Mayor Jason Luby called the meeting to order in the Council Chamber of
the City Hall, stating the purpose of the Special Meeting was to hold public hearings
on zoning applications and any other business as may properly come before the
Council.
City Manager Townsend presented Application #574-2, H. E. Savoy, for
change of zoning from "R -1B" One -family Dwelling District to "R-2" Multiple Dwelling
District on Lots 10 & 11, Block 12, Flour Bluff Park, locatedon the east side of
McDonald Street south of Matlock Street. The request was heard by the Planning
Commission May 21, 1974, and forwarded to the Council with the recommendation that
it be approved as a logical extension of the present "R-2" zoning to the north.
The Planning Staff concurred in this recommendation. Mr. Townsend pointed out that
this tract of land is located in Noise Zone #1 and there are no noise problems.
No one appeared in opposition to the recommendation of the Planning
Commission.
Motion by Lozano, seconded by Branch and passed, that the hearing be
closed.
Motion by Stark, seconded by Ricardo Gonzalez and passed, that the recom-
mendation of the Planning Commission be concurred in and Application #574-2, H. E.
Savoy, for change of zoning from "R -1B" One -family Dwelling District to "R-2"
Multiple Dwelling District on Lots 10 & 11, Block 12, Flour Bluff Park, be approved
and an ordinance be brought forward effectuating the change.
City Manager Townsend presented Application #C574-3, City Planning Com-
mission, for change of zoning from "B-1" Neighborhood Business District to "B-4"
General Business District on Lots 1 & 2, Block A; Lots 1, 2 and 3, Block B, Manor
Terrace and a portion (351.30' front by 260' depth) of Lots 8 and 9, Gnegy Addition,
located on both sides of South Padre Island Drive at Manor Drive. The request was
heard by the Planning Commission on May 21, 1974, and forwarded to the Council with

the recommendation that it be approved as a logical extension of "B-4" zoning in
the area. The Planning Staff concurred in this recommendation. He reported that
two letters had been received since the Commission hearing in favor of the application.
No one appeared in opposition to the recommendation of the Planning Com-
mission.
Motion by Branch, seconded by Lozano and passed, that the hearing be
closed.
Motion by Ricardo Gonzalez, seconded by Acuff and passed, that the recom-
mendation of the Planning Commission be concurred in and Application #C574-3, City
Planning Commission, for change of zoning from "13-1" Neighborhood Business District
to "B-4" General Business District on Lots 1 & 2, Block A; Lots 1, 2 and 3, Block B,
Manor Terrace and a portion (351.30' front by 260' depth) of Lots 8 and 9, Gnegy
Addition, be approved as requested, and an ordinance be brought forward effectuating
the change.
City Manager Townsend presented Application 4574-4, Seymour Mendell, for
change of zoning from "R -1B" One -family Dwelling District and "R-2" Multiple Dwelling
District to "A-2" Apartment House District on 13.2 acres out of Lots 17 and 18,
Section 28, Flour Bluff and Encinal Farm and Garden Tracts and Lot 9, Block 2,
Greenway Gardens 12, located south of Sparkle Sea Drive and east of Rodd Field Road.
The request was heard by the Planning Commission May 21, 1974 and forwarded to the
Council with the recommendation that it be denied, but in lieu thereof "A-1" Apart-
ment House District be approved on that portion of the subject property presently
zoned "R-2" and that "R-2" Multiple Dwelling District be approved on that portion
zoned "R -1B" Single-family Dwelling District. It was the Planning Staff's opinion
that "A-2" should be denied and that the portion presently zoned "R-2" should
remain so zoned, but that the portion zoned "R -1B" should be zoned "R-2" also,
which would provide a buffer between the single-family development to the north and
"A-2" to the south.
Chief Planner Larry Wenger pointed out the location of the property on
the land use map and explained that there are four stub -end streets indicated on
the existing filed plat which are built and there is a problem of tying these streets
into the future development. He stated the Staff recommends that some of these
streets connect into the area of request since there is presently only one access
to Rodd Field Road
road (that being Sparkle Sea Drive),/which would not be adequate to serve the single-

family area. He further stated that it is the Staff's opinion that approval of
additional "A-2" zoning would place an undue concentration of population in this
area in view of the "A-2" zoning already existing.
The applicant was not present to present a plan, and no one appeared in
opposition to the foregoing request.
Motion by Acuff, seconded by Lozano and passed, that the hearing be
closed.
Motion by Stark, seconded by Acuff And passed, with Luby voting "Nay",
that the recommendation of the Planning Commission be concurred in and Application
#574-4, Seymour Mendell, for change of zoning from "R -1B" One -family Dwelling
District and "R-2" Multiple Dwelling District to "A-2" Apartment House District
on 13.2 acres out of Lots 17 and 18, Section 28, Flour Bluff and Encinal Farm and
Garden Tracts, and Lot 9, Block 2, Greenway Gardens #2, be denied, but in lieu
thereof "A-1" Apartment House District be approved on that portion of the property
presently zoned "R-2" and that "R-2" Multiple Dwelling District be approved on that
portion zoned "R -1B" Single-family Dwelling District, and an ordinance be brought
forward effectuating the change.
