Discussion concerning the area was held by Council. Councilmember Carl-Mitchell said, "My suggestion is we go ahead and adopt the remainder of the program, in terms of the district, and direct staff to contact the Guadalupe Neighborhood Association and Sister Amalia and make sure they are involved in the work in creating the neighborhood conservation combining district. I think the concern is over a controversial zoning case held a number of years ago and I know the Robinson Hill people supported that case and the Guadalupe people opposed it and I think this is a good opportunity to try to get them working together in concert on that and I think that was the intent of the report. I think if we can just drop that one section and I would like to direct staff to work with the neighborhood and business groups in the area on that issue. I would really like to move forward with the rest of the Operation Impact program..." ...... Mayor Cooksey said he agreed, "I think a neighborhood combining district is good. I don't want to be on record as favoring the boundaries of the district because I think we have included too much.....part of the Blackshear neighborhood is included in it and I want to make sure you include that you work with both the Blackshear and the Guadalupe neighborhood associations." 1 Council Memo 7 Motion 4/7/88 Councilmember Carl-Mitchell made a motion, seconded by Councilmember Humphrey to endorse the concept of the East 11th and 12th Street area revitalization preservation.
