Chair Perez added that the Neighborhood Services Department is a complaint-based department and that this rezoning request was a step in a good direction. Angelica Terrazas stated that there were some residential houses located within the proposed site. Ms. Terrazas asked if the houses would be removed if the site was rezoned to A-1. Ms. Terrazas noted that she did not want to displace any existing residences. Mr. Earl noted that the houses would remain under the proposed A-1 zoning but if the site is redeveloped, then any residential uses would be removed. Chair Perez voiced her concerns regarding the limited amount of development and properties added to the site. Chair Perez asked if any additional residential uses were added, would a use permit be required. Mr. Earl confirmed that a use permit would be required for any additional housing. Mr. Earl added that some of the parcels were under citation and that there were court dates that need to be met. Mr. Earl stated that other property owners have approached him regarding rezoning their property as well. Mr. Earl added that other properties might rezone. Mr. Earl noted that there was a stipulation that would allow for a limited amount of development before all site improvements were required. Mr. Earl added that this would allow for a gentle transition and provide property owners the opportunity to redevelop. Romona Brown asked what type of businesses would be found on site. Mr. Earl noted that no new businesses were proposed. Mr. Earl added that some of the current businesses included pallet storage, wall building, equipment storage, office, and auto repair. Ms. Brown added that she would like to see required green infrastructure stipulations regardless of development or redevelopment. Ms. Brown noted that the property owners had to provide something to get the A-1 zoning designation. Ms. Brown asked if a time stipulation could be added to require site improvements before a certain time frame. Mr. Earl stated that all the properties, regardless of development, would be required to provide landscaping setbacks on 28th Avenue, 29th Avenue, and when adjacent to a residential zoning district. Mr. Earl added that the rezoning stipulations would encourage adjacent properties to rezone their property. Chair Perez added that time stipulations are discouraged. Kristine Morris asked if any development would be able to have all the current setbacks. Mr. Earl asked for clarification. Ms. Morris noted that the development standards table found in the staff report had a lot of setbacks that were not met. Ms. Morris asked if development would be able to use the current setbacks. Mrs. Sanchez Luna added that the development standards table found in the staff report were for what is currently on site. Ms. Morris asked for clarification. Ms. Morris noted that she did not want new development to not meet setbacks. Mrs. Sanchez Luna noted that as an example if the pallet storage in Development A was completely removed and redeveloped occurred, then the site would have to meet current A-1 development standards and meet the stipulations found in the rezoning case.
