There were three public hearings for the meeting:
Public Hearing #1 dealt with a requested rezoning on 1501 Canyon Drive (Private Road). The owner (who is presently overseas) is request that his property be completely zoned R-1 so he can build a home on it. He no representation at the hearing. It is presently zoned R-1 and B-4, which means a future business could possibly relocate there. Six speakers showed up to speak against the rezoning. They told the commission that he has placed the property for sale and don't believe he will build only one home on it or just outright sell it. There were concerns of vehicular access, power access, right of way, easement. The commissioners voted 5-0 to table for 30 days.
Public Hearing #2 dealt with the rezoning of 1006 S 9th Street, from B-2 to R-1. Kid's World Day Care closed and she wishes to return the property to a home. She tried to sell it for four years and one buyer backed out. Vote was 5-0.
Public Hearing #3 dealt with the rezoning of 605 S Main St from R-3 to B-3. When rezoned it would make the entire block B-3 and would be more attractive to future business. Vote was 5-0.
The action item is continued from the last meeting which was tabled. A Conditional Use Permit is being request for 504 S 1st for a convenience store. The owner revised his proposed site plan to get approval from the P and Z. He reduced the building size to 1750 square feet and has 7 parking spaces. He added fencing and fence high lighting for security. He also said delivery will not be an issue. Mr Martin told the owner he received four letters in opposition to the permit. There was a motion to forward to city council approval but it failed to get a 2nd and it died on the table. Then there was a motion to reject the Conditional Use Permit and send to council. It passed 3-2.
The last action item was for the Ranches at Live Oak. It is located in the Extra Territorial Jurisdiction of Copperas Cove. There are requesting a final Plat for nine lots on a 21.56 acre plot of land. Mr Dewald was present for questions. It passed 5-0.
