District to be in conformance with the UDC regulations. Ms. Gunning went on to say that the
owner of Starplex Cinema has no plans for expansion, but in the event of destruction caused by

Discussion regarding conflict of interest provision applicable to
commission members.
Ms. Elizabeth Hundley, Legal Department, addressed the commission. Ms. Hundley
stated that at the August 15, 2012 meeting, a question was posed by a commissioner regarding
what poses a conflict of interest and what action should that commissioner take. Ms. Hundley
provided a handout outlining Chapter 2, Article V of the City Code of Ethics, Section 2- 311(20).
After Ms. Hundley's presentation, the floor was opened for comments and discussion by
commissioners. Commissioner Castillo asked if a commissioner or a board member sat on a city
board and had a conflict of interest, would the member just abstain from voting or would the
member not serve on that particular board. Ms. Hundley explained that if a member served on a
city board and he /she had a conflict of interest with the city department that has jurisdiction over
that board, then the member should rescind his/her membership from that board.
Mark Van Vleck, Interim Director, Development Services, stated that when Kelly Allen
was elected to City Council, Mr. Allen cancelled all contracts he had with the city. Commissioner
Ramirez stated if an owner's company benefited from a contract with the City, the board member
should resign from the board, or leave the company or cancel the contract.
Commissioner Braselton stated there are occasions when his company enters into
participation agreements with the City, which are required by City Ordinance, and approved by
City Council. Commissioner Braselton asked if that agreement would be considered a conflict of
Interest, even though Planning Commission approval would not be required. Commissioner
Braselton asked for further clarification as to if the rule also included City reimbursements for fees
previously paid. Commissioner Hamilton requested further clarification on when was it
appropriate for a board member to abstain from a vote, After further discussion, Ms. Hundley
clarified that Chapter 2, Article V of the City Code of Ethics was specific to all city boards,
committees and commissions, not just the Planning Commission. Ms. Hundley continued she
would get more information to provide further clarification on doing business with the City and
present it at the next meeting. No action was taken.

V. DISCUSSION ITEMS
B. Two New Zoning Districts to be used for land use compatibility near
Public or private facilities (airplane flight patterns, refineries, water
treatment plants, etc.) that could present a threat to the public
health, safety or welfare.
Robert Payne, Planning Department, addressed the commission. Mr. Payne stated he
would present and briefly discuss two draft zoning districts -- commercial and industrial
compatible use districts for the commission to consider for future approval. Mr. Payne stated that
the City's Joint Land Use Study has identified several critical land uses and zoning issues that
should be addressed as soon as possible. One of the issues is the current "RS -6" Single - Family
District on undeveloped properties located under the Navy's Accident Potential Zone 1 (APZ -1)
near the Yorktown Boulevard/Weber Road intersection. Mr. Payne continued the Navy's
guidelines regarding properties located in their APZs are very stringent and they recommended
no residential uses be allowed and very limited commercial or industrial uses be allowed.
Mr. Payne stated the City does not have a commercial or industrial zoning district that
restricts uses that allow large groups of people to congregate. Mr. Payne stated the draft
commercial compatible and industrial districts are intended for uses anywhere in the city where
there could be a potential threat to public health and safety -- airport flight zones, refineries or
major water treatment facilities, etc. Mr. Payne stated that while the districts were designed
based on the Naval Air Installation Compatible Use Zone Use Guidelines, the districts can be
applied anywhere public safety issues are adjacent to high intensity uses.
Mr. Payne stated many of the uses in the two districts are not shown in the Navy
Guidelines and the use list should be considered a compromise between what the Navy would
like and what is normally permitted in a commercial or industrial district.
Mr: Payne stated a public hearing on the draft of the two zoning districts has been
scheduled for the September 26, 2012 Planning Commission meeting. Mr. Payne continued that
the Builders' Association, the Chamber of Commerce and other interested groups will also be
invited to the public hearing. Mr. Payne stated staff would be meeting with the Joint Land Use
Study (JLUS) Technical Advisory Group (TAG) prior to the public hearing, and if the TAG requires
changes to the draft districts, the changes will be forwarded to the Planning Commission before
the public hearing.
After Mr. Payne's presentation concluded, the floor was opened for comments and
discussion by commissioners. Commissioner Castillo asked for clarification as to whether the
commission would be approving the two proposed zoning districts or the actual rezoning and Mr.
Payne answered yes it would be both. Commissioner Castillo stated that the affected property
owners needed to be invited to this meeting as well. After all comments and discussion
concluded by commissioners, Vice Chairman Nadkarni opened the floor for public comment.
Jason Luby, 9847 Daisy Drive, addressed the commission. Mr. Luby stated he owns
approximately (33) acres of land located on the northeast side of the intersection of Yorktown
Boulevard and Weber Road. Mr. Luby continued his property backed up to high - density
residential developments and he has a contract in the works on his property. Mr. Luby stated he
was not aware that the property in this area was in an APZ district. Mr. Luby continued that
property located on the south side was mainly swale and he felt the proposed uses would not be
the best for this property. Mr. Luby went on to say the new high school was proposed to be
constructed in this area. Mr. Luby continued that the Navy should have resolved these issues
back in 1976 and he felt this was the wrong time for the Navy to increase their jurisdictional area.
