RECOMMENDATION TO CITY COUNCIL REGARDING ZONING A SPECIFIC USE PERMIT TO ALLOW THE EXPANSION OF A CHURCH PROPERTY LEGALLY DESCRIBED AS LOT 2 BLOCK ONE OF THE ST.

VINCENT'S ADDITIONS, COMMONLY KNOWN AS 1717 SCHUMAC LANE, BEDFORD, TEXAS, AND CONSISTING OF 3.742 ACRES, THE PROPERTY IS GENERALLY LOCATED ON THE NORTH SIDE OF SCHUMAC LANE, EAST OF FOREST RIDGE DRIVE CITY.

THANK YOU, MR. VICE CHAIRMAN, COMMISSION MEMBERS PROPERTY IS LOCATED AS DESCRIBED NORTH OF SCHUMAC, EAST OF FOREST RIDGE.

THE REQUEST IS THAT CURRENT PROPERTY IS ZONED SINGLE FAMILY R-75, WHICH IS A MINIMUM SIZE OF SEVENTY FIVE HUNDRED SQUARE FEET.

FUTURE LAND USE DESIGNATION IS SCHOOLS, CHURCHES AND SEMIPUBLIC.

A LITTLE BIT OF BACKGROUND.

THE CITY COUNCIL APPROVED AN SUP ON THIS PROPERTY IN 2015 TO ALLOW THE EXISTING SEVENTEEN THOUSAND SQUARE FOOT BUILDING ON SITE.

THE APPLICANT IS COMING BACK BEFORE YOU TONIGHT TO ADD A EIGHT THOUSAND EIGHTY THREE HUNDRED SQUARE FOOT SANCTUARY IN A SEVENTY EIGHT HUNDRED SQUARE FOOT CLASSROOM SPACE.

CLASSROOM FELLOWSHIP HALL SPACE SO PURPOSE IN TONIGHT'S MEETING IS TO AMEND THE SUP TO ALLOW THAT. JUST A LITTLE BIT OF DETAIL ON THE SITE PLAN.

YOU SEE THE EXISTING 17 HUNDRED SQUARE FOOT BUILDING THERE IN PURPLE.

THE PROPOSED EIGHTY THREE HUNDRED SQUARE FOOT SANCTUARY THERE IN BLUE.

AND THEN THE SEVEN THOUSAND THREE HUNDRED SQUARE FOOT CLASSROOM FELLOWSHIP HALL THERE IN YELLOW. THE TIMING FOR THE FELLOWSHIP HALL IN THE CLASSROOM SPACE IS JUST LISTED AS FUTURE, SO THEY HAVEN'T DECIDED EXACTLY WHEN THAT WILL COME FORWARD.

ALSO, THEY'VE WITH THE ORIGINAL 2015 APPROVED SUP, THERE WAS A 20 FOOT LANDSCAPED BUFFER ON THE SIDE AND REAR OF THE PROPERTY.

SOME OF THAT LANDSCAPING HAS HAS EITHER BEEN REMOVED OR HAS DIED, AND THEY'RE GOING TO

[00:05:06]

REPLACE THAT AND CONTINUE TO MAINTAIN THAT WITH THE PROPOSED NEW SUP.

TOTAL LANDSCAPE AREA IS TWENTY THREE PERCENT.

THAT'S COMPARED TO THREE PERCENT OVER WHAT ARE REQUIRED IS WHICH IS 20 PERCENT.

AND THEN THEY'RE PROVIDING ADDITIONAL 39 PARKING SPACES, WHICH WOULD BE A TOTAL OF 192 PARKING SPACES.

THE ORDINANCE ALONE REQUIRES ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTY THREE PARKING SPACES FOR THIS USE.

THIS IS THE BUILDING ELEVATION THEY PROVIDED, THE THIS IS A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENT THAN WHAT'S IN YOUR PACKET, AND I APOLOGIZE.

WHAT WAS IN YOUR PACKET GOT THROWN IN WITH THE ORIGINAL SUBMITTAL.

