4 Regular Meeting September 8, 1986 Page 4 Mayor Younger introduced for consideration a public hearing and approv- al of an Ordinance on first reading, the caption which was read as fol- lows: AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SAN MARCOS, TEXAS, AMENDING THE MASTER PLAN OF SAID CITY BY AMENDING A PORTION OF MAP IV-I, FUTURE LAND USE PLAN, TO ADD MAP IV-lA (WHICH INCLUDES THE AREA COMMONLY KNOWN AS PRIORITY AREA I), AND AMENDING ALL REFERENCES IN SAID MASTER PLAN FROM "MAP IV-I" TO "MAP IV-l AND MAP IV-lA" , AND DECLARING AN EFFECTIVE DATE. Mayor Younger opened the public hearing and asked if anyone wished to speak in favor or in opposition to the amendment. Jay Moore stated this amendment would change some property which he owns from 0-6 to 0-3 designation. He stated there would be a loss of value to his pro- perty. He stated zoning in San Marcos has been replaced by the Master Plan in that you must bring zoning into compliance with the Master Plan. Mr. Moore stated the area where his property is located. Mr. Robbins stated the area Mr. Moore was addressing is some of the most environmen- tally sensitive area in the City, and that pollution would reach the City's well within hours. Mr. Moore stated 0-6 designation is more valuable than 0-3 and that the City needs to address fairness because it would be lowering the value of the property. Mr. Hankins advised the Council that personal, private gain or loss should never be con- sidered. He stated decisions sometimes help and sometimes hurt value of property, but for the City to be on sound, legal ground, decisions should not be made with that in mind, that the Council should only consider the welfare of the community. Mr. Robbins stated that a transfer of rights could be made from one piece of property to another, and that a PDD could be used where the City gives bonuses, i.e., open space. Mr. Gonzalez indicated there is no area to transfer property rights that needs more density. Mr. Robbins advised the Council the amendment before them needs to be further amended as follows: (1) River Ridge from Industrial to Mixed Use and (2) Wyatt Tract from Medium Density to Medium Density, Low Density and Commercial. Gene Phillips stated he thought the 0-6 designation should be allowed or that a property owner be allowed to transfer rights elsewhere. No one else wished to speak for or against, so Mayor Younger closed the public hearing. Ms. Kissler moved for approval of the Ordinance on first reading and for the two amendments of River Ridge and Wyatt Tract to be amended and included and Mr. Nicola seconded the motion. On roll call the following vote was recorded: AYE: Brown, Farr, Guerra, Kissler, Nicola. NAY: Coddington, Younger. ABSTAIN: None.
