Commissioner Bhuler asked if 51% of the parking lot had to be redone, would it have to conform to these standards. Mr. Bass answered we do not have a standard for this yet, that this amendment.is just for brand new developments. Commissioner Owens asked if this would apply to all sections of the city including Texas 10. Mr. Bass answered yes this amendment would apply because all the zoning categories and standards refer to this article. Commissioner Eggers asked if there was an existing business on Interstate 10, and the city determined that the existing parking dirt not meet the future standards, would that be considered a new development, He also asked if these people would be allowed to use asphalt or would it helve to be concrete, Commissioner Zahn asked if for example Whataburger was a new development since they razed the building. Mr. Bass answered that it was. He also stated that if a structure was substantially razed and the property was redeveloped, that was considered a new development. Commissioner Zahn asked if someone had an existing business and the city determined that the parking lot did not meet the future standards. would that be considered a new development or an existing development with a bad parking lot, Mr. Bass answered he did not think the city would have that kind of situation, because right now the city did not have a standard to use to tell someone to replace their asphalt. Commissioner Eggers also asked about the ',ierna's Kitchen parking lot as an example. Mr, Bass answered this amendment would not affect that. Chairman Young stated the Planning and Zoning Commission had to consider getting in the record that the ordinance should be corrected in the first "Whereas" to read.; "desires to modify"; and also at the end of the second "Whereas"to read "its citizens". Commissioner Owens asked Paul K.ruckemeyer, City Engineer, if the ordinance was adopted and gent before City Council, would this ordinance come before; the Planning and Zoning Commission again and be changed in a few months. Mr. Kruckemeyer stated the ordinance was written as a tool for the city to make sure any new development met a higher standard. Furthermore, he commented that the City was revamping Article X of the UDC, and this ordinance would be addressed again. however; it would be within the new Article X probably verbatim. He stated the ordinance being considered was for new construction only, and he did not expected it to change. Commissioner Zahn asked if new residential developments Would require off street parking. He asked if the R-1 standards specify requirements for a driveway to a house, FILMNING&ZONING COMM2SSiON P XG E- MNUTFS,Of SEPTEMBER 1,IM Mr, Bass answered the materials are not specified and that Article V, has some requirements for driveway standards and drive approach standards, Commiss."oner Zahn also asked what was the significant difference as to what is required now as far as the thickness of a driveway going into a house, as opposed to having a developer bring each driveway in the city up to fire lane standards. He also wanted to know if the city was asking for something not needed by telling someone that if he was going to have a concrete driveway, instead of being four inches it should be six inches. Mr.. Bass stated the amendment was fire lane standard and meant to be for heavy equipment on the surfaces. Commissioner Zahn stated he was concerned about reqUiring homeowners to meet fire lane standards in front of their horne• . He stated he would like for the amendment to exclude R-1, R-1 L., and R-1 C zoning categories so that residential remodels and new construction would not be affected by this ordinance. Mr. Kruckerneyer stated this ordinance was not intended for residential use be-cause it was not practical beside the fact that lime stabilization equipment could not be used on a 10' x 11' section Of ground, Commissioner Zahn asked if lime stabilization was a fir-0 lane requirement. Mr. Kruckerneyer replied that it was required, Commissioner Shuler asked if R-1, RA I-, and R-10 was removed from this ordinance would that eliminate a possible problem for homeowners or new construction in a residential subdivision, Mr. Bass stated if the Commission would like to specify that,for their own comfort, that would exclude those categories for new and existing developments. Commissioner Zahn made the motion to send forward the recommendation to C4 Council to approve #98-06-UDC. "Off Street Parking " to exclude R-1, R-I L, and R--1C zoning districts. Commissioner Owens seconded the motion. Commissioner Owens stated that he would like to make a statement that this was a major change. Commissioner Owens stated that he wanted the City Council to understand that the Planning and Zoning Commission was not in favor of the ordinance the way it was presented and definitely would like to exclude R-1, R-1 L, and RAC from the amended paving standards, The Commissioners discussed this comment and all agreed. Commissioner Eggers asked what type of pavement was at the Texas Star Golf Course, Mr. Kruckemeyer replied that it was asphalt in the rear parking area. Commissioner Eggers asked what would it have done, to the City if we required concrete. Mr, Kruckerneyer stated it would have cost the City more money. Commissioner Zahn made the statement that he was concerned that the requirement would be negotiated through a Specific Use Permit or Planned Development instead of standing firm with this ordinance, The Commissioners agreed with this comment from Commissioner Zahn. Mr. Bass explained that the Specific Use Permit was only for use PLANNING&Z"NINS ONII{riWION PAGE L 1 i dU ES O SERT'EMBER',19?8 and not the construction requirements for the use.