THE DIFFERENCE IN WHAT WAS IN YOUR PACKET AND THIS ONE IS THE DOME AT THE TOP OF THE BUILDING. THE PURPOSE OF AN SUP IS TO MAKE SURE THAT SITES BEING DEVELOPED IN A COMPATIBLE MANNER WITH THE SURROUNDING AREA, SO THE SURROUNDING LAND USES WOULD BE MULTIFAMILY TO THE NORTH, SINGLE FAMILY, TO THE EAST AND TO THE SOUTH AND ANOTHER RELIGIOUS FACILITY TO THE WEST.

COUPLE OF PICTURES TO GIVE YOU JUST A LAYOUT OF THE LAND IN THE SURROUNDING AREA.

AND THEN, AS YOU ALL KNOW, WE DO PUBLIC NOTICES ON THE FOR ANY SUP OR ZONING CHANGE, WE DID PLACE A SIGN ON THE PROPERTY.

WE ALSO NOTIFIED 35 PROPERTY OWNERS WITHIN 200 FEET.

AT THIS POINT IN TIME, WE'VE RECEIVED ONE IN WRITING WHICH WAS IN YOUR BACK UP IN FAVOR OF THE REQUEST. WE ALSO ON A DIFFERENT IF YOU FLIP OVER ON YOUR SCREENS, I PROVIDE YOU TONIGHT WITH A LIST OF 13 LETTERS IN FAVOR OF THE REQUEST AS WELL.

THE APPLICANT PROVIDED THOSE YESTERDAY TO US.

TONIGHT, YOU'LL CONDUCT YOUR PUBLIC HEARING ON THE REQUEST AND TAKE ACTION THAT ACTION CAN BE APPROVED AS REQUESTED.

APPROVED WITH CONDITIONS AS YOU'LL KNOW AS YOU PLEASE ALLOW YOU TO ADD CONDITIONS IF YOU FEEL LIKE THERE'S A COMPATIBILITY ISSUE THAT A CONDITION COULD ADDRESS, AND YOU COULD ALSO RECOMMEND DENIAL.

WITH THAT, I CAN ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS YOU HAVE.

ANY QUESTIONS FOR STAFF? OH, WES TWO THINGS, ONE IN THE BOUNDARY FENCE THAT WILL BE ON THE SIDE AND BEHIND THE NEW BUILDING, THE ONE THAT THE SIDE THAT FACES AUTUMN CHASE, AS WELL AS THE BACKSIDE THAT FACES THE APARTMENTS.

IN YOUR NOTES YOU PROVIDED THAT IT'S A SIX FOOT HIGH PRIVACY FENCE.

THE ORIGINAL SINCE WE'RE AMENDING THE ORIGINAL SETUP, CAN WE GO BACK AND REQUIRE THAT THAT BE THE ORDINANCES SIX FOOT MASONRY FENCE ON BOTH THOSE BORDER BOUNDARIES THAT DOESN'T EXIST AT THIS TIME? I MEAN, YOU YES, YOU CAN PLACE THAT CONDITION ON THIS REQUEST IF NEEDED.

THAT WAS THE ORIGINAL REQUEST WAS APPROVED WITH THE SIX FOOT WOOD PRIVACY FENCE.

SO SINCE THEY ARE OPENING UP AND MAKING CHANGES, YOU CAN PLACE THAT CONDITION ON THERE.

OKAY. ANYTHING ELSE, OK WITH THAT, I GUESS WE.

ONE OTHER THING ON THE THE REQUIREMENT FOR THE LIGHTING.

YES. WHEN IT'S ADJACENT TO A RESIDENTIAL AREA.

THE PHOTOMETRIC GRID THAT'S IN THE SUBMITTAL.

YES. DOESN'T SHOW ANY LIGHT CALCULATIONS TO THE AUTUMN CHASE SIDE OF THE PROPERTY DOESN'T IN THE DESCRIPTION OF THE FIXTURES DOESN'T INDICATE THAT THOSE FIXTURES ARE SHIELDED FROM LIGHT GOING OFF THE PROPERTY.

IF YOU'RE LOOKING AT IT FROM SCHUMAC TO THE RIGHT, YEAH, YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT ON THE AUTUMN CHASE SIDE. YES, THE GRID DOESN'T GO OVER INTO THAT PROPERTY FOR ANY PROJECTED W HAT'S THE LIGHT SPILLAGE GOING TO BE TO THE AUTUMN CHASE RESIDENTIAL SIDE? WELL, IT'S IT'S SHOWN ON THE THE PHOTOMETRIC PLAN AS BEING ZERO.

