Ray Kring • Mayor Pro Tem Bonniwell called the meeting to order in the Council Chamber of the City Hall and stated the purpose of the meeting was to hold scheduled public hearings on seven zoning applications and any other business as may properly come before the Council. He ex- plained the procedure to be followed. City Manager Townsend stated that a letter had been received from Mr. Eldardo R.

The request was heard by the Planning Commission on November 14, 1972, and forwarded to the Council with the recommendation that it be approved since this property is located in the Country Club Estates Subdivision and is developed with nice single- family dwellings.

M. Nicholson, for change of zoning from "R -1B" One -family Dwelling District to "B-4" General Business District on 3.9 acres out of Lot 25, Section 18, Flour Bluff & Encinal Farm & Garden Tracts, located at the northwest corner of Rodd Field and Holly Roads. The request was heard by the Planning Commission on November 14, 1972 and forwarded to the Council with the recommendation that the "13-4" be approved as a logical use of the Property. The Planning Staff recommends denial of the "B-4" zoning but in lieu thereof recommends that the land be zoned "R-2" Two-family Dwelling District which exists adjacent to the north. Mr. Larry Urban, representing the applicant, appeared and offered to answer any questions. Reverend Branch inquired if the Staff's recommendation for "R-2" zoning would be satisfactory to the applicant, and Mr. Urban stated that he would prefer that it be zoned "B-4". No one appeared in opposition to the recommendation of the Planning Commission. Motion by Stark , seconded by Bosquez and passed, that the hearing be closed. Motion by Stark, seconded by Gonzales and passed, Bonniwell disqualifying himself, that the recommendation of the Planning Commission be concurred in and that Application #1172-5, D. M.

The request was heard by the Planning Com- mission on November 14, 1972, and forwarded to the Council with the recommendation that it be approved on the basis that this is an area that has had extensive change to justify the zoning. The Planning Staff recommends denial of "B-1" Neighborhood Business District but in lieu thereof, recommends that "AB" Professional Office District be approved on the basis that there is already sufficient neighborhood business zoning in the area. Mr. Jack Rice Turner appeared in favor of the application and presented Council with pictures of the area, pointing out that it is rundown property, stating that he plans to • • Minutes Special Council Meeting December 27, 1972 Page 3 improve the property.

Mr. Townsend stated that Mr. Simon Eisner of Planning Consultants will be in the City on January 15 and 16, 1973, for meetings, and Mayor Pro Tem Bonniwell requested that Council be notified so that they may meet with him.

The Planning Staff recommended that a portion of this request be considered at this time and asked approval of the "1-2" and "A-1" areas and that "A-1" also be granted in lieu of the "B-1" request, but that the remaining areas of "R-2" be denied for further design work, Mayor Pro Tem Bonniwell inquired if deed restrictions against noxious uses would be included and Mr. Ted Anderson, representative of the Texas Methodist Founda- tion, stated that they would be willing to file such deed restrictions.
