ZONING HEARING Mayor LaRue announced that it was 9:30 A.M. and the Council would hear the zoning cases scheduled for public hearing at this time. Pursuant to published notice thereof, the following zoning applications were publicly heard: AUSTIN GERIATRICS CENTER, INC. By Richard Baker C14-69-242 Tract 1 26.489 acres of land out of OLs 56, 57, 69 and 70, Division "0" Tract 2 An 80' tract of land which encircles the entirety of Tract 1 Tracts 1 & 2 23-41 Waller Street Rear of 41 1/4 Waller Street. 49 3/4 Rear of 1201-1205 Haskell St. 1207-1409 Haskell Street Rear of 1501-1511 Haskell St. Rear of 36-56 Comal Street 22 1/2 34 1/2 Comal Street From "A" Residence 1st Height and Area To "C" Commercial 4th Height and Area From "A" Residence To "B" Residence Mr. Richard Baker, representing Austin Geriatric Center, Inc., requested the Council to pass a zoning ordinance granting the application before his client granted the requested right-of-way. Austin Geriatric Center was willing to dedicate the required land but had to wait for permission from the Federal Government before the land could be released. The Federal Government was loaning Austin Geriatric Center $8,500,000.00 and had to be consulted every step of the way. In order for the loan to be made, however, the Federal Government had to be assured that the zoning was approved by the City. September 11, 1969 =CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS Mr. Paul Tovar appeared in opposition to the zoning application, stating that there was need for a recreational area for school children in the 10th ward, and that some of the Austin Geriatrics land could be better used for a park. Councilman Gage asked Mr. Baker, "Who could use the Center?" Mr. Baker answered that to the best of his knowledge, no resident would be required to pay more than 25% of his/her income for rent. To be eligible for acceptance into the program a person was required to have an income of $4050 or more. He felt the facility would serve persons with income too high for low-cost housing but too low for private facilities. Mr. John Trevino voiced the same sentiments as Mr. Tovar. In his opinion, the land in question was the only site available for a new school that could be built without relocating families. PUBLIC HEARING OPENED AND RECESSED Mayor LaRue announced that it was 10:30 A.M. and that there was a scheduled public hearing. Councilman Johnson moved the Council open and recess the public hearing. The motion, seconded by Councilman Atkison, carried by the following vote: Ayes: Noes: Councilmen Atkison, Gage, Johnson, MacCorkle, Price, Mayor LaRue None Absent: Councilman Janes CONTINUATION OF ZONING HEARING Also speaking in opposition to the zoning change were Mr. Mike Guerrero, Mr. Albert Vela, Mr. Longino Monrreal, Mr. Cecil Ramirez and Mr. Jorge deGerra. Mr. Al Rugeon asked the Council for a 30-day postponement to allow time for a statement from the Federal Government as to whether or not the land was available for another purpose. Mr. Luis Medina spoke in favor of the proposed geriatric center. Councilman Gage then moved the Council grant the zoning.change. The motion, seconded by Councilman Johnson, carried by the following vote: Ayes: Councilmen Atkison, Gage, Johnson, Price, Mayor LaRue Noes: None Out of Room at Roll Call: Councilman MacCorkle Absent: Councilman Janes Mayor LaRue announced that, because of the urgency of the situation, there was an ordinance prepared to present to the Council at that time.

There followed some discussion between Council members and the City legal staff about which ordinances should be read at the meeting and whether there would be time that day to draw up an ordinance for the Austin Transit Corp. franchise application. Mr. Felts said that he was asking for a first reading on his bus franchise ordinance because he was anticipating an amendment to the existing bus ordinance which would require that TEI operate under a franchise. At the present time, he stated, TEI was allowed by a court ruling to run a service for the University of Texas.