WELL, FORGIVE ME, IT LOOKS LIKE ZERO POINT ONE SPILLAGE AT THE PROPERTY LINE, AND THAT'S ALL THEY'RE REQUIRED TO SHOW US IS WHAT IS AT THE PROPERTY LINE.

NOT WHAT'S GOING PAST THE PROPERTY LINE.

OKAY, SO THEY DON'T HAVE TO DOCUMENT ANY LIGHT POLLUTION TO THE RESIDENTIAL SIDE? NO. JUST WHAT'S AT THE PROPERTY LINE.

OKAY, THANK YOU. ANYONE ELSE THE APPLICANT IS HERE AND THEY DO HAVE A PRESENTATION AS WELL. YES, ABSOLUTELY.

WELL, WITH THAT, I GUESS WE'LL INTRODUCE THE APPLICANT AND PLEASE JUST GIVE ME YOUR NAME,

[00:10:02]

YOUR HOME ADDRESS AND FEEL FREE.

MY NAME IS AWAD ESKANDER 1112 JOHN MCCAIN ROAD, COLLEYVILLE 76034.

I'M THE ARCHITECT, THE DESIGNER FOR THIS BUILDING.

BACK IN 2015 WE WERE ASKED TO COMPLY WITH THE ORDINANCE AND THE CHURCH DID EVERYTHING THEY CAN TO MEET AND EXCEED REQUIREMENTS.

THE SETBACK IS ONLY REQUIRED TO BE 20 FEET TOWARDS THE EAST SIDE.

WE HAVE 25 FEET PARKING.

WE HAVE MORE OVER AND ABOVE.

WE HAVE 53 ADDITIONAL PARKING OVER THE REQUIREMENT LANDSCAPE AREA THE SAME WAY.

SO THEY DID EVERYTHING IN THEIR ABILITY TO COMPLY TO BE A GOOD NEIGHBOR.

THE REQUIREMENTS AT THE TIME WERE SIX FOOT WOOD FENCE.

THEY ACTUALLY DID EIGHT FEET.

CEDAR FENCE STAINED.

AND IT LOOKS UNTIL TODAY, REALLY GOOD.

SO WITH THAT SAID, I REALLY FEEL LIKE WE SHOULD KEEP THE.

THE CITY COUNCIL SAID SIX FOOD THEY DID OVER AND ABOVE, AND THAT COST THEM A SMALL FORTUNE WITH THE COVID SITUATION, DONATION IN THE CHURCHES ARE NOT COMING LIKE THEY USED TO BECAUSE PEOPLE ARE NOT GOING TO WORK, NOT MAKING MONEY.

I DON'T HAVE TO EXPLAIN THE OBVIOUS.

SO WE LIKE TO ASK FOR EXEMPTION FROM THE [INAUDIBLE] REQUIREMENT BECAUSE WE COMPLIED WITH WHAT WAS AT THE TIME AND TO BUILD A MASONRY FENCE.

WE MIGHT AS WELL CANCEL THE PROJECT ALTOGETHER BECAUSE IT COSTS A FORTUNE.

YOU KNOW, IF WE CAN FIND THE BREAK, ACTUALLY, SO IT MAY COST WELL OVER $350000 TO DO THOSE TWO SIDES.

THAT'S PROBABLY HALF THE BUDGET FOR BUILDING THAT BUILDING.

SO I RESPECTFULLY ASK THAT WE GET.

TO KEEP THE WOOD FENCE, WHICH COST THEM A LOT OF MONEY IS STILL IN GOOD SHAPE, AND IT SEEMS THAT WE HAVE TO DEMOLISH THAT TO BUILD SOMETHING ELSE.

WE COMPLIED WITH WHAT WAS REQUIRED IN 2015.

THE CHURCH IS A GOOD NEIGHBOR.

NOBODY COMPLAINED AT ALL FROM THE NEIGHBORS, AND THEY ARE KEEPING THE PROPERTY IN GOOD SHAPE. SO WE REALLY FEEL LIKE THESE.

