(Staff Contact: Emilio Sanchez, Deputy Director of Development Services)]
HEARING. WE HAVE A 2650 SOUTHWEST WILSHIRE BOULEVARD, SUITE 300.WE'RE GOING TO HOLD A PUBLIC HEARING AND CONSIDER AND TAKE POSSIBLE ACTION ON ZONING ORDINANCE CHANGE REQUEST FROM GENERAL RETAIL TO GENERAL RETAIL WITH SPECIAL USE PERMIT FOR A LIQUOR STORE. AND THE PRESENTER TONIGHT IS EMILIO SANCHEZ.
FOR A ZONING REQUEST CHANGE FROM GENERAL COMMERCIAL.
EXCUSE ME. GENERAL RETAIL TO GENERAL RETAIL WITH A SPECIFIC USE FOR A LIQUOR STORE.
THE APPLICANT IS RENEW PANT. ON BEHALF OF PRESTON BEND REAL ESTATE LLC, WHICH ARE THE OWNERS? AND THIS IS FOR SUITE 300. THE SCREEN ON YOUR LEFT SHOWS THE CURRENT ZONING OF GENERAL RETAIL, WITH THE PROPERTY OUTLINED IN TURQUOISE. THE SCREEN ON THE PORTION OF THE SCREEN ON THE RIGHT INDICATES THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AS COMMUNITY.
COMMERCIAL. THIS REQUEST FALLS WITHIN THAT COMMUNITY COMMERCIAL COMPREHENSIVE PLANNING CATEGORY.
THE NEXT SLIDE WE HAVE IS THE SUPPLEMENTAL REGULATION REQUIREMENTS FOR AN SCP FOR A LIQUOR STORE WITHIN THIS GENERAL RETAIL DISTRICT, AND THEN THE APPLICANTS RESPONSES ON HOW THEY MEET THOSE REQUIREMENTS.
THE SUITE THAT THEY ARE RENTING IS 3000FT², SO THEY'RE DEFICIENT BY 2000FT² THERE AND THEN THEY
[00:05:09]
MEET ALL OF THE OTHER REQUIREMENTS. THIS IS AN EXISTING SPACE, AN EXISTING BUILDING.WE DIDN'T SIT IN PUBLIC NOTICES TO ALL PROPERTY OWNERS WITHIN 300FT, PUBLISHED THE NOTICE WITHIN THE NEWSPAPER, AS WELL AS POSTED A SIGN ON THE PROPERTY, AND AT THIS TIME HAVE NOT RECEIVED ANY FORMAL OPPOSITION FROM ANYONE.
EXCUSE ME, A COMPREHENSIVE PLAN. AND, I'M HERE TO ENTERTAIN ANY QUESTIONS THAT YOU MAY HAVE.
MY APOLOGIES. I HAD AN INDICATION FROM THE APPLICANT THAT THEY WOULD BE IN THE AUDIENCE TONIGHT TO ANSWER ANY SPECIFIC QUESTIONS, BUT I'LL DO MY BEST TO DO SO IF YOU HAVE ANY OF THOSE.
I HAVE A QUESTION. YES, MA'AM. THE SINCE IT'S NOT MEETING THE SQUARE FOOT REQUIREMENT, IS THAT USUAL THAT THAT WE WOULD APPROVE SOMETHING THAT WAS DEFICIENT LIKE THAT WHEN IT DOESN'T FOLLOW THE RULES? YES, MA'AM. YOU HAVE THAT ABILITY IN THE SPECIAL USE PERMIT REQUEST, AND THAT HAS BEEN THE LAST THREE, FOUR REQUESTS HAVE ALL BEEN DEFICIENT IN THE SQUARE FOOTAGE OF THE BUILDING.
RELATED TO THAT. IS THERE A REASON WHY THE CITY HAS DETERMINED THAT 5000FT² IS DESIRABLE? SURE. SO GOING BACK A LITTLE BIT, SOME OF YOU MAY RECALL THAT IT WAS AN INITIATIVE TO KIND OF GET AHEAD OF THE VOTER REFERENDUM FOR ALLOWING LIQUOR STORES.
COUNCIL HAS HAD REQUESTED STAFF TO PUT TOGETHER SOME LANGUAGE.
WE PUT THAT LANGUAGE TOGETHER, PRESENTED IT TO COUNCIL, THEY MADE SOME RECOMMENDATIONS AND THAT WAS ONE OF THE RECOMMENDATIONS FROM COUNCIL AT THE TIME WAS TO HAVE THAT 5000FT². I JUST WANTED TO MAKE SURE BECAUSE IT WAS HARD TO TELL ON THE PICTURES, BUT THERE IS A BACK ENTRANCE FOR DELIVERIES IN THIS PROPERTY.
YES, MA'AM. THAT IS WHAT THE APPLICANT HAS INDICATED.
OKAY. AWESOME. THANK YOU. OKAY. THIS IS A PUBLIC HEARING.
I SEE NO. MOTION. I WILL ENTERTAIN A MOTION TO.

IT IS CURRENTLY NOT PLATTED. HE IS IN THE PROCESS OF PLATTING THAT PROPERTY INTO THREE LOTS.
[00:10:02]
AS PART OF THE PLATTING PROCESS, IT WAS INDICATED THAT HE WOULD NEED TO REZONE THE PROPERTY SINCE THE MINIMUM FOR A LOT IN AGRICULTURE IS THREE ACRES. HE WAS LOOKING AT WHAT HIS OPTIONS WERE AND SFE SINGLE FAMILY ESTATE, WHICH REQUIRES A ONE ACRE MINIMUM, FIT HIS REQUIREMENTS THE BEST FOR WHAT HE NEEDED TO ACCOMPLISH WITH HIS PROPERTY.THE MAP ON YOUR RIGHT HAND SIDE OF THE SCREEN INDICATES THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN IS NEIGHBORHOODS.
