CALL TO ORDER – 6:00 PM Mayor Handren called the City Council to order at 6:00 p.m. 2. CONFLICTS OF INTEREST No conflicts were declared. Mayor Handren asked that comments relating to agenda item 7 be moved in front of the Public Comments. Mayor Handren called on City Manager Ben Thatcher. Mr. Thatcher stated that city staff is responding to concerns regarding the UDC process. Last Thursday, due to the weather, the Planning and Zoning Commission canceled the meeting City of Boerne Page 1 City Council Official Meeting Minutes February 23, 2021 to discuss the list of uses. This item will be on Monday's Planning and Zoning Commission agenda for consideration. Mr. Thatcher reviewed the process to date for the UDC approval. He stated that a consultant was hired in February 2019 and since that time 11 Planning and Zoning Commission meetings were held, there were 11 City Council meetings, 27 Steering Committee meetings, city staff twice mailed post cards to every citizen in the city. There were online surveys, and the Mayor discussed the UDC in the Mayor's Minute several times. The city is not fast-forwarding this project as some have commented. A Special Use permit is a tool that provides flexibility. 3. PUBLIC COMMENTS: Dave Luciani - stated that the city did a great job last week during the weather event. It is appreciated. John Wolters - stated that he has lived in Boerne 20 years. The proposed zoning changes could affect multiple properties to include properties he owns on Plant Street and River Road. Charlie Riddle - stated that he was speaking on behalf of multiple property owners. He asked that City Council review the new use categories to compare with current uses. It affects potential and future development of properties. Now is the opportunity to pause specifically in "Use" categories to give property owners the ability to speak to staff. Tom McCarthy - stated that the City and Kendall County responded well to the adverse weather and he appreciated what was done. He also stated that he was a property owner of vacant land in Boerne which he purchased as an investment. Several of his family members have had Covid. He asked that the City Council pause the UDC during these Covid times. Jeb Wait - stated that he owns property in Boerne that will be affected by the proposed zoning from B2 to C2. He did not receive notice of the change. There is no reason the UDC must be implemented by March 24. The proposed changes are significant and take away Use rights. The city should look at what San Antonio did when they adopted their new UDC in 2001. The city should wait to the end of legislative session.