THEY DESERVE A BREAK ON THE MASONRY FENCE REQUIREMENT.

I'LL BE GLAD TO ANSWER ANY QUESTION ABOUT THE BUILDING.

ANY QUESTIONS FOR THE APPLICANT? THE REASON THEY HAVE A DOME ON TOP OF THE BUILDING IS TRADITIONALLY IN EGYPT, THERE IS NO FORESTS, SO THERE IS NO TIMBER AND THEY HAVE TO USE BRICK LOAD BEARING ADOBE BRICK TO BUILD THEIR BUILDINGS WITH WALLS AND DOMES.

SO IT IS TRADITIONAL TO HAVE A DOME ON TOP OF THE CHURCH AND THEN INSIDE THE DOME THEY HAVE A HUGE MURAL OF CHRIST.

SO IT'S A NICE TO SEE THE PRESENCE OF CHRIST WITH HIS CONGREGATION INSIDE THE CHURCH.

SO IT'S A NICE FEATURE AND THEY USE THE GOLD LEAF IN THEIR ICONOGRAPHY.

THEY USE ALL THE ANCIENT EGYPTIAN ARTWORK THAT THEY INHERITED FROM THE ANCIENT EGYPTIANS AND THEY ADOPTED IN THE CHRISTIAN CHURCH.

SO IT'S NICE TO HAVE A BUILDING LIKE THAT IN BEDFORD.

YOU WALK IN AND IT'S LIKE YOU'RE WALKING INTO A MUSEUM AN ANCIENT EGYPTIAN MUSEUM.

YES. HOW TALL IS THAT BUILDING GOING TO BE BACK IN THE CORNER THEY'RE FACING TO THE EAST, THE BUILDING FACING TO THE EAST IS GOING TO BE ONLY ONE STOREY HIGH.

AND WE'RE IN COMPLIANCE WITH THAT 35 FEET.

WE'RE BELOW 35 FEET.

BELOW THIRTY FIVE FEET. I DON'T HAVE I DON'T HAVE THE EXACT NUMBER.

WELL, HOLD ON. I MIGHT HAVE THE ANSWER TO THAT QUESTION.

EXACTLY. I SHOULD HAVE.

I'M SORRY. I HAVE AN ELEVATION HERE.

OK. 30 FEET HIGH, 30.

YEAH, YEAH, THE HEIGHT IS 30 FEET.

AND THIS IS A ONE STOREY BUILDING.

THE FUTURE ADDITION WOULD BE TWO STOREY AND ALSO 30 FEET.

SO WE'RE AGAIN BELOW THE MAXIMUM HEIGHT ALLOWED.

YOU MENTIONED THAT YOU HAVE ENOUGH PARKING CURRENTLY, THAT SITE DOESN'T HAVE ANY PARKING

[00:15:07]

TO THE BACK OF YOUR PROPOSED FUTURE BUILDING.

YOU TALKING ABOUT THAT, YOU'LL MEET THE PARKING REQUIREMENTS WITH THIS DESIGN DRAWING THAT YOU PRESENTED IS THAT.

YES. OK.

YES. I JUST WANTED TO BE.

BECAUSE CURRENTLY THERE'S NOT ALL THAT PARKING BACK THERE.

NO, WE'RE ADDING WE ARE ADDING THE PARKING TO THE NORTH TOWARDS THE APARTMENTS.

THIS IS ALL ADDED PARKING AROUND THE CHURCH FOR THE FIRE LANE TO LOOP AROUND AND ALSO FOR ADDITIONAL PARKING SO THEY ARE NEVER SHORT ON PARKING REQUIRED.

ON THE PERIMETER OF YOUR NEW BUILDING AND THE PROPOSED TWO STOREY ADDITION FOR LATER.

OK, GOOD. SURE.

JUST TO CLARIFY ON THE PARKING, I'M TRYING TO.

ARE THEY ACTUALLY WITH THE BUILDING OR ARE THEY LOSING SOME OF THE ORIGINAL PARKING AND THEN JUST SUPPLANTING IT WITH THE PARKING ON THE BACK? I KNOW THEY ARE NOT LOSING.

ACTUALLY, WE MIGHT.

