Mayor Sizemore called the meeting to order in the Council Chamber of the City Hall
and stated the purpose of the special meeting was to hold scheduled public hearings on five
zoning applications and any other business as may properly come before the Council.
Mayor Sizemore presented Application #572-10, R. F. Emmord, for change of zoning
from "R -1B" One -family Dwelling District to "1-3" Heavy Industrial District on all of Lots 1
through 5, and all of Lots 7 through 10, Block 1, Colonia Hidalgo Addition, located between
South Padre Island Drive and Hendricks Street, east of Holly Road. The request was heard by
the Planning Commission May 23, 1972, and forwarded to the Council with the recommendation
that it be approved because the applicant has agreed to deed restrict against undesirable uses
such as those listed under the unclassified uses in Section 21-3 of the "1-3" District of the Zoning
Ordinance. The Planning Staff recommended that "1-3" Heavy industrial District be denied,
but indicated a Special Permit would not be objectionable for the intended use.
Mr. R. F. Emmord, applicant, was present and confirmed his willingness to deed
restrict the property against undesirable uses.
No one appeared in opposition to the recommendation of the Planning Commission.
Motion by Bonniwell, seconded by Branch and passed, that the hearing be closed.
Motion by Bonniwell, seconded by Gonzales and passed, that the recommendation of
the Planning Commission be concurred in and that Application #572-10, R. F. Emmord, for
change of zoning from "R -1B" One -family Dwelling District to "B-3" Heavy Industrial District
on all of Lots 1 through 5, and all of Lots 7 through 10, Block 1, Colonia Hidalgo Addition,
be approved, and that an ordinance be brought forward effectuating the change, with the
understanding that the applicant will deed restrict against undesirable uses such as those listed
under the unclassified uses in Section 21-3 of the "1-3" District of the Zoning Ordinance.

Mayor Sizemore presented Application #672-7, The Planning Commission, for change
of zoning from "R-2" Two -Family Dwelling District to "R -1B" One -family Dwelling District, on
a 15.47 -acre tract of land out of Lots 12 & 13A, Section 17, Flour Bluff & Encinal Farm &
Garden Tracts, located in the 800 Block of Egyptian Drive. The request was heard by the
Planning Commission June 20, 1972, and forwarded to the Council with the recommendation
that it be approved as requested. The Staff concurred in the recommendation as a logical
zoning for this area,
No one appeared in opposition to the recommendation of the Planning Commission,
Motion by Lozano, seconded by Stark and passed, that the hearing be closed.
Motion by Lozano, seconded by Stark and passed, that the recommendation of the
Planning Commission be concurred in and that Application #672-7, the Planning Commission,
for change of zoning from "R-2" Two-family Dwelling District to "R -1B" One -family Dwelling
District, on a 15.47 -acre tract of land out of Lots 12 8.13A, Section 17, Flour Bluff &
Encinal Farm & Garden Tracts, located in the 800 block of Egyptian Drive, be approved as
requested, and that an ordinance be brought forward effectuating the change.
Mayor Sizemore presented Application #672-8, Ray Wasserman & James Kidwell,
for change of zoning from "B-1" Neighborhood Business District to "B-4" General Business
District on all of Lots 3, 4, & 5, Block B-1, Pope Place, Unit #1, located on the east side
of South Staples Street 160 feet south of Doddridge Street. The request was heard by the
Planning Commission June 20, 1972, and forwarded to the Council with the recommendation
that it be approved with the owner agreeing to comply with the sign requirements of the "B-1"
zoning district by restrictive covenant. The Staff felt a Special Permit for the proposed devel-
opment would be a better classification than "B-4" since this district allows very large signs
which would be undesirable in this area.
Senior Planner Larry Wenger stated that Mr. Wasserman had complied with the
request of the Planning Commission and filed restrictive covenant relative to the sign require-
ments of the "B-1" zoning district.
No one appeared in opposition to the recommendation of the Planning Commission.
Motion by Bonniwell, seconded by Bosquez, and passed, that the hearing be closed.
