INCLUDED THE SAME PERMITTED USES PERMITTED AND LIMITED USES AS AUTO FUELING STATION.