THE ENTRANCE TO THE LEFT OF THAT YELLOW BUILDING, THE ENTRANCE TO THE FIRE LANE IS MAYBE EATING FOUR PARKING SPACES.

AND THAT'S THE ONLY LOSS WE HAVE.

WE KEPT EVERYTHING ELSE, PROBABLY ON THE RIGHT SIDE THERE IS TWO MORE.

SO WE MAY HAVE LOST SEVEN PARKING SPACES, BUT WE ADDED ALL THE WAY AROUND MORE PARKING.

AND THERE'S NO ADDITIONAL PARKING BACKING UP TO AUTUMN CHASE RESIDENTIAL.

AND REALLY, I GUESS THERE'S ONE ENTRANCE, BUT IT'S NOT A MAIN ENTRANCE TO THAT BUILDING, SO THERE'S NOT GOING TO BE A LOT OF ACTIVITY ON THAT RESIDENTIAL SIDE, CORRECT? THERE IS NOT A WHOLE LOT.

NO. AND THE CHURCH MAINLY THEY DON'T HAVE A SCHOOL DURING THE WEEK OR ANYTHING THEY ONLY OPERATE SATURDAY EVENING FOR, YOU KNOW, [INAUDIBLE] LITERARY ON SUNDAY MORNING, AND THAT'S ABOUT IT MAINLY SUNDAY MORNING.

BY ONE O'CLOCK, EVERYBODY'S GONE.

ANYONE ELSE? WELL, THANK YOU, SIR.

WE'RE GOING TO OPEN UP, WE'LL OPEN A PUBLIC HEARING, AND IF THOSE WHO COME AND SPEAK AT THE END, WE WILL ALLOW YOU TO REBUT IF NECESSARY.

THANK YOU SO MUCH. YOU'RE VERY WELCOME.

THANK YOU. SO WITH THAT, I WILL OFFICIALLY OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING.

AND IF ANYONE WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK, JUST COME FORWARD.

PLEASE GIVE US YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS AND SHARE WITH US WHAT YOU'D LIKE TO SHARE.

GIVE US YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS.

EVENING, GENTLEMEN, LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, MY NAME IS [INAUDIBLE] TAKE MY.

OKAY, MY NAME IS [INAUDIBLE]. I LIVE IN BEDFORD IN 1409 [INAUDIBLE] DRIVE.

BEFORE THIS ONE, I WAS IN CENTRAL.

I BEEN MORE THAN TWELVE YEARS IN BEDFORD [INAUDIBLE].

I LOVE THE CITY. I'VE BEEN ARLINGTON BEFORE MOVE THE EULESS AND FINALLY, BEDFORD.

ONE OF THE REASONS TO MOVE TO THE BEDFORD ACTUALLY IS OUR CHURCH OVER HERE.

TO BE IN TOUCH WITH THE CHURCH AND MY KIDS, TO BE IN THE CHURCH.

THAT'S AWESOME. AND TRADITIONALLY WE VERY, VERY CLOSE TO OUR EGYPTIAN CHURCH, OUR TRADITIONAL HOW WE GO TO A DIFFERENT CHURCH.

BUT WE LOVE OUR LIKE COPTIC ORTHODOX CHURCH.

AND THIS IS HOW THIS IS ONE OF THE REASONS I'M STAYING IN BEDFORD.

I LIVE LIKE JUST A HALF MILE FROM THE CHURCH.

I CAN WALK TO THE CHURCH IN FIVE MINUTES OR BY MY VEHICLE IS LIKE A COUPLE OF MINUTES.

THANK YOU. THANK YOU.

ANYONE ELSE? OK, GOING ONCE SEEING NONE, I'LL CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING ANY DISCUSSION AMONGST COMMISSIONERS.

I DID WANT TO DISCUSS THE FENCING BECAUSE I GUESS I TEND TO WANT TO JUST LET THE FENCING REMAIN AS IT IS, SO I DIDN'T KNOW IF THAT'S SOMETHING THAT WE NEED TO DISCUSS IF YOU WERE WANTING TO MAKE THAT INTO YOUR MOTION.

