"The way the ordinance reads, currently, the development rights can be transferred not only within the central business district, but actually outside the central business district in what's known as the DMU area. I understand, based on discussions with the staff as well as the Council that the intent of the Council may have been to only allow the transfers to occur within the central business district area and I thought it would be important to bring this matter to your attention and clarify what the Council intent was. Whether it was to make those transfers only within the central business district or the DMU area as well. I thought this the best way to raise the question and get some direction from you. If you decide to change the way the ordinance reads, now, we would have to take the matter back to the Planning Commission for review and then back to the Council for final action." Councilmember Shipman stated, "The intent was to transfer into the central business district, but I think the critical matter here is what effect this would have on the DMU and I want more information about it. It does not affect the legislation at all as Council Memo 10 1/16/86 i far as the ability to transfer the air rights. It just says where they go. Whether strictly to the central business district, which was really what our discussion was all about, or include the DMU. I think it would be appropriate to have some more information." The Jim Duncan, Director of OLDS, said "As far as the transfer I think you know we have about 3.2 million square feet that were certified on December 31 that would be eligible for transfer. ordinance itself has quite a few limitations on that which would preclude any undue concentration in singular areas. For example, no single site can accept more than a 30% increase over what it would have gotten under the Zoning Ordinance. In the DMU, it is a 5.0 FAR so the maximum on any single site could be at 6.5. We also have a time limit on it....the time period in which it has to be executed. We also felt the three million, which would be maximum, would not cause any problems in the DMU. We looked at DMU boundaries and found no relationship with single family type neighborhoods in its application, the first time, but we can look into it further and bring back more detailed information." Councilmember Shipman said she would like to know the proximity to any residential areas. "I immediately think of the University area and know there is some smattering of DMU by the Lamar area." She asked for more information before any process is begun. STUDY OF SOUTH TEXAS PROJECT Councilmember Humphrey introduced an item to Council to approve a study on the South Texas Project by Amory Lovins of the Rocky Mountain Institute. City Manager Carrasco said this should go through the RFP process so anyone who wishes to bid may do so. Motion The Council, on Councilmember Humphrey's motion, Councilmember Shipman's second, approved issuing an RFP for a study on the South Texas Project. (7-0 Vote) EXECUTIVE SESSION Mayor Cooksey announced Council would go into executive session pursuant to Article 6252-17, Texas Revised Civil Statutes Annotated to discuss litigation and board and commissions. No official action of the City Council will be taken on any of these matters unless such item is specifically listed on the agenda. RECESS Council recessed for executive session at 4:45 and resumed its recessed meeting at 5:20 p.m. Council Memo 11 APPEAL ON DECISION OF ELECTRICAL BOARD 1/16/86 Mayor Cooksey opened the public hearing set for 5:00p.m. on an appeal from Mr. Richard G. Garza on the decision of the Electrical Board regarding a master's license for Mr. Bob Weik. After some discussion it was determined that the posting of the Electric Board's meeting during which Mr. Weik's case was discussed was not properly posted and Council directed the complaint be sent back to the Electric Board and in the meantime, re-instated Mr. Weik's license. HEARING POSTPONED Postponed until January 30, 1986 at 5:00 p.m. is the hearing on amending Section 13-2-1 of the Zoning Ordinance, amending the definition of "Restaurant" to conform to current regulation; and passage of ordinance. PUBLIC HEARING ON APPEAL OF PLANNING COMMISSION'S DECISION Mayor Cooksey opened the public hearing set for 5:30 p.m. on an appeal from Mr. Rusty Malik of the Planning Commission's decision on Case No. RZ-85-048 (site plan approval) on behalf of the Sigmore Corporation. Marie Gaines, OLDS, reviewed the case and said it had been departmentally approved. Rusty Malik, applicant's architect, showed what they would like to do to expand the area to include a convenience store. Ken Eaton, Diamond Shamrock, said they have met all of the City requirements. Bill Bingham, representing the applicant, presented a petition of names of customers who had asked for a convenience store. Nik Brown, Balcones Civic Association, said that his organization does not approve of a store on the site because of the terrain, the traffic and the congestion of the site. Bob Leonard, Balcones Civic Association, said the site plan is not in compliance with the ordinance. Mary Lou Shirer, whose property adjoins the site, asked Council to deny the site plan, stating the small area and location of driveways is not conducive to a convenience store. Jim Nias, representing Ms. Shirer, said the main problem and question is the internal circulation on the site. He asked Council to deny the appeal. Council Memo 12 1/16/86 Mr. Bingham presented his closing argument. After a discussion of traffic and trips generated, the following motion was made: Motion The Council, on Councilmember Shipman's motion, Councilmember Carl-Mitchell's second, voted to uphold the action of the Planning Commission and deny a convenience store on the site, Case No. RZ-85-048.