I THINK THAT SINCE IT'S IN THE CURRENT SUP, WE DON'T HAVE TO CHANGE IT BECAUSE IT'S ALL

[00:20:05]

READY. WE COULD, BUT WE'RE NOT REQUIRED TO ADDRESS IT IF WE'RE NOT GOING TO CHANGE IT.

I THOUGHT.

I WOULD BE INCLINED NOT TO CHANGE IT. I THOUGHT WE WERE NO LONGER ABLE TO SPECIFY MATERIALS FOR THOSE TYPES OF SEPARATION WALLS.

WELL, EXCEPT IT'S IN THE ORDINANCE THAT WAY, IT'S YOU KNOW, I MEAN.

OKAY. OTHER I MEAN, OTHER THAN THAT, YOU KNOW, BUT YEAH, WE TALKED ABOUT THAT, BUT IT'S WRITTEN SPECIFICALLY IN THE ORDINANCE AS A MASONRY WALL IN THAT IN THAT SECTION OF THE CODE. IS THERE ANY GRANDFATHER TYPE SCENARIO, WES? WELL, YES AND NO, I GUESS LET ME TRY TO ANSWER THAT.

AS YOU SAID IN THE ORIGINAL SUP IT'S HAS ALREADY APPROVED AND IT WAS APPROVED WITH THE SIX FOOT OR IF IT'S EIGHT FOOT, BUT NOTES I HAD SAID SIX FOOT PRIVACY FENCE THE.

BUT SINCE THEY ARE OPENING UP THE SUP IT DOES GIVE YOU SOME SOME LATITUDE TO ADD THAT CONDITION TO IT. MR. QUIGLEY TO YOUR COMMENT ABOUT THE MASONRY REQUIREMENTS AND STATE LAW THAT STATE LAW IS REFERENCING BUILDING ELEVATIONS.

AND I KNOW IF I SAY SOMETHING WRONG, CITY ATTORNEY IS GOING TO SAY SOMETHING TO ME.

SO BUT THAT'S THAT'S A BUILDING ELEVATION ASPECT, NOT NECESSARILY A FENCING OR A SCREENING MATERIALS REQUIREMENT.

SO. I MEAN, DO WE HAVE ANY RECORDED COMPLAINTS? NO. BECAUSE OF THE CURRENT FENCING.

NO. AND I WOULD ALSO GO ONE STEP FURTHER TO SAY, YOU HAVE ONE OF THE LETTERS THAT CAME IN IN FAVOR OF THE REQUEST WAS SOMEONE FROM AUTUMN CHASE.

SO CLEARLY THERE'S NOT BEEN AN ISSUE THERE.

I JUST WISH I HAD A FOOT [INAUDIBLE].

IT'S GOOD STUFF WITH STEEL POSTS, WITH STEEL POST.

YEAH. I MEAN, PERSONALLY, I DON'T SEE ANY REASON TO CHANGE THAT FROM WHAT IT CURRENTLY IS. SO I JUST WANTED TO HIGHLIGHT THE FACT THAT IT WAS A WAY TO GO BACK TO A WHERE IT'S A, YOU KNOW, STIPULATED USE CONDITION FROM THE ORDINANCE.

SO. OK, IF ANYBODY WANTS TO MAKE A MOTION, KIND OF OPEN IT WITH RECOMMEND APPROVAL, I RECOMMEND THAT WE APPROVE CASE PZ SUP TWO 2021-0000092 AS WRITTEN.

SECOND.

THANK YOU MR. CHAIRMAN, COMMISSION MEMBERS. BACK IN OCTOBER, CITY COUNCIL APPROVED AN ORDINANCE REGULATING AND ESTABLISHING REGULATIONS FOR SHORT TERM RENTALS.

WHAT THAT DID IS REQUIRED SHORT TERM RENTALS TO ONLY BE IN SINGLE FAMILY ZONING DISTRICTS.

SO WHAT WE WANTED TO DO IS COME BACK FOR YOU WITH THE ZONING CHANGE ACTUALLY PUTTING THOSE USES IN THE IN THE ZONING ORDINANCE.

WE DIDN'T HAVE A SHORT TERM RENTAL USE IN BEFORE.

SO WHAT WE'VE DONE IS WE'VE UPDATED THE THE SECTION 1.2.B, WHICH IS OUR

[00:25:08]

DEFINITIONS, AND WE ADDED THE SHORT TERM RENTAL DEFINITION.

AND THEN WE WENT IN AND IN SECTION 3.2.C, WHICH EXPLAINS USES, WE WENT IN AND ADDED THE USE OF SHORT TERM RENTAL IN SINGLE FAMILY ZONING DISTRICTS.

IT'S PRETTY SIMPLE, STRAIGHTFORWARD.

THE DEFINITION CAME DIRECTLY OUT OF THE ORDINANCE THAT COUNCIL PASSED IN OCTOBER, SO I CAN ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS. YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS FOR STAFF.

SHORT TERM RENTALS, JUST IN CASE HE BUYS WONDERING OR THE LESS THAN ONE MONTH RENTALS THAT HAPPEN IN SINGLE FAMILY, COMMONLY ADVERTISED ON AIRBNB, VRBO AND OTHERS ALIKE.

SO WHAT WE'RE DOING IS JUST INSERTING THIS WORDING AND WE'RE STILL KEEPING IT WITHIN A SINGLE FAMILY.

THAT'S CORRECT. THIS IS JUST A CLEANUP TO THE ZONING ORDINANCE, IS ALL THIS IS JUST AS AN ASIDE. WHAT'S THE PROCESS TO AMEND ANY OF THE OTHER DESCRIPTIONS THAT ARE ANYWHERE ELSE IN HERE FOR ALL THESE OTHER WORDS, WHAT'S THE PROCESS FOR THAT? THE SAME PROCESS WE'RE GOING THROUGH TONIGHT, OK, BECAUSE I FOOLISHLY STARTED READING EVERYTHING UNTIL I GOT TO YOUR RED STUFF.

OK.

AGENDA ITEM 4 CONDUCT A PUBLIC HEARING AND CONSIDER MAKING A RECOMMENDATION TO CITY COUNCIL REGARDING A TEXT AMENDMENT TO SECTION 3.1 OF THE ZONING ORDINANCE, ENTITLED SCHEDULE OF PERMITTED USES SPECIFICALLY RELATED TO THE USE OF GROUP HOMES.

STAFF PRESENTATION.

THANK YOU, MR. CHAIR AND COMMISSION MEMBERS.

THIS IS CURRENTLY GROUP HOMES ARE WHICH DEFINED IN OUR ORDINANCE AND THINK THE DEFINITION IN THERE FOR Y'ALL. BUT I'LL PUT IT IN YOUR STAFF BOARD AS WELL, DEFINED AS PRIMARILY A USE THAT IS REQUIRED TO BE LICENSED BY THE STATE.

NO MORE THAN SIX PEOPLE RESIDING IN THE IN THE SINGLE FAMILY DWELLING, AND THEY KEEP A FAMILY LIKE ENVIRONMENT WITHIN THERE THAT PROVIDES EITHER CARE OR EDUCATION OR SOME TYPE OF PARTICIPATION IN A COMMUNITY ACTIVITY.

WHAT THIS CLASSIFICATION DOES NOT INCLUDE, IT DOES NOT INCLUDE FOSTER HOMES, A HOMES FOR DEVELOPMENTALLY DISABLED, FOR SENIORS MATERNITY HOMES.

IT DOESN'T INCLUDE, I'M SORRY, LET ME STEP OVER.

IT DOES INCLUDE THOSE THINGS I JUST LISTED.

IT DOES NOT INCLUDE HOMES FOR ALCOHOLISM, DRUG ABUSE, WORK RELEASE FACILITIES, CONVICTS OR OTHER THINGS SUCH AS THAT.

CURRENTLY, OUR ZONING ORDINANCE REQUIRES FOR ALL GROUP HOMES THAT THERE'S AN SUP APPLIED.

IF YOU, I THINK, MAYBE WITHIN THE PAST YEAR, WE'VE HAD SOME INQUIRIES ABOUT GROUP HOMES AND HAD SOME SORT OF A CHALLENGE LEGALLY BY REQUIRING THAT SUP.

AND SO WHAT WE'RE DOING IS REALLY JUST TRYING TO KEEP OUR GROUP HOME SITUATION IN IN
